I
n my over 20 years of ministry, there has been countless spirits and demons that I have personally been allowed by God’s grace to overcome in many people’s lives. There have been various kinds but none as dangerous as the spirit of Jezebel.
This book is as no other I have written because of the history of dealing with this spirit so many times over the years. I don’t think we need to take this lightly. I will repeat myself, but it is to bring clarity. Some need to read every word and study the scriptures supplied and some have received much revelation on this spirit and don’t need the foundational truths. I want to tell you, don’t just skim the surface because there is much that the Holy Spirit is releasing through this book. In the years, I have learned a great deal more about this principality, this strongman, and how it operates. After writing “Defeating the Demonic Realm” I never thought I would be releasing a book of this power again. I want you to understand failure to address the weaknesses and sinful responses have wreaked havoc in the lives of men and women everywhere.
In explaining the Jezebel principality, its history and how it operates. Jezebel spirit of control functions through leaders in positions of spiritual authority. I place strong emphasis on how a Jezebel spirit is genderless, this principality operates in both males and females—often differently, but without question doing its evil work in both genders.
All Christians must face up to the fact that their real battle is with their flesh. The power of the flesh, which is capable of opposing the Holy Spirit in all He wants to do, far exceeds the “power” of the enemy. Jesus has already dealt a death blow to Satan! Now He desires to rule from the throne He has established at the center of our lives. All flesh must submit to His Kingship.
God’s goal for each of us is maturity. He works with us to bring us to the fullness of His likeness.
Satan’s wiles; they are not new. They include twisting the truth of Scripture, fear mongering, manipulation of wounded egos and many more strategies that fill Jezebel’s bag of tricks. This principality uses all these to gain control through “little Jezebels,” whose mental repetition is I am always on my mind.
W
hether everyone will admit it or not we are in a war. The battle line has been drawn and we must stand up and fight when necessary. In this scripture the apostle Paul, speaking about the spiritual conflict believers in Christ constantly are engaged in, says these words in Ephesians 6:12:
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Make no mistake, though. We are at war. Princes and powers are real, and they love nothing better than for us to deny their influence and remain ignorant of their significance. When carnal Christians say that Paul is not speaking of the demonic realm when he teaches on it in Ephesians 6, and that these are not spiritual beings he refers to—personalities with a will of their own—I want to ask them which Christ they are following. Those who follow Jesus Christ, the Christ of the gospels, will engage their archenemies by wrestling with them in their walk in the Spirit. The Greek word arche, translated in the verse above as “rulers” or “principalities,” refers to those entities that have the highest rank in hell’s government under their leader, Satan.
Jezebel is more than the name of a wicked queen who lived at a time of great spiritual decline in the history of God’s chosen people. Jezebel is also a spiritual threat to those leaders whose assignment has been to nullify this demonic principality’s power in the earth. The prophet Elijah’s intense battle with this principality, this archenemy, is legendary. Elijah confronted Jezebel—both the human queen and the spiritual entity—at the height of his spiritual development, destroying her organized “system” that ruled the minds and behaviors of the masses, lulling them into a drunken stupor, leaving them blinded to the truth and demands of the Only Wise God.
Jezebel’s footprint appears many times in Scripture, and many times in history.
The Holy Spirit intends for you to be fully aware, fully equipped and fully furnished in this hour, because as it was in the days of Elijah, so it is today that a fresh move of God’s Spirit is stirring amongst the truly hungry. God is whispering in their hearts that Jezebel must come down. So I entreat you to give heed to the words of this book . . . it will take you a long way in the Spirit.
Y
ou wouldn’t believe all the different opinions about the spirit of Jezebel. There is a variety of opinions about what constitutes a Jezebel spirit, everything from a sexually loose woman to someone—man or woman who teaches false doctrine. The Bible does not mention a Jezebel spirit, although it has plenty to say about Jezebel herself.
Jezebel is found in 1st and 2nd Kings. She was the daughter of Ethbaal, king of Tyre/Sidon and priest of the cult of Baal, a cruel, sensuous and revolting false god whose worship involved sexual filth and lewdness. Ahab, king of Israel, married Jezebel and led the nation into Baal worship (1 Kings 16:31). Their reign over Israel is one of the saddest chapters in the history of God’s people.
