Life is hard. Every day, we’re faced with challenges—personal struggles, global crises, and the endless noise of a world that seems to be spiraling out of control. It’s overwhelming, isn’t it? In times like these, I’ve realized that the only way to truly live a life of peace, purpose, and wholeness is by going deeper with God.
That’s why I’m stepping back into a journey I began over 30 years ago: deliverance.
What Is Deliverance?
If the word feels heavy or unfamiliar, let me simplify it. Deliverance is about surrendering to God and allowing Him to set you free. It’s about letting go of the burdens, strongholds, and invisible chains that keep you stuck.
Think of it as a deeper level of healing—God’s way of reaching into the dark and broken parts of our lives to bring light, freedom, and restoration. Deliverance isn’t about perfection; it’s about saying, “Lord, I can’t do this on my own. I need You to take over.”
It’s not an easy journey. It requires honesty, humility, and a willingness to confront the things we’d rather ignore. But let me tell you this: it’s worth it.
Why I’m Choosing Deliverance Again
Maybe you’re wondering why someone like me, who experienced deliverance decades ago, would choose to walk this path again. The truth is, life has a way of wearing us down. Even when we think we’re healed, new struggles can arise, and old wounds can resurface.
For me, stepping back into deliverance isn’t about fixing something broken—it’s about going deeper with God. I want more of Him in every area of my life. I want to surrender completely, not just partially.
And let’s be real: in the U.S., we like convenience and ease. We want quick fixes and instant gratification. But deliverance isn’t like that. This is the all-powerful, all-knowing God we’re talking about. A relationship with Him isn’t something we can rush or approach casually.
Choosing deliverance is my way of saying, “Lord, I want to know You more. I want to trust You more. I want to live fully in Your freedom.”
The Struggles We Face
Take a moment to reflect on your own life. What are the things weighing you down?
- Is it fear or anxiety?
- Unresolved pain or trauma?
- Unforgiveness toward yourself or others?
- Patterns of sin or destructive habits you can’t seem to break?
We all have something. And in this world filled with constant pressures and uncertainties, those struggles can feel heavier than ever.
The truth is, we can’t carry these burdens alone. That’s why deliverance is such a gift. It’s not about striving harder or being “good enough.” It’s about surrendering to the One who can lift the weight and set us free.
Going Deeper with God: What It Means
Going deeper with God isn’t just a catchy phrase; it’s a lifestyle. It’s about prioritizing Him above everything else and letting Him transform us from the inside out.
Here’s what going deeper looks like:
- Surrender: Letting go of control and trusting God completely.
- Obedience: Saying “yes” to His will, even when it’s uncomfortable.
- Intimacy: Spending time in His presence and getting to know His heart.
Deliverance is one of the most powerful ways to experience this kind of depth. It’s a way to say, “God, I’m ready for You to move in my life. I’m ready to let go of the things holding me back.”
Why Now?
You might be wondering, “Why now?”
The answer is simple: because the world is hurting, and so are we. Everywhere we look, there’s division, pain, and uncertainty. People are searching for answers, for hope, for something real.
I believe that going deeper with God through deliverance is the key to living a more whole and abundant life. And it’s not just for me—it’s for all of us.
We can’t afford to stay stuck. The time to surrender is now.
What Deliverance Isn’t
Before we go any further, let’s clear up a few misconceptions.
- Deliverance isn’t scary. It’s a beautiful process of healing and freedom.
- Deliverance isn’t just for people who are “really messed up.” We all have areas where we need God’s touch.
- Deliverance isn’t about shame or guilt. It’s about love—God’s love for you and His desire to see you thrive.
How to Start Your Deliverance Journey
If you’re ready to take this step, here’s how to begin:
1. Pray for Guidance
Ask God to prepare your heart and show you the areas where you need His healing.
2. Invite the Holy Spirit
Deliverance is a partnership with the Holy Spirit. He’s the one who does the work; you just need to surrender.
3. Seek Community
Find trusted people—pastors, mentors, or prayer partners—who can walk with you through this process.
4. Stay in the Word
Scripture is your anchor. Meditate on verses like John 8:36 (“So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free”) and Isaiah 61:1 (“He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives”).
5. Be Patient
Deliverance isn’t a one-time event; it’s a journey. Trust God’s timing and His process.
The Freedom That Awaits
Friend, I can’t tell you how much freedom awaits you on the other side of deliverance. It’s like stepping out of a dark, heavy room into the light of day. It’s peace, joy, and wholeness like you’ve never experienced before.
When you surrender to God, He takes what’s broken and makes it whole. He takes your pain and turns it into purpose.
Let’s Walk This Journey Together
You’re not alone in this. I’m here, walking this path with you. And more importantly, God is with you every step of the way.
So, take a deep breath. Lean into His presence. And let Him lead you into the freedom you were always meant to have.
