"A Discourse Upon The Fifth Of November"
On God As A Deliverer
"The time of the church's depression is the time of God's exaltation. He waits for the extremity to
lift up himself. When paleness is upon the face of his people, when the cedars of Lebanon hang
their heads, when the church's beauty seems a lamentable deformity, and Sharon is like a
wilderness, then will God arise, Isa. 33:9, 10. God never builds up Sion, but he ordains all things
in a method for his appearance in the greatest glory: Ps. 102:16, 'When the Lord shall build up
Sion, he shall appear in his glory,' that is, when the church is destitute,
ver.17."
- MacARTHUR, JOHN F. 1939

"Ours then in the work of evangelism is a work of rescue. We on behalf of God have been sent
out to tell sinners God has a rescue plan. God who is by nature a deliverer, the only deliverer has
a deliverance plan by which He will deliver the sinner from all those things that damn him. In fact,
there may be no better way to understand the power of God's Spirit in the believing sinner's life
than to understand that the Spirit is working a work of deliverance. When we talk about
conversion and when we talk about regeneration, when we talk about new birth, being born
again, new life, transformation...when we talk about these matters of grace we are really talking
about being delivered from certain things. In fact, deliverance, as we shall see in this series,
defines what it means to be a Christian."
