JEZEBEL RECLARIFICATIONS
PART I

What is this behemoth?
Jezebel – What is this behemoth power that seemingly rises from the very pit of hell itself? It has brought great ministers and ministries to the dust. It has hindered and opposed the work and will of God on the earth. It has usurped, undermined, and perverted the God given authority to men, women, churches, and movements intended to shake the very foundations of the earth. It has crumbled nations and dethroned kings and queens.
Meet the enemy - it is no demon
Reach over across your body and shake your opposite hand (if you have one). Let me introduce you to the source from which this power called Jezebel has the potential to rise. It is the uncrucified flesh of men, exerting it’s will into the affairs of God and man.
What about the “spirit” of Jezebel
You might say, “I hear people talk about the ‘spirit’ of Jezebel. You are telling me that this spirit does not exist?” Yes and No, the Jezebel that dominates most of the church today is not sourced in a demonic spirit, it is sourced in the fleshly desires of men for the pleasing of self. You might say the people who are afflicted with a “spirit” of Jezebel have (these are my terms) “a spiritual condition like that of Jezebel” spoken of in I Kings and Revelations 2:20-23. Now, to say there is not a demonic spirit that calls itself Jezebel would be foolish. But, to say this demonic spirit is responsible for the dead works of millions in Christendom is ludicrous.
The Jezebel Jesus Judges
Rev. 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you suffer that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts: and I will give to every one of you according to your works. (AKJV)
Clearly the person spoken of here is not a demon. Jesus has even given her time to repent. He is not saying “you have a ‘Jezebel spirit’ in your midst.” He is calling a person Jezebel because they are like Jezebel in that they are leading God’s children astray from truth and into fleshly idolatry just as the Jezebel of Elijah’s day.
What about the demonic activity that I have experienced when confronting Jezebel?
Yes, I too have had demonic attacks directly related to dealing with Jezebel. And you will find any time you mess with people’s uncrucified flesh there are demonic forces surrounding wickedness that keep the person bound, and assist in propagating wickedness. These demonic forces will show up at times in the methods and tools used by Jezebel to further her own self centered agendas. But Jezebel needs no demonic help to resort to wicked means of operation. Here is a list of methods and tools used by people who are Jezebel.
Flattery- Flattery attempts to inject pride into people that puffs up their flesh and prepares them to receive the demands of their flesh as legitimate God given rights. It is the way in which a person who walks in the likeness of Jezebel brings others to join them on their journey of Spiritless endeavors promoting works of the flesh in the name of God.
Seduction- This involves compromise that takes people one small step at a time until before they know it they are no longer where they once were. By they time anyone confronts them with this fact they may have deceived themselves into thinking they are doing good. This method may lead to fornication and adultery.
Lying – This weapon is used to impress people with fictional exploits or to defame and discredit those who are walking in the true anointing, authority, and power of God. Many times it can work its magic also by causing bitterness in the one being attacked, causing much damage.
Intimidation – Like the Jezebel of old, who used intimidation on Elijah; this has the potential to literally shut down the anointing and word of the Lord to those who will let fear rule over them.
Controlling and Manipulating –This is how Jezebel keeps people in line and following even when they have lost all desire to do so. Fear of being in disobedience to God or being in rebellion to God is a great motivator that Jezebel uses to keep her flock intact and in line.
Great piety and holiness (set apartness) – Jezebels humbly make it known the great service they have done, how much they pray, and the great spiritual gifts and impartation they have received from God. This can involve some sort of special spiritual insight, power, or impartation they have that people must receive from them. Such as; deliverance, fullness, the Seven-fold Spirit of God etc. It is used to prey on the immature and to try to impress the mature.
There are probably more, but these are some tools of Jezebel I have encountered. I have even used some of these in my stints as Jezebel. Yes! Jezebel is ME uncrucified. It is self exerting it’s wanton desires over the affairs of God and man.
Like a contagious disease
This exalting of self called Jezebel is like a contagious disease that any who will tolerate it are affected by. It works like a slow poison, causing all who will tolerate it to start to be conformed to her image. Whole movements, ministries, denominations, and churches are emitting a death stench that rises as a result of her poisonous touch. She is not limited to the church either; many businesses, governments, clubs, societies, institutions, associations, etc., are rife with the smell of her brand of death and destruction.
Why this article?
The purpose of this article is to expose, confront, and help people recognize this wicked witch and to reject her. In Rev. 2:20-23, Jesus rebuked people that “tolerated” or “suffered” her and made it clear that He held them responsible.
Paul writes in Romans 13:14, But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. (AV)
Making no provision for means we give it no room. No toleration for my flesh or yours.
