Inordinate Affections
Adultery is a spirit. Lust is a spirit. Both of these would like to destroy God's people.
This fact was made dramatically clear to Brother Cerullo at one of our recent crusades. God showed him how inordinate affections were attacking the minds of God's people. As Brother Cerullo prayed an anointed prayer and broke through in the Spirit, victory came to hundreds of men and women. People were delivered and set free; families were restored.
But what about you? Are you in the tortuous grips of lust, adulterous urges or inordinate affections? If so, then God wants to set you free -now! He is all ready to do His part, but you must do yours. Starting tonight, you must agree to redirect your mind - to set your affections on things above, "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace" (Romans 8:5-6, NKJV).
Don't let these spirits gain entry through weak thinking. Get a grip on yourself; drive ungodly imaginations out. Desire and seek a new life of holiness and peace.
God loves you and wants to answer your prayer. Say this prayer with me:
Heavenly Father, I no longer want to be plagued by thoughts of lust, adultery or inordinate affections which so dishonor You. Help me to stop fantasizing. Give me a new strength to gain control of my mind and imagination. Empower me to break out of any ungodly relationship I may have begun, either in my mind or in my flesh. Forgive me, cleanse me, and give me the grace to stay pure before You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
