INTRODUCTION
Whenever I teach, I like to start with defining key words. I believe by doing so, I put the listener or reader on the same mental wave length as I.
So let’s start with the two key words in the title of the message. We will define recipe as a list of ingredients and instructions for making something, especially a food dish. Also a recipe is a method of doing something or a combination of circumstances likely to bring something about. In medicine a recipe is a prescription for a therapeutic preparation.
Here is an interesting fact; the English word heal in our King James Bible is from the Greek word therapeuo from which we derive the word therapeutic.
Now when it comes to deliverance we’re speaking of rescuing from captivity, hardship, sickness, disease, infirmities or domination in any way or form by evil.
There are four ingredients to this Recipe for Deliverance. They are Spiritual Authority; Holy Spirit Power; Faith in God and Corresponding Actions. Let me define each one, so that we will again be on the same mental wave length, so to speak.
#1 Spiritual Authority: The right to govern and control all that is put under man’s rule by God. This is the authority God gave to man in order to subdue and exercise dominion over the works of His hands. (Ps.8:6, Gen.1:26-28, Heb.2:8)
#2 Holy Spirit Power: Burden removing, yoke destroying, supernatural, miraculous ability given by the Holy Spirit. Power that is limitless, immeasurable and that surpasses great! Power that created all things: Power that sustains all things. Power that was used in raising Jesus from the dead! (Isa.10:27; Eph.1:19-23; Rom.8:11)
#3 Faith in God: Trust and reliance upon the truthfulness of God and His word. Faith is being fully persuaded that God can and will perform what He said. (Heb. 11:1; Rom.4:21; Dan.3:17)
#4 Corresponding Actions: Thoughts, words and deeds that are in agreement with God and His word: thoughts, words and actions that are in line with your faith. (Jas.1:22-25; 2:14, 17, 20, 26)
When these four ingredients are mixed properly the results will always be miracles, healings and deliverances from danger or any evil or work of Satan!
This recipe will produce any kind of deliverance needed, anywhere, anytime! This recipe is the foundation for a fruitful prayer life! This prescription is the key to winning in life.
