Living by the faith of Jesus is yielding to his Lordship and letting the Son of God live in you. Jesus said, I am the light of the world; and in another verse of Scripture, He said that believers are the light of the world, which makes us one with him. By letting him live in us, his light shines and dispels the forces of darkness in our territories. This is how sinners can be delivered whose minds are blinded by Satan.

David was a valiant man: he killed a lion, a bear and Goliath without any sophisticated weapon. He was a prophet, a priest and a king yet the spirit of Jezebel cast him down and he was spiritually wounded. Reading the Psalms, and other records about David in the Bible, you will discover that he was very spiritual and close to God. So why did he fall? He yielded to the temptation presented by the spirit of Jezebel.

God allowed Paul and Silas to be cast into the prison so that He will be glorified there. He wanted the prisoners to hear the message that will set them free from the bondage of sin. Because Jesus was anointed to preach deliverance to the captives, His disciples should do the same. By their prayer and songs of praise, Paul and Silas announced the power of the Almighty God, and every one's bands were loosed.

Since you do not know when your time on earth will expire, "see then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil" - Ephesians 5:15,16. It is only a few people, like one of the thieves on the cross that may have an opportunity to make their ways right with God, just before death. Most people die either accidentally or in their sleep, taken away unexpectedly.

God is omnipotent - He is all-powerful. With God all things are possible and without Him we cannot do anything. There is nothing too hard for Him to do - He saves sinners, heals the sick, delivers the oppressed, raises the dead and sets the captives free. No matter how terrible your situation may be, you can trust Him for the solution. Take your eyes away from men because they cannot help you.
