Jezebel

This is the first blog, with other’s following, on the subject of Jezebel of the Bible. Who she was, what her characteristics are, and the story relayed in scripture concerning her. There will also be correlations, comparisons, and signs to look for that define someone with a Jezebel spirit-and what that is.

The first introduction of her is in I Kings ch. 16:31

1Ki 16:30  And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him. 
 1Ki 16:31  And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. 

In verses 32-33, it tells of Ahab making an alter to Baal in Samaria, and they both worshiped Baal there.
She reveals herself to be one with a murdering spirit, in chapter 18:13. Obadiah tells Elijah he hid 150 prophets from her, when she slew many in Israel.

After Elijah kills 450 false prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, Jezebel proclaims his death warrant, and he runs for his life to Beersheba -then to Horeb. 1Kings 19:8-18

Along with this murdering spirit, she exhibits manipulation, and control when Naboth refuses to sell his vineyard to Ahab. She plots his death by setting him up in the eyes of the leaders, then has him falsely accused-and stoned to death. 1Kings ch. 21:1-16

Some of the main characteristics of Jezebel are:

Desires power, control, uses manipulation to get her way, an idol worshiper, licentious, works with a spirit of lust (lust can come in many forms-sex, and a compulsive desire for anything to fulfill her desires).

An overview of her evil practices in Israel:

1. Both she and Ahab served Canaanite idols- Baal and Ashtoreth. Baal represents the male sex organ-Ashtoreth the female sex organ.
2. She built pagan altars throughout Israel.
3. She raised up 850 occult priests, soothsayers and temple prostitutes.
The graphics below will give additional teaching about the Jezebel spirit.

​Her demonic influence was so great that of over 10 millions Israelites, only 7,000 were left that God considered faithful.

Note: The same spirit of Jezebel is now tearing down America. This is the same spirit working to destroy the foundations of this nation, and it’s godly heritage.

In Revelation ch. 2, Jesus exposes the Jezebel spirit in the church of Thyatira. He rebukes them for tolerating that woman Jezebel - who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and misleads Gods servants into sexual immorality, and to foods sacrificed to idols.

Over the last several generations, we’ve seen many TV evangelists, preachers, and leaders in churches destroyed by this spirit. It hasn’t stopped, it’s rampant throughout the country now-not only in churches but throughout society.

Adding to this-the Satanists, and Luciferians practice rituals many times a year, and in them; drink the blood, and sometimes eat the sacrifices they kill-animal and human. This too, is going on all over the country-and people in very high places are into this demonic idol worship-it goes all the way to the top of government elites.

The Catholic church is also into this, I’ll let you do your own research. I wouldn’t say this if it wasn’t true. Research what goes on in the basement of the Vatican.

Both men and women can have a Jezebel spirit. In the Bible, some who I believe had it were:

Absalom, Korah, Balaam, Simon the Sorcerer, Alexander the Coppersmith, and Herodias and her daughter Salome-who had John the Baptist beheaded. I also believe Herod had a spirit of Ahab-but I’ll have to wait till I get to heaven to have it shown to me, if I’m correct.

The Jezebel spirit works along with other spirits that torment people. It comes out in the form of manipulation, control, religion, perversion, lust, and scheming.

As a Christian, some points need to be made on handling someone with this spirit.

1. All of us at some point are susceptible to allowing this manipulating, controlling scheming to overtake us, and be unaware of it-until the Lord steps in, and starts to deal with us. This happened to me, right after I was saved. I thank God, he dealt with me consistently over a period of months, to show me I needed to be delivered from this, and other spirits I had allowed myself to be oppressed by. If anyone who has this, and is shown by the Holy Spirit they have it, they can be set free. The blood of Christ has the power to break every bondage.

2. However, if somebody has this who is unsaved, and continues to let it control them-the compulsion to control and manipulate will keep getting stronger in them, until it completely takes them over. At that stage, the primary way they relate to people-is to control them.

3. When it’s a man under the control of this spirit-many times it weakens them, both mentally and physically. They lose the ability to think rationally, focus on any one thing-or stay with anything long enough to be dependable. That’s why this spirit works mostly through women. They use seduction and enticement to accomplish their plans, it comes naturally to them. Sadly, I believe much of the out of control, rebellious and chaotic behavior by people today, is caused by this spirit.

4. People with a Jezebel spirit in them will also use other’s to achieve their goals. We see this in Jezebel setting up Naboth to be stoned to death, when he wouldn’t give the vineyard to Ahab. She wrote letters in Ahabs name, sent them to the leaders and elders of his city, telling them to proclaim a fast and lift up Naboth; then had him falsely accused in front of the leaders and they took him out, and stoned him.

This goes on all the time, at every level of society. If somebody in a community has the money, power, and influence-they can, and do use these tactics to destroy someone else who’s in their way. They can use their influence to get whole groups of people to stand with them, and support them-because they’ve learned how to bait these people to do what they want. If these same people didn’t have the money or power-they wouldn’t give them the time of day. Many people have no discernment of human character-it’s the blind leading the blind.

This evil behavior goes all the way to the top of businesses, churches, organizations, and governments; and untold numbers of innocent people are destroyed by these Jezebel manipulations and schemes.

Jesus came to set the captives free. However, a person with this spirit has to come to a place that they are willing, and able to see their own behavior-and how destructive it is, and really want to change. Only the Holy Spirit can do that.

This will end this part on the Jezebel spirit. In the next one, I’ll show how people can be falsely accused of having this spirit-when in reality, they are just strong minded, and strong in their convictions. In order to rightly discern when someone has this spirit-you need to know right from wrong-know your Bible, and know motives and intentions of peoples actions. This takes wisdom, patience, and asking God to show you the truth-and ask that you would not be deceived. This is the problem today-few do these steps, and make wrong assumptions. Observing behavior has to be lined up with what this person’s life is-consistently; to show us the persons true heart and spirit.

In the church God has raised up very strong anointed women of faith, such as Corrie ten Boom, Ruth, Ward Heflin, Kathryn Kuhlman, and others, and many strong intercessors.

These anointed women are examples, of others who will be raised up in these dark days- bold, fierce, determined, and often misunderstood.

But, they will know the Master, and only follow Him. They will know how to use the word of God as the weapon it’s meant to be, against the wiles of the devil. They will know how to appropriate the scriptures rightly-to put the devil where he belongs; under their feet.

With the strength, and love God gives; I strive to be in that number, and it matters not-if in obscurity. The greatest battles- are fought, and won, in the shadows, and in the night watches.
