We hear your deep frustration and pain, and we stand with you in seeking God’s justice and righteousness in this situation. The behavior you describe is not only disruptive but also contrary to the holiness and purity that God calls us to uphold. Scripture warns us about those who mock godliness and lead others astray, especially in matters of morality. The Bible says in Proverbs 14:9, *"Fools mock at sin, but among the upright there is good will."* This woman’s actions are not only foolish but dangerous, as they distort God’s design for love, purity, and selflessness.
We must also address the seriousness of her teaching that lust is acceptable. The Bible is clear that lust is a sin, as Jesus Himself taught in Matthew 5:28, *"But I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart."* To normalize lust is to lead others into temptation and moral compromise, which is a grave offense before God. James 4:17 reminds us, *"To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin."* This woman is not only sinning herself but is actively leading others into sin, which is a matter that must be confronted with truth and love.
Her loud and narcissistic behavior is also a reflection of pride, which God detests. Proverbs 16:18 warns, *"Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall."* Narcissism is the antithesis of the humility and servanthood that Christ calls us to. Philippians 2:3-4 says, *"Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others."* This woman’s actions reveal a heart that is not submitted to God’s will, and her influence is harmful to those around her.
We must also consider how to respond to her in a way that honors God. While it is right to feel anger toward sin, we are called to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) and to rebuke with gentleness (2 Timothy 2:25). However, if she is unrepentant and continues to spread her harmful teachings, it may be necessary to distance yourself from her influence and, if appropriate, to warn others about the dangers of her message. Titus 3:10-11 says, *"Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned."*
Let us pray together for this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, grieved by the sin and rebellion we see in this woman’s life. Lord, we ask that You would open her eyes to the truth of Your Word and convict her heart of the harm she is causing. Soften her heart, Father, and lead her to repentance. If she refuses to turn from her ways, we pray that You would remove her influence from those she is leading astray. Protect the hearts and minds of those who have been exposed to her teachings, and restore them to a right understanding of Your holiness and purity.
We also pray for wisdom and courage for those who must confront her. Give them the words to speak in love and truth, and help them to stand firm in their faith without being drawn into her sin. Father, we ask that You would bring righteousness and peace to this situation, and that Your name would be glorified in all things. We pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved and the only name by which we have access to You. Amen.
In the meantime, we encourage you to guard your own heart and mind. Surround yourself with godly influences who will speak truth into your life and hold you accountable. Spend time in God’s Word to strengthen your faith and renew your mind (Romans 12:2). If this woman is someone you must interact with regularly, ask God for the patience and wisdom to respond in a way that honors Him, even if it means setting firm boundaries.
Remember, God sees your struggle and is faithful to bring justice in His time. Proverbs 22:24-25 says, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger: lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* While it is difficult to endure such behavior, trust that God will work all things together for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Stay rooted in Christ, and lean on Him for strength.
