The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

            inviolable to all but almighty God Himself. Such is
            the  stature  of  man's  dignity.  We  are  spiritual  as
            well as physical; we are free; God forbids that any
            created force tampers with our intellect and will.
            Therefore,  our  thoughts,  our  deliberate  desires,
            and our various loves are our own; for them, we
            ourselves must take full credit or full blame.
                    The    angels   can    suggest    through
            imagination  and  memory,  they  can  coax,  entice,
            threaten, or frighten through these avenues of our
            sense-nature, but cannot know what I am thinking
            at any one time.
                    When it comes to expelling demons, this is
            good to know. It has given me great security when
            dealing  with  demonised  people  because  the
            demon will always throw bad memories of sin to
            distract  and  bring  you  under  condemnation  so
            that  you  lose  confidence  and  weaken  your
            position.
                    In  this  case,  it  is  also  good  to  remember
            that  any  sin  confessed  is  a  sin  forgiven,  and  so
            God does not  remember them much less remind
            you  of  them.  It  is  also  important  to  remain
            unshaken  when  faced  with  evil  spirits,  and  so,
            knowing they do not know what you are going to
            do  next  is  a  great  help.  This  indicates  that  we
            should  guard  our  speech  for  that  will  betray  us
            every time.
                    In one situation in Mexico City a few years
            ago, I had just left the podium after preaching on
                                                  158 | P a g e
