Trusting In God’s Deliverance. Part [6] 08/07/2025 (Morning thought)

Matthew 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. 24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

If the preacher or teacher in question were to move forward with that which is inherently good, he may place himself in a compromised position which may require deliverance from God, which The Lord did not originally ordain. And if that turns out to be the case, the preacher could find himself doing battle with satanic agencies whilst deliverance might not be forthcoming as he expected. God is more practical and down to earth than many people realize.

Therefore, in order to avoid such an unfortunate situation, the Christians in our day will need to pray like never before, when evangelizing in certain places or situations. In other words, since fools rush in where angels fear to tread, persons would be well advised to pray first, especially in situations where the preacher might encounter stiff opposition, and where the preacher could become an endangered species.

Acts 20: 7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. 16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost. 22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there.

Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Trusting In God’s Deliverance. Part [5] 08/07/2025 (Evening thought)

Psalms 68:17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

Therefore, there are some important points persons should understand, as it pertains to deliverance, so that when the going gets rough in our day, persons won’t be caught off guard by bitter disappointment, and thereby our faith be severely shaken. [1] Just because something is definitely good, in and of itself, it does not necessarily mean that it is God’s will that you should do it. There are good things, and good activities that may be good to do under normal circumstances.

However, if an unfavorable situation obtains, those same activities should not be done, without God’s direction. We are now living in the new abnormal, and certain good activities that are in the Bible, would need God’s clearance before persons proceed. For instance, even though preaching is good, and is enjoined in the great commission given by Christ to all Christians, certain topics would need approval from God first, before being presented.

And, that is because of the very volatile situation that has now obtained in certain places. So yes, because the Bible says, that “As many as are led by The Spirit of God, they are the sons of God,” preachers would need The Holy Spirit to guide with wisdom and discretion, so as not to inadvertently invite good trouble. In fact, according to what is written in the Scripture, there are times, and there will be times when God will actually forbid persons to preach, or evangelize in areas where the forces of the enemy are so firmly entrenched, that the preaching of the truth might only invite persecution.

Matthew 10: 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not. 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
