UNDERSTANDING JEZEBEL (Transcript)

Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11
           Ephesians 6:12

Jezebel was the power behind the throne during the reign of King Ahab.
The spirit in Ahab's wife was not the King but it was the one ruling.
1 Kings 21:25
Ahab, Jezebel's husband was just a figure head King, he had no control, he was powerless to the spirit at work in his wife's life.

Jezebel was more than an ordinary woman as we will find out later on in the Bible.
The spirit in Ahab's wife is against God's program.
Revelation 2:20

Jezebel was a woman possessed by an evil spirit that is used as an agent of Satan to frustrate and destroy ministries, this spirit is used to control and seduce God's servants, it's a spirit that manipulates great and shinning destinies.
The evil spirit that was at work in Jezebel of the Old testament is still very much around today.
1Timothy 4:1,2  
2 Timothy 3:1-6
The end times will be difficult because of the type of spirits in the world.
This spirit is one of Satan's potent weapons and strategies to destroy individuals who are potent for the Kingdom of God, and is also used to destroy the names of people who are effective for God.
It is used to take away the platforms of ministers.
Revelation 12:4,9- Satan is still in the business of casting down God's stars.

Jezebel is Satan's weapon to destroy movements of God.
The Jezebel spirit is what brought the Welsh revival of 1904 to a tragic end when Evan Roberts the young man God used to kick start that revival was attacked by the Jezebel spirit.
He accepted a wrong doctrine from a certain lady evangelist, and it was down hill for him for a while before he retraced his steps.
However the Welsh revival waned because of this.
People attacked by the Jezebel spirit feel helpless, they feel their authority has been taken away and they can feel suicidal.
1 Kings 19:1-4

One of the operations of the Jezebel Spirit is seduction.
Seduction by wrong doctrines, seduction by sexual enticements, and the seduction of power.
The aim of the Jezebel spirit is in line with the devil's mandate of John 10:10
Every true church of God has to watch out for this spirit.
Every true minister of the gospel has to be aware of how the Jezebel spirit operates.

It is through people the Jezebel spirit operates.
It is a spirit sent to take people off the right course for their lives.
2 Kings 9:30, 31.
 It tried to get Jehu off course by 1) looks and 2) by words of intimidation.

A lot of times this spirit will come through people who seem to mean well and care about us.
It has always been the strategy of Satan to access people through those close to them.
Genesis 3:1-7, Matthew 10:36

The purpose of the Jezebel spirit is to derail God's people from their destinies.
This spirit works through the works of the flesh.
Galatians 5:19-21
The Jezebel spirit kills revivals.
The Jezebel spirit is what attacks ministers when they are at the height of their anointing.

It (Jezebel spirit) is the spirit of sexual promiscuity which causes God's servants to fall.
2 Kings 9:22
It is the spiritual force behind pornography and sexual orgies in many religions.
One of the major aims of the Jezebel spirit is to bring worship to Satan through false religion and worship.
1 Kings 16:30,31
Baal in scripture is Satan.
Satan has many names, titles, masks or disguises. Baal is one of them.

Characteristics Of The Jezebel Spirit
1) Wickedness:
1 Kings 18:4.
Satan used the spirit in this evil queen to ostracize and cut off the supply of God's people.

2) Control: wants people under it's control. If this spirit can't control a person , it will try to destroy that person.
1 Kings 21:5-16

3) Sexual promiscuity: Jezebel is called the 'mother' of harlots.
2 Kings 9:22
 Proverbs 7:10,11

4) Wrong doctrine: It is a spirit of religion, false religion, which keeps people bound to Satan.

5) Witchcraft: The Jezebel spirit is a very stubborn spirit that doesn't give up easily. It's a stubborn and destructive spirit. 2 Kings 9:22, 1 Samuel 15:23

6) Intimidation: This is what the spirit inside Ahab's queen tried to use on Elijah, and he fell for it.
1 Kings 19:2-4

How do we defeat the spirit of Jezebel?
a) Accept Jesus as Lord and savior- 2 Corinthians 5:17, Jesus is the one who can give us a new beginning from unclean spirits and an unhealthy past.

b) Use the Word- Luke 4:3-13 Jesus defeated the devil by the Word

c) Employ the anointing- Isaiah 10:27

d) The Blood Of Jesus- Revelation 12:11- The blood of Jesus is to be used by faith during prayer, and can also be administered by faith through the Holy communion.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination.
