1 Kings 21:9–10 (NIV84)
9 In those letters she wrote:
“Proclaim a day of fasting and seat Naboth in a prominent place among the people. 10 But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them testify that he has cursed both God and the king. Then take him out and stone him to death.”
This is how Jezebel operates. She (it - because it is a spiritual force of wickedness) sets up and takes you down. But notice how she took down Naboth. She got two people to lie about him and then turned the community against him. It just takes a couple of "scoundrels" to stir up a whole community to be lead astray towards the plan of evil principalities.

Do you ever find yourself in some sort of predicament and you can't figure out how you got there? I am not talking about being blind to something that you have done, I am talking about serious innocence and all of a sudden you are in trouble. I remember being suspended from work for supposedly telling a deli manager that I should be getting free food because I worked to provide security (for the whole Marina and him) during the Toyota Grand Prix. I told my Sgt. that it wasn't me and he said it was. I told my boss over the whole Marina that it wasn't me and he said he didn't care. But I lost a lot of hours (overtime hours) and I didn't even go in that deli! Like my dilemma, it is often a spiritual force that is trying to control you or take you down. Ask God how to pray!
