Seduction, Deception & Control: The Jezebel Spirit-Part 1


Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.

-Revelation 2:20


In the WORD of God, the Lord addresses that in the last days there will be several false prophets and antichrists, who will rise up deceiving many, especially in the church.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

-Matthew 24:24

There are several spirits that try and plague the church (body of Christ) and attack it, because the enemy knows if he can mess up the house of God, he's really got a foothold-However for REAL prophets, ministers, and holy men and woman of God who walk with discernment, power and authority in JESUS name, they can see right through these spirits, EXPOSE them, ATTACK it, and cause it to FLEE!!!
 
One of the most cunning, deceptive, manipulative and downright evil spirits in our churches, workplaces and the like, is that of the JEZEBEL spirit. I can attest to this spirit because I came head-to-head with it and 
 was once a victim of it...

WHO WAS JEZEBEL?
I & II Kings
 
The story of Jezebel is found in the Bible in the Book of Kings. Jezebel was a queen who was married to King Ahab. Even though her husband was king she was the one who "wore the pants" in the family, to the point of control and manipulation. She was so crafty that she encouraged her husband to turn away from the one true living God and to turn to idols and false god worship instead. She was evil in its purest form and in turn persecuted God's people to their death. She used her seduction, deception and control to lead others to destruction and blaspheme God. 
  

But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
-1 Kings 21:25 

Even though the original queen Jezebel has long passed, there are still many people who are possessed by this same spirit and others like it and its wrath has caused devasting consequences to those who operate under it or who allow it to control and manipulate them. So much so, that those being controlled, by it who are even slave to it, may not even know their affected until its too late. Its only by the powerful BLOOD of Jesus that those who are subject to this spirit can break free from its bondage. 
This spirit sought to destroy me, and cause all kinds of chaos and confusion in my life and the lives of many I was close to, as well as in my relationships. It came to deceive, divide and destroy me and anyone else who posed a threat to its web of lies. But the Lord helped my eyes to open and to CONQUER it once and for ALL!

WHAT SHE DOES
 
...What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts [are so] many?
-2 Kings 9:22

Just like the enemy, those who operate under the influence of this spirit come only to steal, kill and destroy...only its very subtle at first, and very deceptive. The jezebel spirit is a spirit of witchcraft, and that if let in people's lives, or tolerated; can destroy everything from churches, marriages, quality relationships, families, jobs, and real deal ministries/prophets of God!-And the list goes on and on...Its as sneaky as a snake; a seductress, and is like a wolf in sheeps clothing. And once its done its bidding, the people who fall victim to it don't even know what hit them!


Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils...
-1 Timothy 4:1

It is so cunning and convincing that it can make others turn from the real ministers and prophets of God and the Bible, to believing them and embracing their deception. Its birthed out of rejection, insecurity, jealousy, wrath, and hate, to name a few-yet its not as blatant in its approach. It flatters and tells you everything you want to hear so that it can gain your trust and adoration.

"Well look at you! Aren't you just the greatest!"
"You are so pretty/handsome, you have sooooo much going for you!"

Though most people, in their right mind would compliment in this way, This is all the more reason why it makes her devices all the more sinister and hard to see...at least at first. However, her motives are nothing but a lie and sabotage, phony and fake-Less than genuine at its best!
 
Note I refer to this spirit as a "she" but this spirit is not only prevalent in women but can also be found in men, but if not found in a man, it will seek to control, effeminize and emasculate the man making him to be subject to an Ahab-type spirit. In fact she usually needs a Ahab spirit to operate and once she does, she takes FULL control. She seeks to control, manipulate and exalt herself and in turn draws strength from other people's weaknesses.



Don't let yourself be weak around this spirit, because she will come in so easily to try and help you, dote on you, flatter you, etc. only to draw closer and closer to you until she can squeeze the very life out of you by destroying everything that is important to you.
"Oh you poor thing, come over here and lets talk a while, tell me ALL about it."
"I totally understand...I can make things better."
"They couldn't possibly understand you...but I do."
"I can help you get STRONGER!"
Sad part about it is that it preys on the weak and broken-hearted to enter in. For those who aren't strong, are emotionally disturbed, or going through a challenging situation-it tries to take the place of their personal savior, isolate them from others to prevent other influences, and instead of directing the person to the one true living God which is Jesus Christ who can help them-They direct the "lost sheep" to rely solely on them as if their a god and the only one who can "save" them.
 
