« He healed them with His command and saved them from the grave »
17 I will give you back your health and heal your wounds,” says the Lord. “For you are called an outcast— ‘Jerusalemfor whom no one cares.’
18 This is what the Lord says: “When I bring Israel home again from captivity and restore their fortunes, Jerusalem will be rebuilt on its ruins, and the palace reconstructed as before.
19 There will be joy and songs of thanksgiving, and I will multiply my people, not diminish them; I will honor them, not despise them.
20 Their children will prosper as they did long ago. I will establish them as a nation before me, and I will punish anyone who hurts them.
When you read the Word’s mission statement in Luke 4:18-19, you will see that He came to preach deliverance to the captives.
In other words, the Word – Jesus Christ, is the deliverer of captives.
In Mark 5:1-15, God sent the Word to the Gadarenes for just one assignment: to deliver a man that had been possessed by demons.
Wherever God’s word enters, light enters that place too and darkness vanishes. Psalm 119:130 NKJV says
« The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple »
Every form of darkness in your life will vanish as you read the word in this devotional, in Jesus’ name.
In Daniel 5:5-30, when Belshazzar was being consumed by pride, God sent His word as a dream to deliver him from the pride of his heart.
Unfortunately, he did not listen, so he eventually suffered the consequences of pride by being killed that same night.
Many a time, Christians begin to engage in something that can destroy them.
When God decides to save them from that destruction,
He sends the word to them.
- God’s word may come through a sermon, a godly friend, the Bible or even directly from the Holy Spirit.
When that word comes, if the individual is wise, they would desist from whatever God is trying to save them from.
I know numerous people who got a word from God that could have delivered them from their destructions but did not listen and were eventually destroyed.
Don’t let that be your case.
Has the Lord been warning you to desist from a particular sin?
Has He given you some instructions you are yet to heed?
Have you been rejecting the call to surrender your life to Jesus Christ?
Beloved, heeding God’s word brings salvation and disobeying Him leads to destruction.
Choose wisely.
Prayer focus – Father, please send Your word to me for my deliverance now, in Jesus’ name.
