A Note to the Reader

The main title of this book is called Perilous Times Will Come. For those familiar with the Bible, the title is a phrase taken directly from the New King James Version Bible. More Specifically, it was taken from the beginning of 2 Timothy 3, verse 1: But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. In writing this book on deliverance, I thought about how most people will live during the last days: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power (2 Timothy 3:2—4, NKJV). Paul doesn’t paint a pretty picture: perilous times and perilous men. However, Paul was referring to unbelievers during the last days. As for us believers*, Paul warns us not to mingle with them: And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 3:5—7, NKJV).

*Note: If you are not a believer of the Bible, please read the section, A Prayer for Salvation, at the end of this book after you have read the rest of it.

Paul goes on to say that after all the suffering and persecution he’s been through, God has delivered him. "But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me (2 Timothy 3:10—11, NKJV) Ah! This is the deliverance" part. Despite everything going around Paul, God was able to deliver  Paul from Paul’s troubles. Paul then advises us, who are born again Christians, Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived (v. 12—13, NKJV).  As Paul says, we "must continue in the things which [we] have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom [we] have learned them" (v. 14, NKJV) because "[a]ll Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work" (v.16—17, NKJV).

And that’s where this book comes in: This book is an inspirational teaching on how to be delivered from our troubles, despite the perilous times and perilous world we are living in. Hopefully, you, my dear Reader, will come away from this book inspired and uplifted after reading it. And I suggest reading it again and again for more inspiration. I know I’ve been inspired while writing it, and I know you will, too.

May God bless you as you read it,

What is Deliverance?

We all have problems or troubles in life. We have troubles in our finances, health, relationships, and family. All these troubles can be traced back to a common root source or cause: habitual sin. Sin is what causes us to buy unnecessary things, eat more (or less) than we should,
