The subject is ‘THIS SPIRIT CALLED JEZEBEL -Part 1
The book of REVELATION chapter 2 verses 18 to 29
“And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like unto burnished brass: I know thy works, and thy love and faith and ministry and patience, and that thy last works are more than the first. But I have this against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. And I gave her time that she should repent; and she willeth not to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of her works. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto each one of you according to your works. But to you I say, to the rest that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who know not the deep things of Satan, as they are wont to say; I cast upon you none other burden. Nevertheless that which ye have, hold fast till I come. And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to shivers; as I also have received of my Father:
and I will give him the morning star. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches”
From the passage, we see the church of Thyatira, one of the seven Churches of the book of Revelation as shown to the Servant of God, John in Island of Patmos. They were commended for their works, charity, service,faith,patience and last deeds by the Son of God who has His eyes like a flame of fire and His feet like fine brass.
The last word in the passage shows that the Church outdid herself. Her works was greater toward the end of her lifetime than they were at the beginning.
What commendation!
BUT, there were some deep rooted problem as well.
This drew our attention.
What was the problem?
We see it in verse 20 of the passage.
“But I have this against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols”
The church allowed a germ which gave a big name to herself. God said, "that woman" is His problem. Her duty was to teach and seduce God's servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. No wonder, the holy God pronounced judgement against her and her followers. God gave a space for her repentance but she prefer to suffer by the hands of an angry God in the great tribulation.
Friend, I'm talking about the spirit of this woman.
One may ask " What? Jezebel? Didn't she die back in the book of second kings? How can this woman be threatening the church in Asia?
Obviously, the literal person of Jezebel was not present in Thyatira. The reference is a prophetic parallel. The influence in this city was under the spiritual control of the same demonic influences that controlled Jezebel of old.
We are living in a terrible moment and the spirit of this dangerous woman called Jezebel is at work in our age. Remember, I mentioned initially in our previous episode of the trumpeter that history has its usual way- it must always repeat itself and secondly, when any age is about to close, there is always a rise in wickedness and iniquity.
Jesus Christ in the passage read cancelled good works because of a refusal of a life, church and society to deal with the spirit of Jezebel.
So one of the highest spirits of the end time is that of Jezebel.
Who was Jezebel?
1st Kings chapter 16 verses 29 - 33
“And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years. And Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah above all that were before him. 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 Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. And Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him”
From the passage,we have seen that the woman, Jezebel was the daughter of Eth-Baal, the king of Sidon, the king and high priest of the Baal worshipping Sidonians. You should know that Baal worship was associated with obsessive sensuality and often involved sexual acts.So, Jezebel was raised in an atmosphere where sex was path to power and influence.She later became the queen of Ahab, the king of Israel. She grew up in a kingdom and finally landed in another kingdom. She had all the kingdom lifestyles, activities, intrigues, maneuvers and the politics of the palace in her fingertips.
Ahab, King of Israel was completely subdued and dominated by Jezebel. She then introduced the worship of Astheroth to Israel. This goddess, represented in Canaanite culture by the moon, was a power- hungry goddess of love and sensuality. Priestess-prostitues filled her shrines and serviced her worshippers. The men of Israel would not resist her erotic encounters. Can you imagine the over 10 million Israelites left the worship of Jehovah for Baal and Astheroth. Thank God for only seven thousand people in the entire nation who were not swayed by her control.
Friend, the physical figure called Jezebel had died long ago and buried according to the judgement of God but her spirit is still at work in many lives, families, churches and nations today. She is a great force at work and not just a physical being. It is the spirit of the end time propagating the false-agenda of the Antichrist, the soon coming dictator. So, there is a spiritually motivated "take-charge" woman that the Lord Jesus Christ calls Jezebel.
So,the spirit of Jezebel is here with us. We are now living during a strange and unusual time of uncertain length which the Bible calls "space to repent".
How can it be identified? Knowing all these things shall make you free in these dangerous time. Many things are unfolding in this last hour. Be on the watch so that you shall not be a victim of many Satanic agendas today.
In Part 1 of this message "This spirit called Jezebel", we shall search for it in our lives. Remember, although, it may be common to refer to Jezebel as "she", we obviously must conclude that as a spirit, Jezebel is gender neutral. The spirit can be seen in a man or woman.
Really, Jezebel is a spirit, but it has found access through un-crucified flesh. Ahab, the king would have been good, if not Jezebel. Friend, your spirit would've prospered if not your flesh which was Jezebel staying closer, monitoring the king. Jezebel means "co-habitation" meaning an attachment to your soul, striving over it.
How can one identify this spirit in an individual life, church or society in this final hour?
1. It is a spirit which can't admit a wrong.
Friend, when you fail to admit your wrong, this spirit is in operation. Jezebel spirit is never wrong, unless it is a temporary admittance of guilt to gain favor with someone. To accept responsibility would violate the core of pride and insecurity which it operates. What are we not seeing today?Some lives would brag in arrogant pride about murdering a little baby. Some people today promote evil and would never admit their wrong. Satan is deceiving them!
You should now know that a man who gave the world " Satanic Bible" which promotes satanism in some lives is wrong. The man "Anton Lavey" born in April 11th, 1930 was and still known as the father of Modern Satanism and was the creator and the High priest of the first Satanic Church in San Francisco, California. The church was created in April 30th, 1966 to celebrate man"s carnal beast that lived in the cosmos, motivated by the dark force known as Satan. When Lavey died, he leave the church of Satan under the commanding powers of the church's current high priestess, Blanche Burton.
Today, many people are practicing satanic teachings and believing the new age doctrines such as admittance of the so-called alternate lifestyles and re-incarnation. They are wrong. Friend, what do you believe and practice today?