There are two incidents in the life of Jezebel which characterize her and may define what is meant by the Jezebel spirit. One trait is her obsessive passion for domineering and controlling others, especially in the spiritual realm. When she became queen, she began a relentless campaign to rid Israel of all evidences of God’s worship. She ordered the killing of all the prophets of God (1 Kings 18:4, 13) and replaced their altars with those of Baal. Her strongest enemy was Elijah who demanded a contest on Mount Carmel between the powers of Israel’s Mighty One and the powers of Jezebel and the priests of Baal (1 Kings 18). Of course there was no contest, but despite hearing of the miraculous powers of God, Jezebel refused to repent and swore on her gods that she would pursue Elijah relentlessly and take his life. Her stubborn refusal to see and submit to the power of the living Elohim (Mighty One) would lead her to a hideous end (2 Kings 9:29-37).
The second incident involves a righteous man named Naboth who refused to sell to Ahab land adjoining the palace, rightly declaring that to sell his inheritance would be against God’s command (1 Kings 21:3; Leviticus 25:23). While Ahab sulked and fumed on his bed, Jezebel taunted him and ridiculed him for his weakness, then proceeded to have the innocent Naboth framed and stoned to death. Naboth’s sons were also stoned to death, so there would be no heirs and the land would revert to the possession of the king. Such a single-minded determination to have one’s way, no matter who is destroyed in the process, is a characteristic of the Jezebel spirit.
So infamous was Jezebel’s sexual immorality and idol worship that the Master Yeshua Himself refers to her in a warning to the church at Thyatira (Revelation 2:18-29). Most likely referring to a woman in the church who influenced it the same way Jezebel influenced Israel into idolatry and sexual immorality, the Lord declares to the Thyatirans that she is not to be tolerated. Whoever this woman was, like Jezebel she refused to repent of her immorality and her false teaching, and her fate was sealed. God cast her onto a sick bed, along with those who committed idolatry with her. The end for those who succumb to a Jezebel spirit is always death and destruction, both in the physical and the spiritual sense.
Perhaps the best way to define the Jezebel spirit is to say it characterizes anyone who acts in the same manner as Jezebel did, engaging in immorality, idolatry, false teaching and unrepentant sin. I want you to understand that it doesn’t end there. Many spirits just like Jezebel have risen in this day. She was more than a person.
I
f your reading this book, you probably realize that the Spirit of Jezebel does exist. It can be difficult for some to take the Biblical picture of Jezebel and place that in our lives today. Jezebel was an actual person. Jezebel, the Biblical character, first appears in First Kings 16, when she marries Ahab, king of Israel. Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal, the king and high priest of the Baal worshipping Sidonians. Baal worship was closely associated with obsessive sensuality and often involved sex acts. Jezebel, as a daughter of this perverse kingdom, was raised in an atmosphere where sex was a path to power and influence.
Ahab, King of Israel, was completely subdued and dominated by Jezebel (a type of modern man). Jezebel then introduced the worship of Ashtoroth to Israel. This god/goddess, represented the Canaanite culture of the moon, was a power-hungry goddess of love and sensuality. Priestess-prostitutes filled her shrines and serviced her worshippers. The lure of these legal, readily available erotic encounters was more than the men of Israel would resist. By Jezebel’s influence, most Israelites, the northern kingdom, left the worship of Yahweh for Baal and Ashtoroth. The prophet Elijah laments that only 7000 men in the entire nation were not swayed by her control.
The Jezebel spirit is born of witchcraft and rebellion. This demon is one of the most common spirits in operation today, both in the church and in the world, and it is a powerful enemy of the Body of Christ. She operates freely on sincere believers whose hearts are for the Lord individually, and has also attained positions of power as powers and principalities within the Church. This spirit establishes its stronghold primarily in women; however, many men have been victimized by it as well, where it functions as a “controlling” spirit.
The Spirit of Jezebel is basically a controlling spirit working through the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. It has, in general, two aims:
To gain identity, glory, recognition, power, and satisfy the need for the “praises of men.” This is a consequence of the desire for love and self-worth focused on SELF.
