30 Days of Prayer #4 - Tolerating Jezebel

Today we will face the truth that we’ve tolerated Jezebel.
The church has tolerated sexual sin, ignored it, pretended it’s not there. I’ve heard pastors say, “I don’t have that problem in my congregation.” While the subject of sex is avoided, thousands of marriages and families are being destroyed. Two-thirds of Christian men and 30% of Christian women are struggling with pornography. Sexting is metastasizing in our youth; many are mired in promiscuity and porn.
In Revelations 2 Jesus busts the church: “In spite of your works, you’re allowing Satan to winnow my people with sexual sin—and you aren’t doing anything about it!” This isn’t just a church leadership issue; it is all of us. Some of you have been through the healing and recovery process yet you’re sitting on the sidelines. What are you waiting for? I challenge you to get in the fight and say, “Here I am Lord, send me!”
Today’s prayer assignment is to go to God and confess our sin as His body. “Lord we have tolerated sexual sin. From the pastor down to those of us who sit in the pews every Sunday, we’ve avoided discussing sexual issues openly and equipping your people on how to be an overcomer.”
Then, pray for those whose lives are being destroyed by porn, promiscuity, prostitution, adultery, sex trafficking, and all forms of sexual lust. Ask God to draw them to the ministries and places where they get help. Ask the Lord to equip his pastors with boldness to speak out boldly about the issue. Ask God to fight the intense spiritual battle for His people and send His warring angels to break strongholds and set captives free. Let’s go to war in prayer for those who are in bondage to Jezebel’s spell.
