For He will deliver the needy when he cries, the poor also, and him who has no helper.

Psalm 72: 12

It would be good if all of us got the knowledge of our rights in Christ. Some people don’t realise that we have to face an enemy wrestling incessantly to drive us away from the perfect plan of salvation. Yet, those who are aware of their rights and put them into action will enjoy the life in abundance reserved for them by our Father; now, those who have already fallen can also make use of that revelation because The Lord does answer and deliver those children who have fallen provided they turn to Him and cry out to Him.

The lack of knowledge of the potentiality all Christians have in Christ cause many to take attitudes as though they had not been accepted in The Body of Christ. Those who are well aware of their rights as members of the divine family effectively live their lives the way Jesus did in His earthly ministry. Therefore, it’s a good idea for you to examine yourself because His lifestyle is exactly the one God planned for all those who are born again. Old things such as sin and suffering must not be part of our lives any longer (II Corinthians 5: 17).

According to The Scriptures we’re supposed to be harmless as doves and wise as serpents (Matthew 10: 16). We mustn’t be foolish – we have to have faith but think wisely – to pretend that our journey here on earth will always be a bed of roses because the devil, our adversary, walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (I Peter 5: 8). Thus, at the least signal of his presence or temptations we must know that it’s up to us to take our position as children recreated in Jesus and give him no room in our lives at all.

Faith cannot be helpful to those who do not put into action their rights in Christ. You’ve been called to serve The Lord by doing His work in The Name of Jesus the same way He would if He was in your place. Living a clean and holy life, a life which pleases God is your duty. On top of that, failing to take your position as a conqueror in all areas signals that you’re still committing huge errors; after all, you’re a living letter (II Corinthians 3: 3) which is to be read by all those who still do not serve The Lord.

If you’re prostrated for falling in any transgression, make use of what this revelation grants you. Nobody should lack anything but the fact of not giving The Lord the attention He deserves causes many to go through hardships. Yet, what God is showing you here is exactly what is missing for you to be able to change your current situation: again, you’ll only have to open up your mouth and cry out to The Lord and, with faith, you can be sure that you’ll be answered!

This promise will be fulfilled on one condition: you have to cry out to The Lord – say a vigorous and decisive prayer. If you don’t say it that way it won’t work; it’s up to you for The Word of God to operate in your favour. Now, for those who have already accepted their defeat and because of that fact think that they are not part of God´s plans, then nothing will be done in their favour.

Those who are going through any suffering – either a physical or emotional pain or something of the sort – will surely be answered provided they cry out to The Lord. So, open up your heart and put into practice the lesson you just learned because you have a right to do so. Don´t hold off your deliverance! Cry out right away and God shall show you the way out of your problem!

In Christ, with love,
