Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: (Colossians 1:12-13)
If you’re born again, you’re already delivered from the power of satan, and translated into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. God is not going to deliver you any more than He’s already done.
It amazes me how some children of God move from meetings to meetings in search of deliverance. Such folks will never be delivered because they’re busy looking for something that’s already theirs. You don’t need deliverance from satan. By virtue of the new birth, you’ve been made superior to satan and therefore you are not subject to him and his demons.
Those who have not received Jesus are in need of deliverance, not you that is in Christ. You are the deliverer, you are the saviour in Christ Jesus (Obadiah 1:21).
However, there could be certain young converts who due to ignorance of the Word, could be oppressed by satan. They need the knowledge of God’s Word on how to exercise their authority in Christ and say “No” to satan’s manipulations. It’s only the man or woman that’s ignorant of the Word of God that goes about seeking to be delivered from satanic bondage. When you know the Word for yourself you’ll be able to tell the devil off, and keep him in his place – under your feet.
Prayer:
Precious Father, I thank you for your Word which is my light. I am filled with right knowledge and ignorance is not a part of me, therefore I don’t look for deliverance rather I take my place as a saviour and deliverer, in Jesus Name. Amen!
