[MUSIC PLAYING]

We'll take some time to answer the e-mail questions you've

sent in.

And Pat, this first one is from a viewer who says, "Dear Pat,

I consider myself a great leader,

and I practice my faith all the time.

But I feel like a hypocrite because I've

backslidden into pornography numerous times.

How can I recover?

And what should I do to get rid of this damaging addiction?

I feel like a fallen leader.

Please help."

I don't know what you're a leader of but this whole matter

of porn-- You say I have been addicted to eating,

and I had a piece of chocolate cake.

And then a month later, I had another piece of chocolate

cake, and I feel guilty.

Well, that's an appetite.

Sex is an appetite.

And so the porn people have done everything

they can to stimulate that appetite

to make it look appealing, just like the people who

bake the chocolate cake have done everything

they can to make it look delicious, and you want it.

So you have to succumb to a temptation.

How do you get free of it?

Job said I have made a covenant with mine eyes

not to look upon a maid.

Men are stimulated visual.

And so if you look, you got magazines, you got pictures,

you got internet, you got all this stuff.

It's all there.

So you have to make a covenant to say

I'm not going to watch it.

And if you do-- what you need to do is ask God's forgiveness.

And He will forgive you because he understands

that you were made out of dust.

And you have appetites.

He put the appetites there, but they

are to be used to normally, like eating is normal.

Quenching thirst is normal.

Sexual activity in marriage is normal.

So he's put that in there.

So the misuse of it is something that we feel guilty about.

But just remember that when we go to heaven

and have a new body, we won't be plagued

with gluttony or sexual addiction or any of that stuff.

It'll all be gone.

So what we have to concentrate on

is the way we live right now.

This is Anna who says, "How is it

that your prayers for healing are responded

to so rapidly and with such specificity as you

receive a word of knowledge?

I believe God can do anything, but what

you do seems more than just prayer by two or more

being gathered in His name.

Well if you read the Bible, one of the anointing gifts

or enablements of the Holy Spirit

is what was called the word of knowledge.

And the Lord speaks his word, and he

says there's somebody in the audience who's

got a broken leg, and I'm hearing it.

So I'm not asking Him to heal the leg,

I'm declaring what he's done.

And that's what happens instantly

because God's already doing it.

And as you gather two or more, he is in the midst,

and He's doing miracles.
