Essence of TRUE Deliverance!!!

For many years we have been conditioned in our thinking that deliverance equals to perfection and that without perfection than deliverance hasn't been achieved. So because of this we have caused many of believers to fall by the waste side and live in condemnation. My friends we have erred in our thinking. I know that the transparency in this post may not be good for my public image but I do know that it is needed for my spiritual growth and my image in the eyes of God who is my one and only critic. As I lay in my bed this afternoon sobbing and soaking in my guilt from falling back into sexual sin I began to question my deliverance. I began to question my ability to win this battle and survive the upcoming war. But God, so faithful as HE has always been, allowed the Holy Spirit to speak to my innermost being,  pass my own thought process. He began to reveal to me the true meaning of deliverance and what I needed to do to continually walk in that deliverance. True deliverance is the ability to not be overtaken or submit to the sin that desires to control your life be it in act, thought or deed. Deliverance doesn't mean no temptation will come but it simply means that the sin that so easily besets you has no more power or control over you. God has blessed you with the ability to fight and fight victoriously. So my next question was: if that is the case then why have I found myself back into the sin that I once was victorious over. And the story of David came to my spirit that completely blessed me. When David fought Goliath he had the power to defeat Goliath before he entered into the battle, before he approached and stood his ground against his giant, God had already given and equipped him with the power and ability he needed to be victorious so when he got ready to fight Goliath he was victorious because he used his God given power with his God given resources and the combination of the two brought forth his deliverance from the hand of the uncircumcised giant. Let me make this plan. David had the strength and endurance to win a fight when he was still a shepherd's boy. That's how he slew the lion. He had the resources because he already had his stones when he was still as shepherds boy. So when he entered into the fight with his Giant he didn't come with perfection, he didn't come with deliverance he came with his resources that God had already equipped him with. So God began to show me that at the point of salvation He already equipped me with the resources and power needed to conquer my giant. All I have to do is make sure I bring my weapons with me. My falling short was a direct effect of me leaving my weapon which is the word of God at home when I should have brought it to the fight. See when Jesus healed, helped and set the captives free, he always said GO AND SIN NO MORE....Which implies that the power of deliverance resides in the person being delivered. And if this is so then deliverance isn't a single act or moment of conversion, its a lifestyle of decision making, its a lifestyle of utilizing all of your God given resources and becoming victorious when your giant is presented. God knew and knows you will be faced with your Goliath, that's why he put the urge in your spirit to get in His presence more, that's why you have been feeling more and more convicted about not reading your bible and not intensifying your prayer life. God knows and knew your giant was coming. God isn't a God who reacts to adversary, He is a God of pro-activity. The time is over in seeking deliverance because deliverance has already found you, now is the time to be proactive and tap into the power and authority that God has given you while you were still a Shepard's boy so we can all do just as David did and that's slay our Goliath. I speak no more defeats, I speak unlimited victories over your life. Right now as I type I see in the spirit a vision of your and my goliath laying on the ground dead with blood oozing from a head wound inflicted by the stone thrown from your and my hand. Let me make this plan...blood is the symbol of life, the head is the center of control and Goliath is your sin, your thorn, your situation and the stone is the word of God, your praise, your worship, your choices..so the oozing of blood out of the head symbolizes the life being drained out of your sin and its control over you has been broken.....I don't know about you but I feel a praise of victory in my spirit so I leave you with the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that is Go and sin no More!!!!!
