Confession and Spiritual Liberation

When people go to confession, if they confess the particular sin

that the demon

has a hold on them,

when the priest gives absolution, the legal binding

force of the sin over the individual is

absolved. That's why Christ said, "Whoever's sins you retain, they shall be

retained, and whoever's sins you forgive, they shall be forgiven." So when they go

to confession, what it does is, is that it breaks the legal

bond that the demon has in relationship to the person by the absolution of

the priest. And so we've actually had people liberated

from possession just

by going through, by going to confession and absol-- uh,

giving them absolution.

We've also had cases where it protracts, and we can't seem to get the demon out,

and then eventually you'll get out of a demon, "What is keeping

you here?" And they'll say, "It's this one unconfessed sin over

there." And

so the person's like, "I totally forgot about that." They go to

confession, and

they-- the-- once the priest gives absolution, boom,

then they're freed.
