lord's servants."


                     This is also the pattern that Christ’s apostles set before the women of the church.

                       I Timothy 5:9-10
                       A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been
                       the wife of one man, having a reputation for good works; and if she has brought up
                       children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet,
                       if she has assisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good
                       work.

                     When the Jezebel spirit urges you to rise up, don’t argue with her. Silence Jezebel by
               your actions. Cast yourself down. Wash the feet of others. Take the lower position. In doing
               so you will prove the truth of the adage that states, “Actions speak louder than words.” The
               Jezebel spirit will flee in the presence of such humble service.
