Above All Else, Guard Your Heart — Part 23

Pastor Shelley explores how manipulation functions as a subtle form of witchcraft in Christian relationships, operating not through occult practices but through emotional control and unforgiveness. He reveals a spiritual progression from pride to rejection, offense, bitterness, and ultimately to controlling behaviors that cause division. By identifying these patterns and addressing the root of bitterness through genuine forgiveness, believers can break free from both being manipulated and manipulating others, restoring healthy relationships built on freedom rather than control.
