The Cry That Brings Deliverance

Jonathan recently wrote an article for Presence Pioneer Media called, “The Cry That Brings Deliverance: Part 1”.

Here’s an excerpt:

“…The Cry is one concept: It’s a call for help to God in the midst of suffering injustice, pain, or affliction.  It’s a sound God hears—it provokes a righteous response from Him. 

While the concept is the same, the Bible uses many different words to describe this same reality.

A few examples of words that speak to the Cry are: mourning, desire, lamentation, groan, childbirth metaphor, patient waiting, fasting, suffering, eager expectation, hope, labor, intercession, prayer, humility, help, wait for the Lord, silence, pour out the heart, bitterness.

“The Cry” moves God to intervene: It makes him “hear”, “remember”, “see”, and “know” us.

In God’s economy, the Cry is what moves Him to bring deliverance, glorify His name, and advance His Covenant over time. This in no way contradicts his sovereignty, but rather the two are in agreement!…”
