December 24, 2021I have not actually read this book of Pastor Frangipane's as yet, but I do believe I am somewhat farmiliar with what a Jezebel spirit is, both from a Bible perspective and from what I have gleaned from other learned sources, one of which is found in the form of Francis Frangipane.
For those who are interested, I will be sharing my life testimony as it has been impressed upon myself to do so.
I, myself, like to read&hear of a fellow brother or sisters own personal testimonial ie their journey from out of the dark and into the Light and consequently onto the 'straight&narrow' path (with the Lord' Spirit to help light the way).
I am the second eldest of 5 children, who had a relatively happy childhood up until the age of around 10-11, where my siblings&myself were witness to our parents go through a very difficult&traumatic (for all concerned) break-down in their relationship, which was exacerbated by alcohol (dad) and mental illness (mother).
Needless to say, we went from being a relatively typical working class family unit to one that was out of control, as my dad would be so drunk most of the time and abusive to my mother that she spent long periods away from the family home, leaving all of us pretty much to our own devices (which was upsetting but also felt exciting at times as we did pretty much as we pleased).
If it were not for our wonderful social worker Dorothy 'Dot' Feather, most of us would have ended up in children's care homes (I thank God for this 'angel' that He used to keep us all out of serious danger).
I lost count the amount of times we went to juvenile courts for one reason or another, and it wasn't long before we were attending court for adults, mainly for charges concerning petty theft, affray, breaking into shops&warehouses and various petty drink&drug offences (we never committed crimes such as muggings, robberies, burglaries of people's houses etc).
I think it is fair to say that we were 'deprived' of our child-like innocence prematurely, this was most especially True of my younger brothers&sister (sadly).
I think we all have bitter-sweet memories of our childhoods.
One of my younger brothers did in fact do a stint in a young offenders institution for around 2 years. He was never quite the same person he was before he began his sentence and has never Truly been able to adapt and find his place in society to this day, I believe as a direct result of his term in this 'correctional' establishment, which was brutally 'run' by all accounts.
Moving swiftly along to the 90's and I never had a job through this decade as i was too busy partying and living a promiscuous lifestyle.
This was due to me having all the money that i needed through selling drugs, mostly hash&weed at first, but then speed, tabs, ecstasy and even cocaine (nothing else and only to a close circle of people whom I regarded as friends for the most part, which is probably why most of us never got caught in over 10 years as we never sold to strangers or in clubs).
I developed a habit for cocaine in the late 90's which almost 'consumed' me, as did my habitual binge drinking.
I decided that i wanted to change my life around come the turn of the millenium, and so took a job for £40 day labouring for a friend with a view to learning a trade in the building&construction agency. I was 33 years old and made a shed-load of mistakes (I learnt real quick and thankfully never had a serious issue until 2006, whereby an injury to my ankle resulted in myself taking stock of my life).
Much of the drinking and drug-taking abated but never disappeared entirely, as I would still occasionally get smashed and take many days to recover (literally).
Even after eventually being blessed with a child after many years of trying (we left it late and needed to pay for IVF treatment), I still would have the occasional night where I would get wasted (i praise the LORD GOD continually for the blessing of our son and for delivering me from my sinful&soulful nature).
It was around 2013 that i discovered by chance(? were you aware that there is 'no' Hebrew word for coincidence? Almighty God leaves 'nothing' to chance) that the world's currencies were printed&loaned at interest back to them (nations) that i realised instantly who, exactly, was pulling the strings behind the scenes of world politics&government and pretty much everything else of note, most especially the world's media and health institutions and of course military, but not enough sway over our collective consciences (yet, but I feel it will be coming soon).
This set me on a journey of discovery ie Truth, which has been anything but easy i can assure you as Satan the devil makes it incredibly difficult for us to discern&uncover meaningful Truth.
This statement is very True today unless you have been blessed with the realisation that it is, in fact, Almighty God along with His Son Jesus Christ, and that it is 'prayer in all Faith' which is the real answer to most, if not all of our worlds perceived problems.
When I think back on my past, i can't help but think¬ice how much i differed from pretty much everyone else that I know, including those of my siblings.
I dont mean differed as in 'special' different, just different in respect that i did not like liars and despised those who lied, even myself upon occasion.
