Page Suggestions: The Jezebel Spirit
Jezebel and Ahab Operating in the Church and Christian Families
*Will says that "Jezebel always seeks to destroy the Prophets"...I do not know any true prophets of God. The Bible, of course, is speaking about true prophets of God. If Will is referring to these phony Elijah List witches and warlocks then we have a major disagreement. -Admin-
PART 1 OF 3, Page 5
Jezebel always seeks to destroy the Prophets. She readily uses threats and fear to intimidate the weak but make no mistake the threats of VENGEANCE are for real but she enjoys seeing people cower to her authority and power. She will use her control and authority to keep the prophetic, or the ELIJAH ANOINTING*, out of operation in 'her church.' The prophetic will always be her enemy.
MANY times I've heard Pastors tell me of when they confronted a woman in the church operating in that spirit that they were told word-for-word, "I'll get you out of office and if that doesn't work I'll split this church apart!" The words they use don't vary much and even if they don't warn the Pastor they succeed in one of those 2 threats.
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, "It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!" Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, "Arise and eat." 1 Kings 19:4-8 (NKJV)
(verse 4) But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I [am] not better than my fathers.
(verse 5) And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise [and] eat.
(verse 6) And he looked, and, behold, [there was] a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
(verse 7) And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise [and] eat; because the journey [is] too great for thee.
(verse 8) And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.1 Kings 19 (KJV) verses 4-8
Jezebel prides herself in being able to make ANYONE pay who crosses her. Like many of todays Pastors and husbands they 'give into Jezebel' rather than risk the wrath/trouble/pain she will cause. Here Elijah was running from the armies of Jezebel. He was so fearful and tormented he prayed to die. Today, those called into the high offices of prophet or those who operate in the gifting of GOD they find it easier to keep quiet or 'go to the cave to hide.' The rejection and accusations continue against them until they eventually drop out of the church altogether.
And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" So he said, "I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life." 1 Kings 19:9-10 (NKJV)(verse 9) And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
(verse 10) And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.1 Kings 19 (KJV) verses 9-10
Because Prophets usually stand alone they fear trying to fulfill the things GOD has called them to do. It's bad enough when the servants of darkness attack you, but when they can't look to 'GOD's people' to stand for righteousness there seems no chance for their ministry to succeed.
MANY times I've heard those who could do the church the most good PRAY TO GOD TO DIE and GO TO HEAVEN since the church does not want their gifting or help. You must understand that even JESUS was rejected of man, accused of operating in the power of Lucifer and they attempted to kill him. Jesus was quoted by the Apostles in three of the gospels in saying:
'And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Luke 9:41And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.Luke 9 verse 41,
Matthew 17:17Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.Matthew 17 verse 17, and
Mark 9:19He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.Mark 9 verse 19
