In the past, my response was to avoid people who were ruled with the spirit of control. A controlling spirit is an unhealthy need to influence others. It is a spiritual stronghold that blinds too many leaders or people who want to be leaders. Some have called this the Jezebel spirit based on the woman in 1 and 2 Kings. Emancipation means liberty, and in the Bible verse above, the presence of the Spirit of the Lord – the Holy Spirit – breaks every form of bondage. Whether you like it or not, a person manipulated by a controlling spirit is in bondage.Spirit Control allows its user to achieve a multitude of potent abilities through their ki, including Instant Transmission (a basic ability), Cloning, Gigantification, Healing (an advanced ability) and Forced Spirit Fission (an extremely advanced ability.Mark 7:20-23 is clear that our acts flow from our heart; an abusive person chooses to do what they do because they want what they want (James 4:1). Control/oppression violates God’s design for our relationships. It is a desire to dethrone God and dictate reality. We may not actively think those things whenever we want control of a situation or someone, but it is the foundation from which it stands. So many of the sins that we commit have the desire for control in them. Proverbs 25:28
The lack of self-control is a mark of a fool. He is like a city . . . left without walls, that is, with no means of defense against enemies.The definition of the word “control” used by Paul here is “to urge or force (a person) to an action; constrain or motivate.” As we think about control, we need to make sure our motives and actions in this life are informed by the great love Christ demonstrated for us in His life and death, so that His love will control.
Closing Prayer”
Lord, as I face the day’s challenges, You will be my first choice instead of my last resort.
Prayer for renewing faith
Heavenly Father, I’m asking You to give me eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to receive Your correction and guidance, as I seek a faith revolution in my life—a dramatic turnaround in my thinking, believing, speaking and acting. I ask You to give me the strength to hold strong in the days ahead.
Lord Jesus take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
