Proverb 7 tells us about the seductive woman, with persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk." Jezebel, the one mentioned in the book of Revelation is a mystery that needs to be revealed. Revelations tells us You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. Who is this woman that still infiltrates our church today? She is the woman who performs many gifts, signs, and wonders under the guise of prophet gifting, all while performing such miracle, signs, and wonders by sorcery and manipulation. This is how this story begins. A family in need of spiritual counseling entrust themselves unknowingly into the care of one such Jezebel. A husband newly called into the ministry desires to heal his family, by seeking spiritual counseling. This counseling started off being of great benefit. His wife was excited and so was he about their marriage being saved. Counseling started off virtually then turned into a live face to face visit. This is when things go wrong, terribly wrong. A powerful demonic manipulation began to take its root into this loving husband. How can a person be good and bad at the same time? How can a "woman of God" come seducing under the guise of helping? What would it take for him to loosen himself from her grips? Only, a praying wife and father!

Looking back at my life, one thing stands out, the struggle. Learning how to make do with a little of nothing and be thankful for the crumbs from others table was hard. I grew up in a harsh environment. There was physical, mental, and sexual abuse. This type of environment teaches you to use the most primal survival skills. I remember watching mom get up at three o'clock in the morning everyday to walk to work. She worked at the Columbus city courthouse. No matter the weather she was always there. Every day like clockwork she was there regardless of the weather getting it in. I remember seeing her wrap her hands in old socks to stay warm. Her shoes were running over from walking so many miles. I didn't understand at first, but time and error have shown me that she did what she knew to do for her children. It was her way of showing us she loved us the only way she knew how. I ended up doing the same thing for my children, following in her footsteps. Just like we took mom for granted my children did the same to me, take me for granted. I worked to provide a better life than I was able to afford as a child. My mom showed me that having children was a full-time job that you wanted to do, because the reward was priceless. The heartache and pain of a childbirth was only a prelude of what was to come, yet it's more than worth the indescribable joy and pride. When you can see how well they turn out. July twenty-fifth nineteen eighty, I found a reason to live and to strive. His name is Alandrew Ed Rodrick Jones, He was five ponds and three ounces, red wrinkled and squirming. The true beginning of my adult journey. I wasn't alone anymore. I had someone to love me.

As we go through this life on earth, we are faced with many challenges of hardships, difficulties, and even persecution. There are many other struggles and battles, which we often go through; that are more intense, even more painful, and severe. These battles are often faced on the inside; they are the ones that take place in our hearts. Most of the time no one seems to know or care to know. We can't share them with just anyone, so we fight alone, lonely, desperate, and frightened. We wait endlessly for God to intervene on our behalf. That answer seems to be so far away. Most times we already know that the outcome of most battles will be determined on how we handle the situation. I have been broken for a purpose!

My beautiful mother, Alice Thompson, published a series of poetry throughout her life under her pen name Olivia Dupree. Her books include "A Journey of the Heart" and "Inspirations of the Heart". Her writing is beautiful and full of meaning. My mother, Alice, is alive and well, and republishing her work is my way of keeping her legacy here well after she has gone own to bless heaven with her presence. It is her flowers before her while she lives.
