More on this controlling, gut-punching, narcissism (see also entries of April 2018 in this blog).
Its often called a "Jezebel" spirit due to the Bible story of Jezebel and Ahab, which illustrates it, but it is gender-neutral. Any gender can operate with a "Jezebel" or "Ahab" spirit. Jezebel Spirit-- A type of demonic spirit that influences a person to manipulate others to accomplish its personal agenda. It specifically targets ministries and institutions that are established to glorify God—hoping to destroy their God-given destiny and purpose. This spirit can be identified as domineering, clairvoyant, and manipulative. Confusion and insubordination often follow in its path. The Jezebel Spirit is typically very aware of Church tradition and theology. It uses this knowledge to manipulate those in authority to benefit their own demands. This type of spirit can influence both men and women alike. -- Curt Landry Religious Spirit-- A type of demonic spirit that influences a person to replace a genuine relationship with God with works and traditions. When a person operates out of a Religious Spirit they attempt to earn salvation. This attempt to appear righteous is often hiding behind anger and resentment. They often set standards for those underneath them that are impossible to fill, withholding love from the individual when they fail to meet their standards. The Religious Spirit is highly critical and judgmental of everyone, especially those in leadership. Python Spirit / Leviathan Spirit— A type of demonic spirit that influences a person, ministry, marriage, or other institution established to glorify God. Its goal is to make the Believer lose hope in their purpose. This spirit is described as “wrapping itself around its victim and suffocating it.” Just when the victim thinks it has caught their breath, the Python Spirit (Leviathan Spirit) will tighten its grip again. This demonic spirit causes isolation, depression and cuts off communion and fellowship among Believers. Poverty Spirit-- A type of demonic spirit that invades a person’s mind causing a sense of deprivation. This spirit primarily attacks the finances of a Believer. A person operating out of this spirit typically makes poor financial decisions and experiences chronic long-term lack—no matter how much money they make, an emergency always seems to wreak havoc on their finances soon after. Orphan Spirit-- A type of demonic spirit that invades a person’s mind causing a sense of abandonment, loneliness, alienation, and isolation. It often attaches itself to someone who has experienced extreme rejection in their life. A person operating out of an orphan spirit compensates these feelings of insecurities by being performance driven, competitive, and works independently. They struggle with self-worth and find it difficult to maintain healthy relationships. Alignment— A term that encompasses walking fully in God’s order and honor (a lifestyle), leading the Believer down his or her path of divine destiny set forth by God through the direction of the Holy Spirit, bringing into light prosperity, victory, and empowerment. 
NEVER partner with a lie (from Bill Johnson):
"Lies are costly, as they steal life from all who embrace them. Tragically, if I believe a lie, I empower the liar. The devil is the enemy of our souls. He works to trip us up through lies, intimidation, accusation, and seduction. His aim is to get us to question who God really is... It’s a poison that works into our being to destroy our identity and purpose. The devil lies about who God is and, in turn, who we are. ... I can’t afford to have a thought in my head about me that God doesn’t have in His head about me. Thinking independently of God is not freedom. In fact, it is the worst possible bondage imaginable to think outside of the purpose and design set in place by the greatest creative genius ever to exist. The mind-boggling challenge comes when we realize that this One who owes us nothing has invited us into a co-laboring role in caring for all He has made through the privileged relationship of discovering His heart. As a result, the greatest gift we can give ourselves is to require that our thought life work in tandem with His goodness. Being tethered to His goodness is the most wonderful illustration of freedom and liberty possible." Bill Johnson
