LOOSE HIM AND LET HIM GO:DELIVERANCE CONSCIOUSNESS
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
LOOSE HIM AND LET HIM GO:DELIVERANCE CONSCIOUSNESS
Walking in deliverance mentality.
John 11:44 "And he that was dead
came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound
about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go."
So much detail
was given to the death and resurrection of Lazarus despite the fact that he
wasn’t the only case of miraculous raising from the dead by Jesus Christ during
His earthly ministry ( luke7:11-16). However, Lazarus case was the only one
where Jesus spoke of being the resurrection and the life to the hearing of the
disciples (John11:25).The fact we shall be resurrected after physical death is
profound and it is the core of the Christian faith.
The resurrection power of the risen and
glorified Christ is already at work in the life of believers. It is evident in
the various testimonies of miraculous restoration experienced by believers the
world over. This is part of the benefits of the newness of life inherent in
practicing the Christ-like life through faith.
Like the death and resurrection
of Lazarus, the spiritual rebirth did not include our emotions and physical
bodies. Therefore, we carry along the old ways of doing things into the new
life in Christ and they obstruct our growth and the manifestations of our
potentials just like Lazarus’ ‘grave clothes’. The ‘grave clothes’-mentality
must be removed for us to enjoy the full benefits of the resurrected life in
Christ (Gal 5:16-17). They are habits and attitudes, some of which are
mentioned in Galatians 5: Gal 5:19-21 “When you follow the
desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity,
lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy,
outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness,
wild parties, and other sins like these…. anyone living that sort of life will
not inherit the Kingdom of God.” These habits exist as thoughts .
When we received Christ, we crucified these
habits on the cross with Him and are to daily declare that we are the
righteousness of Christ for the new nature to fully manifest in us by faith.
The qualities of this new nature are mentioned in Gal 5:22-23NLT “.. the Holy Spirit
produces.. in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. …..!” These are the ingredients
needed for a long lasting and sustained manifestation of the deliverance power
of Jesus Christ in our businesses, marriages, finances, relationships and communities.
We achieve this by maintaining positive emotions in the face of negative
circumstances by thinking on things that are lovely, true and of good report. Negative
thoughts beget negative attitudes.
At salvation we experience total
deliverance from all satanic power and are translated into God’s kingdom beyond
the reach of any evil force (colossian1:12).Therefore, there is no such thing
as a born again Christian being possessed by a marine spirit or any other
spirit or being cursed because you ate demonic food in the dream: all food
belongs to Christ( 1Cor.3:21-23).Satan is a liar. Such doctrines are contrary
to scriptures (Luke10:19).Satan can’t dwell in the same body with the Holy
Ghost (1cor10:21). A change of attitude by the Holy Ghost is indispensible to
witness God’s power in our lives. He’ll only change what you ask Him to change
in your life. Receive grace to walk in your deliverance consciousness as you
read this now in Jesus name.
