Understanding Your Deliverance
Deliverance is a rescue or redemption, and a deliverer is the agent of such a rescue.
Scripture teaches that God’s ultimate goal in history is to rescue people from the
curse of sin, death, satan, and hell. The Old Testament depicts God as delivering
His chosen people from Egyptian slavery, from Babylonian captivity, and from
oppression at the hands of various Palestinian tribes. The word deliverer refer to
God Himself as personal deliverer of His people (II Samuel 22:1-4, and Psalms 18:2-
3) “David spoke to the Lord Yahweh the words of this song in the day that the Lord
Yahweh had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of
Saul. And he said, the Lord Yahweh is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer.
The God of my rock, in Him will I trust; He is my shield and the horn of my salvation,
my high tower, and my refuse, my savior: You save me from violence. I will call on the
Lord Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies”.
God Himself acted as deliverer, uniquely and forcefully in the exodus from Egypt
(Exodus 3:7-8) “And the Lord Yahweh said, I have surely seen the affliction of My
people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters
for I know their sorrows. And I am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the
Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good land and a large, to a land
flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Cananites and the Hitties and the
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites”.
The Bible says “let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from
the hand of the enemy” (Psalms 107:2). Just as God heard the Israelites when they
cried, Psalms 107:6 says “then they cried to the Lord Yahweh in their trouble, and He
delivered them out of their distresses.” Verse 17-20 says “fools because of their
transgression, and because of their iniquities are afflicted. Their soul abhors all
manner of meat, and they draw near to the gates of death. Then they cry to the Lord
Yahweh in their trouble, and He saves them out of their distresses. He sent His word,
and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions”. The Bible tells us how
in Proverbs 11:8-9,21 “the righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked
comes in his stead. A hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through
knowledge shall the just be delivered. Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not
be unpunished, but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered”. Verse 9 is the key,
“with his mouth”, remember that “death and life are in the power of the tongue, and
they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” (Proverbs 18:21). Deliverance is a part of
our covenant rights. Proverbs 28:26 says “he that trusts in his own heart is a fool,
but whoso walks wisely, he shall be delivered”.
To Christians those deliverances foreshadow the coming of Jesus Christ as the
ultimate deliverer (Colossians 1:12-14) “Giving thanks to the Father which has made
us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. Who has delivered
us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear
Son. In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins”.
Jesus quoted a messianic passage (Isaiah 61:1-2) “the Spirit of the Lord God is upon
me, because the Lord Yahweh has anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek,
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and
the opening of the prison to them that are bound. To proclaim the acceptable year of
the Lord Yahweh, and the day of vengeance of our God: to comfort all that mourn”; A
describing His own mission to proclaim release (or deliverance) to the captives (Luke
4:18-21) “the Spirit of the Lord is upon Me because He has anointed Me to preach
the gospel to the poor, He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them
that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And He closed the
book, and He gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them
that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him. And He began to say to them, this
day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears”. Paul confirms this in Romans 11:26-27
“and so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written, there shall come out of Zion the
Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. For this is My covenant to
them when I shall take away their sins”, this he quoted from Isaiah 59:20.
Our redemption was completed at the cross, we have to believe it and then walk in it.
Again I say what the Bible says “let the redeemed of the Lord say so”. Look in
Deuteronomy 28:15-68, verse 61 says “also every sickness, and every plague, which
is not written in the book of the law, them will the Lord Yahweh bring upon you, until
you be destroyed”, this was the cruse of the law, which we have been redeemed
from. When sick tries to come on you, say I am redeemed from sickness, when you
have money problems, say I am redeemed from poverty etc., Galatians 6: 7-9 says
“be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also
reap. For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that sows
to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well
doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not”. Deliverance is ours, Jesus
said “you have not because you ask not”. He said “speak to the mountain”, not about
it.
