God Is My Deliverer

Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him…—Psalm 91:14a

A promise of deliverance is the first of the seven promises made to the one who loves God. You have to make this promise personal! For instance, I quote it like this: “Because I love You, Lord, I thank You that You have promised to deliver me.”

There are so many days that I personally see without a shadow of doubt that deliverance is needed. From the daily challenges with anxiety and depression that plague my interactions with people to the constant attacks I feel like I am under. This one verse continues to walk me out of this living mental hell: “All who call on the Name of the Lord shall be delivered (Joel 2:32).” Many of you desperately need God’s promise of deliverance. The Word worked for me, and it will work for you.

There are also other types of deliverances. There is the internal and the external. Ask yourself, “From what is He going to deliver me?”

God will deliver us from all of the following:

· Lion problems (life-threatening attacks)

· Young lion problems (constant harassment)

· Cobra problems (sneaky attacks which seem to come out of nowhere)

· Dragon problems (imaginary fears, past fears, vain imaginations)

· Terror by night (evils that come through man—war, terror, violence)

· Arrows that fly by day (enemy assignments sent to wound)

· Pestilence (plagues, deadly diseases, fatal epidemics)

· Destruction (evils over which man has no control)

In other words, God wants to deliver us from every evil known to mankind. What a promise! I thank God that He is the God of deliverance.

Lord, thank You for being my Deliverer and for providing a means of escape from all the threats of violence and harassment, the sneaky problems and evil schemes of the enemy. I am so grateful for Your Word and the authority You have given to me as a believer. In the name of Jesus. Amen

Today Sis, I challenge you to be encouraged and speak victory over your life. As one of my favorite Donald Lawrence songs says “sometimes you have to speak a word over yourself…speak over yourself, encourage yourself in the Lord! You have to remember that life and death lies in the power of the tongue!”

As a young girl in Paige Grove Church, I can remember leading the William Becton song “Be encouraged”! I didn’t yet understand the power of being encouraged in the Lord, but now I see it clearly. You can’t give up! You’ve got this!
