Hi All:
Thank you for reading my post. I am very much in need of prayer. I have been struggling with this situation at Church for sometime now and the enemy has been just having a field day with this. There is a woman at my Church who is a very forceful person and she is very persuasive (maybe manipulative) She goes completely bananas when she does not get her way and it is no surprise why her little girl acts out and hits and punches people. She is also deeply insecure from what I can tell and she gets very offended - and starts accusing, if she does not get the attention/affection she seeks from ME! The LORD has showed me that I am NOT to give in to this woman. He has shown me that we are to LOVE ONE ANOTHER (this woman is also very judgmental and CRITICAL of ME) and that everyone LOVES DIFFERENTLY as she has went to people and gossiped about my being 'cold' and 'unloving' and 'looking at her weird' and she has also accused me of 'looking at her like I wanted to kill her'?? Very weird comments. I am at the point where she makes me incredibly uncomfortable and it is as if a wall is there when it comes to her and I feel very strongly to just keep away from her and keep a distance from her and I am just so uncomfortable to the point that I do not want to have even a basic conversation with this woman. I need to heal emotionally from all the criticism that this woman has thrown my way and also from the accusations of disrupting the unity of the Church and being 'cold and unloving' to her. She has also taken this to others and is constantly complaining about me to them to the point where it has affected my relationships with others. I have never been told these things in my life and it comes as quite a shock to hear these things but at the same time, this has to do with her basing her claims on 'feelings. The LORD has put me in situations in my life to be an encourager and to LOVE people. Just because this woman is forceful and starts accusing me because I am not giving her what she wants is very disturbing to me. I used to be angry about it, but the LORD has shown me very clearly that the things that she accuses me of hold no water and have no merit. I ask for prayer that the LORD protect and cover me from any more accusations from this woman and that the LORD show all of the people that she goes to and complains about me where the TRUE PROBLEMS LIE in this situation and if there are any in the future. Please also pray that this woman begin to look inward instead of focusing so much on what she thinks is wrong with others.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL and take good care!
In his PRECIOUS NAME....I pray. Amen!

The enemy knows how much you love the Lord and His people. He attacks in ways that would cause us to become frustrated and to lose focus. I have found my self in situations similar to yours. When this occurs I began to search myself. Some times our facial expressions and body language indicate how we feel towards those who actively and intentionally hurt us.(Even that which we speak). When this occurs and we know in our hearts and that the Lord knows we are not guilty of that which we have been accused of we must get more involved in the word and focus on God and our relationship with him. He will give you his peace in the midst of negative circumstances. Continue to love, for love is of God. He will see you through this. Father, God I pray that you wil deliver Laureen from the attack of the enemy. I agree with your word that"Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee,because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3. Give her your divine peace that she may continue to do your will. Touch the mind of the antagonist that she also may obtain inner and divine peace. Heal her heart from all hurts real and unreal. Thank you Lord for Laureen submitting herself to you in prayer. Make her stronger, in Jesus name

Laureen my mom went through something like this many years ago. At first she tried to be this women's friend but she got tired of all the stress that she was bringing on her. When she tried to distance herself the women also caused a lot of problems for her. It was really a thorn in the side. I think Beverley has a lot of wisdom in the things she said. Could this be something you could talk to your pastor about? Just a thought. This women I am sure is very insecure. She needs our prayers. But so do you having to deal with this where you only want to find a place of refreshing and peace with the Lord.


Dear Lord in Heaven, I make intercession over this prayer request for Laureen. I pray that she will know how to handle this lady, what is right in this situation. Help her to let all of this pettyness from this lady and discord roll off her like water off a ducks back. Help it not to penetrate. Help her to be able to focus on Thee when these feelings try to get in the way and cause her stress in her church. I pray for this women that she will be stopped in her tracks. I pray that no one will give a place for these kinds of remarks to take root. I pray for peace to abide in this church and this issue can be resolved. I pray in Jesus Holy name amen.

You are dealing with a Jezebel spirit, one of the hardest spirits for a person to get delivered from. They want attention, just as you said this woman does. The one I dealt with was leaning on me -- constantly wanting to know if I was still her friend. When she didn't like something I told her, she accussed me of being cold hearted. After a day ro two, she would be all "Your still my friend." She wouldl be the one in the wrong, but she always made me out to be the one who offended her. The other one I dealt with was telling us that all these people in leadership in the churches around here were into the occult. These people put curses on you. While pretending to be righteous, they are really evil, or the demon influencing them (the Jezebel spirit) is evil. It is hard to tell where the person and the spirit end or begin. After a while, I figured out that the one gal was probably the one into the occult -- she knew too much about occult practices, which I realized as she kept making up stuff she had seen these people (in leadership) doing. So, anyway, when I read your post, I thought of these two women in my past....

