How to Experience God's Delivering Power

God is called by many names. He’s the Lord our Healer, our Provider, our Banner, and our Righteousness. He also promises to be our deliverer. In this troubled world that may very well be what we need Him to be most often.

But there are many believers who never experience God’s mighty delivering power because, instead of walking closely with Him day by day, they wait until danger strikes to call upon Him. That just does not work! If you want God to rescue you in the bad times, you have to fellowship with Him in the Good times. Why? Because God responds to faith (Heb. 11:6)! Our faith, not our need, is what causes Him to act on our behalf.

I believe God is talking to you today, “You will only develop that kind of faith, that kind of trust and confidence in Me, when you spend enough time with Me to get to know Me. If you serve Me half-heartedly, then you’ll not have confidence in Me to deliver you from trouble; and when danger surrounds you, instead of being filled with faith, you’ll find yourself paralyzed with fear.”

“Love and serve Me with your whole heart. Walk closely with Me in the good times. Then, when you need Me to be your Deliverer, you’ll know without a doubt you can trust Me to care for you, and I will!”

Yes, it’s true God loves you and wants to have fellowship with you. First John 3:20-22 tells us that we have confidence toward God when we do the things that are pleasing in His sight. Go ahead, confess your sin and commit to give Him first place in your life (Matt. 6:31-33), beginning today! 

Don’t Give Up - You Can Make It!

Today, people everywhere are experiencing challenges, and for some it’s the toughest 24 hours of their lives. So, how about you? What’s the rest of your life going to be like? Like so many others you may be going about life as usual, but inside you may be hurting, you may be disappointed, you may even feel like you can’t go on; but it doesn’t have to be that way! If so, I want you to know something; all of that can change in an instant. You can start your life over and make today the first day of the beginning of the rest of your life, of hope, and prosperity.

But you might look at yourself and say, “I’ve done some shameful things and made some terrible mistakes.” Listen, it’s all been taken care of; Jesus paid the price for them all! He paid the full penalty for your sins, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). You see sin has consequences “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Rom. 6:23). Jesus is God’s answer to sin “But God commendeth His Love towards us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8). The Bible says, he that believes and is baptized in the name of Jesus shall be saved (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38).

So, how can you make a fresh start? Romans 10:9 says that “If thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shall be saved.” It’s as easy as saying, “Jesus, I’m turning my life over to you. From this day forward I’m yours.” What better time to turn your life around than right Now?

I declare in the name of Jesus, that you will dwell in the secret place of the Most High God and remain secure under the protection of the Almighty God. The Lord is your only hope of refuge and fortress, in Him you can always confidently trust. He will deliver you from the hidden traps of the enemy, and from deadly pandemic. Yes, He will cover you with His presence that you can trust with your faithfulness as a shield of protection.

You’ll not be afraid of devastating news of evil plots and slanders of the wicked that soars in the day, nor of the disease that lingers In darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday. Many thousands may fall at your side, and tens of thousands at your right hand, but it shall not enter your home. You’ll see and hear of this on the news, the reward of the wicked.

When you make the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, there, shall no evil fall upon you, nor any plague or calamity come near your house, because God will give His angels special orders to protect and prosper you in all your ways of obedience and service; thus keeping you safe from injury. You may encounter deadly beasts and serpents but you’ll overcome and have a victorious testimony of deliverance because you know His name.

Therefore, trust and rely on God continually, that you’ll experience His mercy, love and kindness, because He promise never to forsake you as often as you call on Him for help. He will be with you in trouble, He will deliver and honor you and show you His salvation. Amen

Today is the beginning of your new life. Today is the time to leave behind your mistakes and learn from them. Today is the beginning of a wonderful future full of satisfaction. You just have to decide to make the change and experience God's best.
