The Spirit of Control

A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep, but evil spirits come to hold, control, and oppress the sheep, causing people to have a strong desire for power and control, so that those around them and their subordinates are spiritually abused and suppressed, and their development is distorted.

Concept:

The spirit of control and the spirit of temptation are dark powers that manipulate and guide people and the environment due to selfishness or lack of security, without allowing personal freedom and choice.

The spirit of Jezebel is not a controlling spirit, but a false prophet’s spirit. Its purpose is to seduce. The spirit of Jezebel is a seductive spirit, a tempting spirit. It uses control and manipulation, but it is not a controlling spirit itself, but is higher than them.

Performance:

• Try to manipulate people, things, and the environment to make things go as you wish. If things don't go as you wish, you will immediately lose your temper. Spend a lot of time every day calculating and planning to achieve the purpose of manipulation, even sacrificing ethics, relationships, and morals.

• You think you are superior and that your methods, approaches and opinions are the best, and that you are the only one who can do it.

• Subconsciously, you believe that God also needs your explanation, otherwise God cannot do things perfectly, but in the end it is all for your benefit and is self-centered.

• For those who have this kind of desire for control, when they have the opportunity to serve, they do not love and care for those under their authority, but instead exploit and abuse them. They do not want to meet the needs of others, but use them to control others.

• People who are spiritually immature and have not established a godly character but who possess certain gifts or anointing are prone to fall into this category.

• In the church, those who are exalted through the exercise of their gifts and pretend to be humble will be threatened and spiritually degraded, which will eventually lead to chaos, contention and division.

• In the family, wives do not accept authority and control their husbands, and husbands control their wives. Parents control their children because they are afraid that their children will not be able to become successful or will become bad; children also control their parents. You must meet my needs before I will listen to you. This is a situation of mutual control and being controlled.

• The government, functional departments, and people's social and workplace aspects of society have almost all been infiltrated and controlled, the only difference is the degree of severity.

• The spirit of Jezebel uses control and manipulation, and the gift of false prophets, to seduce and tempt people to worship idols and commit fornication.

Reasons for the emergence of controlling spirits and seductive spirits:

Because of inner insecurity, fear and bitterness, you are afraid of losing what you have, or you desire what you don’t have, which may be relationships, fame, status, money, emotional satisfaction, sense of existence, etc.
