The Invisible Cell

How Well-Meaning People Create Invisible Prisons

People who claim they don't want power actually do—they just won't own it.


They want you to do whatever they want you to do, but they'll never just say it. Instead, they

disguise their control as "well-meaning" advice.


It's like living in an invisible cell.


The people around power-obsessed individuals are constantly trying to live up to the

expectations of someone who thinks everything should be one way or the other. But here's

the thing—it's always well-meaning people who create these invisible prisons.


The enemy doesn't come with a pitchfork. He comes disguised as everything you believe

you can trust.


You can't reason with someone who won't acknowledge their own motives. They want

control but dress it up as caring. They want compliance but call it concern.


Some of the biggest healing involves letting go of what you thought was real and not being

upset about what stole your innocence. I'm not talking about sexual innocence—I'm talking

about the naivety that was stolen when you believed someone and they knew it and used it.


People will think you're stuck in the past or accuse you of not being forgiving. But the truth

is, what you're having the hardest time digesting is understanding why that person did what

they did.


Jesus Christ calls us to impact, not power. When your motivation is helping people come to

the fullness of understanding who they are in Christ, you don't need to control anyone—you

trust God to do the work.


What invisible cell are you living in because you won't acknowledge someone else's need for

control?