From my experience these people ARE NOT friends. They only use you! The one who would say I was cold hearted, then would come back and say we were still friends had me crying my eyes out when she said I was cold hearted. That was the day I realized I was under demonic attack. I was crying so hard, and usually I wouldn't really care so much.... When the other young woman was telling us all these people were into the occult (then, asking, "I didn't have anything to do with that, did I?"), I was in this constant state of edginess (fear, really). When you come into contact with a Jezebel spirit, you find yourself in heavy warfare! I certainly did. I don't know if I have ever prayed so hard as when dealing with these Jezebel spirits. Becasue the demon gets so in control of the person, you are not actually fighting the person, you are fighting the demon. You will find yourself wondering why this person is so hard to deal with -- but it is the heavy influence of the demon that is making them act so difficult.

I have heard that those with Jezebel spirits don't even know they have them. Manipulation or control is their #1 trait. When I caught on that the one woman had one, I just ignored the things she wanted of me. That made her mad. I did what I knew God was asking me to do, and I refused to be controlled by her wishes and wants. I obeyed God and did what I knew was right. This is the best way to get the Jezebel spirit to back off out of your life. When she can't control you, she will no longer pretend to be your friend. Well, for a while she will.... hoping to get you to come her way, do what she wants. But eventually, she will have no control over you, because once she sees that she can't control you, she will look for others to control.

There will be a fight on your hands, because of the demonic influence on this woman. But don't back down! Tell her honestly that you do not consider her actions to be the actions of a friend. When I confronted the one woman (the other cut off the relationship before I could confront her), she didn't want to be my "friend" anymore. She told others I was a bad person, etc., but I just had to accept that, knowing within myself I had confronted her in order to help her. When this woman realized she couldn't control me, the demon basically saw that I had won the battle in Christ. I felt so free when I quit letting her control me by her comments and actions. Not letting the person control you is how you win this spiritual warfare.


Dear Lord, please help Laureen in this situation. Give her the confidence to do what's right and not to back down from it. I pray that she will not let this woman or the demon influencing her control her anymore. Set Laureen free of such manipulation. I pray that she will know that not befriending this woman does mean she does not have love. Father, I pray that Laureen can learn how to ignore the negative comments flying about her. This is warfare, and it will take time until the smoke clears and everyone sees who the bad person really is. So help Laureen stand up to this woman all she can, and, no matter what happens, to refuse to be swayed by the rumors circulating. I remember how hard it was to deal with these Jezebel spirits, and I am not really sure how to pray.... Show Laureen how to win this battle. Tell her what to pray, what scriptures to claim. I pray that You will guide and direct Laureen in this difficult time. I pray that You will show this woman for what she really is, and I pray that Laureen may be free of her control. Restore Laureen's reputation in the congregation. Let the people know that these things this woman said about her are not true. Intervene in all this in Laureen's favor. In Jesus Name, I ask and pray, amen.

Lord, I cry out to you to intervene here!

I ask that this strife will be broken and that this church will be protected.

I bless everyone involved with wisdom and I ask that you will show Laureen just exactly what you want her to do and say each step of the way.

Thank you, Lord, that you are near and willing to help.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Hi ALL:
Thanks so much for your prayers! I need them so very much!! This is a very uncomfortable situation and I feel as though I cannot discuss it with anyone because they do not want to listen to me but will listen to this other person. I finally got the courage to sit with her and let her know how I felt and upon entering Church that day, I told one of the 'leaders' that this situation had not been resolved and that my plan was to discuss this with her and I was told that I was a big 'overreactor' and that this situation was resolved months ago and that I just needed to 'let it go'. So, I spent the better part of the worship service crying my eyes out and listened to the sermon and just left it. She did approach me after the service because at the encouraging of another sister--earlier that week I sent a card to the woman who I am having difficulty with and it said 'You are loved' on the front and inside of the card I put two scripture verses one which spoke of 'loving one another' and the other, I believe is Galatians 14:5-7 which spoke: if you continue biting each other be careful or you will destroy each other - that is not word for word, but I think that was the jist of it. She wanted to speak with me but because I was speaking with someone else, she seemed more patient and understanding this time and not forceful or rude which is what I had sort of expected based on her prior attempts to get my attention and when she was not getting what she wanted from me. Since then, she has not tried to speak with me but I noticed last week, when I was speaking to four other women who were visiting our Church, that she was looking over and seemed a little bothered that I was speaking with those women and not giving her attention. She then sent her son over with some candies or something in a little Easter package which I refused because I cannot eat much sugar. I am only hoping not to get scolded for being 'unloving' again. I can almost hear it coming. She seems to pay an awful lot of attention to what I am doing and that is something that bothers me. She has accused me of 'looking at her weird' but yet she seems to know more about me and what I am doing than I do her. If I only could figure that one out, but I guess that I never will. She seems to be speaking alot with the associate pastor's wife who is someone that I speak with as well. I just get this sort of weird negative vibe now and don't know if it is just me considering what has happened, or if there is really something that I should be concerned about. I guess the LORD will show me. I am going to ask that my Bible Study Group also pray about this situation for me as well. Thank you again so much for the prayers! Please keep praying as I need alot of covering about this and until it is resolved. I have considered leaving the Church MANY times because of this and hope and pray that our Pastor sees what is going on and that the others are given enough wisdom to see the truth in this situation.

Thank you again and GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!!!

In JESUS PRECIOUS NAME, I pray......AMEN!!

Many blessings to all of you!
