Delivered from the power of Darkness

No matter how black your blackness

NO matter how deep your darkness

NO matter how black and deep your pit is

According to Colossians 1:13

God had delivered you from the power of darkness and translated you into the kingdom of his Son Jesus Christ!

1. You have obtained an inheritance, Colossians 1:12, which includes resources to help you defeat your enemies!

2. Jesus came to earth to destroy the works of the devil, 1 John 3:8. Also see, John 12:28-32

3. Jesus paid for our redemption in full on the cross. All his suffering on the way to cross, at the cross, and on the cross was designed by God for us! See Isaiah 53:10.

His suffering in hell was for us. This is why Jesus could say, “I have the keys of death and hell.” Revelation 1:18

Jesus went into the blackness and the deepest part of hell and conquered the devil, Ephesians 4:8-10!

There is no place where Jesus isn’t Lord and master! He fills all things!

Jesus tasted death for all people, Hebrews 2:9

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14-15

4. Jesus is the light of the world. Those who follow him shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life, John 8:12

5. Light shines into darkness, and darkness can not put it out! John 1:1-5

Truth

The power of darkness is in its ability to deceive you out of something. To take by convincing you that you have no power, no authority, no rights, and no choice!

God calls us out of darkness into his marvelous light, 1 Peter 2:9

We have obtained an inheritance.  Inheritance is “substance” that has been willed to us by God. This includes resources that will help you defeat your enemies!

King David’s testimony of deliverance

Psalms 40:1-5

– God brought him up from a horrible noisy pit and miry clay, set his feet on a rock. Put a new sung in his heart

-How to walk, live, and abide in the light: Read John 12:35-36,

“While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light…”

Exercise

Confess:

I am born again, child of God. I am blood brought and blood washed. I have been delivered from the power of darkness. I am in the kingdom of God’s dear Son. Darkness, I renounce you in the mighty name of Jesus. I take my deliverance by faith!

Revelation 1:5-6, Blood washed

Revelation 5:9, Redeemed by the Blood

Revelation 12:11, Victorious by the Blood

Grace & peace!
