Deliverance Is Key To Healing And A Changed Life

PSALM 27:1
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:1‬ ‭NKJV‬

Fear is the opposite of faith and is a dark shadow that hovers over us. It finds its way into our hearts and minds and ultimately imprisons us within ourselves.
We have all become victim to fear at one time or another; imprisoned by the fear of rejection, misunderstanding, uncertainty, sickness, or even death.
Today, fear is being driven by the invisible enemy, Satan’s army of unclean spirits and demons (EPHESIANS 6:12).
But their is an answer; we can overcome fear by trusting in the Lord, the light who brings salvation. “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If we want to dispel the dark shadow of fear that hovers over us today, let us remember what the psalm writer says: “The Lord is my light and my salvation.”
Fear and faith are opposites, like hot is the opposite of cold; the more faith, the less fear.
Fear is the route cause of most anxiety/depression; it is the food of depression. Doctors cannot fully defeat depression, but they manage it with pills and counselling.
They say they can control it with pills and counsel. But if it needs controling, surely it is a spirit of fear living within you.
Furthermore, the worse your depression gets, the more pills it takes to manage it. The result is, doors open to addiction spirits and you become dependant to the medication being used, and can even open doors to suicide spirits.
The truth is, the only long-term solution is to take away its authority over your life and drive these devil’s out.
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬
This invisible army will obey because it is subject to all believers (LUKE 10:17).
Depressive spirits cannot exists within you without fear.
Without fear anxiety/depression has no place in your life-no wonder the bible tells us some 365 times, “Do not fear.” That is once every single day.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬
Jesus is the only way to success in this life and the next, therefore put your trust in Him and remove your fears.
He is the truth-He never lies and always keeps His promises, therefore, now my brethren, is the time to ask God to remove your unbelief, get delivered, and stand on His promises (MARK 9: 14-29).
Jesus is our salvation; He is the only way to our Father in heaven.
He wants to be your strength and your shield, your rock, your fortress, and your Salvation. He wants to be your rock in whom you find protection (PSALM 18:2).
Trust Him, and He will help you.
The invisible enemy that looms over Gods people, destroying lives with addictions, stress, poverty, and all kinds of sickness and despair can only operate through your life if you allow them to by believing the lie, and continuing in sin.
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, deliverance is key to healing and a changed life.
Finally my brethren, join together in David’s Psalm; an exuberant declaration of faith.
Your hearts will be filled with joy (PSALM 28:7) and God’s peace will come upon you; His peace that surpasses all understanding and it shall guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7).
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell. Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident. One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.” Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the Lord will take care of me. Teach me Your way, O Lord, And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies. Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence. I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭1‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
