After gaining consciousness of where you are and where you want or should be, the next thing to do is not to rush to start delivering yourself. Instead, first gather strength needed for total deliverance. And no matter which area you’re trusting God for deliverance, prayer should be the first source of strength to run to.
Why? Because only God can reveal to you the lasting strategies that you need to be free, and altar of prayer is where God reveal that strategies to you. You don’t just run to start executing the idea that comes to your mind without subjecting them first before God to know if those strategies are from God or not. This step is very crucial because if you try to deliver yourself without first gathering strength, you will keep struggling to be saved and will eventually be frustrated (Ecc 10:10; Luke 14:28-32). UNTIL YOUR FREEDOM IS SECURED IN THE SPIRIT, EVERY PHYSICAL ATTEMPT IS EFFORT IN FUTILITY.
Isaiah 52:1–2 NKJV says
[1] Awake, awake! PUT ON YOUR STRENGTH, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For the uncircumcised and the unclean Shall No Longer Come To You. [2] shake yourself from the dust, arise; sit down, o Jerusalem! loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!
AS A CHRISTIAN, YOUR STRENGTH IS ON THE ALTAR BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE EVERYTHING YOU NEED – THE STRATEGIES, THE STRENGTH, THE WISDOM, THE DIRECTION AND THE RESOURCES, NEEDED FOR FREEDOM WILL BE DELIVERED TO YOU.
Therefore, before you run to execute that idea, before you run to start running to apply for change of job because you’re not satisfied, first gather strength on the altar of prayer and your freedom is guaranteed!
