Manipulation is a very common problem, but very little
is said about it. It is a dark art practiced by many crafty
and selfish people, who find ways to take advantage of
others. The victim suddenly wakes up and finds out that
he has lost something very precious, but is not aware
of how he was taken advantage of. He realizes it when
it is too late to protect himself. Now he lives like a person who watches the film of his life being played out in
front of his eyes, but lacks the power to influence the
development of the story. What is so hard about this
problem is that it is so close to us. It has crept into marriages, families, schools, workplaces and national and international politics. God never uses manipulation in His
dealings with man. Most victims have never had a person to protect their interests against the manipulator. I
have lived and suffered under this problem most of my
life and found tragically little help from books. It is high
time the manipulated person finds somebody that will
protect and guide him! Jesus wants to open your eyes to
this influence and set you free!
