The Story Of Deliverance
“Lord…why?” (Ex 5:22 KJV)
The Story of Deliverance is always the same. Yesterday, today, forever, our God is the same Mighty Helper. Your case seems different, your bondage more bitter than any other, your sin or sorrow more hopeless. But: He is able to deliver thee…
Though by sin oppressed, go to Him for rest; Our God is able to deliver thee.
Extremity: “I’ve prayed and believed, but things are getting worse and worse. What about God’s promise to help?” Almost always after you pray the situation looks blacker. But just before dawn it is darkest, and the crisis comes always at the lowest point. Hold on one moment after it is “impossible”–and relief will come. A practical prescription. It works.
“Why does God ask me to wait until the situation is impossible? Why does He wait?” There is a reason. God is never careless. There is more than one reason:
- The enemy and the world must know it is God and recognize His power.
- You must know it is God and give Him praise.
- You must remember for the future and learn to depend on God.
A great emergency means a great deliverance, and a great deliverance means great glory to God. Is it worth waiting for? [Study Ex 5 KJV)
Keep holding on, just one more hour
May bring to thee the promised power;
O Keep holding on, thy Lord doth care-
He’ll not forget to answer prayer.
