Jezebel
& the Spirit of Jezebel:
In the last
post we talked about Elijah and how he did mighty things and yet threw his
ministry away and went to heaven because a personal note from Jezebel was just
one thing too much.
Revelation 2:18-
23
18 And to
the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Thyatira write:
These are the words of the Son of God, Who has eyes that flash like a flame of fire, and Whose feet glow like bright and burnished and white-hot bronze:
These are the words of the Son of God, Who has eyes that flash like a flame of fire, and Whose feet glow like bright and burnished and white-hot bronze:
19 I know
your record and what you are doing,
your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your recent
works are more numerous and
greater than your first ones.
20 But I
have this against you: that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a
prophetess [claiming to be inspired], and who is teaching and leading astray my
servants and beguiling them
into practicing sexual vice and eating food sacrificed to idols.
21 I gave
her time to repent, but she has no desire to repent of her immorality [symbolic
of idolatry] and refuses to do
so.
22 Take
note: I will throw her on a bed [[a]of anguish], and those who commit adultery
with her [her paramours] I will bring down to [b]pressing distress and severe affliction, unless they turn away their minds from
conduct [such as] hers and repent
of [c]their
doings.
23 And I
will strike her children (her proper followers) dead [thoroughly exterminating
them]. And all the assemblies (churches) shall recognize and understand that I am He Who
searches minds (the thoughts, feelings, and purposes) and the [inmost] hearts,
and I will give to each of you [the reward for what you have done] as your work
deserves.
If we look back at the ways of Jezebel in the book of I Kings 15-19, Jezebel was the queen she had no special
level of authority except that somehow she controlled the King. How did she control the most powerful Man in
the kingdom? How did Jezebel get away
with what she did?
The Book of Revelations tells us, by beguiling Tricking them convincing them that she was a prophetess
and inspired them into practicing sexual vice and eating food sacrificed to
idols.
1.
Beguiling (Verb) Charm or enchant (someone), sometimes in a
deceptive way: "a
beguiling smile".
2.
Trick (someone) into
doing something.
So that’s how she controlled the king and the
army and the People to worship her above anything else. She was beautiful but wore tons of makeup,
jewellery she taunted the king with sex.
So here are some of the attributes of Jezebel in the flesh.
1.
She professes to be a
Prophetess.
She has one goal to
Control everything
a. She started by
sexually controlling the King
b. She controlled the
prophets of Baal through claiming to be the high most important Prophetess and
with threats
c. She when she found
a God bigger then herself threatened His Prophet
2.
She sat in a window
and fluttered eyes at the men enticing them with Sexual Vices
3.
She was perverted in
the way she dressed and presented herself
4.
When her will was
challenged she got furiously angry
5.
She continued to
threaten and control the prophets until a little unknown Prophet named Jehu
went and told her, the time to repent was upon her.
6.
She was destroyed by
the eunuchs’.
These were men some of which might have been Castrated as children or might simple have been today what we call gay having no sexual attraction to women. Therefore they were trusted to be with the queen knowing they would not touch her inappropriately.
So here are some of the attributes of:
1. She deceives herself and others
that the prophetic working in her makes her the greatest and therefore she has
the right to override every authority and every other prophet.
2. She uses sexual tricks to entangle the prophets the leaders even the Pastors, Teachers and leaders in the Church she actually will make some in a church believe she is the only one that speaks for God.
3. She believes that the prophetic working in her makes her the greatest and therefore she has the right to override every authority and every other prophet.
Many of the things Jezebel will do is try to control leaders and churches through ungodly controlling Prayers
She sets traps and tricks to lure in leadership and destroy them.
2. She uses sexual tricks to entangle the prophets the leaders even the Pastors, Teachers and leaders in the Church she actually will make some in a church believe she is the only one that speaks for God. If that doesn't work she will falsely accuse them.
2. The spirit of Jezebel in the Church starts with the five fold ministry and flows down and precedes in the whole Church. If you see marriages falling apart because of infidelity, look to the top.

3. She dresses Perversely and will work hard in the church to get women and even more so youth to do the same.
You may even in this day and age find incest, human trafficking etc.
4. Jezebel really will target youth getting them to enter into impure relationship at ridiculously Early ages.
This is what God said would happen to her
Revelation 2:18- 23 Take note: I will throw her on a bed [of anguish], and those who commit adultery with her [her paramours] I will bring down to pressing distress and severe affliction, unless they turn away their minds from conduct [such as] hers and repent of their doings.

***NB.***I am teaching about Jezebel and this Spirit now but later will explain further the ways she can effect our prayer life but for now I will just say that God never wants you to pray a prayer asking Him to override the will of someone else. Your ministry should never seek to be in control of other ministry, God gives each of us a gift and we should not try and be in control of someone else's gifting or ministry.
I Corinthians 12:12-26
15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

Unity and Diversity in One Body
12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into[c] one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing?
