Stop TOLERATING the Jezebel spirit! These are my notes from a teaching I saw from Pastor Robert Morris of Gateway Church 2011 Pastors Conference in TX.
The Jezebel spirit tries to get you to defile yourself on the inside or outside to disqualify you for ministry.
We should cast her out and those who commit adultery with her. Don’t allow this anymore. The Jezebel spirit only has power because we tolerate it. This is a constant battle for people in authority. As long as you are in authority you will run into this spirit.
Jezebel was rejected by her father and had a controlling mother. She/He is so wounded that they don’t want to be rejected. They are control freaks. Usually this spirit comes through a friend who wants to be your best friend.
Most of the time we don’t want to confront it because of what you will get back. Who in your church are you afraid to confront? You will get an over the top reaction or rejection when you do confront them.
Elijah addressed Jezebel and Ahab. Every Jezebel has an Ahab. Every person has been confronted by both of these spirits.
Revelation 2 speaks about what happens when you allow this spirit to continue.
What King of Israel conquered more land in the Old Testament?
1. Solomon
2. Ahab
3. David
Ahab was #2 which shows you can be a great conquerer and still be in bondage to a Jezebel spirit. Ahab couldn’t get the vineyard next door to his castle. He pouted. Jezebel got the land through manipulation, intimidation, lying, and fear.
6 ways to recognize Jezebel spirit
- Insecurity
- Rejection
- Pride
- Arrogance
- Manipulation
- Control
Jezebel can operate in a man or a woman. It is a manipulating, insecure, controlling, jealous spirit.
As long as you tolerate this spirit it is going to effect you!
4 effects or symptoms of how this spirit effects you
(From 1 Kings 19) when Elijah runs from Jezebel
1. Fear – Elijah ran for his life. Are you afraid to address someone in your church? It is a spirit.
2. Isolation – when you want to get away from everyone and everything.
Just want to be alone. You withdraw.3. Exhaustion – you collapse, you are so tired you sleep for hours when you leave the area. It is a spirit.
Or if you have problems sleeping when you get back – you sense the oppression.4. Depression. Elijah prayed that he would die. Many leaders are affected by this: Moses, Jeremiah, Jonah.
Thoughts of suicide are evidence of a Jezebel spirit attack in your life. Impure sexual thoughts from out of the blue are evidence that you are under attack from a Jezebel spirit. And these thoughts are bombarding your mind, despite your best intentions.
Signs that You Are Being attacked by a Jezebel spirit
1. Thoughts of quitting. You want to quit what God has called and ordained you to do. You can be gracious with the person, but you can’t be gracious with the spirit.
2. Suicidal thoughts. This is evidence of a Jezebel spirit. Bombarding thoughts.
3. Depression. For example, do you find yourself relating to commercials on depression?
4. Having sexual impure thoughts. Bombarded with this stuff.
5. Strange and prolonged sicknesses.
6. Bizarre and near tragic/fatal accidents.
The spirit is trying to steal, kill, and destroy you!
Jezebel spirit tries to :
Steal your peace, joy, & confidence
Kill you with sickness & accidents
Destroy you with depression & fear
What is the Answer?
- Address it in the person. Be gracious to the person, but not the spirit
- Remove that person from all leadership unless the person repents
- Remove that person from any personal influence with you
You can’t remain friends with a Jezebel – they are not humble or teachable. That spirit will affect you.
1 Kings 19. Wind = Holy Spirit
Prophet, Priest, and King – Jesus
If you don’t deal with this. God will deal with you. Those who sleep with Jezebel were judged too.
He will remove you and raise up someone who will stand up to the spirit. And that person will have a double anointing.
What to Do:
Get with God
Seek Godly Counsel
Take action.
Prayer – repent for tolerating this spirit in leadership. Cast it out and trample that spirit. Forgive us Lord.
Take authority over that spirit. By the Name, blood, and the Power of the Lamb we rebuke Satan and every demonic spirit of control, manipulation, rejection, fear, intimidation.. go in Jesus Name!
Thank you for the breakthrough, in Jesus Name
What is being held up in your life because you are tolerating this spirit?