I always put value on my 'word' and would go out of my way not to break my word if occasion required me too.
I rarely swore or profaned as most people appear to today, just for the sake of it.
I was never into unnatural sex ie sodomy or sharing, masochism etc or anything considered deviant.
A friend could rely on myself to be loyal to them in difficult times&circumstances.
I stayed away from other people's girlfriends and wives for the most part (I learned an early valuable lesson).
I would never get envious of what others had by way of 'whatever', be it a nice looking partner, car, house, whatever.
I will often say whatever it is that's on my mind, much to the chagrin of whoever it is that happens to be on the receiving end. Not meaning to be rude or controversial, just saying it as I see it 'plainly'.
I don't have hang-ups over money the way most people appear to have and consider myself considerate generally to other people's circumstances, especially the homeless&poor.
Despite the aforementioned, i have no doubt that there will be some individuals who would like to 'add' their own take on my character ie flaws (guys would often hate me for no apparent reason and I would often get into disputes).
No one has ever accused me of being a respecter of people's feelings (that I recall), often getting me into trouble with 'whoever' at that time (I don't mean to be insensitive, I've always been this way).
After searching for around 3 years for answers ie Truth, i was close to giving up due to all the disinformation Satan the devil puts in our way to dissuade us.
It was 'only' because my searching kept leading myself back to the Bible narrative that i eventually got curious enough to pray my first prayer 'in all Faith' which was Mathew 7:7 "Ask, and it shall be given; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened".......that i finally made some real headway with regards my search for answers and real meaningful Truth, for it was this which i requested of Lord God to reveal to me, which the Good Lord did in fact guide me too (and has been doing ever since to this day. Thank-you Lord Jesus for Your Spirit of Truth, which does indeed set us free, as per your Word, John 8:31-32).
So, it is now the beginning of 2018 and we have put our property up for sale. 2 years later it finally sells and for much lower than we had anticipated. I was totally skint the 2 years waiting to sell and I firmly believe (now, today) that God was teaching me humility (which worked if Truth be told).
The mother of my son and myself sadly parted ways after over 20yrs ( i recall telling her this was due to the fact 2 people with vastly different beliefs cannot walk the same path 2 Corinthians 6:14), but who knows what is around the corner? (Well, God does, but you get my point, right!)
I have learned that being a True follower of the Faith and 'all' that entails is a very, very lonely walk ie journey indeed.
People will 'hate' you for just the slightest mention of Jesus Christ or the good news of the Gospels (Mathew 10:22) and this stance is 'especially' True of close friends&family members (Mathew 10).
You will be 'tested' constantly by Lord God in all manner of situations&circumstances, from people 'challenging' you for witnessing, not wearing a mask, or just by staring at you or trying to provoke a reaction by being confrontational (usually drunk/demonised people).
You will find your 'world' getting smaller and ever diminishing.......this is because we are to come out from among them and be seperate (2 Corinthians 6:17), for the 'world' (Babylon) is that which will ultimately be the ruin&destruction of the vast majority of people (sadly).
Pass not through the broad way (Broadway, that place of entertainment, bright lights, thrills and all manner or debauchery&seediness).
But pass through the narrow gate, the straight path that leads to everlasting life (Mathew 7:13-14).
This 'testing' I believe is to help prepare you&i for the tough times ie 'trials' ahead (Hebrews 12:5-13) which i believe will be unlike 'anything' the world has ever experienced or seen before (Mathew 24) ie since the Great Deluge of Noah' time, around 2,350 BC.
Note that their is 'no' armour for our backs (it is called a breastplate) and I firmly believe we will 'all' as True followers of the Faith in Christ Jesus, be required (expected) to 'stand' and proclaim the Good News of the Gospel, come what may.
Please understand that 'nothing' can harm you 'unless' Almighty God allows it (Luke 21, Luke 10:19, "And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it ie The Church of Jesus Christ" Mathew 16:18 and "All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth" Mathew 28:18).
We are to 'endure' whatever needs to be endured in the name of Christ Jesus. Amen.
What 'is' the sin that cannot be forgiven ie that leads to death (but not just in this life, but in the all important eternal life).
