      Why I wrote this book.

      One Sunday night as I was just relaxing after a great Sunday evening with friends, I grabbed my Tablet to just see what I had missed in the world of television. I had a quick scan of one of the Apps belonging to one of Australia’s Prime Television Networks. One of the shows caught my attention, Special Investigation on Sunday Night.

      This was a special investigation about a young lady who had been murdered. This was heart breaking story, this young lady was in an abusive and manipulative relationship and she was murdered in 2011. The perpetrator was ultimately sentenced during the month of February 2014.

      As you can imagine, I was left with questions like many other people, didn’t she see it coming and what could she have done differently? As I went into deep thinking and looked further into the case I realised a few common patterns that existed that pertained to this case. These common patterns I’m referring to are often found in those abusive and manipulative cases. This was way to the extreme. More about that case later.

      However, I have also discovered that there are many men out there who are in ‘prison’. They have been imprisoned by their girlfriends, wives, even at times mothers. Many of the characteristics you find in abusers and manipulators can often be tied to Jezebel. Some men have dated and married women and only woke up in marriage and realised that the woman they married was a ‘beast’.

      The same has occurred to some women as well. Women who have married a man and later realised that the man they call ‘darling’ is an extreme manipulator and abuser. Many often ask, weren’t they clues in the dating process? It is my desire and goal in this book to go deeper and unveil some of the warning signs and what someone can do to liberate themselves from the vice grip of such abusers.

      Jezebel is the main name attached to these expert manipulators and controllers. So my desire is to liberate men and women who may be in abusive settings. You may be in a relationship you may not be in one but know someone who is in one. It’s often harder to manage a situation when you are already married, than when you are still dating. Some people are not married but maybe they are under a leader in church who is described as manipulating, controlling and maybe domineering. Maybe it’s not at church, but maybe it’s at work or another social group setting.

      So it is my desire to arm you with the information you need so that you can take action and save yourself grief, heartache and pain. Whilst there has been a lot of talk about Jezebel in the context of churches, in this book, I zero in on a crucial aspect of our lives that has been affected badly by this monster, the area of relationships. I will also share nuggets and expose some of the things taking places in churches, that are not of God.

      Be encouraged and be empowered and always remember you have an Uncommon Destiny!

      Wisdom

      Introduction

      The story of Jezebel is a story that has transcended time and religions. That name originally came from a biblical character that wanted a vineyard. This woman used her charm, beauty and manipulative tactics to get this vineyard. This is how Jezebel was born.

      Whilst Jezebel was a female character in the bible, be aware that in reality that Jezebel is a spirit. That means a man can have a spirit of Jezebel and of course women too. Whilst women were the ones popularly known to be possessing this spirit or be under its influence, men can often be under the vice grip of Jezebel and ultimately cause more damage in all spheres, be at work, homes and churches. The main thing is that it thrives in the ignorance of its victims and those in the lives of the victim.

      What you can’t confront you can’t conquer, what you can’t identify you can’t confront. So the only way that darkness can thrive is when there is no light, the appearance of light is the weakness of darkness. The absence of light is the strength of darkness. So as long as the abused is not aware of the fact that there is a way out, they will always be in prison. Also, so long as the abuser knows that no one else knows, their atrocities can continue. Till they are confronted, they will always continue to abuse.

      Many people have been abused for years in both marriages and also in just plain dating. Abuse can come in many forms when it comes to the area of relationships. There can be emotional, psychological, sexual, verbal and of course the most popular and dangerous one which is physical abuse. Physical scars are well known to be permanent and can be physically verified and people can walk away from the situations and mend in a much safer place.

      Psychological abuse can often be traumatic and its effects can last a life time. Sometimes the after effects can last even if the abuser and the victim have been separated physically. They can move to different countries, however the lasting impact of psychological abuse can’t be ignored. The same goes for verbal abuse. Verbal abuse can often lead to a low sense of self esteem which can lead to missed opportunities, absence of a healthy self and also lead to a general negative outlook on life. This is why people need to be armed and pick up the warning signs of an abuser early so that they can make an informed decision, whether to walk away whilst they still can or find some other way to handle the situation.

      So in this book we shall explore many variables and also unveil why some of the people don’t walk away quick enough. By understanding these variables, you will be more informed and be able to find the right decision and ultimately the right steps for your particular circumstance.

      A community filled with healthy relationships is a strong community. The reverse is also true, weak or dysfunctional relationships create weak communities and ultimately compromise the moral and spiritual fabric of a nation etc. I believe in strong families, for they foster strong communities. This is one of the reasons why I wrote this Ebook, so that our relationships can be healthy, last longer and our families can be more effective. If we can make good decisions during the dating process, our marriages will last longer and our children will be born and raised in safe environments that will allow them to fulfil purpose and destiny whilst contributing positively to the world around them.

      Divorce rates are very high in many countries. Cases of abuse are rampant across many countries. Many of those extreme cases could have been avoided had someone taken the right steps to intervene and put a stop to it. This may sound like I am saying it’s their fault, absolutely it wasn’t their fault! My point is let’s learn the lessons and lets implement a few lessons and lets understand a few things and create stronger communities and lets speak up whenever we see abusive and toxic things occurring to those around
