Remnant Rising Ministries International Family... I came across this on my feed this a.m. and had to share it, as it is something Mike and I repeat often, Deliverance is not always a one shot deal for everyone, most often it is layer by layer over a period of time, as our spirit man is readied for it, in our maturation, in our understanding, in our transparency, in our acknowledgement and increased desire to be free....
I just got out of a Spirit-filled counseling session with a client — and through her, Holy Spirit revealed an innocent but subtly dangerous habit that a lot of Christians who are in bo***ge have.
They think that FULL deliverance has to happen all at once — and oftentimes this is possible.
But it’s not the reality for many because God does some of his best work in layers — delivering us piece by piece and little by little from the issues of our hearts and the strongholds on our minds. Because if he ripped everything out of us all at once, we wouldn’t be able to steward our freedom.
That’s what I was explaining to my client.
Her heart was in the right place but she was trying to get ahead of God who wants to begin a new work in her but at HIS OWN PACE — not hers.
He’s not just working to set her free, he wants to teach her how to STAY that way.
He’s not just trying to deliver her, he’s trying to develop her.
Just as he’s doing for many of you all who are desperate for deliverance but underdeveloped to maintain it.
God wants to renew your mind.
God wants to build your discipline.
God wants to educate you on his Word.
God wants to sharpen your discernment.
Because true deliverance is not just God taking something out of you in a moment, but God rebuilding you into someone who no longer returns to what He delivered you from, as “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” — Philippians 1:6.