Revelation 2
The Corrupt Church
18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write,
‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 19 “I know your works, love, service, faith,[b] and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow[c] that woman[d] Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce[e] My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.[f] 22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their[g] deeds. 23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
24 “Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. 25 But hold fast what you have till I come. 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—
27 ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father; 28 and I will give him the morning star.29 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’
Wow! “Bizarre and near fatal accidents” I had a female friend who overnight 3.5 years ago became very abusive to me, emotionally, verbally and psychologically. She suddenly became combative and confrontational. She’d belittle me. Insult me. Call me names. Tear me down. She’d manufacture fights, creating arguments out of nothing. Falsely accuse me of lying. Blame shift. Revising the history between us (20+ years) in order to fit her false narrative and false accusations. She became mean spirited, cruel, wicked and evil. I became her emotional punching bag. She was very manipulative. Always played the victim role. Lacked empathy. Very controlling.Very selfish. Always seeking attention admiration and compliments. Hyper sensitive. Lacking empathy. Using projection. Gaslighting. Lashing out whenever she felt or assumed I was criticizing her.The feeling of entitlement.
I chalked it up to her being an alcoholic, going through menopause and just an unhappy person. I did some research 2.5 years ago and learned that she showed most if not all of the traits of a covert/vulnerable/mid range narcissist. I knew nothing about narcissism all of this time, but after all of these years I’ve experienced all three phases of narcissism. Idealization (Love Bombing). Devaluation.and the Discard.over and over. I decided to physically stop seeing her, as I dealt with recovering from a bizarre, near fatal accident, and learning what she truly was.
I basically remaining phone friends, with her usually being the one to call, usually to vent about her job, her adult kids, and her family, before finding something hurtful to say to me, or to try to push my buttons, to start another fight, disagreement or argument between us. She seemed to thrive on fighting/arguing. She obviously learned that behavior from her parents, who wee always fighting. I had read some information about the Jezebel Spirit which I found in description resembled a narcissist in so many ways.I wondered if she was possessed by the Jezebel Spirit?
I had a near death, freak accident on 3/24/2019 where I suffered a severe neck injury that left me totally paralyzed for over an hour. I’m still dealing with nerve damage on my left side. I remember we had an argument earlier that morning, over me not wanting to do her taxes for her like I did the year before. She never asked me. And actually told me in an angry way that February that she didn’t need me or want me to do her taxes. to which she later denied saying, accusing me of lying. So during the phone conversation in the early hours on 3/24/2019.
She kept bringing up her taxes and finally said “please don’t make me ask you if you would do my taxes for me again” I replied “I thought you said you didn’t need or want me to do your taxes”,I continued “Normally when a friend needs a favor, or wants another friend to help them out, they ask them if they would.” “I definitely wasn’t going to volunteer my services when you told me a month earlier, out of nowhere that you didn’t need or want me to do your taxes, and honestly, after the way you talked to me and treated that day, I had already made up my mind that I wouldn’t do them for you again.
She got all angry, calling me an a$$, and a liar and then she hung up on me (She did that a lot). She tried calling me that evening around 8:30PM, but I was busy recording some vocals, ironically for the Johnny Cash version of the song ‘Hurt’ and I didn’t really want to deal with her, or argue with her some more. Two hours later I had the freak accident. As I look back,four of her boyfriends or former boyfriends all died. Two boyfriends in bizarre, freak accidents, one former boyfriend in a car accident and another former boyfriend from a massive heart attack at the age of 48, although he was suffering from congestive heart failure .
After reading the “Bizarre and near fatal accidents” occurring to the victims of someone possessed with the Jezebel Spirit and knowing that narcissists and those possessed with the Jezebel Spirit want to destroy their victims, I wonder, I just wonder about her former boyfriends deaths and whether the Jezebel Spirit had anything to do with their deaths? Anyway, she discarded me at the end of February,after falsely accusing me of lying, and three weeks after calling me crying and asking me for forgiveness for her admittedly, in her words,”for treating me like sh*t for so long”…”My God, I’ve been so mean to you, but I don’t know why.” Telling me she loved me before we ended the surprisingly short and peaceful conversation.
Of course actions speak louder than words. One week later she was right back at treating me like sh*t, being mean and starting stupid arguments over nothing. She didn’t like when I called her out,and reminded her about asking me for forgiveness, and that typically when someone asks another person for forgiveness for admitting to have treated them poorly, one would think that person would at least attempt to change. Discarded and ghosted after she hung up on me. She thinks she is so clever. She thinks she has control. She thinks she has devastated me. She doesn’t realize that she’s done me a big favor. I do feel sadness though. Sadness that the person I once loved and cared about, never really existed.
