The Overshadowing Personal Deliverance


"I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord." Jeremiah 1:8

God promised Jeremiah that He would deliver him personally - "Thy life will I give unto thee for a prey." That is all God promises His children. Wherever God sends us, He will guard our lives. Our personal property and possessions are a matter of indifference, we have to sit loosely to all those things; if we do not, there will be panic and heartbreak and distress. That is the inwardness of the overshadowing of personal deliverance.

The Sermon on the Mount indicates that when we are on Jesus Christ's errands, there is no time to stand up for ourselves. Jesus says, in effect, Do not be bothered with whether you are being justly dealt with or not. To look for justice is a sign of deflection from devotion to Him. Never look for justice in this world, but never cease to give it. If we look for justice, we will begin to grouse and to indulge in the discontent of self-pity - Why should I be treated like this? If we are devoted to Jesus Christ we have nothing to do with what we meet, whether it is just or unjust. Jesus says - Go steadily on with what I have told you to do and I will guard your life. If you try to guard it yourself, you remove yourself from My deliverance. The most devout among us become atheistic in this connection; we do not believe God, we enthrone common sense and tack the name of God on to it. We do lean to our own understanding, instead of trusting God with all our hearts.

There is an answer to this world of chaos, especially when chaos reigns like today. The Lord gave it to us, and there remains a blessing to those who root it out for their own life, He didn't leave you in the lerch, searching for what to do.

Beloved, you may have lived this only in part, dive in all the way. When our Lord said "do not worry", He meant every word of it, and He meant it in total, not leaving out any aspect you can think of, He is in control. As you do this, you will gather strength and knowledge and see the Lord move, it will encourage you to do it all the more.

I have forgotten that myself. I feel indignation at all the injustices and betrayals that are going on throughout the sovereign nations of this world. It makes me feel like action should be taken when in fact we have hope of eternity.

Thank you for these timely words. When I let injustices become all about me, there leaves no room for Jesus. After all He did say we would have trials and tribulation while here in this world.

I needed to read this today!

[anasazi]

Amen!

Thanking and praising the Good Shepherd!

[rescuedbyChrist]

I learned the lesson on justice the hard way. I wasted a lot of my life in self-pity because I knew I was being treated unjustly by family. I surrendered it all to the Lord. I had to leave my mother and her family behind, but now I can focus on the Lord and not myself. God has fulfilled me and brought me up out of my pit.

[jazzlone]

You have NO idea how baaaad I neeeeded to read this TODAY. I have always had such a problem with worry - but soooo sold out for my Lord. I can have sooooo much faith for others but when I need to trust Him and rely only on Him - I fail miserably. I need to print this out and read it daily. Thanks soooo much!

[Saved Alone by Jesus]

I really enjoyed this....what an inspiration.

[Mountain Girl]

Since I've read this I've had two people call me and tell me about an injustice they've recently experienced, and I emailed this to them. It's liberating to view injustices as battle scars, and to expect them while we're "fighting the good fight of faith".

[cdp4jc]

Very true and powerful words! I have never been able to find the phrase "your rights" in the bible,

[HeIsEnough]

WHEREBY SHALL I KNOW?

"I thank Thee, 0 Father . . . because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes." Matthew 11:25

In spiritual relationship we do not grow step by step; we are either there or we are not. God does not cleanse us more and more from sin, but when we are in the light, walking in the light, we are cleansed from all sin. It is a question of obedience, and instantly the relationship is perfected. Turn away for one second out of obedience, and darkness and death are at work at once.

All God's revelations are sealed until they are opened to us by obedience. You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. The only way you can get to know is to stop trying to find out and by being born again. Obey God in the thing He shows you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. One reads tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit, when one five minutes of drastic obedience would make things as clear as a sunbeam. "I suppose I shall understand these things some day!" You can understand them now. It is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself until you have obeyed what you know already. Beware of becoming "wise and prudent."

http://www.myutmost.org/10/1010.html

Beloved, obedience to 'worrying not' has its own rewards. As the man Jesus walked this earth, He worried not, and He prayed often. Take your concerns to our Father, that He show you what you are to do, and then do it. It is in His hands now, worry not and walk before Him.

