The spirit of Jezebel is attracted to people who have the victim mentality or live in the realm of powerlessness. This spirit empowers wounded people or empowers those who wish to empower wounded people. Paul warns Christians to not carry the offenses of others. Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes (2 Corinthians 2:10-12). Paul calls this a scheme of Satan. We may have no problem forgiving someone for what they have done to us, but if they hurt someone we love, we stand up for the victim. Yes, we must stand up for the oppressed, but we must be aware of how the enemy can use a situation where we allow Jezebel to empower us.
