Ps.107:2(Amp) tells us, "Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has delivered from the hand of the adversary." Many know this scripture, along with Gal.3:13 which tells us that we've been "Delivered from the Curse of the Law" and "The Blessing is now upon us through Jesus Christ." Do we know what is in this Curse, so`that we know what to stand against?
Just because we've been redeemed, doesn't mean the adversary will not stop his attacks against us. This why we've been instructed by the Lord to "Say so." Satan has no right to take our children into captivity, but we must take a stand on their behalf. We have the Power of the Redemptive Blood of Jesus and the Authority in His Name, in order to stand against the adversary.
We have a Just and Righteous Judge Who sits on the Throne and we have an Advocate or Righteous Lawyer (Jesus) Who will stand in our defense. He is the High Priest of our confession. Do you plead according to your new creation covenant, so that Jesus pleads before your Judge? Or do you plead guilty? The plea is up to us and I want Jesus to be my defense lawyer (or Advocate).
No person in their right mind, would go to court without a defense lawyer who tell us what to plea and make our defense. Our Heavenly Father is the Righteous and Just Judge. He will judge us in the Righteousness of the court of Heaven, by His Own Word. How do you plead? Let us Say so, who have been delivered and found innocent by the Word and the Lamb of God, declaring to the adversary, "You have no right to bring this on us."
Confession is a very important part of our relationship with the Father. The Lord didn't put these things in His Word in order to take up space and fill in chapters. He put them there for us to know and use in our own behalf. Jesus didn't defend Himself when He was taken to trial. If He had, then He would have so perfectly defended Himself, He would have been set free. He would have used God's Word on His behalf. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus delivered Himself to God's will. In the natural, Jesus knew what His fate was. Jesus could have been delivered because He was without sin or contempt of the Law. He remained silent for us.
The adversary knows we've been delivered from his hand, but he wants to know if we know that. He'll use every tool in his toolbox, to try confusing and condemning God's Church, so we fall into his hands. 1Pet.5:8(Amp) says, "Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for the enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring (in fierce hunger), seeking someone to seize upon and devour."
How can he devour those who will say God's Word concerning our Redemption? He has no legal ground to bring to pass anything in our lives that we don't relinquish to his hands? We must know our rights in God's Covenant and the Blood of our Sacrifice Lamb, Jesus. The adversary can't declare his own word on us, but must have us stand in agreement with his accusations in front of the Judge, Who is God. Do you stand on God's Word or do you agree with the adversary?
If Jesus is my Redeemer, then I have every right to stand in the enemy's face and declare my Redemption. The Judge will always find me innocent in His Court in Heaven, by the Blood of Jesus in His Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies. He is Righteous and through Jesus, we are found righteous and just by His Own Righteousness. How do you plead? Guilty or by the Blood? If you're redeemed, then when the adversary comes at you by something under the Curse, then you don't be afraid to say, "No, I'm Redeemed from that by the Blood of Jesus Christ my Savior." Say so.
