The Jezebel Spirit

THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT

I feel persuaded at this time to share certain truths compiled from the writings of Francis Frangipane. I must state that I am not paraphrasing or sharing my thoughts but am copy pasting as originally stated in the book. This is necessary because of the controversy the sentences might generate. However I strongly feel that when this spirit is exposed in this elaborate manner, the wise among us might find deliverance while the rest will be for a witness. I know that all who have attempted to deal with this spirit have been under attack but that is what the whole faith is all about. So I encourage you to pray along with me and for me while we take this study together. Feel free to make contributions as we go along…

“Bear in mind that the spirit which produced Jezebel existed before its namesake was born. Although we refer to Jezebel as “she’ this spirit is without gender. However, it is important to note that while men in leadership are the main targets of most principalities, Jezebel is more attracted to the uniqueness of the female psyche in its sophisticated ability to manipulate without physical force.

Look for Jezebel to target women embittered against men, either through neglect or misuse of authority. This spirit operates through women who, because of insecurity, jealousy or vanity desire to dominate others. Jezebel is there behind the woman who publicly humiliates her husband with her tongue and thereafter controls him by his fear of public embarrassment”….[to be continued]

INTRODUCTION

Over the years, we have seen many of God’s anointed ministers fall to temptations of the Jezebel spirit. As the battle against this enemy rages, we feel the need to preface this study with a warning. Before presenting this topic to your congregation, it would be wise to teach about humility for a season. Humility will bring God’s grace into your congregation and prepare a way for escape for all who are under the influence of this spirit. The individuals who are being assaulted by this enemy will then be able to receive help.

Our prayer is that each of us will not only be delivered from the reign of the Jezebel spirit but inherit the morning star which Christ gives to those who overcome Jezebel.

DISCERNING THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL

We are going to confront a stronghold of immense proportions. It is a way of thinking that exists unchecked in most churches. We will expose and then destroy the hiding places of Jezebel.

UNDERSTANDING THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL

Rev2:20. When we speak of Jezebel, we are identifying the source in our society of obsessive sensuality, unbridled witchcraft and hatred for male authority. To understand the spirit of Jezebel. We must understand the genesis of this personality in the bible. The first mention of Jezebel is seen in the rebellious, manipulative wife of King Ahab. It was actually this spirit, operating through Queen Jezebel, which had caused over ten million Hebrews – all but seven thousand faithful souls – to bow down to Baal. Jezebel caused them to forsake the covenant, destroy the sacred altars and kill the prophets [1kings 19: 14-18]. This one spirit was almost totally responsible for corrupting an entire nation and this principality has come full force against the saints.

Jezebel is fiercely independent and intensely ambitious for pre-eminence and control. It is noteworthy that the name Jezebel literally translated means “without cohabitation’ . this simply means she refuses to live together or cohabit with anyone. Jezebel will not dwell with anyone unless she can control and dominate the relationship. When she seems submissive or servant like, it is only for the sake of gaining some strategic advantage. From her heart, she yields to no one.
