I believe that when the Jezebel spirit enters the church as soon as it is recognised it needs dealing with. If insecurity fuels this spirit, then love is a powerful weapon, because when people feel loved for who they truly are then there is no need to be upfront all the time, in the limelight, or doing everything. A spirit of control and manipulation can be dealt with also in love, the person doing the controlling will often not handle being told about it very well, so, again, in love we tell them, "no, I am not going to do that, think that or say that etc, telling them that you care very much about them, but that this isnt your way of dealing with things. When they are critical of others openly say somthing, simply "hey, thats my broither, or sister your talking about," if you feel so strongly about them lets go and see them to gether so that you can pray together! This soon brings splutters and embarysment.
We have weapons of warefare that are not carnel at our disposal, Love is not mushy or wishy washy, true love took the son of God to the cross and kept Him their, it is the most powerful weapon that we have. I would say that the pastor who wants to love them to death has the true picture of what real love is all about. Why not as him how you can help in this, this family could turn around and become a real asset, dont push them away, embrace them as Jesus embraces us all. He loved even when others didnt. Go and do likewise.