It is my firm belief that it those people who 'know' to do good, but 'choose' to do evil ie hypocrites, that this vitally important issue is in reference too, but just a hunch on my part (but i believe it to be True).
Jesus Christ tells people many times to 'sin no more' after being healed of whatever it was that ailed them. So, this is a 'command' of Jesus Christ, and not to be taken likely.
Please read the Gospel of Jesus Christ and pay close attention to the commands of His, as these verses take precedent of 'all' others as far as i can discern (pay special attention to the 'verily, verily verses ie Truly, Truly).
"I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me" John 14:6
Mahatma Gandhi was 'the' most Christ-like individual I myself can compare to that of our Lord Jesus Christ. I find it utterly inconceivable that come The Day of our Lord (Judgement Day) that He will not let Gandhi (and those individuals akin to him) not enter through the 'narrow gate' of heaven on what appears to be a 'technicality'.......it is my humble but firm belief that it is 'that' which we harbour in our hearts and what comes out of our mouths ie defiles us, which will ultimately decide our fates ie which spiritual path, be it broad or straight and narrow, that we shall find ourselves journeying upon come The Day.......this is just my personal opinion though and I urge you to seek out your own answers here, it's important.
Concerning the verse John 1:4-5 "In HIM was life. And the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness; and the the darkness comprehendeth it not"
It has been impressed upon myself that this 'Light' is actually part of Almighty God ie Jesus Christ.......the verse Mathew 15:24 "I am not sent but unto the house of the lost sheep of Israel" is in refence to the 10 lost tribes of the House of Israel, which as i myself currently understand it is in reference to 'much' of the population of our world, be they somewhere in the America's, Europe, Australia, Africa, Near East or Far East Asia......."And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness unto all nations; and then the end shall come" Mathew 24:14
Which is the reason 'why' Lord Jesus tells us the parable of the 'lost sheep' in Mathew 10:11-14 (please go read).
Is this also the reason 'why' the Lord Jesus is also referred to as the Redeemer?
There is a very informative website entitled "The Assembly of Called Out Believers" with host Isaac Heckman, that has 48 video testimonies covering this vitally important issue and which provides us with both Biblical, physical and historically accurate evidences that the Lost Tribes of Israel are currently dispersed throughout our known world.
Lord God promised Abraham that He would make his (Abraham's) seed as numerous as the stars of the heavens in the night sky.
As there are only around 9 million people living in Israel at present, then this in itself is very strong evidence to suggest this is in fact very True (Lord God does not lie and His Word stands, Amen)
NOTE: Isaac Hickman does 'not' believe in the New Testament (sadly), so be forewarned here.
I feel it important to explain the 'changes' i have most definitely noticed and embraced since receiving the Spirit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and these changes have come 'super-naturally' for the most part, although i would say i am 'tempted' from time-to-time ie 'tested'.
1) the biggest change i noticed was my addiction to pornography. Even though i knew it was wrong and i was ashamed of myself for my participation in it, I still could not control myself physically from watching and the consequent act of masturbation.
I pleaded with Lord God to show me a 'sign' of what to do regarding help my addiction, and i was compelled to stop reading the Bible at the halway point of Psalms, and read the New Testament.
In Mathew 5:30 it reads thus, "And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body (soul and all) be cast into hell"
Needless to say, I fasted for three days and repented 'a lot'.......the effect of this was to be totally healed of my former addiction (akin to turning a tap off) and I have absolutely no desire to participate in porn any more. Amen and thank-you Lord Jesus for your grace and mercy.
2) the next biggest change I would say is to not want to listen to gangster crap, death metal, music with lyrics that talk God and Jesus and heaven in a bad light etc.
Music that gives off a bad vibe and message in general, and as such i listen to classical music mostly.
I don't even own a TV and have no plans to buy or posses one, as i know&understand how potentially poisonous they can be, especially for young impressionable minds.
3) football and sport in general. I used to be a big Chelsea fan and use to watch them without fail, going to 'The Bridge' many times a season to watch them live, but have not followed them for several years now.
I still hav'nt seen the champions league final where we actually one against Man City or even the England final against Italy (we lost on penalties again i heard).
Even F1 I have turned my back on, as it all seems contrived and fixed to me (poor Lewis Hamilton).