Sadness for how someone can so easily erase the happy memories we once shared, and replace them with bad, negative memories she’s created in her mind. Sadness that someone can so easily erase another person from their life when all that person ever did was care about them, even when they probably shouldn’t have. Sadness, but anger at myself for allowing this person to treat and talk to me the way she did before finally standing up to her wickedness. Anger at myself for allowing somebody so toxic, so hurtful, so damaging, so undeserving to continue to be in my life for far to long., FREEDOM! I survived the narcissist and the Demon Jezebel spirit…..and Satan’s daughter.
Thank you Tony for sharing your heart. I understand. I have had many narcissists in my life as well. I had to forgive myself for believing them. They are masters of deceit and lies. We are wiser now, lesson learned. I am forever grateful for the blood of Jesus protecting us. I have had freak accidents too. It took me a long time to trace this down to the narcissistic/jezebel spirit. We know that the Devil has come to kill, steal, and destroy. We have lived through it. I am so grateful you are FREE! Me too. God bless you my friend, Diana
I think that I have been suffering from this spirit so please pray that the spirits will be broken. I hope my wishes would come true
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus! If you read this, please pray for me and my family! I’m going to expose the Jezebel spirit soon. Lord revealed to me in dreams, that this person (his name is Andrew) will be saved from Jezebel in Jesus name. I need the power of Holy Spirit and God’s annointing. I have to do, what He wants me to do, let no flesh speak, only the Spirit in me. I don’t want to feel any pride or anger. Help me, Lord!
God is with you V. The power of the blood of Jesus will break every chain of Jezebel in Jesus Name. I found some good prayers here – https://royalgirlz.com/how-to-wage-war-against-the-jezebel-spirit/
Thank you so much dianarasmussen! Blessings!
One thing to never do is repeating negative fears. As we add power to the words if we talk negativity of ourselves.
One thing to never do is thinking that the the bad will happen. If we wish for something but are afraid that the contrary may happen then you are adding power to what you don’t want. THOUGHTS DO HAVE POWER.JUST THINK THAT YOU WILL BE RESCUED THE SOONEST POSSIBLE IN THE NAME OF GOD.
One thing to do is reapeating the name of your god where ever you are so many times that god becomes more and more closer to the believers. Repeat the name of god so many times even while working or travelling that it will become like you always have the company of god with you. And you will see that god can do miracles.
Maya meaning illusion. Which prevents the humans see form the eyes of an enlighten soul.(prevents a person to see from the point of view of god).
Moksha means liberation/delivrance.
Karma means our deeds(good karma or bad karma).
Try in for yourselves, listen to this chalisa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0uAMs0Eppg
I came to know about this spirit and identified people from this category. Then I started listening to this prayer night and day. Its mother Parvati who takes her terrible form to frigtnen and kill demons so the earthly people(humans)can stay in peace on planet earth. She got to take the terrible form to kill the demons. Among the 40 verses there is a verse which says. THAT NO ONE CAN BE CONTROLLED WITH SPELLS IF WE HAVE THE PROTECTION OF MOTHER KALI.
After listening to this prayer my mind become uncluttered as to what was my really problem and discovered my own life happenings,effects, and causes. I started having answers to my questions.
May Jesus and Mother Kali conquer the spirit of Jezebel where ever it is. Amen.Tatastu. May Mother kali Continuously destroy every jezebel on planet earth tatastu. May Kali bless the Good people and protect every person from the Jezebel Spirit.
