Excerpt from Biblical Sexuality & The 21st Century
Rev. Jayson L. Graves, M. MFT

                                       God of Redemption                                             

“I think deliverance can certainly happen, like deliverance or maybe you could say an instantaneous healing. …Some people have said that’s happened for them. …By and large that does not happen. I wondered about this, and here’s the conclusion I’ve come to, why that is largely not something that happens… I think it’s a matter of grace and redemption. God is a redemptive God. He doesn’t let us struggle with things for no good reason. He makes good. He uses things for the ultimate purpose of glory and that is to draw all men unto himself. If we keep trying to pursue deliverance and we don’t embrace any potential process that God might have for us, we’re risking the denial of a very important aspect of him that is relational. He wants to walk with us through our trials, and as we walk with him redemptively through whatever process he has for us, people have the opportunity to see that if we let them. Through that glory God can draw people to him.”
