Jezebel is a powerful and manipulating spirit appearing spiritual, but with false humility. The goal is to control those in pastoral leadership. Having impure motives, her demonic spirit seeks to gain popularity and favor with those who are influential. Her goal is to divide & destroy the church.
If allowed, her spirit can spread manifestations of lust, perversion, manipulation and mind control. While growing up in the church, I was always told that Jezebel was a seductress who sat in the front pews, wore red dresses and bright red lipstick. This is not true, her spirit can posses a woman or a man and is subtle and moves like a snake able to charm and spread her venom inconspicuously. Those bitten become her followers that she likes to call her children. These children will begin to operate in her spirit and spread lies, divisiveness, strife and commit sexual immorality.
This is what happens when she is allowed to run roughshod all over the church.
Growing up, I witnessed my grandfather (a pastor) start a church with people that were destitute, lonely and in dire need of help. People no one wanted: drug addicts, gang members, drunkards and prostitutes. The church was like a hospital where they came to get healed from the sickness found in this world. He served his community while outsiders were persecuting him for allowing the stench and improper dress to indwell the church. I admired the way he cared for these people.
Now that I’ve lived a while, it’s really hard to find someone serving the lost. Rather, we find pastors trying to fill their churches with status and clout. What they are doing is allowing the spirits to infiltrate the church through the cracks of vulnerability and compromise in leadership. The state of the church is in turmoil and disarray, being destroyed by entities from outside this world and there’s none more powerful than “The Spell of Jezebel”.
I needed this word. It was very enlightening and revealing. A Jezebel spirit with different personalities. That spirit has been running rampant. But thank God for the word.
