This thread is called The Jezebel Spirit because there's really no other name it's called by. There is no effort to be super spiritual by using this phrase, we're just using it as a point of reference.
In this thread, will be looking at traits and attitudes of the Jezebel spirit. We will be using writings from the Internet on this topic, and giving their addresses so that you can read them yourself.
*Note to readers: This is not a debate thread. Anyone wishing to speak against it can start their own thread. This is for those who are interested in the Jezebel spirit that either want to learn or add their knowledge to it. It is for educational purposes only. This thread is not meant to speak to/against any particular person/group/denomination.
Unmasking the Jezebel Spirit

*This thread does not promote this book nor the person evaluating it. It is for educational purposes only.
When a friend sent me this book, I must confess to approaching it with some considerable reservations. I have heard the term ‘Jezebel spirit’ being bandied around too often for comfort, and have seen all too many people chasing ‘shadows’. I found this book a revelation, however. It not only made sense of a number of situations we have been involved in ourselves, but explained what was going on with far more insight than we could possibly have done. It also alerts the Body of Christ to see just how widespread this problem really is. So far from being a case of ‘crying wolf,’ Jackson’s teaching unmasks some of the really serious ways by which churches and organisations are being undermined.
Jackson’s primary observation is that ‘Jezebel’ spirits most frequently infiltrate ministries that have a prophetic- intercessory edge. In all too many cases, the net result has been either to slow the movement right down or to cause it to grind to a complete halt. (emphasis mine)
Given the controversial nature of this subject, Jackson avoids falling into some gaping traps. For
example, it is often assumed that someone with a Jezebel spirit is invariably a woman, but he
takes great care to stress that this is by no means automatically the case. The longing to exercise
power and control is every bit as much a masculine trait as a feminine one. Jackson is equally
concerned to stress the difference between an immature person who prophesies imperfectly and a
genuine Jezebel spirit. It will not be his fault if people fall into the mistake of falsely accusing
one another of this phenomenon!
