Church Cliques: Modern Day Pharisees, Sadducees, & Jezebels Amongst Us

University University University

Some of these Christian girlies and boys are WICKED.

No hate like Christian love eh. 😂😂😂

Lol.

You’d THINK these people would be caring kind empathetic.

But they turn their nose up at you especially through difficult times or when they perceive you are flawed or struggling in ways they are not. Or because they have more than you, usually social status, income and popularity.

MODERN DAY PHARISEEES & SADUCEES WITH JEZEBEL AND RELIGIOUS SPIRITS!

I’ll explain so you have a proper understanding of what this is and maybe you’ve experienced this….

Pharisees – The Rule Keepers

What they look like today:

People who act like spiritual police. They’re obsessed with appearances, titles, and who’s “qualified” to be used by God. They gossip about who wore what to church but ignore their own bitterness. They make people feel like they have to be perfect to be accepted.

Real-life example:

You shared a struggle in your small group, and instead of receiving prayer or support, you got side-eyes, judgment, and distance. That’s a Pharisee spirit, more interested in condemning than covering.

Scripture:

“These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” – Matthew 15:8

Sadducees – The Spiritually Dry Intellectuals

What they look like today:

People who don’t believe in deliverance, healing, or the prophetic. They’re logical, polished, and respected, but they don’t have spiritual fire. They’ll tell you to “calm down” during worship or laugh at people who cry or speak in tongues. Lol I remember crying during our Christian Union ball during a praise and worship session and I got the dirtiest look from her like at the end when there were tears streaking down my face??????  Lol these people. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣

Also btw not EVERYONE was bad some were really lovely but it was few and fair in between.

Real-life example:

Sharing a dream or felt led to fast and pray, and they brushed it off like “that’s not necessary.” These are often the ones who say, “Let’s be realistic,” when you start talking faith.

Scripture:

“For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel nor spirit…” – Acts 23:8

Religious Spirit – Looks Holy, But Lacks Love

What it looks like today:

People who use scripture as a weapon, not a source of healing. They value performance over presence. You might feel like you’re constantly trying to earn your place or “measure up,” but never quite get there.

Real-life example:

You’re struggling with depression, but instead of being met with grace, someone says, “Where’s your faith?” Or you’re told to “just pray more” — without being met with compassion or care.

Scripture:

“Having a form of godliness but denying its power.” – 2 Timothy 3:5

Jezebel Spirit – Manipulative, Controlling, and Intimidating

What it looks like today:

This spirit often operates through people who want to control everything, especially leaders or people with spiritual gifts. It uses manipulation, flattery, guilt, and intimidation to get its way. It thrives in secrecy and creates chaos, division, and confusion.

Real-life example:

You started stepping into your calling, and someone close to leadership began subtly tearing you down, isolating you, or turning people against you. You began second-guessing your voice, your worth, and your place.

Scripture:

“But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel…” – Revelation 2:20

THE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP AT UNIVERSITY!

You lot thought you were safe 🤣 👍🏾

You’re next.

Biggest bully clique nasty controlling liars manipulative judgemental HATERS. If you’re not on their ‘level’ you’re not relevant or valuable.

I had one girl looooooool biggest hater I understand why now, always wanting to be the centre of attention and was placed in positions of influence at our Christian fellowship but behind closed doors had the nastiest and controlling spirit. Operating in Jezebel.

You think I I wouldn’t find out the lady you freelance for, that took a liking to me that I’ve supported since 2020 buying her products, you think I wouldn’t find out you’ve been chatting to her about me? Lol when people see you as a threat they like to get ahead of your blessings. It is welll.

PSA: When you block people’s opportunities that haven’t done anything bad to you by GOD your own blessing will be blocked and you WILL lose that opportunities God has given to you. Be very careful. Genesis 12:3.

You can make up whatever to gatekeepers to discredit  me but the truth will always prevail about you and your fake clique.

GOD SEES ALL.

So called Christians.

I always felt off around her. My body rejects people before my mind makes sense of the truth or I come into awareness of what they’re like behind closed doors. (I found out later her nasty behaviour). I find out sooner or later that what I’m feeling the way they talk about people, block opportunities, gossip control etc and segregate and isolate you if you don’t fit.

One day we had choir practice we were together alone this girl did not say a word to me the air was so tense. Like I’ve said before what have I done to you?

When I finally shared some revelations with a friend about her behavior she discarded my voice. We’re here now today you Judas.

Cool.

You’d THINK they’d really love and care for those who are downtrodden, rejected, outcasts like Jesus or the Good Samaritan.

What did Jesus call them again? Brood of vipers.

They know they can’t really move in secular spaces because of their Christian image constraints that’s why they seek opportunities in Christian spaces to control and get attention and praise. Fake humble, fake smiles with nasty souls. Pharisee Sadducees Religious Jezebel spirit is what they operate from. They don’t really love people they love what they can get for themselves.

