When we focus on the idea of deliverance as the fundamental agent for change, it becomes our goal to receive God's counsel. Our salvation is only experienced when that spirit is prevalent in the community. Deliverance is given to us in a future hope, not just as a one-time reception of our being saved. This is one desire. The desire is our view of the doctrines. So we have in us the dwelling of God in His fullness. We grow by deepening this desire, which is experiencing deliverance that distinguishes between the flesh and the spirit. We have not been given a spirit of fear but of a sound mind.A sound mind is one that is able to distinguish between desires that lead to temptation and those that lead to salvation. The Lord prayed that we would not be tempted, but rather delivered from the Evil One. Our desire for salvation is what delivers us from temptation. This desire comes from patriarchal relationships that are passed down from generation to generation. We are now kings of our own realm, and no longer subject to the checks and balances of the system.We are not people who are tied into a society where we get our identity from what others think of us. Instead, we have the kingdom of God living inside of us. To know ourselves is to be in touch with the patriarchal desires and goals that are common in society. God has given us His name- and through the success of the future generation, His name flourishes. We are only successful because we have desires of a king over his kingdom- a motif that is found in a covenant.The success and prosperity of our community is due to the same divine intervention that King David experienced. All our desires become God's desires, and He bestows us with righteous offspring as we experience deliverance. Our spiritual desires cannot be thwarted. We overcome all opposition because we have the power to pronounce God's kingdom authority over our kingdom. We have the cries that come out of the desires of a king that rules a kingdom. We cannot be thwarted.
