The New Creation Needs No
Deliverance
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and
hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son
(Colossians 1:13).
Our opening verse is a present-truth. A verse like
this makes one wonder at folks who though born
again, are still seeking deliverance. The Word says God has
delivered us from the power of darkness, and has transferred
us into the Kingdom of His love-Son. He’s done it already.
You don’t need any deliverance. Even the non-Christian has
been delivered, because the death of Jesus Christ brought
redemption, deliverance to all men, not just those who
become Christians.
Understand who the Christian is: He’s a new creation,
a brand new man; he was never set free from sin or from
Satan, because he was never in servitude to sin or Satan.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says if any man is in Christ, he’s a new
species of being that never existed. Everything about your life,
right from the moment you received Christ, is brand new. You
have a brand new life that’s not subject to the devil, sin and
its consequences.
It just doesn’t add up to think God would give birth to
a new creation that’s subject to Satan! James 1:18 says, “Of
his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should
be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.” We’re literally born
of God; we’re His legal and vital offspring, with power and
authority to cast out devils. We’re one with God; we have
His very life, and are in His class of being! This is who the
Christian really is! He’s been raised together with, and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, far above all
principalities and powers.
If at any time, Satan or any of his demons shows up
around you, cast him out. You have the power and authority
in the Name of Jesus to that effect. Irrespective of the
experiences that you may have had, what you might be going
through now or what you think, God’s Word remains true:
you’re superior to Satan; keep him where he belongs—under
your feet!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for
guiding me in continuous victory!
I reign and rule over the elements
of this world by walking in your
Word, manifesting the power of
the Spirit! I’m seated with Christ
in the heavenly realms, far above
all principalities and powers.
Thank you for your glory in my
life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
