Do you remember the disappointments of childhood where all the really fun rides where for older kids. Those silly signs, with smirking characters, publicly pointing out your lack of stature seemed to revel in your unmet hopes. Similarly, the devil feverishly works to point out all your inadequacies. Given the chance, he will convince you that you will never qualify to receive any of God’s benefits and especially not deliverance.
Here we see again the desire of God. He has opened His plan to anyone who wants to meet His prerequisites. It is a faith in God and His abilities, followed by action demonstrated in a call. Simply call upon His name and He’ll deliver you. No height requirements, no tormenting reminders of what you aren’t. No immobilizing abuse about past regrets, failures, or shortcomings. Just call me. Call my name of deliverance; Jesus.
Have you ever felt like the lady in the old Calgon commercials? “Calgon, take me away!” God’s deliverance is far more superior than a soapy bath and definitely longer lasting. What do you find yourself entangled with, mired down in the mud? Are you bound by sin? God is telling you to call and ask for help. Do you have enough humility to ask?
