The biblical meaning of deliverance is to release from captivity, slavery, oppression, or any restraint.
Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”
So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving but believing.”
And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
That You May Believe
I spent nineteen years in bondage to mental illness, witchcraft, and spiritual strongholds. I share my story to let people know that you can be delivered from the sins of your ancestors. Many people take for granted dealing in black magic only to find themselves bound and manipulating other people’s lives.
And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book;
We have the power to be delivered from anything that has us bound. God sent Jesus to give His life up to set the captives free. Deliverance is freedom from all infirmities and all ailments, spiritual or physical, that have us bound. My deliverance from the spiritual chains that were holding me back was when I was obedient to God and worshipped God wholeheartedly. His spirit abided in me, and later that night, I prayed, laying hands on my body and declaring my healing. No more chains are holding me. I did not need a pastor, prayer partners, oil, or a woo-doo doctor. All I needed was faith in God that He could heal me, and he did.
This was only the beginning. I was carrying so much hurt and spiritual pain. God allowed me to stop holding the secrets of my childhood that kept me bound.
This spring was a roller coaster ride. I was in and out of the hospital. I fought to get my mind stable. My medicine stopped working, and I truly was not prepared for that. I attempted suicide and almost lost my life, but God. I’m still here through it all. I’m here to tell my readers you can make it through anything. I did the most embarrassing and bizarre things when I was sick mentally, but God brought me through.
Thank God for my mother giving me a relationship with God. She laid the foundation that set me free. I rejoice for my godmother, Ms. Betty Burnett. She always told me that mental illness is a spiritual stronghold and that I can be delivered. I have learned my true healing is learning to manage my illness to the best of my ability and to stop worrying. It only makes me sick and sets me back. To those battling mental illness or addiction, God is the source of my strength. Your source may be different but lean on a solid foundation.
If you want to be free speak life and have faith you can be healed. This is the heart of deliverance. May God set you free from all that troubles you.