4) then there are the many different books&authors i used to read&follow, from Tolkien, David Eddings, Terry Brooks, Con Iggulden and my favourite author Bernard Cornwall, all of which I have pretty much put on the back-burner ie shelf, as i 'only' have a desire to read&learn about the Word of God. Amen.
5) up until around 3 years past and since the year 1990, I have kept dogs as companions and love their company dearly.
It has been impressed upon myself that dogs would not be suitable in my life at present, and so as such I live utterly alone, which is a new experience for me.
Dogs give the best of themselves to their owners ie unconditional love&affection, it is only proper&correct we as responsible, loving owners should return in kind to them.
6) I don't drink, smoke, take drugs, eat meat, or do hardly 'anything' really that I used to do before embracing the Word of God and confessing Him as Lord and Saviour, the only begotten Son of God in the flesh, who died on the cross and was buried and risen again on the third day. Amen.
I would 'strongly' suggest that it is the Lord Jesus's Spirit (please read of Book of Acts here) which is responsible for 'all' the positive changes in your 'new' self.
This Truth can be bourne-out by not just your own testimony, but that of the many other testimonies of 'new creations in Christ Jesus' (2 Corinthians 5:17).
It is important to note that even though you have the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ, that this is by no means a certainty that they will be passing through the 'narrow gate' ie into the Kingdom of Heaven.
"Not everyone who sayeth unto Me, Lord, Lord; will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but only the one who does the will of My Father" ie they who are obedient and keep His commandments, (Romans 6:16 "Know ye not that to whom ye offer yourselves as servants to obey, slaves ye are to whom ye obey; wether it be unto sin, leading to death; or obedience, unto righteousness"
It is 'pride' that will be the ultimate stumbling block ie pit/snare/trap that will be the ruin&downfall of many, many a professed follower of the Faith ie Jesus Christ, "And then I will profess unto them, I never new you: depart from Me ye workers of iniquity" Mathew 7:21
Wherever one cares to look diligently, it can be seen that it is sinful 'pride' at the root of all the worlds perceived problems.
The Jezebel spirit has its root in sinful pride as far as I can discern and the 'control&manipulation' of others, most especially those who are considered family&friends, who are most likely to be affected by this Jezebel spirit, very subtly and stealthily, that most hardly know&understand what it in fact is that is actually being done unto them by their professed brother, sister, mother, father, friend or 'whatever.'
Abiding in the Truth is for myself probably 'the' most important thing that sustains me in this material&physical world, for 'what' is more important than this, abiding in Truth?

I feel it important to explain the 'changes' i have most definitely noticed and embraced since receiving the Spirit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and these changes have come 'super-naturally' for the most part, although i would say i am 'tempted' from time-to-time ie 'tested'.
1) the biggest change i noticed was my addiction to pornography. Even though i knew it was wrong and i was ashamed of myself for my participation in it, I still could not control myself physically from watching and the consequent act of masturbation.
I pleaded with Lord God to show me a 'sign' of what to do regarding help my addiction, and i was compelled to stop reading the Bible at the halway point of Psalms, and read the New Testament.
In Mathew 5:30 it reads thus, "And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body (soul and all) be cast into hell"
Needless to say, I fasted for three days and repented 'a lot'.......the effect of this was to be totally healed of my former addiction (akin to turning a tap off) and I have absolutely no desire to participate in porn any more. Amen and thank-you Lord Jesus for your grace and mercy.
2) the next biggest change I would say is to not want to listen to gangster crap, death metal, music with lyrics that talk God and Jesus and heaven in a bad light etc.
Music that gives off a bad vibe and message in general, and as such i listen to classical music mostly.
I don't even own a TV and have no plans to buy or posses one, as i know&understand how potentially poisonous they can be, especially for young impressionable minds.
3) football and sport in general. I used to be a big Chelsea fan and use to watch them without fail, going to 'The Bridge' many times a season to watch them live, but have not followed them for several years now.
I still hav'nt seen the champions league final where we actually one against Man City or even the England final against Italy (we lost on penalties again i heard).
Even F1 I have turned my back on, as it all seems contrived and fixed to me (poor Lewis Hamilton).