Secondly the Jezebel spirit is a men hater and seeks to emasculate all men, and deny them of their authority and power over others. It raises a distrust and hatred of men in general. The “Jezebel spirit” is in a constant agitation, terribly aggressive, very determined, callous, controlling, selfish, power hungry, manipulative, unrepentant, deceitful spirit, an overwhelmingly evil spirit, and those are mostly only it’s good points! Indeed this spirit can be definitely named “Satan’s woman”.
There are two main types of the Jezebel spirit:
The high-profile type is generally gregarious (very friendly and sociable), outspoken and highly visible. She is often seen as the “woman who wears the pants in the family”.
The low-profile type is soft-spoken, giving the illusion of being considerate (1. Expressing an attitude of concern and consideration 2. Full of eagerness to do something 3. Paying very careful attention to details), motherly, protective, even appearing very submissive.
This profile type may be the most dangerous, as she is the most difficult to discern. She relies heavily on manipulation for her power, in extremely subtle performances.
Here are some basic characteristics to look at and we will look at more later. Within these two main types there are two manifestations: the seducer and the cool.
The seducer uses any type of seduction available to gain control and power, as a method of manipulation but specializes in spiritual seduction to operate on both males and females. Her seduction usually uses subtle flattery and her seduction is spiritual fornication. Men are particularly blind and easy victims to the subtleties of this seduction, as she flatters them with her attention. Women seduced by the Jezebel spirit are blinded to their own seduction, as they do not expect it, or are not aware of such manipulation.
A good example of the cool Jezebel spirit personality can frequently be seen as the efficient (and often plain) executive assistant at the side of a powerful businessman or church leader. This Jezebel spirit often lacks a gregarious personality, but may be very outspoken and aggressive.
Some of this spirit’s features are as follows:
Deceiver
This spirit works in “private,” people outside her circle hardly know her maneuvering and are an easy pray for manipulation. Those that are possessed by her tend to defend her from any form of criticism. Like many men today defend feminism.
––––––––
Man-Hater
The Jezebel spirit hates men and majors in destroying them. She cannot have a true Godly relationship with men; because her desire is to strip them of all their perceived power and then destroy them, to emasculate them emotionally and spiritually.
Un-submitted
The Jezebel spirit reviles (despises and shows no respect for) authority over her. Building on “dislike of authority” (especially of men since they are frequently the authority figure) coupled with rebellion, she hates anyone placed in authority over her (particularly men), and seeks to destroy them and take their power. The Jezebel spirit sees herself as the “goddess on the pedestal.”
Power-Hungry
The Jezebel spirit is extremely power-hungry, respecting only power stronger than her own. She disdains or considers herself superior to anyone she perceives as having no power, or power less than hers. She works through her conquest to attain power over others.
Intelligent
This spirit from hell is very intelligent and finds very challenging to control and manipulate intellectually able people. She is able to manipulate them so well that actually they worship her.
Hard Worker
The Jezebel spirit frequently sees themselves as being “super achievers,” which sadly is admired both in the church and business world. She is also a master in hindering others to achieve anything, kind of: doing everything she can to prevent others from achieving their set goals and then criticizes them for not having achieved these aims.
Self Worship
Internally the Jezebel spirit worships herself even though externally she may portray a picture of humility and submission. She is very proud of herself and extremely vain, and in her pride can only talk about herself. They are usually very attractive and they use that to seduce their victims.
Jealous
She cannot suffer others getting attention over herself and she will do all she can to prevent others receiving attention and recognition. If one gets between the Jezebel spirit and the person she is trying to control, she’ll attack most viciously, trying her best to destroy that relationship with that person. She will try and destroy his reputation, undermine his authority and generally stop at nothing to separate anyone from her intended “victim.” Beware!
Manipulator
The Jezebel spirit uses other people as objects, where it suits her need, to gain control, influence and power. Once she has gained the control desired, she generally rejects and tosses the people aside. If they are in her family, she does this emotionally.
Queen Bee
The Jezebel spirit demands worship from others. She must have dominance and control in her home. Other family members exist just to please her. The Jezebel spirit requires “worship” from her family and followers ... to be their “goddess”.
