Many times, I have believed that 2021 is the year of DELIVERANCE. Last year, I feel that it was the year of God’s FAVOR. This year I believe it’s the year of Elohim’s teshuah.

Judges 15:18
HEB: עַבְדְּךָ֔ אֶת־ הַתְּשׁוּעָ֥ה הַגְּדֹלָ֖ה הַזֹּ֑את
translation great deliverance by the hand
In December 2020, I answered the call of my God and my Savior. My commitment and my covenant with my Lord led to the DELIVERANCE of my family. All my children are saved. All my children have been delivered. All my children are serving Him in their own lives. Jehovah granted deliverance and salvation to my household because I made a decision to FOLLOW Him to be obedient. I answered His call.
How many times has He called me? How many times did I not answer? My pride always stood in my way because God opposes the PROUD. In 2015, the Lord HUMBLED me and ended my prideful ways. With that change in my heart and my mind, I was able to answer His call.
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
Now that it has six months since I have answered Jesus as he called my name, I see Him CLEARLY as He delivers others. Last night, I watched as one of my youth group members experienced miraculous, amazing moments when God showed up and did what He does: sent His POWER and His GLORY to His her.
1 Chronicles 29:11“Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.”
My 17 year old daughter who the Lord delivered in December has befriended a young woman in ninth grade at her school. Both these young ladies have similar stories: they suffer from mental illness. Neither of the girls has found effective treatment with the medications that they take. As a parent of daughters who have been afflicted with depression and anxiety as young teens, I know the heartbreak of watching my babies suffer. I have seen how bleak and hopeless they are. Without God and His help in conjunction with treatment, my daughters were unable to find peace, comfort, or happiness. So I found myself feeling empathy and compassion for Sophia’s new friend, yet I am cautious.
I never want to make things worse or hurt the ones that I interact with, so I have prayed for Jenna (named changed for her protection), knowing that God knows all her issues and can easily deal with them all. I wanted to support Jenna and give her time to acclimate to our family and to our church. To my enthusiastic surprise, Jenna has stuck it out with us as a family and church family. I have continued to see the Father deliver, protect, and save this young woman. I cannot wait to see what else The Lord has in store for this young lady. She became a NEW BELIEVER on 5/26/21. Praise the Lord and pass the deliverance!! Thank you, Lord.
