found this long article at http://www.rgcministries.com/biblestudies/files/jezebel/JS2.htm and include just a small sample so that in the hopes of answered prayer others in charge may feast on this and have their blindeness removed

Placating Leaders
Like many leaders today, Ahab�s reign was characterized by trying to placate and pacify Jezebel�s demands. He tolerated Jezebel�s abominable decrees and practices.

Many pastors embrace an individual influenced by a Jezebel spirit because that person appears to have leadership skills or spiritual insight that the pastor thinks will help their church grow. Some may even convince themselves that, in time, they will be able to spiritually �mature� the individual. But in the process of helping this individual, many pastors strike a compromise and weaken their authority. Remember, Ahab�s placating spirit is exactly what gave rise to Jezebel�s lethal powerbase.

Several pastors remain complacent and not confrontational out of fear that an individual would split their church. One pastor was very aware that his chief intercessor operated with a Jezebel spirit. However, he was afraid to address the situation simply because she was intimidating and had influence over others. He thought if he lost anymore church members he would default on his church loan payment. Unfortunately, this situation characterizes many pastors today. Prayer and encouragement are needed for pastors who are caught in this deadly snare.
