In the Way of Escape Battle Plan, there is a little of what some have termed “sweet revenge” [1] being exacted. The very medium that the wicked one has used to weaken the born-again believer’s witness is now being used to set believers free. In most instances, it was the viewing of pornographic videos that led to the addiction. In the Way of Escape Battle Plan, it is again the viewing of videos—but now of the Spirit-anointed kind—that is setting believers free. A freedom observable through three different but corroborating lenses (neurological, biblical, and clinical).
CLINICAL LENSE
The Way of Escape Case Study demonstrates that regular viewing of the Spirit-anointed apps rewires neural pathways, which, in turn, significantly reduces both the number and strength of enemy “incomings.”
These reduced-strength “incomings” occurred only about one-fifth as often, once cleaner neural pathways were established. Given the choice, it is certain that every individual struggling with sins of the flesh would elect to deal with two (2) reduced-strength attacks of the flesh per month, rather than a steady barrage of higher-strength “incomings” at the 5X rate of 10 attacks per month (for the backstory on these numbers, see page 116 of A Way of Escape).

A GAME-CHANGING BOOK HAS ARRIVED
In A Way of Escape, readers learn how to reduce both the number and strength of enemy “incomings.” Readers learn how to step up the degree to which they “walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16). They learn how to build a library of Spirit-anointed, flesh-diffusing apps. Apps that are uniquely fitted to them, and their unique Spirit-filling triggers.
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).
The still-struggling now have another option. The still-struggling now have fresh hope for discovering that long-sought-after way of escape from sin and temptation (I Corinthians 10:13). A way that—because it is wholly Spirit-powered—does not require enlisting the aid of an accountability partner or group. Truly, a game-changer!
