Deliverance is easy in the presence of God!

Deliverance is Easy

Hard things become easy in His presence

"The yoke = wooden beam = “cross”
• The cross brings us into the presence of God where it’s EASY.
• If it's heavy, you’re carrying something you shouldn’t be carrying!
• “Everything is easy in his Presence!”

Deceptive deliverance is when you disciple someone to yourself and not the Holy Spirit. You train people to need you, not to grow in God!

WARNING
When there is confusion, there is witchcraft.

Deliverance needs clarity… It’s really easy!

Sótéria
(so-tay-ree'-ah) = salvation,
welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation, safety.

Somewhere down the line, we have partnered with a lie that God will save us without delivering us!

The same God that saves, delivers!

sṓzō
to save, rescue

God's rescue which delivers believers out of destruction and into His safety.

Deliver out of danger and into safety;
used principally of God rescuing believers from the penalty and power of sin – and into His provisions (safety).

CAUTION
Deliverance may not be what you think!

Freedom vs. deliverance journey
Freedom = Liberty = Not a slave or not under restraint.
Freedom is the state of being free.

Deliverance is the continuous act of being delivered.

Deliverance from Demons & Demonic Activity

Deliverance is a continual result of encountering God.

David was asking for deliverance, and then he committed/submitted to the Holy Spirit!

David prayed the prayer that Jesus is known for.

Jesus became flesh, but His spirit ruled His flesh.

Jesus never submitted to the flesh.

Jesus was born of spirit and became flesh.
We are born of flesh and must be re-born of the spirit.

Deliverance is when your flesh submits to the Holy Spirit!

All the disciples were giving in to the flesh. Jesus resisted the flesh and submitted to the Spirit.

You remain in bondage when your flesh leads you. You experience deliverance when the Holy Spirit leads you!

When David was led by the spirit, he was a giant killer. When he was led by the flesh, he was a husband killer!
