My Third Encounter

My third experience with this spirit operating in many professing believers was a doozy. It lasted three years and 4 months to be exact. On Feb 1st, 2005 I took a job with a growing real estate company in Plano, TX. I started the same day as another lady who was a member of Prestonwood Baptist Church. She professed to be a Christian as did most people working in our company. She claimed to be very devoted to prayer and confessed to hearing from God on a regular basis. In her personal life she was going through a bitter divorce as her husband had left her for another man (male) of all things.

Shortly after we started working there I had a dream one night about this particular lady. In the dream she was standing in front of me. As I looked at her the Lord spoke from behind me and said to me, "She has a Jezebel spirit." That was all he said to me and the dream ended. And boy did she ever.

She would take things that others said out of context all of the time and use it against us to our faces and behind our backs. Bitterness, gossip, slander, lying, divisiveness, control, a willingness to correct men openly, .....This lady was infested. After about a year with the company, whenever she would greet the CEO when he would come into the office in the morning, she would always want to give him a hug and at some point started trying to kiss him on the neck every time. YUCK!

"By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality..." Rev 2:20

This was the second time I saw this spirit manifesting in a sexual way. (The first time was with the lady I mentioned in my First Encounter. That lady slapped me on the behind one night at one of our bible studies while we were standing in the kitchen. Hard to believe?.....)

Yet, because we all felt sorry for her, because she still had a kid at home who needed help, we overlooked much of her behavior, forgave her and continued to pray for her. At times she would really calm down and become easy to get along with. Then we would all let our guards down thinking she had changed, that she really wasn't so bad after all, that it was just the stress of divorce and raising kids alone that was making her so carnal and fleshly. Yet in the course of time she would take advantage of people's good nature.

She would always want to know how to pray for everyone. She would always speak very highly of all of the decision makers in our company, too much in fact. So much so that you could tell it was a bunch of hogwash.

But the principle managers of the company felt sorry for her. She needed a job and she had a strong background in the Title Insurance industry. They hired her on the cheap with no insurance and gave her a flexible schedule to work around. They were just using her so they put up with alot of her garbage. But she made our lives as salesman very difficult. You couldn't trust her any farther than you could throw her. Yet I did witness one thing in particular with her. The Lord was being patient with her because he was trying to give her time to repent from her ways.

"Nevertheless I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess....I have given her time to repent of her immorality but she is unwilling." Rev 2:20,21

After being at the company for about three years, just a few months before the Lord had me leave, the Lord gave me another dream about this lady. In the dream I was standing in front of her just like I was in the dream roughly three years earlier. The difference was I spoke to her in this dream. I asked her, "Do you want to be free from this spirit?" She looked back at me and said very directly, "NO!" The dream ended and so did my time with the company shortly thereafter.

I later found out that this woman began to have one issue after another with her health. At one point she collapsed in the parking lot of a Home Depot and broke numerous bones in her body all at the same time. She was later diagnosed with brittle bones disease or something like that. She began to have one health issue after another.

"So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways." Rev 2:22

I do not wish this for this woman but I can tell you she is reaping what she has allowed this demon to sow through her. All of her gossip, slander, backstabbing, control,.....everything she did to all of the people in the office for years came back on her. Yet our supervisors wouldn't fire her. The Ahabs wouldn't get rid of her.

"Warn a divisive person once and then warn them a second time. After that have nothing to do with them. Such a person is warped and sinful. He is self-condemned." Titus 3:10

Jezebel created hell for all of us. And in the course of time I got a masters degree in dealing with this spirit. I learned things about this spirit that you can't learn in seminary or bible college. The experience was invaluable beyond anything I could have imagined. Yet for years no one could figure her out. She got away with all of her tricks for over 2 years before people started catching on.

Unfortunately, this wasn't my last encounter with this demon. I never thought we would have issues with this in Mexico. I don't know why? It was the wrong assumption. It popped up again 6 months ago in one of my good friends family members. Let me explain............
