Dear Christian Believer,
God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ
Our Lord and Savior
Colossians 1:12-13
GIVING thanks unto the Father, which
(or Who) hath made us meet (qualified
us to be) partakers of the inheritance of the
saints in light. (or of the light)
WHO hath DELIVERED us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated (set in another place)
us into the kingdom of HIS dear Son.
GOD has
delivered us from the power of darkness. HE has
delivered us, and continues to deliver
HIS people. In Ephesians 6:12 it speaks of this power
of darkness as, "principalities, ... powers
... the rulers of the darkness of this world, ... spiritual
wickedness on high places." (wickedness
is - evil in nature with a desire to do harm) This
is what GOD has believer us from. The "hath believer"
in
Colossians 1:13 is translated from the
Greek word, "ruomia" which
means ... "to draw or snatch one's self, or to
snatch from danger; to rescue." GOD has snatched
us from principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness
of this world, and from wickedness in high places. That
is what HE HATH DONE and that is the way HE SEES
US. The first usage of the word 'ruomia" is in Matthew
6:13a .."And lead us not into temptation, but deliver
us from evil: ..." Lead us not into
temptation in this verse does not mean to test
of to try, but simply means ..."bring
us not into temptations, but deliver us from evil."
Until people know and realize their deliverance, they
will forever be tricked into believing that the principalities
and dark power of this world has reign over them, and
will live in fear and defeat. GOD said in Genesis 1:28
that the man that HE formed, made, and created was to
be fruitful and increase. That man should subdue the earth
and have dominion over it. Jesus did ...even when he allowed
himself to be arrested, beaten, crucified and die. It
was his choice to carry out GOD'S plan of salvation and
redemption for man. Because of the choice of Jesus Christ
and his complete work man can walk in deliverance. He
can do the works of Jesus Christ and subdue the enemy
and have dominion in times of challenge and adversity.
We are more than conqueror as declared in Romans
8:37.
Luke 1:74-75
THAT HE would grant unto us, that we being DELIEVERED
(ruomia) out of the hand of our enemies might serve
HIM without fear,
IN Holiness and Righteousness before HIM ALL the days
of our life.
We don't need to be afraid
of our enemies, we don't need to live or walk in fear,
because GOD has Delivered us and given the power and authority
to be delivered of EVERY situation and EVERY circumstance
that comes against us. GOD asks us to do but one thing
... BELIEVE! Have the "Faith
of GOD," to move any mountain you face or
will face. Our enemy can only challenge us NOT to believe.
He can only win a few battles when he is able to put fear
into our lives that we allow to take away our believing
or wear us down that we get weary and give up, BUT he
has lost the war and one day he will pay the price for
his disobedience and sin against Almighty GOD. Amidst
the generations of life we have GOD'S deliverance and
we can manifest it over and over again. Paul had is share
of challenges and he knew the believers had their's also.
Paul walked in victory even in the eyes of defeat and
so can we.
II Corinthians 1:7
AND our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as ye
are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also
of the consolation. (the comfort)
FOR we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our
trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed
out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired
even of life:
BUT we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that
we should not trust in ourselves, but in GOD which raiseth
the dead:
WHO DELIEVERED us from so great a death, and doth deliver:
in whom we trust that he will yet DELIVER us;
People we have a GOD that has Delivered
us and continues to deliver us even unto the uttermost.
Continue to TRUST and Believe in HIM, that HE was, is,
and shall be able to deliver us, HE shall perform HIS
Word for us.