[HeIsEnough]

LOOK AGAIN AND THINK

"Take no thought for your life." Matthew 6:25

A warning which needs to be reiterated is that the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things entering in, will choke all that God puts in. We are never free from the recurring tides of this encroachment. If it does not come on the line of clothes and food, it will come on the line of money or lack of money; of friends or lack of friends; or on the line of difficult circumstances. It is one steady encroachment all the time, and unless we allow the Spirit of God to raise up the standard against it, these things will come in like a flood.


"Take no thought for your life." "Be careful about one thing only," says our Lord - "your relationship to Me." Common sense shouts loud and says - "That is absurd, I must consider how I am going to live, I must consider what I am going to eat and drink." Jesus says you must not. Beware of allowing the thought that this statement is made by One Who does not understand our particular circumstances. Jesus Christ knows our circumstances better than we do, and He says we must not think about these things so as to make them the one concern of our life. Whenever there is competition, be sure that you put your relationship to God first.


"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." How much evil has begun to threaten you to-day? What kind of mean little imps have been looking in and saying - Now what are you going to do next month - this summer? "Be anxious for nothing," Jesus says. Look again and think. Keep your mind on the "much more" of your heavenly Father. http://www.myutmost.org/01/0127.html

Brethren, nothing is more important and difficult than the foundation of our lives, our focus, our fret and our very lives must be given to Christ. Remember in those anxious moments, remember the Lord, He is beside you at all times.

[HeIsEnough]

Thank you for your encouragement. Its rare we get it nowadays, so let us encourage each other all the more, as we see the day approaching

HIE: thanks a ton for these words & this study. As I'm sitting here reading & typing, jobless, nursing career potentially over (due to burn-out), bills to pay, money very short, etc. etc., I'm perfectly at peace. And I know this peace is only from my Lord and Savior. Until the next door is open (whether nursing or not), I'm content to sit, read the word, learn, come here, & rejoice that one day quite soon, we will be called home. And on that day, I will finally be able to fall at the feet of my Savior & worship Him forever.

[Cindy S.]

This thread is still a blessing.
I am going to repent from worry and every time I feel anxiety rise up in me, I am committed to
taking it to the Lord in prayer.
I want deliverance from the sin of worry.

[im4Jesus]

It's easy to worry with everything going on in the world and in our own lives. But it's just as easy to accept Jesus' burden, for He tells us His yoke is easy and His burden light. He never gives us more than we can bear, and we can give our troubles to him to carry when they become too much for us to carry. We serve a merciful Lord.

Six months later and this is still a timely message. I really, really needed this today.

I'd be a wealthy woman if I could run a business entitled, "Worrying For Others". I'm a Worldly Worrier when I should be a Biblical Warrior.

Always a timely message!

God’s Assurance

"He Himself has said . . . . So we may boldly say . . ."
—Hebrews 13:5-6

My assurance is to be built upon God’s assurance to me. God says, “I will never leave you,” so that then I “may boldly say, ’The Lord is my helper; I will not fear’ ” (Hebrews 13:5-6). In other words, I will not be obsessed with apprehension. This does not mean that I will not be tempted to fear, but I will remember God’s words of assurance. I will be full of courage, like a child who strives to reach the standard his father has set for him. The faith of many people begins to falter when apprehensions enter their thinking, and they forget the meaning of God’s assurance— they forget to take a deep spiritual breath. The only way to remove the fear from our lives is to listen to God’s assurance to us.

What are you fearing? Whatever it may be, you are not a coward about it— you are determined to face it, yet you still have a feeling of fear. When it seems that there is nothing and no one to help you, say to yourself, “But ’The Lord is my helper’ this very moment, even in my present circumstance.” Are you learning to listen to God before you speak, or are you saying things and then trying to make God’s Word fit what you have said? Take hold of the Father’s assurance, and then say with strong courage, “I will not fear.” It does not matter what evil or wrong may be in our way, because “He Himself has said, ’I will never leave you . . . .’ ”
Human frailty is another thing that gets between God’s words of assurance and our own words and thoughts. When we realize how feeble we are in facing difficulties, the difficulties become like giants, we become like grasshoppers, and God seems to be nonexistent. But remember God’s assurance to us— “I will never. . . forsake you.” Have we learned to sing after hearing God’s keynote? Are we continually filled with enough courage to say, “The Lord is my helper,” or are we yielding to fear?
