Form being a Seeker, which actually had three parts to it. The next progression is that of Deliverance and this one also has two parts. It is real hard not to interject a word study with the words used in each passage group as there are within each many key words and phrases often over looked by us. That is why when we are truly Redeemed the LORD gives us of His Holy Spirit who is mingled in with our now awakened spirit. It this that is but a mystery and secret hidden by GOD for our leaning and understanding. The beginning of our growth and walk in this dark evil world as we become the Light and Life of His Love as recipients of His Grace in Truth by Faith. This fact and Truth alone makes His Grace much more than being simply unmerited favor. Because as we grow in the true knowledge, we receive more abundance of His Grace. As our spiritual word manna and water as our portion increases.
Deliverance:
Job 5:17-27 "Behold, happy is the man whom GOD corrects: therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty: For HE makes sore, and binds up: HE wounds, and HIS hands make whole. HE shall deliver you in six troubles: yes, in seven there shall no evil touch you. In famine HE shall Redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword. You shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes. At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth. For you shall be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you. You shall know that your tabernacle shall be in peace; and you shall visit your habitation, and shall not sin. You shall know also that your seed shall be great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth. (long life is promised) You shall come to your grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn comes in in his season. Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know it for your good."
Psalm 91:1-4 "He that dwells in the Secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my GOD; in Him will I trust. Surely HE shall deliver from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover with His feathers, and under His wings shalt you trust: His Truth shall be your shield and buckler."
Psalm 116:5-11 "Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yes, our GOD is merciful. The LORD preserves the simple: I was brought low, and He helped me. Return to your rest, O my soul; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: I said in my haste, All men are liars."
Isaiah 46:1-4 "Bel (Babylon) bowed down, Nebo stooped, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaded; they are a burden to the weary beast. They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity. Hearken to ME, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by ME from the belly, which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am HE; and even to hoar (old age with grey) hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."
1Corinthians 10:1-5, 6-13, 14-15 (we are to learn from Israel's many mistakes) "I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our (their) fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; (the manna) And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them GOD was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted (Him) and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world (the end of the Jew only age, as a political-religious institution of sin, leaving the Hebrew remnant to remain, as seen in Daniel, the Law and the prophets) are come. Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall (as the Jewish religious-political system fell). There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say."
2Corinthians 1:2, 3-7, 8-11 "Grace be to you and peace from GOD our Father, and from the LORD, Christ Jesus.
Blessed be GOD, even the Father of our LORD, Christ Jesus, the Father of mercies, and the GOD of all comfort; Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of GOD. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also Abounds by (the revelation of) Christ. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. Our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation. For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in GOD Who raises (quickens) the dead: Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: Whom we trust that HE will yet deliver us; You also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf."
2Timothy 4:16-18 "At my first answer (defense) no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray GOD that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the LORD stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the LORD shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to His heavenly kingdom: to Whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
Hebrews 2:14-18 "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, HE 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. For verily He took not on Himself the nature of angels; but he took on Him the seed of Abraham. (as promised in Genesis 3:15, 4:25, 9:9, 12:7 and 15:5; Hebrews 11:12) Wherefore in all things it behooved Him to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and Faithful High Priest in things pertaining to GOD, to make Reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that HE Himself having suffered being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted."
2Peter 2:4-10 "For GOD spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down into hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah (and his seven others with him) the eighth person, a preacher of Righteousness, (this indicated that he walked with GOD) bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example to those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that he a Righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust to the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous (daring) are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities."
