Definition: The word 'Deliverance' in the English language comes from Greek, meaning to be freed or liberated. It's often used figuratively to refer to a situation where someone has been denied something that they were expecting. In the context of religious texts and stories, it could mean being freed from spiritual oppression or tyranny. A person may receive deliverance from an oppressive power, such as during a famine or war, or from a demon or evil force. Deliverance can also refer to a situation where someone has been left behind in time or space due to unforeseen circumstances.
