Delivered from every … blah blah blah. Don’t forget that Christ actually died.  Remember he gave up his life and made it look like evil men were committing homicide.  Not one of the people standing on the power of faith rock have changed a lock of their own hair, or their spouse’s.  All of the people who believe that demons are making people sick and that exorcisms solve all human problems should remember that all our voices from our own hearts, and you guessed it, there is no miracle for fixing the human heart. 

God did not deliver Peter from denying that he was a companion of the Nazarene.  God did not deliver James from Herod’s sword, and the church must have been praying. God did not deliver Lazarus from his sickness. 

The face of victory

I dare to say what many Christian leaders are full of using an acronym, ALOHA, or bodily function four letter words, and sleep with a clear conscience, because the most iconic and inspiring victory is the cross, which is most certainly not a lot of hot air.   People who have failed to recognize that the writings of the Messianic revelation are purposefully posted in a different language from the materials of Mosaic Judaism are forgetting to use the shovel when they regurgitate Moses’s, the prophets, the sages and the patriarchs.  God.  If death is the epitome of the inevitable and necessary why are pastors trying to fix believers’ problems and not their own, and selling a narrow slice of  miracles of healing and not the inoculation against the second death.  You have to wonder how many miracle victories are in fact defiance of divine instruction and equipping in righteousness and endurance.  Let’s face it:  the miracle worker, the exorcist and the prophet are quite likely to be unrelated to the Lord Yeshua.  In any case, what is a victory without a defeat, a disappointment, or a disability?