I am seeking some advice and prayers. I was raised by a Jezebel mother with a Ahab father and now an Ahab brother. I stood up to my Jezebel mother and told her that her behaviour towards myself and others was not okay. This created a tear in the family, she attempted to isolate and control me by telling me I was worthless and used threats, verbal abuse, fears to try keep me under her thumb. She sent a letter to my partner telling him I was mentally unwell, she has contacted friends to tell them I am a liar and unstable, she threatened to hire a private detective to follow me around. I have had people contacting me telling me I am a horrible daughter and should take care of my sick mother. I know in my heart that I tried everything I could to take care of my family, I tried to be everything my mother wanted me to be but it was never enough. I had to remove myself completely from my family. I’ve had to block her emails, texts, I am living in a different country where none of my family know my address but I still feel her. It’s a stronghold she has over me. I can sense her rage flare up against me and things start going bad in my life every time this happens, I get nightmares, my sleep is disrupted, I become depressed, things go wrong at work, I lose all my confidence and I start getting pain in my neck and shoulders from tension build up (the same pain that I only ever had while living under her roof). I have taken Jesus into my heart, I pray a lot and it eases the spiritual attacks but never takes them away completely. It only goes away when my Jezebel mother shifts her attention on to someone else. I am wondering if it’s possible to remove that stronghold for good? Should I seek help from a priest? I am not connected with a Church currently. Any help or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you, God bless.
If you would like for us to respond to this then we will pray and ask God to reveal a response to your concern. If not then we will kindly respect that.
Thank you for your prayers – God bless you too!
Please I am married to a man who shows all the signs of the Jezebel spirit in man not one characteristics are not him to the very T but it has torn my family apart and put me in such a far depression of suicidal thoughts along with drug abuse this is not normal in my character but have prayed desperately to God pleading for help because I don’t know what to do but either abandoning my marriage or myself in taking my life because I love my family too much and we are not bad people but they say misery loves company and boy dose it ,please pray for my family to become whole again to develop a stronger bond with love honesty, loyalty and faith in our Lord in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
We will pray for you. We (mom and I) grew up in a family like this. I was sexually abused for 12 years so I am very familiar with people like this. However growing up I to took on some Jezebel and Ahab also known as the generational curse. At this moment I want to focus on you. Many times I thought of suicidal thoughts and tried to take my life twice. I almost succeeded once and the EMT person did not understand why I did not die. I was NOT saved but God had plans for me and I did not know that at the time. God has a plan for you and one must believe that even though it does not look like it, He does. I had PAIN and lots of it and I went from one emotional roller coaster to next. I was always depressed and I grieved. Your HOPE is in JESUS CHRIST and everything else should be laid down by His side. Easier said than done, I know! Believe me I know what your feeling and what your going through, because I went through it myself. But JESUS found me and began to stir me up inside and I wanted something different and I did not want this TOXIC relationship anymore inside of me. We only have self-control through the Holy Spirit for ourselves. We cannot change another person and when we begin to change on the inside the relationship will be at WAR (different kind of war). You must pray for COURAGE and STRENGTH. To take your own life is allowing them to win. Satan comes to STEAL, KILL and DESTROY YOU!!!! JESUS came so that you may have life, peace and joy (among many others)! Jesus is the Victory and Satan is the destroyer. Today all you need to do is want to LIVE, want to be a COURAGEOUS woman of God, want to be BOLD and SEEK Jesus and His ways. Sometimes the evil is so overwhelming we begin to focus on that and then that becomes big and then even BIGGER. Turn your eyes from that, shut your ears, and you OWE HIM NOTHING!!! You are not responsible for your husband. Your his wife and the bible tells us what that role is, but when our mind is not sound we hear, believe and do what we think. This is just a grain of sand on a beach of a movement towards change. It is possible because of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY but we must take that step and believe we are created for a specific purpose and that Jesus loves you (no matter how you feel or see)! When the ways of this world are on your shoulders remember Jesus said “Matthew 11:28 Come to me and I will give you rest—all of you who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke. Wear my yoke—for it fits perfectly—and let me teach you; for I am gentle and humble, and you shall find rest for your souls; for I give you only light burdens.”
I hope God spoke to you through this and I pray LORD Jesus give her HOPE and Help her to know that you LOVE her unconditionally! And Jesus let her know that you don’t want her to live her life as such nor take it. Show her that you have a Purpose for her life and that her life is a time of choosing whom she is going to serve. Lord God I pray that you give her courage and wisdom to stand in you Lord and to make a difference for her children. Our hearts go out to you, God Bless in Jesus name Amen (so be it). You are more than welcome to contact us at livinghisword.org/contactus.php. Everything sent to us is private and for yours and our eyes only. YOUR ARE HIS (JESUS) COME TO HIM so that he may give you LIVING water.

Thank you beautiful. You know. And I agree with you. God bless you and thank you so much. Diana
The Lord will lead you and keep you safe. I had to focus on me and my relationship with the Lord. There were times I locked myself in my room just to be with the Lord. God is faithful. He is with you.
