FREEDOM FROM SINFUL THOUGHTS - T H E W I L Lcoming evil <strong>thoughts</strong> by means of our own will power,and we will humbly admit that we cannot cleanse ourhearts in our own strength.Again, as long as we try to conquer evil by sheer willpower, evil will get the better of us. To quote Baudouin’scolleague Emil Coué, “when the will and the imaginationare at war, the imagination gains the upper handwithout exception.” Yet as soon as we give ear to thatinnermost longing of heart that cries out for Jesus, theevil in us will retreat. And if we trust in this deeper willand pray, “Not my will, but your will, Jesus: your purityis greater than my impurity; your generosity will overcomemy envy; your love will triumph over my hatred,”it will gradually subside altogether.We must believe: Jesus really is faithful to us, eventhough we are unfaithful, and he is not a distant Saviorwho reaches down <strong>from</strong> above, but a man who, as Paulwrites, died on the cross “in human weakness,” and nowlives “by the power of God:”We, too, are weak as He was; but sharing this with Him, weshall be filled with life by the power of God, and you shallexperience that!See to it that you are living the life of faith; put yourselvesto the test! Or do you not notice that Jesus Christ lives in you?You would otherwise not be genuine in your faith. That weare genuine and have been equal to the test, I hope you will15

We are not concerned that we ourselves arevindicated, but that you do what is right, even if we shouldseem to be discredited. For we have no power to act againstthe truth, but only for it. We indeed rejoice if we are weakand you are strong. And my whole prayer to God is that youallow yourselves to be put back on the right road (2 Cor. 13:4–9).16