They love:

• Power

• Control

• Manipulation

• Success

• Attention

• Praise

• Reverence

But lack character.

They:

• Backbite

• Backstab

• Gossip

• Turn others against each other whilst feigning innocence under the guise of fake concern adds fake humility whilst remaining fake humble.

There’s a few scripture that Jesus described these people:   

Jesus Condemns the Pharisees and the Teachers of the Law of Moses

(Mark 12.38-40; Luke 11.37-52; 20.45-47)

Matthew 23 Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:

2 The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law are experts in the Law of Moses. 3 So obey everything they teach you, but don't do as they do. After all, they say one thing and do something else.

4 They pile heavy burdens on people's shoulders and won't lift a finger to help. 5  Everything they do is just to show off in front of others. They even make a big show of wearing Scripture verses on their foreheads and arms, and they wear big tassels[a] for everyone to see. 6 They love the best seats at banquets and the front seats in the synagogues. 7 And when they are in the market, they like to have people greet them as their teachers.

8 But none of you should be called a teacher. You have only one teacher, and all of you are like brothers and sisters. 9 Don't call anyone on earth your father. All of you have the same Father in heaven. 10 None of you should be called the leader. The Messiah is your only leader. 11  Whoever is the greatest should be the servant of the others. 12  If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honored.

13-14 You Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses are in for trouble! You're nothing but show-offs. You lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. You won't go in yourselves, and you keep others from going in.[b]

15 You Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses are in for trouble! You're nothing but show-offs. You travel over land and sea to win one follower. And when you have done so, you make that person twice as fit for hell as you are.

16 You are in for trouble! You are supposed to lead others, but you are blind. You teach that it doesn't matter if a person swears by the temple. But you say it does matter if someone swears by the gold in the temple. 17 You blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?

18 You also teach that it doesn't matter if a person swears by the altar. But you say it does matter if someone swears by the gift on the altar. 19 Are you blind? Which is more important, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Anyone who swears by the altar also swears by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple also swears by God, who lives there. 22  To swear by heaven is the same as swearing by God's throne and by the one who sits on that throne.

23  You Pharisees and teachers are show-offs, and you're in for trouble! You give God a tenth of the spices from your garden, such as mint, dill, and cumin. Yet you neglect the more important matters of the Law, such as justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These are the important things you should have done, though you should not have left the others undone either. 24 You blind leaders! You strain out a small fly but swallow a camel.

25 You Pharisees and teachers are show-offs, and you're in for trouble! You wash the outside of your cups and dishes, while inside there is nothing but greed and selfishness. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of a cup, and then the outside will also be clean.

27  You Pharisees and teachers are in for trouble! You're nothing but show-offs. You're like tombs that have been whitewashed.[c] On the outside they are beautiful, but inside they are full of bones and filth. 28 That's what you are like. Outside you look good, but inside you are evil and only pretend to be good.

29 You Pharisees and teachers are nothing but show-offs, and you're in for trouble! You build monuments for the prophets and decorate the tombs of good people. 30 And you claim you would not have taken part with your ancestors in killing the prophets. 31 But you prove you really are the relatives of the ones who killed the prophets. 32 So keep on doing everything they did. 33  You are nothing but snakes and the children of snakes! How can you escape going to hell?

34 I will send to you prophets and wise people and experts in the Law of Moses. You will kill them or nail them to a cross or beat them in your synagogues or chase them from town to town. 35 That's why you will be held guilty for the murder of every good person, beginning with the good man Abel. This also includes Barachiah's son Zechariah,[d] the man you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 I can promise that you people living today will be punished for all these things!

Jesus Loves Jerusalem

(Luke 13.34,35)

37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Your people have killed the prophets and have stoned the messengers who were sent to you. I have often wanted to gather your people, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you wouldn't let me. 38  And now your temple will be deserted. 39  You won't see me again until you say,

Man looks at the outer appearance but God looks at the heart it’s soooooooo true just because they look like they’ve got it all together the success the respect but they’ll never convince me of the truth they do deeply try to hide and pretend. Bad character and bad hearts. The heart is desperately wicked who can know it?

I’ve experienced such bs from these people and so many others have too but they’re not brave enough to come forward.

I had to leave the choir because it was isolating and so judgmental it felt like I was among but not really not invited to meetings yes I’m not on apart of the leadership or was in a specific position but I was still apart of the choir.

I still see they are operating the same way by stuff they’re doing to me today that you lot don’t know.

To the engaged guy who manipulated me and your friendship with her and that whole circle just know your time is coming. I’ve had dreams last year of what you’ve been doing. You treat people so bad and hide your hands of the dirt.

SHA.

People this 2025 is truly the year of exposure. Old guards WILL fall and will usher in the new. Voices of those subjugated and rejected and downtrodden.

God said enough is enough. The time is now.

If you’ve ever experienced any of what I’m sharing please reach out. If I can offer any support or prayer. I’ll do my best.

God sees all. There’s nothing hidden in darkness that won’t come to light.

Lots of Love
