Jezebel and Ahab Operating in the Church and Christian Families

The witchcraft spirits allow them [KNOWLEDGE18. Is clairvoyant
Many who operate with a spirit of control also have a clairvoyant spirit. A Jezebel has supernatural help in knowning and sensing information. If he uses this against you, he may say "I can’t tell you how I know this. I just know it." This is not the Holy Spirit, but the help of a clairvoyant or familiar spirit. Clairvoyance may be defined as the power to perceive things that are out of the range of human senses.
-Steve Sampson, Confronting Jezebel-] and accuracy in giving "words of knowledge" [false prophesying to people!] into peoples lives. They may NOT have known what spirits were actually giving them the revelation when they started out but eventually they will see themselves that it is NOT GOD. These people, without a proper cover, tend to eventually fall into great error and speak of strange things. BUT I HAVE MET MANY MEN LIKE THAT AS WELL!
Even worse, those they minister to, who accept their "words" are DEFILED BY DIVINATION and will see things begin to "crumble around them" as well. Sure, those who are serving themselves and PRIDE usually find someone or an organization to ordain and back them with a 'spiritual covering' so the ministry looks 'in order' but when they're serving themselves the fruit will show this. Their preaching will clearly point this out. Not EVERYONE is fooled. Those who are "led by the spirit" or have "discerning of spirits" will sense quickly the error and will likely leave. Those who like the 'SHOW' and the 'edification' will stay. Remember, JEZEBEL WILL TELL EVERYONE WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR in order to control them.
I simply pray and seek GOD's response to each person who comes my way and ask HIM if they are called and what I should do. Anyone that is reading this who's received ministry from me can testify to this. Every leader in the church should do the same.
Not just because someone went to seminary or was ordained means they are TOTALLY "of GOD"! Not everyone who speaks an ACCURATE "word" is hearing ONLY from GOD!
As other teachings discuss some people (knowingly or un-knowingly) by "double-dipping." This means they START out operating in the true spirit of prophecy, word of knowledge or word of wisdom but after the anointing lifts they CONTINUE on making way for FAMILIAR SPIRITS or SPIRIT GUIDES to be used. This is when people become "Defiled by divination." The Jezebel spirit, a spirit of witchcraft, can come sneaking into a church totally un-noticed. More often than not they make it in the pulpit by an invitation. Just because someone operates in healing, deliverance, miracles or whatever, this does NOT mean they are 100% operating in GOD.
What God Said to the Church of Thyatira about Jezebel in Today's Church
And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Revelation 2:18-22
So, Those churches who are working with Jezebel operating in their churches will pay the price and will be cast with her into GREAT TRIBULATION. Jezebel calls herself a 'Prophetess' and operating in the gifts. She is 'accurate' on the things she hears and seems very aware of what is happening in the spirit realm. A good percentage of those women will not even know it is 'other spirits' they are operating in but the FRUITS of the spiritsRead Galatians 5:22-23 and Ephesians 5:9. are there. They KNOW they are FORCING their opinions and desires to be fulfilled and using their money and influence to gain that. I'm sure you understand from reading all the scriptures found in Part 1 of this series, that GOD calls the following false gods "fornicating" with them. HE sees this as someone "cheating on him" like a wife on her husband (or a husband on a wife). I mean, after all, we are the "BRIDE OF CHRIST!" Right!? He even repeatedly mentions that Israel "went whoring" after other gods. This was Israel‟s biggest sin and the Jews are still paying a price for that. Breaking legal rights for the "Sins of the Fathers is a GOOD thing, eh? Also, there are plenty of them sitting IN THE CHURCH pews who operate in literal witchcraft as well. And the answer to one of the most frequent questions I receive: "YES, they KNOW what they are doing!"
Jezebel Looking for a Position of Power in a Church
Jezebel may just want to be in leadership over the Praise and Worship, Bible Teaching, finances, children's ministry but most often it will be in a higher position where she can influence or PUSH her ideas. This does require some "leverage" to get someone to act in the role of "Ahab". The easiest way is either through social position, financial leverage or through beauty. Amazing how many "godly women" come to church in short dresses and low-cut dresses that occasionally (and "accidentally" expose some of their "assets." The next most desirable step is to be on the DEACON BOARD or an ELDER. Believe me, since I have attended churches where women filled at least ½ of those positions IT DOES HAPPEN!! Of course getting close to the Pastor affords the most influence and power. (If she can't BE the Pastor… and remember again, JEZEBEL can operate through a man.)
That leads us to the best way to have control over a church: And WHAT is the BEST WAY to INFLUENCE the Pastor? To be his wife of course. And MANY TIMES I've seen her 'GO AFTER THE PASTOR' which often leads to destroying a marriage. In the end she may possibly become the Pastors NEW wife and then she'll be in charge over ALL the things in the church… JUST LIKE THE JEZEBEL IN THE BIBLE! Did most of you know that LOVE SPELLS is one of the BIG attractions for those women drawn into the occult? Sadly, they do work. Especially when worked with curses against the current spouse (male or female).
Jezebel in the Role of Pastor's Wife
Jezebel often demands a place of authority over the Associate Pastor and even over the Pastor. She often secures her 'authority' by being in the role of the Pastors wife or has authority in decision making because she holds a significant position in the ministry or because of her large donations and financial blessings. When you see the wife in this role, which is where I have usually seen her, she can either operate in the background and SHOVE her husband into agreeing with her opinions/desires/agendas for the church based on her 'suggestions' or maybe to DEMAND time in the pulpit as doing part of the preaching/teaching. This includes time in the pulpit as well as pushing the Pastor into manipulating the deacon board to bend to her suggestions. I've seen situations where the pastors wife regularly SHOVES herself into the Sunday AM pulpit (over her husband) as well as frequently in the Sunday evening service and Wednesday night service over the Associate Pastor. The Associate Pastor becomes a greeter and/or 'errand boy.' He is used to run errands and follow-up contacting members missing from services or visiting sick people. He gets the dirty work.
