SONGS OF DELIVERANCE

Pastor J. C. O’Hair

Concerning the Lord, the Psalmist said, “Thou army hiding place; Thou shalt preserve me from trouble; Thou shalt compass me about with SONGS OF DELIVERANCE. Selah.”
Surely the three young men in Nebuchadnezzar’s fiery furnace had A SONG OF DELIVERANCE. They defied the idolatrous king, and said, “our God, Whom we serve, is able to deliver us.” (Daniel 3:17).
In the case of Daniel in the lion’s den, it was the idolatrous king who gave forth the message of deliverance; for Darius said to Daniel, “Servant of the living God, is thy God able to deliver thee from the lions?” (Daniel 6:20).
We are told in Romans 11:26 that a Deliverer is coming out of Sion to deliver Israel. That Deliverer is the Lord Jesus Christ. He was born into this world as a King to deliver Israel from the hands of her enemies, (Luke 1:67 to 71). Hear His own words in Luke 4:18, “He hath anointed Me to preach DELIVERANCE to the captives.” God’s own people were slaves under the Gentiles.
But concerning Christ, they said, “we will not have this man to reign over us.” Luke 19:14. To them He said, “ye shall not see Me henceforth till ye shall say, Blessed is He That cometh in the name of the Lord.” (Matthew 23:39). That will be the time when the Deliverer shall come out of Sion and Israel shall be saved. (Romans 11:26).
The first time Israel hated Him without a cause and by wicked hands crucified Him. (John 15:25 - Acts 2:22). But He was DELIVERED according to the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God (Acts 2:23).
Read the wonderful truth in Romans 8:32 and Romans 4:25: “He that spared not His own Son, but DELIVERED HIM UP FOR US ALL, how shall He not with Him freely give us all things?” “Who was DELIVERED FOR OUR OFFENCES, and was raised again for our justification.”
Christ said before His death, “The Son of man must be DELIVERED into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” (Luke 24:7).
Because Christ was DELIVERED up to Calvary’s death Christians are compassed about with SONGS OF DELIVERANCE.
Hear the wonderful truth of Hebrews 2:14 and 15: “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He (Christ) 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.”
Think of being delivered from the fear of death. This is but one of the Christian’s songs of deliverance.
DELIVERED from the wrath to come. (I Thessalonians 1:10). DELIVERED from the power of darkness. (Colossians 1:13). DELIVERED from the present evil age. (Galatians 1:4). DELIVERED from the terrors of the law. (Romans 7:6). DELIVERED from judgment and temptations. (II Peter 2:9). DELIVERED from the body of this death. (Romans 7:24). DELIVERED from the lion’s mouth. (II Timothy 4:17).
We trust in God: “Who DELIVERED us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in Whom we trust that He will yet deliver us.” II Corinthians 1:10.
We can surely say, with Darius: “He delivereth and rescueth, and He worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, Who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.” Daniel 6:27.
A great deliverance is coming to Israel and then to all the human race. “In Jerusalem shall be deliverance.” (Joel 2:32 - Obadiah 17). “The creature shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption.” (Romans 8:21).
