THOUGHTS OF DELIVERANCE
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7)
“Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
withstand in the evil day”, (Eph. 6:13). Time and space prevent us from
examining all of the armour, but we would mention “the helmet of salvation”.
Here the word salvation could equally be translated as DELIVERANCE. When the
helmet, which is placed on our head, is covering our entire mind with THOUGHTS
OF DELIVERANCE, then we cannot think thoughts of defeat. Would to God that
whatever the situation is, the helmet that protects our thinking, and forbids us
to think anything else, would be thoughts of victory, of His salvation.
We make the point clear, we do not teach, as some, that there is no evil power
or devil. There are those instances of demon possession, and the demons must be
cast out. But our point is our own personal relationships of where we LIVE IN
HIM. We do not have to worship or give allegiance to any other force as in
control of our trial or situation. We are to worship God as in control of all
things that pertain to our life and walk in Him. As we keep our eyes on Him, our
whole body shall be filled with light. Don’t worry about the things that are
filling the atmosphere with the dust of confusion and turmoil. With His helmet
of salvation upon our heads we can “mind the things of the Spirit”, and have a
realm of victory even in the midst of our enemies. Though we watch the
circumstance deteriorate, becoming steadily worse until our flesh would tremble
in fear, we can gain dominion over it, rising to live above it all, when we wear
the helmet of salvation, and allow only the truth of our God’s deliverance to
control our mind.
“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; - yet I
will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord is my
strength.” (Hab. 3:17-19). He gives me thoughts of deliverance!