Thank you Kim for sharing your story. I too have had to sever some family relationships. It was hard, but like you, necessary for my mental health and freedom. I think once you see the power and control with the Jezebel Spirit it makes you more sensitive to the good as well as the bad. Memories can become strongholds. I had to renew my mind and trust God to deal with the Jezebels in my life. and Yes, all things are possible with God. The Blood of Jesus can break any curse or stronghold. His word helps me daily think right.l His word tells us we are chosen, we are loved, we are beautiful, and we are wanted. I refuse to believe the lies of the enemy any longer. As far as a Church – a body of believers – I would say yes, find a place where you can share your struggles. We all have ‘stuff’. We all need to pray for each other. Going to Church helps me know that I am not the only one going through ‘shit.’ Hearing the Word gives me strength and hope to go on. It’s a mess out there, but together we can get through this! Love and prayers for you, Diana
This video was removed from YouTube. How funny that it was removed after we watched it yesterday. My family has the Jezebel and Ahab spirit. Oh what fun, here we go and today is day 1.
I’ll take it off and leave my notes. Who knows what that’s about. Thank you!
Lol right :))

Thank you for sharing this. God bless you!
I have struggling through my life with the jezebel Spirit i really need prayers am 40 but i don’t have a man or am working and don’t have nothing to show off.
please pray for me: i have been a Christian for many years but have struggled greatly. Came from abusive home and mother had Jezebel spirit big time, then i ended up in a domestic violent relationship for 10 years? same spirit. As a Christian woman, the last thing i wanted to do was live with a non-Christian man (yet i seemed to have no power, and no way to say no-fear from past physical abuse from mother) this spirit has caused so much havoc in my life. I take responsibility for my life yet, it is so deceptive. Recently i met a man who again seems to have this same spirit operating in him. Thankfully, i have been able to recognize it, but still got affected greatly by it. I ended up sleeping with him and tried to suicide etc. It seems to me that i have absolutely no idea how to not get sucked in by this seductive spirit. As a child, having it dominate my life daily, i knew nothing else. I believe Jesus is setting me free in this area, yet i am needing support. I can see how my life would go steadily along (with some battles) then wham!!! i would get bamboozled with this spirit and do the most outrageous things, that i would not tolerate normally etc I become a complete doormat. My witness is destroyed and people don’t understand me because of the double standards etc. I am choosing to believe that Jesus is going to totally deliver me in this area as i submit to Him, and that He will show me how to overcome and not tolerate anything at all from this spirit. Will you please stand with me in prayer. Thank you
Standing with you sis. I was deceived as well. I can tell you that since I started reading the Word, Jesus has delivered me, is delivering me, and will deliver me from this spirit. I know He will do it for you too if you ask Him. The Word cut through the lies in my spirit. The Spirit of Truth lives inside of you. If it feels wrong, it is wrong. For me I had to make a choice. I had to be willing to leave. Idk if this will be your story, but I do know that God is faithful and will lead you through the dark waters no matter what. I was a doormat as well. But as I grew in God He gave me the strength to say no. Lean on Him and He will show you the truth. It may hurt. I had believed many lies. I thought that the Narcissist could love me like I loved him. Once I learned more, I realized that the Narcissist doesn’t know love and can’t love – their heart has been hardened.

I will continue to research this topic as it is something we all have dealt with at one time or another. God bless you and keep you my friend, Diana
thank you and AMEN IN THE NAME OF JESUS…
I want to start a big Company but there is a deep voice in me. which keeps telling me im gonna fail I really need prayers……
God will carry you through deep waters. Let Him lead and guide you.
Hi , My life is turned upside down by this demonic stronghold. Im a person that was along side a leader and through this spirit nearly destroyed her and our church. Ive now recognized this and have repented and desire to be fully delivered and set free to Love Jesus .
Can anyone offer any practical advise. Does what Pastor Robert was sharing in the video apply to just leaders that are attacked and influenced by this vile spirit.? What about the person that was used to bring down Godly people. And now sees the evil influence that it is and has repented.
