Deliverance From

I asked Holy Spirit what I should blog today and I heard, "deliverance." Jesus came to deliver us from the hands of Satan, his lies and everything he represents. Many Christians believe that we are supposed to be sick, that we are suppose to struggle financially, that we are supposed to live a life of mediocrity. That is so far from the Truth of God's word. Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, provided finances in the mouth of the fish to pay taxes, called business men to be his disciples. In all of these examples, I can see nothing that supports the lies of the devil that he has fed to the church. Then, here is the part that I don't understand. If Christians are supposed to be sick, poor and destitute then why do we work O.T. on jobs, or work two or more jobs? Why do we go to the doctor to get well if being sick is the only alternative? Somehow this seems to be a contradiction. The bible says in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life." Acts 10:38 "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and power: who went about doing good and healing all those who were oppressed of the devil for God was with him." What does this mean? Was everything Jesus did just for the people of that time he was on earth? Why would God put Jesus through everything he had to suffer for just that generation of people? I am not understanding why the Body of Christ thinks that Jesus wants his body sick and poor and oppressed of the devil. Jesus is the head if the body. A prosperous head and a destitute body does not paint a good picture of the lovery of God. God is love, and he wants us to live here on earth just as he lives in heaven. DELIVERANCE is for all of God's people. Everyone who has confessed Jesus as Lord has a right to everything God provided through Jesus. Not because of any good works we may have done, it is by his grace so no one can boast on themselves. We boast on God, Jesus and Holy Spirit. All it takes is a renewing of our minds from what we have grown up to believe, to what the truth is for us to live by daily. God's word is our instruction book, our key to opening up who we are and what we have available to us at all times. I know that it seems easier to go to the doctor and get the medicine and/or operation instead of praying and standing in faith along with the medicine until you are completely healed so you don't have to take the medicine any more.  I know it is easier to work O.T. or two jobs, invest in the stock market to get the finances instead of God's plan of tithing and sowing. I understand that everybody wants things quick, fast and in a hurry, but faith is a process if you have not been living a life of faith. Start now, it is not too late to make the changes in your life. Please here me out. There is nothing wrong with doctors, surgeons, medicines to help save your life, the stick market, wor king O.T., etc. I am not an extreme Christian who will never see a doctor or take medications. But, what will you do when the doctor doesn't have an answer? What do you do when the medications' side effects are worse than what you started off with in your body? What do you do? What happens when there is no more overtime being offered at your job, or the stock market crashes and your hope was in that money and now it's gone? What do you do? If we use these things in moderation as a secondary plan, it's fine. But, we are to live our lives by faith and allow Holy Spirit to show us what to do first. The just shall live by faith, not by power or might, but by God's Spirit. Your deliverance is near at all times. Yes, there will be challenges to your faith. The devil is not going to sit back and watch you live the abundant life. He wants to kill, steal and destroy, but Jesus came to give us abundant life. John 10:10. Start today and seek God as to how he wants you to live. He gave us his Son Jesus, His Spirit, His Word, authority and power over the works of the enemy. Do not settle, "Arise, shine; for your light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you! Isaiah 60:1
