      Preface

      God wants you free and walking in the light!

      Luke 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.

      The devil wants to put you into bondage and darkness!

      Acts 26:18a to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God,

      Breaking the Darkness was written to help identify where the devil has brought darkness into our lives and show the path of how to be filled with God’s light. It is not enough to just break the bondage of the devil’s darkness in your life. You have to also be filled with the light of God to stay free.

      This booklet is by no means a comprehensive study of any of these subjects. It is a condensed booklet that will ‘jumpstart’ your understanding of these dark areas. As you apply the basic information in this book the Holy Spirit will lead you to more information if you need it. Be blessed and break free from darkness!

      Part 1 CONTROL

      1 What is a Control Spirit?

      Rev. 2:20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.

      In the last days we need to be on the lookout for a woman called Jezebel. Is this a real woman with the name of Jezebel? No, it is a type and shadow of a person that will be in the church that calls herself a prophetess. This verse gives us a few clues as to her behavior. But we need to realize that this type of person has been around a long time.

      The name of Jezebel comes from the wife of King Ahab in the Old Testament.

      1 Kin. 16:29-31 ²⁹In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years. ³⁰Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the LORD than any of those before him. ³¹He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him.

      Queen Jezebel was a mean, devil worshipping, controlling queen that hated God and tried to destroy everything that represented God. We know from history that sex was one of her primary weapons to control men to get her way. If that
