1 Kings 19:2 So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”
“The spirit of Jezebel”
The spirit of Jezebel operates in men and women. The distinct characteristics of the spirit of Jezebel are perversion, proliferation of false prophecies and persecution of the saints. It is an intimidating spirit that exerts itself through witchcraft, abuse of power and control. To understand the spirit of Jezebel we must delve deeper into the life of the wicked queen Jezebel, the Phoenician princess, and the wife of King Ahab.
Jezebel perverted the nation of Israel by introducing the detestable worship of Baal and Asherah, practicing harlotry, immorality and revelry. She also misused her authority to shed innocent blood by plotting the murder of an innocent man Naboth and plundering his inheritance. Most importantly she persecuted the prophets of God and killed anyone who opposed her. She served a death notice on Elijah, the fire breathing prophet of the Lord, and exasperated him with murderous threats.
The spirit of Jezebel is behind all occult, profane practices and control. Superstition, witchcraft, sorcery, black magic, astrology, horoscopes, zodiac signs, voodoo chants or magic charms are driven by this spirit. The violent force behind this spirit is “manipulation and control” by the misuse of authority, position and power.
This spirit can manifest in any of these aspects or can be a combination of perversion and persecution, and/or manipulation and control.
The spirit of Jezebel:
- Address: Call the spade a spade. Confront this spirit like Elijah—clothed and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
- Associate: Disassociate with any association or groups that refuse to accept and correct such behaviour; if not the corrupt, immoral and occultic views will infiltrate your family and bloodline.
- Anointing: Manipulation and unlawful control in homes, families and churches are driven by the spirit of Jezebel. Children manipulating parents or spouses controlling their homes with tears or tyranny are evidence that the spirit is in operation. Anointing will mutilate the spine of this spirit from destroying the unity of the family.
“Anointing annihilates the spirit of Jezebel”.
Prayer: Dear Holy Father, help me to identify, address and drive out the spirit of Jezebel from my life. Amen.