4) then there are the many different books&authors i used to read&follow, from Tolkien, David Eddings, Terry Brooks, Con Iggulden and my favourite author Bernard Cornwall, all of which I have pretty much put on the back-burner ie shelf, as i 'only' have a desire to read&learn about the Word of God. Amen.
5) up until around 3 years past and since the year 1990, I have kept dogs as companions and love their company dearly.
It has been impressed upon myself that dogs would not be suitable in my life at present, and so as such I live utterly alone, which is a new experience for me.
Dogs give the best of themselves to their owners ie unconditional love&affection, it is only proper&correct we as responsible, loving owners should return in kind to them.
6) I don't drink, smoke, take drugs, eat meat, or do hardly 'anything' really that I used to do before embracing the Word of God and confessing Him as Lord and Saviour, the only begotten Son of God in the flesh, who died on the cross and was buried and risen again on the third day. Amen.
I would 'strongly' suggest that it is the Lord Jesus's Spirit (please read of Book of Acts here) which is responsible for 'all' the positive changes in your 'new' self.
This Truth can be bourne-out by not just your own testimony, but that of the many other testimonies of 'new creations in Christ Jesus' (2 Corinthians 5:17).
It is important to note that even though you have the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ, that this is by no means a certainty that they will be passing through the 'narrow gate' ie into the Kingdom of Heaven.
"Not everyone who sayeth unto Me, Lord, Lord; will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but only the one who does the will of My Father" ie they who are obedient and keep His commandments, (Romans 6:16 "Know ye not that to whom ye offer yourselves as servants to obey, slaves ye are to whom ye obey; wether it be unto sin, leading to death; or obedience, unto righteousness"
It is 'pride' that will be the ultimate stumbling block ie pit/snare/trap that will be the ruin&downfall of many, many a professed follower of the Faith ie Jesus Christ, "And then I will profess unto them, I never new you: depart from Me ye workers of iniquity" Mathew 7:21
Wherever one cares to look diligently, it can be seen that it is sinful 'pride' at the root of all the worlds perceived problems.
The Jezebel spirit has its root in sinful pride as far as I can discern and the 'control&manipulation' of others, most especially those who are considered family&friends, who are most likely to be affected by this Jezebel spirit, very subtly and stealthily, that most hardly know&understand what it in fact is that is actually being done unto them by their professed brother, sister, mother, father, friend or 'whatever.'
Abiding in the Truth is for myself probably 'the' most important thing that sustains me in this material&physical world, for 'what' is more important than this, abiding in Truth?

Small and easy-to-read introduction to the topic of the Jezebel spirit. A brief overview covering most of the major tactics as well as the agenda of this entity.

This was a short, easy, informative read on Jezebel's spirit. Favorite part was: "Today, even as God did with Elijah, Elisha, and John the Baptist, the Lord is raising up an Elijah company of prophets: spirit-filled men and women sent forth to prepare the way for the return of Christ." This quote came from chapter 2, my favorite chapter of all.
This spirit is powerful in the sense that you need more than prayers, need the spirit of Jesus to defeat such a deceptive, manipulative, controlling spirit from either sex even if they are in ministry. Other prophets can call them out, and prayers will bind up this spirit. I gathered a lot in this book to assist with my teachings in Feb on DYRP Midnight Hour on Feb. 8, 2013. (Talkshoe.com call ID:91725).
However, I will refer the book to get the full scope of this spirit since I can only teach some of it from the book as a whole.

A very simple, concise and informative read about the spirit of Jezebel that existed and still exists to corrupt and to mislead. I shudder at the thought that the Jezebelian spirit still exists so subtlely in our communities to insidiously cause division among people and separate us from God. An essential read to start becoming equipped in spiritual warfare.

Amazing to me how this booklet, written in 1989, speaks prophetically over the spiritual dimensions in America taking place over the past 30 years leading up to now. There is an answer to what is going on, and God is equipping us to wage effective warfare through such faithful teachers as Frangipane.

America. Leading home of the Jezebel spirit. Very interesting read. One that will probably offend most women but one might recognize almost everyone they know. Eventually that may lead to some personal reflection and awareness.

The Jezebel in YOU! Read it and Go ahead and be delivered!

All I can say is...wow! I don't have the words to describe what reading this book has done for me. Very eye opening and exciting!
