The days mentioned in our text
are the days of Purim, the days which the Jewish people celebrate their
deliverance from Haman. While the word days is used, the celebration today
takes place on the 14th day of Adar which is the sixth month on the
Hebrew calendar.
What is your day of
deliverance? Mine is August 14,
1959. On a Friday night while in
revival, God delivered my soul from the enemy.
Because of God’s saving grace, I’ve also been delivered from the wrath
that is to come. I marvel at God’s great
deliverance. Reminds me of something I
read by William Moses Tidwell.
“Brother Mitchel Mason had used
tobacco for many years. He also
drank. He was wonderfully saved and
delivered from the drink habit, but the tobacco craving continued. He became deeply convicted that the use of
tobacco was positively sinful. He had
made efforts to quit, but all in vain.
Finally he went to the Lord and said, “Lord, I am through. Never again, by Thy help, will I touch
it.” The battle was on. He lost strength and had to go to bed. The appetite raged, and the devil tempted;
but he said, “Lord, if I die, I will die clean.” The struggle was fierce; but after about
three days, when much of that time it seemed he would die, suddenly the Lord
came and instantaneously set him free.
He was gloriously delivered.
“That has been about ten
years. He is one of the greatest men in
prayer I have ever known. Often in the
service, as if moved by a mighty impulse of the Holy Ghost, he will rise and
pour forth such a message of power, glory, and fire that it blesses and
electrifies the whole congregation. Yes,
God will give complete deliverance from the desire or give grace to overcome.”
What to
do:
✞Remember the days of your
deliverance.
