Deliverance

Deliverance

One cannot go back and reform the 'old man', and redo what was said and done. But as a

new creation, citizens of heaven, we look at life now from the spiritual realm to the

earthly. Our primary concern is in our relationship with God the Father, nothing else

should matter. As the Father loves the Son, the Son loves the Father. We have been

adopted as sons. As we are in Jesus, the sonship, we are to love as Jesus loves the

Father. Participating and sharing in the triune love, our loving action becomes the means

of our deliverance ( John 15:10 ; John 17:20-24,26 ).

The answer to healing the soul lies here: loving the Father by obeying His commands (

John 14:21 ). Accordingly, unresolved actions of the past are to be dealt with in the

present, and in the spirit of repentance and reconciliation.

Sanctification

Sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit; only He knows the heart and the motives. As

a counselor, our basic function is to lead and encourage the disciple to rely on the bible

as the sole authority and rule for living, and to hear from and to know the Person of the

Holy Spirit ( John 16:13 ). To accomplish this, our aim is to work with the disciple to

establish a standard from which he can work out his salvation.

To this effect, the following guidelines are provided to assist the disciple to work and

abide within a biblical framework.
