AWAITING!! Watching & Praying

Colossians 1:13  Who has delivered us from the power of darkness,  and has translated us into the Kingdom of His Dear Son:

I want to talk about something that I have heard often over the past few years and that is the message of deliverance.  I've heard it asked and preached,  that one needs to be delivered from something.   Time and time again one will come to the Altar for deliverance over a problem and yet they are still doing the same things.  One must realize and except the fact that you have already been delivered!!  I have heard said so many times that the devil is attacking,  but my Bible says very clearly,  that you keep commiting your sins because of the lusts in your own heart.   James 1:14 says But every man is tempted,  when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.  Drugs,  alcohol, adultery, fornication, "homo-acceptance,"  gossip,  slander,  tale-bearing,  it is all the same.  It is sin in God's Eyes!   Just don't do it!  It is that very simple!!

The answer to your problem is found right here in Colossians 1:21.  It reads,  And you,  who were sometimes alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works,  yet now has He reconciled. vs.22  In the Body of His flesh through death,  to present you Holy and unblamable and unreprovable in His sight:  now here is the KEY and read it very carefully!!   verse 23 If you continue in the Faith grounded and settled,  and be not moved away from the Hope of the Gospel,  which you have heard,  and which was preached to every creature which is under Heaven;

If your Faith is not grounded and anchored in the Finished Work at the Cross on a daily basis,  then you will be moved away!  Every single morning remind yourself of what The Lord Jesus did for you at the Cross and rest assured that The Holy Spirit will enable you to live a Holy and Victorious life!  That is a fact,  that is the Truth!

Remember this,  The Bible clearly says in Col. 2:10  And you are complete in Him,  which is the Head of all principality and power.  A saved man or woman of God is COMPLETE IN CHRIST!!!   Get that through your head and let it sink deep in your heart,  you don't need anything but The Lord Jesus Christ,  He alone makes you complete and whole and DELIVERED!!   When Jesus was nailed to that Cross,  satan lost!  Jesus Christ has delivered us already from the powers of darkness.  One has to be responsible and sensitive enough to the inward work of the Holy Ghost, to not purposely do stupid stuff anymore.  You need to be aware of the warnings of God concerning sin.  The wrath of God will come on the children of disobedience one day. (Col. 3:6)  God cannot abide sin in any form.

My prayer is that this Truth will come from our Pulpits.  Jesus Christ has already delivered us and when one keeps sinning then he's damning his own soul.  Hebrews 10:26 is very clear,  If we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the Truth,  there remains no more Sacrifice for sins,  but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation,  which shall devour the adversaries.

REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL
