The takeaway I received from the video sounds very similar to what I was taught as a child concerning sanctification. I see deliverance as De-Live-er-ance—after God delivers us, there must be a change in how we live. Deliverance is God brings us OUT OF something in order to bring us INTO something. He delivers us from the bondage of Sin and brings us into Newness of life. “...even so we also should walk in newness of life.” — Romans 6:4 (KJV) After Deliverance Comes Discipleship One of the principles that stood out to me is the importance of what happens after a person receives deliverance. The believer must be taught how to walk in the freedom he or she has received. This is where discipleship and discipline become essential. We must be taught how to study the Word of God, how to pray, how to meditate upon His Word, and how to align our lives with what God has said. We cannot properly align ourselves with the Word if we do not know the Word. Therefore, studying the Bible, spending time in prayer, fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit, and seeking to know God personally are vital to spiritual growth. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” — Jeremiah 29:13 (KJV) Yielding the Whole Person to God Following Christ requires more than outward change. It requires a conscious yielding and surrender of ourselves to God. We learn to love Him above ourselves, deny ungodly desires, and submit every part of our lives to His authority. This includes submitting our mind, tongue, ears, eyes, hands, feet, desires, relationships, habits, and decisions to God. God cares about every part of our existence. The Bible addresses how we think, how we speak, where we go, what we listen to, what we do, how we conduct ourselves, and even the company we keep. “Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God...” — Romans 6:13 (KJV) This yielding is not merely religious behavior. It must come from the heart. When our hearts belong to God and our desire is to please Him, obedience is no longer simply a list of rules—it becomes the response of a Heart that loves Him.
