4. Do you believe you have responsibility in that war regarding your kids’ eternity?

How does one get in a position to pray with authority? – By becoming blameless and pure by confession and repentance of sin. You can do it in a single moment and be free to pray with authority.
1. Take responsibility (for your sins and the darkness that torments others)
2. Take authority (over the sin influencers in your life and in the lives of others)
