Authority comes with purity

Today I prayed with some guys that were wanting to be free from the grip of lust and immorality in their lives. At one point in the past, all that I could have done was to sympathize with their stumbling in this area, and to weakly encourage them to try harder to control their desires. But I can humbly (and joyfully) say that though these same chains once bound me for years, God broke them in an instant and now I am experiencing a level of sexual purity that I once thought was simply unattainable. So I was able to pray with these guys with great authority - what a great feeling to command these foul spirits to flee!

A wiser man than I once said that "a crisis that isn't followed up by a process will result in an abcess" - so these guys that were set free today must choose to maintain that freedom if it is to last. Still - what a blast!
