The Redeemed Say So
Psalm 107:1,2
O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has delivered from the hand of the adversary.
We are the redeemed of the Lord. We are the ones who have been set free. Freedom is ours. We are free from slavery. We have become sons and daughters of God. WE ARE FREE!
What are we free from? We are free from the curse of the law of sin and death; that means we are free from sin, sickness and disease, poverty, lack, want, disappointment and discouragement ruling our lives, cares and anxieties dogging our tracks. We are free.
I can hear your wheels turning. Doesn’t look like I am free! Who said anything about how it looks. This verse tells us what to say. We are to say: "I am delivered from the hand (the power, the strength) of the adversary (the enemy, the one who is in opposition to me, the one who has enmity in his heart toward me). I give thanks to You, Lord, for You are good, for Your mercy endures forever." That’s what we are to say.
We are not to say how we feel or how things look and what we think is going to happen. We all know that is sometimes EXTREMELY hard to do. What we want to do is tell everyone how bad it is and get someone to listen to us. I have done it so many times. But look at who we are because of Jesus.
We are free from all the negative junk that satan does his best to put on us. We are mightier than he is because of Who is in us. He cannot put anything on you and make it stick. It is like water off a duck’s back. The oil of the Holy Spirit keeps us slippery and nothing satan does can stick to us. That’s truth. What a wonderful God we have! What a loving Father! What a giving brother (Jesus)! He laid down His life so that I could take up His life and truly live the victorious life while I am here on this earth. Earth is getting tough but God is greater. Focus on who you are in Him!
I AM THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD AND I SAY SO!
