OF course He can deliver us of every pattern which is not of Him. But there is this getting to know Him through receiving daily Bread. Of course, He could take off every evil thought in your mind, or patterns which lead to dead things-but the thing is to trust His Parenting in terms of when and how. Wisdom is to see the things we struggle with as ways of getting to know and depend on Him. There is this place in between where Paul wrote from–in it is that space of fellowship with His Suffering. In this space also is this trusting His Timing of our deliverances. It is not just about being free-it is also as Peter said about making your faith genuine….so that it is clear that it is all Him doing the work.
