The Curse From The Seduction Of Jezebel. Notwithstanding, I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols (Revelation 2:20). Belial works with the spirit of Jezebel to seduce the servants of the Lord into fornication and idolatry. Jezebel can manifest through false teachings and is a seducing spirit. Again, the intent is to draw people away from the truth and cause them to go into error, causing bondage and curses and bringing upon them the judgment of God.
The spirit of Jezebel puts Christians following Christ into a 'fear' state,too, this is truth from Scripture where Elijah was hiding in a cave and did not want to live anymore, this means, Elijah wanted to die. THAT is how powerful an aversive feeling can become, and, we do NOT battle against flesh and blood, we battle against the principalities of DARKNESS, which are the demons, therefore, that is what's meant by Jezebel being a 'demon' in my above post. She is someone who is doing Satan's work, she is The Devil's
Her spirit is not of Christ, what I was trying to digest from stephenspeaks good thread is why a 'Jezebel spirit' would be seemingly doing good. I don't see this. I only have Scripture to relate from but I see nowhere that Jezebel did anything deceptive. She just flat-out KILLED 'the Lord's prophets' and that is why I say 'fear,' and, let's add, it's not just any fear that a demon of The Devil's can put us into, it is a 'deathly fear.'

Yes, unclefes, I do mean well, I was just answering what you said, about one who 'prophesies incorrectly,' there is no gRAY AREA, it is B&W , you will KNOW that something someone says is prophesying good for your church, or, you, by virtue of the fact it comes true. Something to keep in mind, too, what someone says to you may KEEP you from going toward a direction that would KILL or HURT you in life. So, by virtue of hearing their prophesying, you detour from where what may have been a discovery of pain, suffering, etc. that you would have went through had you not, ON FAITH, deviated from the WRONG path you were on.
Again, this is doctrine in a sense, but, it is FAITH, too, faith in His leading, a real life situation that we are to understand, I think, for our own lives NOW
Evil can, indeed, chase us !!! Hey, Eliljah wanted to die and very well may have just curled up in that cave , tired of the chasing of Jezebel after him, 'I can't take it anymore' is even what I believe Elijah said. To think ! Elijah was a WRECK, even AFTER having seen God bring that altar fire to life and debunked the Baal worshippers' gods and killed them worshippers too. It is AMAZING how much God does for us and we STILL can have a lack of faith !!! We humans !! Ugh!!!!!
But, God still Loves us
-------------------
It's important that we don't make this Jezebel spirit into some special case scenario, too, I think, we just need to realize that her spirit is alive and well in society today, it is a controlling spirit, it is a demeaning spirit, it is a spirit that wants to see you GIVE UP
Don't
Greater is He who is IN you than he (The Devil) who is in the world.
The Devil is NEVER in you, he is NOT with that power, only God can be IN US, but, The Devil's spirit DOES influence us to do things that we KNOW are wrong in having chosen Christ and IF you let those things beat you they will CRUSH your faith in Him, and, NO, I did not say your salvation. I just said, they will weaken you and where you go from there is, hopefully, on your knees, praying to God to help you, through faith, to return to His 'Love' influence for your life. IN Jesus' name I pray for His forgiving, encompassing power over your life, that you SEE, just like to the Israelites manna, direction, God is there for you, providing. Do NOT complain. Just go, by faith He's given you, be led by Him
The Lord leads
