The Lord simply has done so much for us, words cannot
describe.
Psalms 116:1-9
“1I love the LORD, because he hath heard my
voice and my supplications.2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,
therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the
pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.4Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O
LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
yea, our God is merciful.6The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought
low, and he helped me.7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD
hath dealt bountifully with thee.8For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.9I will walk before the LORD in the land of
the living.”
** We are to be thankful everyday, and to make sure that
God gets all the praise and glory. He has done the impossible with all of His
love for us. **
We were delivered by Jesus Christ through His precious
blood.
Deliverance of:
1.
Death
2.
Tears and sorrow
And
3.
Instability
//////////////////////
A. Death
Romans 6:1-7
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in
sin, that grace may abound? 2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to
sin, live any longer therein? 3Know ye not, that so many of us as were
baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism
into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the
Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5For if we have been planted together in the
likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his
resurrection: 6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified
with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we
should not serve sin. 7For he that is dead is freed from sin.”
Romans 6:22-23
“22But now being made free from sin, and become
servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting
life. 23For the wages of sin is death; but the
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
**God has given a free passage of the way out
of darkness and death. He is the key to our salvation and freedom from sin and
death. He is the only way to get to heaven. Many have tried over time and many
still fight to try another way in but it is impossible, and it always goes back
to Jesus. Jesus proved that sin has chained us and leads us to the road of
death and tormentation. But He has given another way out, and that was with the
price of His life. **
B. Tears and Sorrow
Psalms 34:15-18
“The eyes of the LORD are upon the
righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.16The face of the LORD is against them
that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.17The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their
troubles.18The LORD is nigh unto them that are of
a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”
** Jesus knows the sufferings of this world;
He lived among us at one time. But He proved a solution that would gain us
peace without conforming to this wicked world. Through the strength of His
Father in Heaven. He gave a simple life manual for us all the live by. 1.)
Confession of your sins 2.) Allowing the Lord to lead your life
3.) Abide in Him and Obey His commandments
4.) love and forgive your brethren. We
will truly receive the peace that we need by following these commandments. And to start it off, he shows compassion unto
those with the burdens that they have carried for so long (sins, struggles,
life,etc). **
Matthew 11:28-30
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For
my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
** Such wonderful and simple instructions
that lead to a happier life, that gives us hope knowing what we will receive in
the end. **
Luke 16:19-25
“There was a certain rich man, which was
clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus,
which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which
fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22And it came to pass, that the beggar died,
and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and
was buried; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in
torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have
mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water,
and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in
thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but
now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.”
C. Instability
**Without Christ , our ways are unstable and we don’t know where we are
going. We don’t know whether we are coming or going. But Jesus is the light
that we need to be brought out of darkness. He is the one that can give you
hope where you need it the most. **
Ephesians 5:8
“For
ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as
children of light:”
John 8:12
“Then
spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that
followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
**Before
knowing Jesus Christ, our roads were dark and uneasy. We didn’t know if we were
coming or going. Feeling unsafe, unstable and unsure where the road would lead
us. At times, sure you felt you were in control of your life, thinking you are
the boss of what would come ahead. But not knowing satan was directing your
path, leading you to where you would soon be lead to your death in eternal
tormentation. But Jesus stepped right in and offered you something that will
completely change your life. Giving you an ultimatum, that brings stability, joy,
peace, strength and something that no one can give you freely: Salvation- to be
freed from sin and darkness. And given the chance to be in true eternal
paradise in the end. But remember, He gives you a choice, seeing that we have
freewill. Will you make the right decision? As you get up and take Jesus’ hand
you will walk upright on solid ground, and the light will be given to you,
where before you couldn’t see where you were going, now you have clear vision.
Then there are some that think that without Jesus, if they will eventually find
another way, a light to the tunnel. Not knowing that deception will take them
away forever, where you can't turn back, and not receive a second chance. (The
Lord’s return). **
Psalm 119:105
“Thy
word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
**Never step back in the
darkness; never step back where you couldn’t see where you were going. Jesus
was the Word of God made flesh, and the word is a lamp unto our feet, a light
unto our path to lead us where we need to go. In that, we know we are on solid
foundation, safe and grounded in the Lord. The Word of God gives us
understanding in the ways we need to be grounded to live a successful life with
Him. It gives us instructions of what is right and what is wrong. Breaking down
all excuses and giving light to all criticisms of the many in this world.**
Matthew
7:24-27
“Therefore
whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto
a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain descended, and
the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not:
for it was founded upon a rock. 26And every one that heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man,
which built his house upon the sand: 27And the rain descended, and
the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and
great was the fall of it.”
