Part I: Exposing Jonadab, the Gaslighter (2)

Introduction

Gaslighting is a sophisticated manipulation tactic that certain types of personalities use to create doubt in the minds of others.[1] It is classified by psychologists as a form of mental abuse “in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory, perception and sanity.[2]

In my personal ministry experiences, I have found it to be the most common tactic of spiritual abuse and emotional warfare used among the congregation. It walks hand in hand with “The Spirit of Rebecca: Master Manipulator.” Even the most mature believer can be affected by this demonic influence.

Skilled and experienced gaslighters are masters in passive aggressive behavior. Perhaps their greatest area of mastery is their ability to twist actual events, words and situations into well spun lies. The truth is so intertwined that their victim completely misses the “underlining” lie. (Read this excellent article on “Passive Aggressive Behavior.”)

The destiny of EVERY CALLING is immersion in the mind of Christ, full reconciliation. Remember, we all have different giftings according to 1 Corinthians 12 but it is the same Spirit at work in all.

The success of a scribal group or Christian writing group isn’t based on the number of members, publishing projects or even the caliber of speakers in the eyes of men (Luke 16:15). Rather, it is based on being a catalyst through which people grow in pursuing God and walking out His plans and purposes for them.

Creativity According To The Kingdom by Matt Tommey

Posted on by Theresa Harvard Johnson

My soul has longed to read a book that could passionately capture my heart concerning the depth and power of God’s creativity, and impart the type of understanding into the ears of others that truly enabled them to appreciate and grasp the weight, impact and significance of Holy Spirit-inspired artistic expression. My friend Matt Tommey was able to do this in his book, “Creativity According to the Kingdom: Connecting with Heaven to Create with God & Release Transformation.”

I was created to be a poet, God’s oracle for healing and restoration. And as I am inspired, I grab hold of my oil pastels and worship into the morning. Several key passages from Tommey’s book affirmed that every ounce of creativity in me, and all artisans, is purposed to give and carry God’s light to others – bearing witness to His immeasurable, all-consuming, transforming power.
