Deliverance Has Come

That day will come. It will. When you can say, "He has done it, the LORD has delivered me!". From your depths of despair. From your state of panic. From your anxiety. It will come. Fear not. That day will come. Deliverance will come. When your sight you have received.


It's when you know the only thing you can do is take hold of everything that Christ is and has done, for you. When you are there. Only there. Does sight come. Does deliverance come. Because you have given up on your own abilities.


And Christ Jesus is all to you. Your salvation and your song. Your deliverance and your sight. Your praise and your worhip. Your breath and your bread. Your all.


Because the LORD, He is faithful. And when all you can do is turn to, run to, and hide in, Him. When you have lost all faith in yourself, and put all faith in Him.


Then, it's true, complete assurance comes. It's true. Because His will is being done, in you. It's your guarantee that complete freedom and for-sure deliverance is yours. You have received your sight. When Christ is all to you.


Even if you feel you are lacking. Knowledge. Understanding. Still you seek Him.


Even if your emotions remain. Unstable. Uncertain. Still you cling to Him.


Even if your circumstances stay. Ugly. Messy. Still you rely on His presence with you.


Even if the turmoil from within you feels. Impossible. Never-ending. Still, Christ remains all to you.


And it is He Who you seek, Who you cling to, Who you know as always present, always loving, always enough. For you. All Jesus.


That's when you can know, the day has come. Your sight has come. He has rescued your soul. Deliverance has come! For you see with your own eyes, and you know within your own heart, that Christ Jesus is all to you.

"..."Lord," he pleaded, "I want to see!" And Jesus said, "All right, you can see! Your faith has healed you." Instantly the man could see and he followed Jesus, praising God. And all who saw it praised God, too." - Luke 18:41-42


"Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him..." - Luke 24:31