Domineering
The Jezebel spirit is extremely authoritarian (“bossy”) by nature, though subtly with the low profile type. She is easily offended if her authority is questioned, and will often respond with extreme anger at even the slightest offence. She demands blind loyalty.
Unrealistic Expectations of Others
Her expectations of others are always unrealistic, because others cannot meet her demand for complete submission. If they do try, she despises them and casts them aside when she has what she wants out of them. Anyone attempting to relate to a person with this spirit is literally in a “no-win situation.” Nothing pleases this spirit.
Perfectionist
Perfectionism is a common characteristic of the Jezebel spirit, generating self-hatred in the victim, and a despising of others around her who fail to meet her exaggerated standards. This is part of the “unrealistic expectations” she has toward herself and others, but it is also an excuse for disrespect toward others, especially those in authority since they don’t “measure up” so she doesn’t have to show respect, of course.
Seduction, Control, Manipulation
Control and manipulation are the strongest parts of the Jezebel nature. These are “spirits of witchcraft” and are extremely dangerous! Nearly everything the Jezebel spirit does utilizes one or both spirits to attain her goal. The Jezebel spirit is the ultimate manipulator. The adulterous woman says:
Proverbs 30:20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
The first step in someone who has the Jezebel spirit is they work to control their victim by seduction. She will use flattery, smooth prophetic sayings, pleasant words and seducing tears. She views children in a marriage as tools and weapons to manipulate hubby and family.
She knows how to use deep emotional hurts and wounds to manipulate and control as she creates apparent deep ties with others. Jezebel loves to pull people unto herself and away from those who can truly speak into their lives. The Jezebel spirit flows best in a whirlwind of confusion and turmoil, where she works best.
––––––––
Shark
The Jezebel spirit is like a shark; she is most vicious and dangerous. She circles the lives of others looking for teachable, seducible, controllable, “disciples” of her own. The Jezebel spirit likes to birth spiritual children of her own as she looks for disciples to eat from her own table. She will look for those that are in rebellion, who are weak, wounded, or those who are contending, bucking, and fighting any established spiritual authority.
Possessive
The Jezebel spirit is very possessive and domineering; she wants to control over others. The Jezebel spirit loves power, “Give me, give me, give me.” You see, money is not really the issue with this spirit; it’s power and authority that she’s after. She likes to be in control of others life because she draws her strength from controlling others. She spiritually drains her victims. She uses faults or weaknesses she perceives in the person she is attempting to control to create feelings of shame or guilt, and therefore ultimately submission to her will. She also often uses fear and intimidation to manipulate others into submission to her.
Self-pity
She uses self-pity and her own weaknesses to manipulate another into submitting to her out of compassion or pity. Feeling sorry for those who has this Jezebel spirit, is not compassion, it’s foolishness!
Even though often very gifted of God, the Jezebel spirit will frequently operate in the false discernment of the enemy by speaking words of knowledge gained from familiar spirits, and NOT from the Spirit of Yahweh. This is “witchcraft.” The power of witchcraft is derived from Satan himself and every attempt at manipulation or control “sells out” more to Satan and strengthens the deception the Jezebel spirit is under.
She will even use prayer to manipulate the one she is attempting to control, especially audible prayed over that person to create the illusion, that doing Jezebel’s will is actually “obeying Yahweh,” or to generate fear or other emotion within the person which the Jezebel can then use for manipulation of them.
Wants Power
Those who have the Jezebel spirit are attracted to people of power like “moths to flames.” Often, a very intelligent, efficient, attractive, and even blatant Jezebel spirit can be found serving “at the feet” of prominent leaders, even in the church. The deception and/or seduction of the Jezebel spirit is often so successful that the leader does not recognize who is at his right hand. The Jezebel’s true desire is to gain the power from the person being served. If that person is prophetic in nature, the actual mission is to destroy them by any means available (destroy their credibility, undermine their authority, discredit their ministry, cause them to fall into sexual temptation, etc.).
Ambitious
Those that have the Jezebel spirit are desirous of “moving up the ladder” wherever they are, not that ambition is always “evil.” It’s just another character trait to look for. However, you simply will not find a humble, repentant, democratic and non-ambitious person who has the Jezebel spirit.
Convinced
While those who have the Jezebel spirit have a belief system that is obviously incorrect and evil, they are very firmly held beliefs.
