How to deal with controlling people?

 

What are the weapons that controlling people use?

 

Threats and guilt.

 

22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

Matthew 16:22-24

 

How do we love those who are trying to control and manipulate us.

Know what you are called to do.

Know when someone is trying to control you.

Know when it's time to draw a line in the sand.

 

The relationships you have are a combination of what you've created and what you've allowed.

 

If you don't like what you have, change what you expect and what you accept
