\"God<\/a>This week I received a new understanding of a God of deliverance<\/b> through two precious gifts from seemingly opposite directions.\u00a0 These gifts were so powerfully aligned, I knew they were meant for me to share together.\u00a0 The first a prayer, the second a video, the message was clear…<\/h4>\n

God of Deliverance<\/h1>\n
\n

O Great God of Deliverance<\/i>, thank you for rescuing Israel from Pharaoh’s grasp, David from the sword of Goliath, and Daniel from the lion’s den. But O Great Deliverer, thank you most of all for the triumph of Jesus over sin at Calvary and his victory over death at the empty tomb. I long to see you face to face and thank you for my freedom. Until that day, guide me as I use this gift of liberation to serve your children and live for you. In Jesus name I pray.\u00a0 Amen<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Because He is a God of deliverance, we have freedom.<\/h2>\n

Freedom of choice.\u00a0 Freedom to follow Him or not.\u00a0 There are always consequences to our choices, some good and some bad, and often our life path becomes an expression of our longing for freedom, rather than an embrace of the freedom we already have.<\/h4>\n

<\/br><\/h5>\n

Francis Chan<\/a>, one of my favorite speakers, made a video prayer request that I viewed today.\u00a0 In it he expresses the human struggle to understand God through human understanding.\u00a0 I was humbled as I listened to him explain so passionately and eloquently, the importance of reminding ourselves that we cannot understand a God of deliverance<\/u> when we view Him through the lens of our own limitation.<\/h4>\n

I would ask that you watch this video, and then meditate on the prayer above, both for Francis and for yourself, that you might use the gift of freedom you have received\u00a0 from our God of deliverance in a manner that edifies others, and glorifies our Creator.<\/h3>\n

Blessings & Adventure,<\/h4>\n

The choices we make each day may seem insignificant, but each choice brings us closer to life, eternal life<\/a>, or closer to death.\u00a0 As Francis says, “We can’t afford to get this wrong.”\u00a0 Therefore, may our God of deliverance speak to your heart and reveal to you His plan for you, that you may know and make the choices that are life.<\/h3>\n
