Re: Why is the "Jezebel spirit" concept mostly in Charismatic, Pentecostal, WOF circl
Lets have a closer look at Jezebel ...
Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD 1 Kings 18:4
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent 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 tomorrow about this time. 1 Kings 19:1,2
Jezebel....
Trying to silence people whom speak of God and His power.
Trying to silence people whom warn for idolatry, selfishness.
Trying to intimidate them by force and by using intimidating words.
Trodden Gods inheritance....
And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. 1 Kings 21:3
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. Marc 12:7 (They gladly kill Gods servants and Gods son.)
What is our inheritance?
Ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Ef 1:14
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, Eph 1:17 – 20
How do we treat our inheritance given by God? Or our brothers inheritance?
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Tim 3:2-5
Manipulating using Gods word.
Jezebel taking things in her own hand...by lying using her own way. Selfish and arrogant. Saying to others to use their own power to overrule others. No consideration, no mercy, no love......
And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: Iwill give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. 1 Kings 21:7
Jezebel using
bible talk next to lying witnesses to trick/break/kill someone else...
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. 1 Kings 21:9,10
God said: Ahab killed. Why? He could have stopped Jezebel but he let her possess him, possess the situation, and he wanted to possess his neighbors inheritance.
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it. And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine. And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD. 1 Kings 21:17-20
What fruits do we have? Evil like Ahab and Jezebel? Or good fruit? A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt (Jezebel) tree bring forth good fruit. Mat 7:18
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. Mat 12:25
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Luc 4:8
Don't say we have Luther or Calvin or John Paul Jackson as father.....bring forth the good fruit only......
And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. Marc 12:2
Good fruit:
But the fruit of the Spirit (our inheritance) is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Gal 5:22-25
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy Jac 3:17
The "works of Jezebel" are not gender-specific. Nor denominational.
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. Jer 12:10
