"The LORD looseth the prisoners:" (Psalm 146:7c)"The only way I have of knowing what God can do in the future is by remembering what He's done in the past."Examine the Scriptures and your heart will beat anew with the testimonies of those whose faith in their ever-faithful God wrought freedom from the gutter of guilt to experience that grace from Glory. See Joseph being set free from Pharaoh's prison house by the Mighty Hand of God. Consider the nation of Israel being redeemed after centuries living in bondage in Egypt. Rejoice with Manasseh, who later turned to God, and the weeping prophet Jeremiah, who lovingly trusted God, both experiencing freedom's joy. Oh, the list of names is a long one of the many others that the Scriptures recorded for our learning.Even as we leaf through the pages of the New Testament, we happen upon a prayer meeting being held for Peter's release and what a night of delivery that was! The miracles the Apostle Paul witnessed in the Book of Acts and the epistles are surely worthy of our study. The miracles that our Lord performed in the 4 Gospels, and others not even recorded which were too numerous to mention. Yes, Jesus Christ went about doing good to the multitudes.Folks, our Great Deliverer has done it before, and He is well able do it again! Over the past centuries, the Lord's promises have broken those former chains of condemnation and snapped the fetters of filthiness which handcuffed and imprisoned many. Yes, Our God is in the Delivery Business. He delivered in the past, He is delivering in the present, and He will continue to deliver in the future. Paul wrote, "Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;" (2 Corinthians 1:10)This very hour, America and other Countries around the World, are being held captive. Multitudes are sloshing around in that constant and increasing stream of sin's stench that has been flowing thru their streets for a good number of years. The need, the need indeed is deliverance. Even as the curtain of time is drawing to a close, the Lord Jesus longs to deliver countless prisoners today who are bound by habits, hopelessness, and in Hell's grip.No one, in and of themselves, has the strength to open the iron fist of the wicked one to free themselves. Only the Almighty Power of God can liberate any and all from the devil's dirty dungeon of defilement. He and He alone is the Beloved Emancipator of the oppressed who live in sin as slaves to Satan.Friends, what a marvelous Message you and I have in these earthen vessels, where we temporarily reside for a brief number of years, to proclaim to an innumerable company of eternal souls whose hurting hearts long to hear that Good News of Pardon which we have experienced, "The Lord looseth the prisoners."
