The God of Deliverance

In this week’s edition of Pastoral Letters of Encouragement, my heart’s desire is to offer words from the Lord that brings affirmation and joy to your life. I would like to ask you to take time and read PSALM 107 and let these passages feed your soul. The Psalmist in these words first gives thanks to the Lord “for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever!!”

Our amazing God is the One true God of hope and faith. In the Lord we find rescue from fault and failure and deliverance from sin, sickness and despair. Our prayer list continues to grow at Daniels Chapel with many different circumstances as people reach out to a Holy God in faith and assurance for deliverance to come. In this Psalm we find 4 major points that I ask you to dwell on as you study and meditate on this portion of God’s Word. They are:

·         God delivers His people from weariness to rest. (Verses 4-8)

·         God transitions individuals from darkness to light. (Verses 10-15)

·         God heals people and brings them from sickness to health. (Verses 18-21)

·         God rescues His own from danger to safety. (Verses 23-31)

Whatever you are going through today, I want you to know that God loves you and that He alone is the God of Deliverance. Whatever your prayer to Jesus Christ maybe at this moment I want to remind you that the Lord cares and He is listening. Whatever miracle you are waiting for, God is getting ready to send your blessing for “God is good and His mercy endures forever!!”

In closing, may our attitude be like the Psalmist who proclaimed multiple times in this passage these wonderful words of testimony, “Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!”You are on the brink of greatness!! Your miracle is just around the corner!! Stand firm! Hold on!! Never, ever GIVE UP!!

LET US PRAY:         Dear God, as we Your people call out to You for deliverance, please bring rescue and relief. In gratitude we praise You for who You are and I ask Your blessing and touch to come to every life, home, family and to the entire body of Christ and Daniels Chapel Church. In faith we look to You for the answers to life’s circumstances with a promise: that when Your goodness is revealed that we will faithfully testify and proclaim Your wonderful works to all people. Bless us with a safe and prosperous weekend and prepare our hearts for what You have for us as worshipers and students of Your Word this Sunday at Daniels Chapel Church. Bind us together in harmony, unity and love for the cause of Jesus. Let our attitude be as we gather this weekend as the Psalmist who said, “Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!” (Psalm 100:4)   In Jesus Name, AMEN.

From our staff and families to each of you, WE LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU!!! Blessings for a great day in the Lord!! Praise the Name of Jesus!!! Our God is a God of DELIVERANCE!!!!

In His Service,

Johnny
