Kindred,
I really do not understand your so-called friend, who is completely obssessed with power and control.
Real power and control belongs to the Lord; and even the Lord decided against excersing any power and control over all in the Dominion, calling it free will.
It is asinine to think you have power over sins.
You exorcise sin(s) or unholiness, not power over.
People with power and control problems manipulate and sin, in order to gain power and contol.
The problem with this unholy practice is that the sins and distortions of the manipulations causes lost of self control and enslavement to power and sins.
In other words, the consequence is slavery to sins and Satan; having no power over sin and no control over self as it becomes mired in sins.
Also your so-called friend seemed overly familiar with the Art of War and therefore, should know this Sun Tzu quote, “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."
Yet, this friend fails everytime to know thyself and fails to recognize the enemy within that distorts everything throughout.
Have you heard of the expression to win a battle, but lose the war?
You can win a hundred battles, but if you lose yourself to sins then you have lost the war, because you have lost salvation.
In order to truly win, you must not lose yourself and your humanity, and you must follow the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
The Lord granted you free will for a reason.
I suggest you find it.
