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. No matter who is speaking, Jezebel hates TRUTH. -Admin-

People Follow When They Believe They Will Receive Blessings
Then the Lord said to him: "Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria. "Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. "It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill. "Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him."
See? All but 7,000 Israelites turned from the "GOD of Abraham" to follow the gods of Baal. You can be sure they also claimed to be servants of the "most high GOD" but doubling their chances of receiving healing and financial blessings by serving more gods. "Straddling the fence" or as GOD calls it, "being lukewarm" disgusts GOD. He calls it an abomination, which makes HIM want to "spew" or "spue" those people from his mouth (kingdom). In the following scriptures, GOD is speaking to those in the church of Laodicea.
This is a message for TODAY's church:
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. Revelation 3:14-18
We see people, who claim to be "Christians" being led by horoscopes, visiting psychics, calling psychic hot-lines, and seeking psychic healing. According to a few of my Catholic acquaintances, or those who once were, many Catholics use/visit psychics especially those of Mexican or Puerto Rican dissent.
TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO CONFESS TO BE CHRISTIANS ARE LOOKING EVERYWHERE TO FIND BLESSINGS OF MORE MONEY, FINDING A MATE, MORE POSSESSIONS, BETTER JOBS, HEALTH and PHYISICAL HEALING. No different than the people of Israel.
Remember, IDOLATRY when looked up in the STRONGS CONCORDENCE mainly refers to HEALING. They are looking to other "gods" for "healing‟ their problems or giving them the "desires of their hearts." But there will come a day when GOD will initiate a plan, which will do the same thing he did in Elijah's time. HE will replace those who are serving Jezebel and her idols, doctrines of men and lies with those who are unknown but willing to do as GOD tells them. GOD will PROMOTE those who obediently serve HIM and then PROMOTE those unknown people who will do as they are told. Someone who is more afraid of NOT doing what GOD says than they are of what the "politically correct" in the church says. Someone who will stand-up and speak against the IDOLATRY in the churches they attend. [Please read the series IDOALTRY- Are GOD's people following Idols again? Part 1, 2 and 3. (Not available on this website.)]
I don't mean talking "behind the Pastor's back" or trying to cause division. I mean by trying to talk to the Pastor, then the elders/deacon board… or anyone else in a position of authority and simply keep asking, "Is this a problem we need to deal with?" "This is what I see. Please tell me if I'm wrong?" If that spirit of "witchcraft" and control are operating in that church then don't count on it doing any good.
Of course today, that will get you labeled as "rebellious" and get you the "left boot of fellowship." If they will not listen and you CLEARLY see the IDOLATRY and CONTROL going on in that church… it's time to move on. Don't cause problems, just move on. I get contacted at least once a month by someone in a church that works at controlling the members, serving doctrines of men and ignoring the "Great commission"
(verse 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
(verse 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
(verse 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
(verse 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
(verse 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
(verse 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.Mark 16 verses 15-20 or curses being spoken from the pulpit over those who would question their decisions or authority. Churches where the leadership have placed themselves in a position of being almost "un-approachable‟. I've seen churches where the members are told NOT to socialize at their homes after leaving church. The leadership is so afraid they will "talk" or "compare opinions," where they may see the "error." Leadership doesn't want to risk that. Yes, this REALLY happens in churches today! In the scriptures above, GOD appointed Elisha and Jehu, who were those kind of servants. They were willing to STAND UP to those in position and work to make things as GOD wanted them to be. Fearlessly. When they were under Elijah, they received that anointing as well, the "ANOINTING OF ELIJAH." You can see this today. When someone sits under an anointed man or woman of GOD their "anointing" transfers to them in measure. Jezebel's problems just multiplied. Here was two more servants who were not afraid of her and whatever she threatened to do. Jezebel HATES the prophets of GOD who bring truth and revelation of their darkness.
Ahab Defends on the Strong "Jezebel" to Pacify His Desires
As we Read this large text in Kings we'll see how the relationship between Jezebel and Ahab existed back then and still does today:
And it came to pass after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. So Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, "Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near, next to my house; and for it I will give you a vineyard better than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money." But Naboth said to Ahab, "The Lord forbid that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!" So Ahab went into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food. 1 Kings 21:1-4 (NKJV)(verse 1) And it came to pass after these things, [that] Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which [was] in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
(verse 2) And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it [is] near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; [or], if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
(verse 3) And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
(verse 4) And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.1 Kings 21 (KJV) verses 1-4
