The linked Instagram Video promotes the idea that God does not want to control others... But demons do.

The full audio of the video in text:

Demons do not desire to let you have control over yourself. Demons are like... Honestly, like many people. Who want to control others. So as an aside, if you ever feel like you want to control others, stop that! God doesn't want to control others, so why should you?

Food for thought from an Orthodox priest.

(I will try to get his name.)

God does respect some liberty but only so much

He punishes the wicked sometimes, other times lets them off the hook for a season

Also holy obedience in religion is something of an authority being in control with the people obeying the authority (kind of the authority "controlling" the subject, although the subject is somewhat consenting)