Bless you
He who The Son sets free is free indeed! The best info I have found on the subject is Jennifer Leclair. You can find her insight at http://www.jenniferleclaire.org/
God will use you mightily to discern and kick this spirit out in many! Blessings, Diana
Its hard, an people will steal from you, lie to you, cheat on you. There is no avoiding it. But if you stay on top of it and remain humble and keep your head down, you will get to the end game where Jehovah wants you to be! Those voices by the way, know your worth and want to see you quit and never make it to their level so you can personally tell them to shut their mouths face to face, because those voices are real people, with real power who are watching you, knowing the value of your ideas beforehand! You may as well go all the way because they already know who you are now. All of them…I went through the same thing when this song came out nine years ago, lip-syncing in my mothers basement, in the dark, while my ex was out cheating on me at some club: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty0u1PzXfTo.

[…] recently received an interesting comment on a blog post about Jezebel. You can read it here – STOP TOLERATING THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT. A person thought that the Spirit of Jezebel was just about sex. I have not found that to be true. […]
STOP TRYING TO CONFUSE PEOPLE!
This is too sad. As a people we really know how to mess ourselves up. This article describes everybody at one point or another. They are called feelings, emotions and behavior which we are all predisposed to at one point or another. It’s the sin that Adam’s disobedience willed to us all. I have been labeled as having a Jezebel spirit a time or two. But I know that I belong to GOD! So that settles that. The Jezebel spirit is anyone or anything that tries to disguise or keep the truth of sexual immorality from being exposed. Anybody can be given over to manipulation or want to be in control and just because one keeps silent and don’t voice an opinion about what they think the Jezebel spirit it doesn’t mean that they don’t have it. In fact it probably means they do but know that if the say something, anything they will expose themselves.
The Jezebel spirit could care less whether it’s in control, in fact it would rather someone else be in control as long as it’s agenda is being carried out; that way they don’t have to take the fall and can continue to operate in destruction. The Jezebel spirit doesn’t seek to be in control it seeks to destroy through SEX: Whether it’s to destroy a family with incest; a community through rape or child molestation; to destroy a marriage through adultery; youthful innocence through fornication and teen pregnancy or the church itself once again through blatant adultery, homosexual tolerance and practice from the pulpit and pews “Sodom and Gomorrah.” STOP TRYING TO CONFUSE PEOPLE. The vague definition given caused them, and can cause anybody to think that they have a Jezebel spirit.
MOLESTATION, RAPE, INCEST, ADULTERY, FORNICATION, HOMOSEXUAL and yes even PORNOGRAPHY . . . . Unless you are or have been involved in such behavior without true repentance. That means you have sought to make amends to all injured parties, repented to GOD and turned from your wicked ways, accepting whatever punishment your behavior imputes, then you do not have a Jezebel spirit. The Jezebel spirit seeks to use whatever means possible to hide the truth of the SEXUAL intent of destruction.
There is a reason for the severe curses that GOD sets aside for sexual sins. It’s a stench in HIS nostril. Educate yourselves PROPERLY through the Word of GOD. Read the books of Deuteronomy, Leviticus and Proverbs.
There, I have given my brazen and bold opinion, guess that means I know it all and a have Jezebel spirit. Wrong!!! I am a rape incest survivor and you can trust and believe that the devil is not, in the least ways, pleased that I have made it through life to testify, let alone reveal the truth about him and his pitiful imps who have to prey on others, particularly, children.
Thank you for your thoughts. In my research both from Steve Sampson and Jennifer LeClaire it’s more than just sex – it’s power and control. Here is another article on how the Spirit of Jezebel operates: http://www.bible-knowledge.com/how-jezebel-spirit-will-operate/
Diana have been working with the homeless for 18 years and encountered someone with a Jezebel Spirit who nearly took me out. Started listening to John Paul Jackson and Robert Morris from Gateway and all of a sudden the lights went on in my heart. I did not realize how devastating this Spirit is. I am putting myself under the Gateway leadership team and discerning prayer warriors to walk me through this. As Robet Morris stated with his own testimony– I tolerated her Jezebel Spirit. Praise God for people like yourself who reach out to hurting hearts. I have my own business also called Grace Disability Services. I know Jesus is healing me so I can in turn help others heal from this Jezebel Spirit. Blessings on your ministry!!! Terri Byrd terri@gracedisability.com. 817-475-7239.
