Im kind of struggling internally on if I want to perform an exorcism on my self or if I need to reach a state of deeper repentance. Michael made a good point that we must not fear the demons more than god however my concern is that I am not in a deep enough state of repentance for me to really perform my exorcism effectively. I have dealt with lust related addictions for many years and as I’ve gotten closer to god he’s began to show me the sin for what it really is. It doesn’t have the strong hold on me it once did by the grace of god but I want to expel the demon in me once and for all. My lust is my spiritual Achilles heel and I need it gone by any means necessary, yet I don’t want to make it worse.