She is also very narcissistic and makes herself out to be a victim to gain others sympathy and allegiance, as well as to encourage them to be victimized as well so she can control them.
"Its everyone else's fault but mine!"
"I did everything right...I don't know what was wrong with him/her!?"
"To think that they would do this to ME!?"

HER DEVICES



For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
-Timothy 4:3-4
Another thing to note is that Jezebel creates eunuchs, minions, or guards to protect her deception and fight against anyone who may try and stand in her way. These are people that have usually fell victim to her stance, take a passive role/easily manipulated, or who are just like her themselves. Ever hear of "Birds of a Feather Flock Together," well that's an understatement, because when Jezebel gets in, she tries to amass her own army to fully extinguish God and his Word and those who stand for truth for fear of being exposed. 
And if she can convince men of God or those in authority to promote her that's all she needs. People will defend and protect this spirit even to the point of death or murder; sacrificing even their own loved ones, jobs and relationships (i.e. through separation, divorce, adultery, etc.), all at the hands of Jezebel and her "approval." She is a "World Class Dominatrix," a "Master of Manipulation"-who loves to dominate and control her victims to the point that they can't seem to survive with out her in their lives. She will even go so far as to excommunicate and discredit real prophets and people of God or the innocent to achieve her goals for TOTAL dominance! For her victims, She sucks them dry and leaves them with nothing but to wallow in their own vomit (pardon the pun-but real talk that's just how deep it is), or to make them fully reliant on her. 
My people perish from a lack of knowledge.
-Hosea 4:6
"I just don't know whats wrong with Sarah, she just hasn't been herself lately...She has a lot of problems-you should probably stay away from her."
"I know you think James is your friend and is great and all, but I think there's someone better for you, let me help you find him..."
"I know whats best for you, she doesn't-you should listen to me and not her because we all know she's crazy and doesn't know what she's talking about! Afterall look at her!?"

If a real prophet, man or woman of God stands up to her, best believe they will have to put up a fight and all of her servants/minions will jump on board to defend and protect her at all costs! If they don't remain steadfast she will flip the script on them and leave them begging for mercy with no remorse. She will have them wrapped, tied, tangled up around her little finger so well that they will be convinced that your the heresy/enemy and that she is a god! Sad but true, this spirit is taking over churches, businesses, even families all across the world-But thanks be to Jesus-through His blood we have the power to DEFEAT and CONQUER it!
Another thing to know about this spirit, is that it capitalizes off of others vulnerabilities, ignorance, and weaknesses, and will bring stuff up back up til your blue in the face! But she also likes to associate herself with those who hold more power or position than her so she may look credible, gain promotion, power, and INFLUENCE in hopes of deceiving more and more people.

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
-Psalm 1:1-6

HER GREATEST WEAKNESS
This is a sick, sad spirit, and though it may appear strong, it is just as weak as anything when compared to the real saints and prophets of God who can expose it! Just like any other demonic spirit like it, it remains absolutely POWERLESS to the blood of Jesus Christ and those who really take a stand for His kingdom! This spirit can be defeated and its victims can be delivered, but its so damaging that many people are usually never they same when the come back in contact with her, or escape from her wrath and if they don't seek the Lord for deliverance, they can be sucked right back into her trickery.
 
The world is promoting this same type of "Women (Jezebels) Run the World," complex and people are buying into the hype-but this doctrine and mindset is nothing but a blasphemy to God and is antichrist!
I will talk more about this in future parts...Be sure to stay tuned!

PRAYER
My prayer is that for those of you who have fell victim to this spirit or know others who have-that the Lord would grant you deliverance and healing from this stronghold in Jesus name. My prayer is that everything this spirit has tried to rob you of, that the Lord would bring back to you and cover you and it! 
For those who have lost relationships, marriages, homes, jobs, reputations, opportunities and anything else associated with this spirit, that the Lord would restore what was broken or lost. My prayer is that the Lord Jesus would save you and that through Him he would renew your mind and heart, giving you new eyes to see and new ears to hear with a strong spirit of discernment to know the motives of the enemy and the spirit of Jezebel. 
I pray that the Lord would cover and keep you and your loved ones from this spirit and give you ALL power over the enemy-through Jesus Christ to triumph over it completely! I bind and rebuke all actions, attacks and assignments of the enemy of this spirit over your lives and speak the Lord's redemption and deliverance in place of it! And for those who have found themselves in the position of Jezebel that they would repent and be delivered from this spirit of deception, them and everyone else associated with it!
In Jesus MIGHTY name I pray, 
Amen