Thank you Terri, I will have to give them a listen. I am still learning here too. God bless you and your ministry, Diana
As Christians, if we want to be victorious over sins, we have to be willing to confront things that have the potential to lead us to sin. The thing that leads people to sin is tolerating evil thoughts that should have been rejected right away in their minds. So, we really have to invite God to cleanse us from the inside out of the deep things that we’re harboring inside of us that are contrary to His will for our lives.
Thank you my friend, amen!
[…] STOP TOLERATING THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT […]
I read that book Confronting Jezebel. Your blog was terrific!
Thank you Tamara – I have run into this spirit more than once, lol! Blessings, Diana
Bless you for this. Brought up a very bad experience, but so glad it’s over. During the entire experience, I kept thinking it was me. It wasn’t until it was over I realized it was her under the influence of the enemy. Now I am much more attuned to this spirit.
You give me hope Susan. I have been battling with this spirit for idk how long. And yes, it does make you feel like it’s our fault doesn’t it? I hate that! Talk about a blame shifter…when he talked about being exhausted, depressed, suicidal thoughts, etc. I never even thought about the jezebel spirit! I thought it was just me being ‘crazy’ again. I am glad you are out of it and better my friend, Diana
It was a difficult experience, Diana. I lived with a Christian woman who I thought was my friend. Rented space in her home. She was filled with anger and resentment over her divorce. Unfortunately, she ended up taking it all out on me because I was on permanent disability. She was working and resented it. Kept telling me she was “paying for me to stay at home.”
Things finally blew up at Obama’s second election. She gave me three week’s notice to move out. I was stunned, but recognized it wasn’t me. All that anger came from years of hurt that she couldn’t reconcile. She was angry with God and instead of leaning into Him, she turned away.
After that, she left our church, eventually sold her house and moved. I still pray for her. It’s very sad.
Diana, it’s like you are inside my head right now!
I needed this. I’m about to enter in to a family situation that is not exactly healthy.
I don’t want to go, but can’t find a reason not to.
I’m going to ask for prayer, prior to going next Saturday and clothe myself in Him.
I’m not going to worry about ‘controlling’ the situation, because that worry ends up controlling me.
This is a liberating teaching. Thank you.
I haven’t listened to the sermon, yet. But I will get to it later today.
P.S.S. When I read Psalms now, I don’t think of people outside of me as being the enemy, although I know that, by default, many people don’t choose to serve God so they serve Satan, even on a subtle level. I realize the greatest enemy is within and the Jezebel spirit or whatever spirits that make me “poor” need to go and only the Holy Spirit can do that and fill their absence (so they don’t come back). Thank God for that gift, which Jesus promised us.
P.S. I see a lot of those behaviors in myself, even though I’ve been born again (a year and some months ago). I will keep asking Holy Spirit to wash them out of me!
I couldn’t agree with you more. I want to pray with people, whenever, wherever they are. Yet I bring this up as I have found there are some who monopolize your time to serve them, not God. When self is glorified God is not on the throne.
As far as ministers, boss’s, friends…I have had to step back and ask God to reveal things. For me this is wise as I used to trust everyone with everything and I got burned, more than once. Things are not always as they appear. Early morning prayer and time with God alone will reveal the truth always…He is truth. God bless you on your journey. ask, seek, knock…He always answers, He promised!
But what if they’re your boss or landlord or minister or co-worker or immediate family? How do we not associate with them? I know all these feelings too well (went from getting up at 5 am and reading the Bible to sleeping in until 8 or 9 am lately). What bothers me most, Diana, is religious people who won’t pray over something together, even ministers! I finally realized MY personal minister is a woman up the street who will spontaneously take my hand and pray with me over anything that’s bothering me or we pray for others, whether it be over physical, emotional or spiritual issues. God has been calling me to be more like her in that matter. WE all need to encourage each other to remember God is sovereign and prayer (without ceasing) is the way to witness to that (lying deceitful lips, as we’re warned about in Proverbs, are really ones that witness to Satan’s sovereignty, and we all have them when we complain, whine, gossip, compare ourselves to others, speak of lack or don’t trust God). Jezebel tells you not to pray, especially spontaneously and publicly (somebody might SEE us). She says “just do it on Sunday, like a parrot, in ‘safe’ company.” I stumbled onto your blog entry right when I needed it. Thanks, Diana!