2. It is a spirit which uses people to accomplish Satanic agenda.
The Jezebel's spirit lets others do its dirty work. Jezebel gets another persons emotions stirred up, then lets that person go into a rage. This spirit is clever in its agenda. The spirit of Jezebel is the one of the Antichrist. The enemy is sending many people for a work today. Many people are just happy slaves. People are satanically possessed. The symbols are everywhere. The celebrities and some politicians make signs of Baphomet and exchange secret handshakes. The world is going on! Is it not?
Friend, can't you read the handwriting on the world?
As you pursue for success and breakthroughs, are you ruled by this wicked spirit of the last days?
Maybe you still use people to accomplish satanic agenda or being used. You have to repent today before it becomes late.
3. It Volunteers for anything.
A Jezebel volunteers in order to establish control. He seemingly has endless energy and eagerly looks for opportunities to be in charge of projects. Although you may work hard but your motive is never pure. Jezebel's spirit control through manipulation.
Friend, if you have deep hatred for true spiritual authority, and use emotional pressure, witchcraft and obsessive sensuality in your pursuit for power, then this spirit is working in you. Some men of God are now using subtle persuasion to gain influence and get close to get what they want. Man of God, are you having your way in your ministry through manipulation? For cheap gain and covetousness, you twist some lies to get through. You may succeed here but you will regret later. I pity this generation and some of her preachers !
4. It is Living by wickedness.
The book of 1 Kings chapter 19 verses 1 - 2
“And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel send a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time”
Jezebel had the power to send a messenger to the prophet of God showing her wickedness. She sent word to Elijah the prophet sentencing him to death within 24hrs.It is a spirit displaying wickedness on the earth today. Some of our families and nations have sunk to the deepest depths of Satan. There are volumes of wickedness in our society and lives today. I see this spirit in people's lives, families and nations today.
When Bro Jeff King, the president of Christian Concern International told the world about how one of the communist government has murdered hundreds of tribal Christians to show her wickedness, only the wise understood him. Because of this end time spirit, a particular group were tortured by painful drug injections. The military personnel who administered the drugs were brutal to force the people "to not believe in Jesus"
One Christian reported,
"We all got sick and it was different from any kind of sickness we had before ever. Everyone who got sick had chest pains and pain in their forehead. Our legs and arms were cold and numb"
What wickedness!
Just few years ago, In this century, an International Solidarity. Groups purchased the freedom of five thousand, five hundred and fourteen slaves (5,514) in a devil-dominated nation, raising the total number of slaves freed through the organization to twenty thousand, nine hundred and sixty-one. (20.961) The price per slave was approximately fifty dollars.
The world is crazy. I can see the spirit of Jezebel here with us.
We now see wickedness everywhere- in the business lines, families, society even the church which were seen before, as the hope of a common man. By this spirit, we have records of hatred and injustice.
May God save his children!
5. It is a spirit Loving power.
In the kingdom of Israel, this spirit turned Ahab the king to a queen and made the amazon, Jezebel to a king. When you read the story of Ahab and the vineyard of Naboth in 1st kings Chapter 21 verses 5 to 7, you shall see how Jezebel pet the king.
1 kings 21 verses 5-7.
“ But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite”
Can you see her assurance and confidence!
Friend, when this spirit manifests, it goes with negative powers. Jezebel wrote a letter in the king’s name, sealed it with his seal and sent it to the elders and the nobles in the city for the execution of Naboth. Disobeying her order is a punishable crime.
What are we not seeing these days?
Today you hear of intimidation and oppression.
If you have ever wondered why so many women look so masculine and tough with lust to dominate, you have your answer. Friend, when you see such conditions as we are seeing, you know we are in that time which is said to be a "space to repent" which can also be called the "eve of destruction"
The Bible never directs us to seek power but rather wisdom and understanding.
Proverbs chapter 4 verse 7
“Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding”
The fear of The Lord is wisdom and to forsake evil is understanding. That is what Job said in the book of Job 28:28.
Do you fear The Lord or are you dominated by this spirit? I want to assist you to regain your freedom in The Lord.
Friend, I don't know where you are now, hearing my voice. Through this trumpeter series I'm calling your heart and mind back to your maker. It's not a time for hide and seek. We are talking about your eternal rest after your life here.One dangerous thing about hell is not it is burning with sulphur and brimstones or there are sounds of agony to be heard but it is a place to stay FOREVER. I repeat ' forever'
Friend,this message is coming to you now because you are not in the casket or grave yet. You still have an opportunity to repent and turn away for all your evils.
2 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 2 says;
“For he saith, At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee, And in a day of salvation did I succor thee: behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation)
Have you seen it? Now is the accepted time, the day of salvation.
Will you miss it?
Again, The Book of Isaiah chapter 55 verses 6 and 7 says;
“ Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon”
Surely, if you come to The Lord today, He will pardon your transgressions and make you a brand new person.
Are you ready to surrender your life to Jesus Christ if you have not done so and to follow him always?
Now,Repeat this prayer after me and believe it.
LORD JESUS, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORD.
I AM A SINNER.BUT BY FAITH, I VE ACCEPTED YOUR WORD INTO MY SPIRIT NOW.BE MY LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOR. GIVE ME POWER TO LIVE FOR YOU. THANK YOU LORD FOR SAVING MY SOUL.AMEN
Now, let me pray for you
LORD JESUS, I THANK YOU. YOU PROMISED NOT TO CAST AWAY ANYONE WHO COMES TO YOU. CANCEL THE NAME OF THIS PERSON WHO HAD PRAYED TO YOU FOR SALVATION FROM THE BOOK OF DEATH AND MARK IT INTO THE BOOK OF LIFE. GIVE HIM POWER OVER THE FLESH, THE DEVIL AND THE WORLD. THANK YOU LORD FOR ANSWERING US.Amen