Those with the Jezebel spirit are usually people of deep convictions. Many people controlled by the Jezebel spirit have a true heart for God and earnestly desire to serve Him. The original Jezebel spirit was devoutly religious, but was at total enmity (hostile) with God. She worshipped at the altar of Baal (worship of the flesh). Modern day Jezebel spirits may indeed believe they are serving the one true Mighty One/God; however, the true hidden agenda is “self-worship.” In many cases they have a Private Interpretation on the Bible, but they will vehemently insist they are correct.
Murmuring, Complaint, and Criticism
Murmuring and complaint and criticism a type of spirit very popular everywhere, especially in the church, which one of the spirits most used by the evil one. She uses criticism of perceived faults in others to build up her own self-esteem, and to justify her disobedience of, or lack of respect for, others. Because she tends to perfectionism, any fault she finds in others is grounds for disobeying their authority. She uses criticism as a tool to manipulate those around her, and along with murmuring and complaint, causes disagreement to weaken her opposition, thereby to gain control over, and to destroy them.
Lustful
Those with the Jezebel spirit have “lustful spirits” with lust for power being primary; their lust may be manifested sexually, if it will bring the desired result. The manifestation varies from a wife withholding sexual union from the husband for manipulative purposes, to utilizing sexual temptation to draw one more powerful into a compromised position that will cause their destruction or downfall.
The Jezebel spirit displays angry, vicious and sometimes violent behavior when opposed. She will turn on the one who refuses to do her will or submit to her (especially if she has been successful in manipulating this person in the past), frequently with a vicious, berating verbal attack aimed at humiliation. The emotional damage caused by these outbreaks can be devastating to the one at whom she directs her wrath. This is often the source of terrible emotional wounds for her children and spouse. When this angry behavior happens in public, it often exposes the true spirit in operation to others who may have been previously deceived. Watch for it.
Infirmities and Disease
The Jezebel spirit frequently enjoy people’s poor health, especially the “Low-profile” type. For them, it is a tool for attention, sympathy and other forms of manipulation. The tragedy is that this form of “invited infirmity” eventually leads to real physical problems, and becomes a part of the destruction wrought/worked on the host by this evil spirit, but it serves to further Jezebel’s ends, not to weaken her.
Have you ever felt insecure? Be careful, those with the Jezebel spirit love to investigate in the realm of insecurity. She will spot this in you “instantly” and then the seduction begins.
Destruction
In addition to destroying those around her, the Jezebel spirit especially hates the prey she is controlling (remember the mission of the Jezebel spirit is to kill the prophets: the victim is often herself anointed of God to be prophetic), and will ultimately cause her victim to self-destruct. This is referred to as the In the spirit realm, there are two applications:
1. The Jezebel spirit seeks to kill the male authority figures (or prophets) and
2. She seeks to kill her victim, which is mated to her when the Jezebel spirit takes control of their life.
Cursing
Those with the Jezebel spirit curse everyone, unwittingly bringing a curse upon themselves, most of the time. Criticism is a form of cursing, both of the person being criticized, and of God their Maker. Murmuring and complaint is a cursing of circumstances, which also curses God for allowing them. The Jezebel spirit is a master of criticism, murmuring and complaining, as mentioned previously. Often those whom she is at enmity (hostile) with are deliberately cursed in a conscious effort to “punish” and “bring them back into line” to bring them back under her control. The Jezebel spirit firmly believes she has right on her side in doing these things, and displays vicious and callous disregard for the well-being and independence of others, having convinced herself that it is ultimately for their good as well and that she knows best and really has their best interests at heart in doing so. Those people who have been on the receiving side of the Jezebel spirit have felt the curses, anger and viciousness of those curses and many surrender to them. However, for those under the “protection of the Stake/Cross”, these curses are most often transformed into blessings instead, leaving the Jezebel spirit sapped of emotional energy, frustrated, confused and completely defeated; wondering what went wrong?
Superiority Complex
The Jezebel spirit frequently perceives themselves as intellectually and spiritually superior to others, and “talk down” to others. This attitude is actually despising of others.
The Jezebel spirit absolutely hates and shuns Repentance and Humility.
