DOES A BELIEVER IN CHRIST NEED DELIVERANCE AFTER SALVATION? Pt [2] - Min. Awe Hilary

In the first part of this series, we established that the term deliverance seats on four standpoints, which are;

1. Salvation [rescue].

2. Redemption [to buy back].

3. Preservation [to protect].

4. Restoration [to make whole].

The identification of these pillars would enable us to unravel the answer to the pertinent question as the header suggest. In this second part of the series, we would be talking about redemption and how it applies to the term deliverance.

Redemption is so important that without it there can be no salvation, neither can there be preservation or restoration. It is the legal framework that guarantees freedom in the life of a believer in Christ.

Titus 2:14 [AMP]:

who [willingly] gave Himself [to be crucified] on our behalf to redeem us and purchase our freedom from all wickedness, and to purify for Himself a chosen and very special people to be His own possession, who are enthusiastic for doing what is good.

The freedom a believer in Christ enjoys did not come without a cost, because there was a charge and an outstanding payment that had to be made, before mankind could declare freedom. Death [eternal separation from God] is a debt, and sin is the source of death.

Romans 5:12 [AMP]:

Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death spread to all people [no one being able to stop it or escape its power], because they all sinned.

Moreover, for God not to undermine His integrity by being unjust, a substitutionary sacrifice had to be put in place by God, through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, that through this action, there would be a completeness in the pardon for man's sin.

Ephesians 1:7 [AMP]:

In Him we have redemption [that is, our deliverance and salvation] through His blood, [which paid the penalty for our sin and resulted in] the forgiveness and complete pardon of our sin, in accordance with the riches of His grace

THE IMPLICATION:

1. The blood of Jesus Christ became the currency for the payment of death which mankind owed through sin.

2. Jesus Christ stood as a substituion on your behalf; taking upon Himself the consequences of sin and death that would have befallen you.

3. The blood of Jesus Christ is not just a currency for the payment of sin, but a legal entity that is enforceable and guarantees that no further payment for sin or it's consequences, be demanded for.

However, the believer in Christ has been purchased with the blood of Jesus Christ, and stands redeemed.

THINGS TO NOTE:

1. Sin cannot be taken away by religion, but only through the blood of Jesus Christ.

2. Without the blood of Jesus Christ, a person is still a debtor to sin, and it is lawful for sin to demand for it's wages which is death from such a person.

3. The redeemed should know what they were redeemed from, and by what means they were redeemed.

... TO BE CONTINUED.

Story of how LESTER SUMRALL met with HOWARD CARTER

LESTER Sumrall was a 20th century giant of faith, and worldwide missionary statesman, who demonstrated the power of the gospel in his pastoral and evangelical ministry. He also had a personal relationship with Smith Wigglesworth. And travelled widely with Howard Carter. This, culled from Dr. Sumrall's 'Pioneers of Faith', is the story of how he met Mr. Carter. It was 1932. Brother Lester was 19, and brother Howard was 41: I was sitting in a little church in Tennessee looking at the young man who was leading the music. Suddenly, the scene before me vanished, and I saw thousands of Japanese, Chinese, Lndians, Malaysians, Indonesians, Indians, Africans, Latin Americans, Europeans and people from the ocean islands on one road going one direction ...Trembling and crying, I asked, "What shall I do?" God said, "You have to go to these people." I said, "I don't like those people. I have never seen a Japanese person in my life. I don't know tho...

THE OLD CONVENANT IS A SHADOW OF THE NEW CONVENANT [pt 4] - Min. Awe Hilary

It is an interesting fact to know that 99.99% of most religions practiced today are imitations of either the Mosaic law as given to the Jews by God or idolatry as invented by men through the interface of spiritual entities as a way of worship. Idol worship and the Mosaic law are the oldest well known religious institutions that have existed on the earth. The Mosaic law which is the Old Convenant is a shadow of the New Convenant which could not come into effect as long as the law was still in place. Hebrews 9:8 [AMP]: By this the Holy Spirit signifies that the way into the Holy Place [the true Holy of Holies and the presence of God] has not yet been disclosed as long as the first or outer tabernacle is still standing [that is, as long as the Levitical system of worship remains a recognized institution]. More also, if the Old Convenant is a shadow of the New Convenant, then it signifies that they both have One Spirit [The Spirit of God], same pattern with different realities but one purp...

PRAY AGAINST AN IMMINENT TERRORIST ATTACK IN GERMANY - PROPHET TB JOSHUA

PRAY AGAINST AN IMMINENT TERRORIST ATTACK IN GERMANY - PROPHET TB JOSHUA “Good morning, my viewers all over the world. I want you to join me in praying against an imminent terrorist attack in the nation of Germany, particularly Thursday and throughout this week. I am saying this because I have seen it three to four times in a vision.  I was supposed to mention this during the last Sunday Service, but I thought it was something I could pray for on my own. However, the vision continues repeating. The Government and people of Germany should be vigilant and guard against this. It is very imminent. We are on our knees praying for the nation and people of Germany."
