Follow These Steps to Be Delivered

• Now we come to what is the center of the whole thing. How to be delivered. This is what all of us need to know. And I’m going to give you a list of simple basic steps. I don’t say you have to follow all these steps, but I’ve observed that these are the things that are relevant. Number one, be humble. OK? Now you’ll see why I say that when I write out number two.
• Be honest. Understand it takes humility to be honest. I tell people: Don’t call your problem by some fancy psychiatric name call it what it really is. Call a spade a spade and not an agricultural implement. If it’s lust, call it lust. If it’s hatred, call it hatred. I say to women, call it by the same name you’d call it in your husband and you’ve got the right name. But that takes humility.
• You won’t face the truth unless you first humble yourself. And remember, the Bible always puts on us the responsibility for humility. It always says ‘humble yourself.’ Don’t pray to God to make you humble because He’ll humiliate you. Then you’ll have to be humble. But it’s your decision. Like this, you see.
• If you are seeking deliverance there may come a moment where you have to choose between two things: Your dignity and your deliverance. Now if dignity is more important to you than deliverance, you know what your problem is? Pride, that’s right. I always think of this doctor’s wife in the state of Alabama. She was a kind of Southern style lady.
