Description
Breaking the Power of Manipulation takes a serious look at the signs and the effects of a person being controlled and manipulated. Manipulation is a common phenomenon in today's world. Everyday you come across headlines of newspapers reporting how common, innocent people are being victimized in the name of religion and God. Manipulation makes you dependent upon the will of the perpetuator. The perpetuator may succeed in making you feel that you have no potential to do anything of your own without their help and intervention. He brings you to such a state of mind that you lose confidence in yourself and instead always go to him for help making even the smallest decisions. In this process, you become dependent and subjugated to that person. In this book I shall mainly focus on one spirit that is very common and found especially in religious circles, but as well in offices, families and circle of friends. One could detect it easily if one knows its behavior. It is a product of the flesh that opens the door to an evil spirit. It is behavior that operates through a person to control by the use of manipulative, domineering and intimidating tactics. When it is in the church it is to disrupt the flow of the Spirit. The devil hates the prophetic flow of God, because the prophetic ministry demands repentance and cuts away evil without compromise. The prophet always speaks against Jezebel. Additionally, the prophetic words come with creative power, which renders the enemy helpless. There is such significance in the fact that Jezebel wanted to destroy Elijah. The Jezebel spirit hates the prophetic, uncompromising voice. It cannot accomplish its agenda with a prophet around. However, I shall not so much talk about the queen Jezebel, but expose how hidden motives combine with a strong desire in certain people find ways to achieve influence and exercise control.
