Confronting Jezebel by S. Sampson

This is a great book. But would have better been named, Sampson confronts Deliah because that is exactly what it is and what it does. What Sampson says is true, but I know a Christian who admits to struggles with the thirst for power and after having gotten to know her I find that to be an honest admission on her part. She says you have to learn how to 'let go and let God' and shes 100% right. And that is what Sampson is trying so round about to say! Let go of the thirst for power and let God control you and your life! The bulk of the book is devoted to discussing what the Jezebel demonic spirit looks like, as in controlling, manipulative etc. The end of the book offers help and its brief; yes because it is a simple fix!!! Pray, ask God to help; let go and let God. Its that simple. The one point that I did not really care for is the way Sampson excuses her behavior; its not her fault---the demonic spirit made her do it. Sampson is still in love with Deliah. Still making excuses for her. I guess we dont know how to love without making excuses for bad decisions because we walk in fear. Shut up and put out - thats my take on life. If you are a Christian then its a 24 - 7 decision and too often we get tired of being Christians so we hunt excuses. We then revert to the devil made us do it. NO NO; we allow the devil to influence us; we let the devil talk us into stuff - its not a forced situation there are armys of Gods Angels walking all around everyone to make sure that we are not forced into anything. I received a free copy of this book from Chosen Books for writing a review.
