D for Deliverance

UV 697/10,000 D for Deliverance “He gives great deliverance to His king, and shows lovingkindness to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.” Psalm 18 v 50 Every believer is a king in the sight of God even as Jesus is hailed as the King of kings or King of the saints. The Lord promises not an ordinary deliverance but a great deliverance to His kings as we rule over the spirit world in His holy and all- powerful Name. The invoking of His Name in any earthly situation that we face or before any threat or danger that we face will set in motion the armies of Heaven on our behalf. Indeed, greater is He that is with us than they that are with them. We are by virtue of our faith the spiritual seed of both David and Jesus. God will do in our lives the exploits of David- we will fight a giant like Goliath in the spiritual realm and be given extraordinary victory. Our prayer is the sling of deliverance and the promises of God the deadly munition that delivers us from defeat, from sorrow, from tragedy, from misery, from shame, guilt and inadequacy. The Lord God has anointed us with the Holy Spirit as kings even as David and Jesus were anointed to prepare them for the battles ahead. We declare that His lovingkindness or His care and concern are better than life or in other words we regard a love relationship with our Lord as far better than life itself. He will reward us with the spiritual riches of Heaven. Therefore, we must be jubilant and dance and worship the Lord as David danced. David was a warrior in all the years of his public life, beginning with the killing of Goliath. But, the Lord has declared us in Christ to be greater than warriors or more than any conqueror. It is a pact He has made with us and our descendants for all of time and all of eternity. He will wrest victory for us against all impossible odds. He will establish us as winners even without us moving a little finger. We do not rely on our strength ,prowess ,talent, power , position, resources or influence but we depend on the Lord for our strength. He is our strength from within and our help from without. We call upon the Lord in our times of trouble and He will save us in a marvelous way. He will save us from death and ungodliness. He will draw us from many waters or protect us from a variety of threats, risks and dangers. He will deliver us from those who hate us. He will deliver us from the strong enemy. He will rescue us from natural and man-made calamities. He will lift us above those who rise against us. He will reward us with the spoils of victory: that which once belonged to them will be given over to us. We need to be righteous and blameless before His eyes. Our hands and our conscience need to be clean. The joy of salvation is compared with that of a farmer on seeing His ripened harvest or the fruit of his labour, the joy of a military conqueror on seeing the treasures and spoils of a hard-won victory. God does not promise that the struggle will be easy even as He guarantees the certainty as we hold onto our faith. In all my struggles and triumphs over the past three decades, I have found the Lord true to this Word. Once He confirmed, “ You have fought and won against 31 kings.” Prateep V Philip Watch this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxLfj_xS72I
