OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL - WEDNESDAY - 11/12/2013 - WAYS OF DELIVERANCE BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

WAYS OF DELIVERANCE

MEMORY VERSE
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name
Philippians 2:9

READ
Isaiah 49:24-26

Isaiah 49:24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?

Isaiah 49:25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

Isaiah 49:26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

MESSAGE
In Acts 19:3-16, demons challenged some charlatan deliverance ministers before pouncing on them. This tells us that even in their fallen state; demons know their rights and try to enforce them as much as possible. They questioned the authority of the deliverance ministers. If your authority is not rooted in Christ, and you go to dare demons, be prepared for a showdown. A boy attended one programme somewhere and got loaded with demons to the extent he could not sit or walk. He was brought to our church and he told us the story after which I asked him to kneel down so we can pray. 'I cannot kneel down' was his reply. 'I command you to kneel down', I insisted. Then be asked me 'In whose name?' so I said 'In the name of Jesus' and he said 'That one is different' and he knelt down. After prayer, I asked him to rise up and go home but he said he cannot walk. So again I said, 'I command you to walk' and he asked, 'In whose name?' I said 'In the name of Jesus' and he replied 'That one is different' and he began to walk and was made totally free. In whose name are you going to be free? It is not in the name of the deliverance minister but in the name of Jesus Christ.

Moreover, how does God execute deliverance? It could be through one of His bona fide servants like Paul in Acts 16:16-18. Here, Paul simply commanded the girl to be free and she was free. When you find somebody conducting deliverance that lasts a whole night, something is wrong somewhere. Also, when the enemies are many, God can turn them against one another. But in a situation where you are a lawful captive – you went to the enemy's camp on your own to join them, but now you have received Christ and want to come out, if they refuse to let you go, Isaiah 49:24-26 says, God will allow them to feed on their own flesh and be drunk in their own blood. As a servant of God, how have you been conducting deliverance? Are forces of darkness holding you hostage? The Lord will deliver you today. I command every power holding you contrary to God's will to release you now!

ACTION POINT

What is that mountain that is proving to be difficult? Come against it by the name of Jesus
