"That woman Jezebel"
The Jezebel spirit seeks to hide itself, seduce,
intimidate, manipulate, murder and ruin reputations.
Some people talk about the "Jezebel spirit"
because this is the kind of spirit that was
working powerfully through Queen Jezebel
a Sidonian princess who married King Ahab of Israel, and killed so
many prophets of God. The woman Jezebel is mentioned also in
Revelation, chapter 2, verse 20 in the context of the church of
Thyatira. Here she is called a false prophetess, a teacher of sexual
immorality. It would seem here again that Jezebel is the name of a
person who comes under the influence of this spirit, because the Lord
says he gave her time to repent.
The Queen of Heaven/Spirit of Jezebel/Mystery Babylon/Harlot Spirit is a very religious spirit, but it promotes religious things that are contrary to God. Jezebel promotes fleshly indulgence amongst God's people and shuns the cross.
The Jezebel spirit is the enemy of the true prophets of the Lord. The book of Revelation has a chapter almost exclusively devoted to exposing this spirit - Chapter 17. In this chapter we read that the woman is drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. (Revelation 17:6). So this spirit especially hates and seeks to murder righteous people and those who speak faithfully the Word of the Lord, just as Jezebel the wife of Ahab was responsible for most of the true prophets of Yahweh in her day (1 Kings 18:13)
This evil power is also exposed in the book of Isaiah, chapter 47
"Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called Tender and delicate. 2Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, Take off the skirt, Uncover the thigh, Pass through the rivers. 3Your nakedness shall be uncovered, Yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, And I will not arbitrate with a man." 4As for our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel.
5"Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; For you shall no longer be called The Lady of Kingdoms. 6I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, And given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy; On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily. 7And you said, "I shall be a lady forever,' So that you did not take these things to heart, Nor remember the latter end of them.
8"Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures, Who dwell securely, Who say in your heart, "I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, Nor shall I know the loss of children'; 9But these two things shall come to you In a moment, in one day: The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness Because of the multitude of your sorceries, For the great abundance of your enchantments.
10 "For you have trusted in your wickedness; You have said, "No one sees me'; Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; And you have said in your heart, "I am, and there is no one else besides me.' 11Therefore evil shall come upon you; You shall not know from where it arises. And trouble shall fall upon you; You will not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, Which you shall not know.
12"Stand now with your enchantments And the multitude of your sorceries, In which you have labored from your youth-- Perhaps you will be able to profit, Perhaps you will prevail. 13You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, And the monthly prognosticators Stand up and save you From what shall come upon you. 14Behold, they shall be as stubble, The fire shall burn them; They shall not deliver themselves From the power of the flame; It shall not be a coal to be warmed by, Nor a fire to sit before! 15Thus shall they be to you With whom you have labored, Your merchants from your youth; They shall wander each one to his quarter. No one shall save you.
We are still dealing with this Babylonian spirit today. It is the spirit that takes captive the people of God. It is this spirit that caused the church to go into the bondage of Roman Catholicism for centuries. Note Revelation 17:9 - the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. It is a fact that Rome is built on seven hills. The same spirit which caused the Israelites to worship "the Queen of Heaven" mentioned in Jeremiah 44:17-19 and Jeremiah 7:18 is the one behind all the false mother/son religions that ever have been, including the Marian cult of the Roman Catholic Church. This spirit does lying wonders, such as making statues weep.
Jeremiah 7:18 says:
"The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger."
The true God is NOT happy with such worship to the Queen of Heaven. Why do Roman Catholics and so-called Orthodox Christians call Mary the "Queen of Heaven" and practically exalt her above Jesus in their art and theology? It is this same idolatrous spirit, taking a "christian" form.
But this harlot spirit has an influence beyond that of roman catholicism. Its influence extends into Hollywood and the TV programs Christians pollute their minds with, into the United Nations, and in fact into the whole global political, economical and religious system of the world which is now seeking to unite all people everywhere under the antichrist. It gets into the church as a spirit of ungodly control and seduction which encourages people to "live it up" in the world as long as they are submissive to the church leadership and don't move in the Holy Spirit. It seeks to kill the prophetic even in pentecostal churches, and this has happened in many places already.
To say 'No' to this spirit you will start to experience opposition in this life. You can dream along well enough and live a life of carnal pleasure, telling yourself you are Christian, without having too much trouble from this spirit, because in this way you are still held captive. Try to break free, and you will see what it is.
God has promised to judge and destroy this spirit and its works. This will not come without pain to the people of the world.
We may well be entering the season of this kind of judgment, with the collapse of economic systems. Yet, I believe that this Babylonian spirit has not yet come to the zenith of its power. We will have to persevere and endure for some time yet. Things may get worse before they can get better.
Even so, we can get the claws of Jezebel and Babylon out of our own lives. We do this by taking an uncompromising stand for truth in an age of religious expediency. We do it chiefly by embracing the cross. Those who do not are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction. (Philippians 3:18,19).
"18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--who set their mind on earthly things."
We have to be willing to actually suffer for Jesus if we want to defeat this evil power. It is by saying 'No' to the cravings of our flesh and to carnal ambition that we can be the true servants of the Lord in an age of "deep darkness" (Isaiah 60).
The cross is the place where we truly meet the Messiah. Any "anointing" which is not rooted in the cross is a false jezebel anointing. Such false anointings can be used to gather people together to hear what their itching ears want to hear (2 Timothy 4:3). And many are impressed because the people so gathered can be induced to give large amounts of money to the cause. This then multiplies the influence of this false spirit.
If we keep the cross central in our lives and our teaching, we will do much to escape this spirit. For their is no deliverance from its witchcraft and its sorceries on the fleshly side of the cross. The man who is dead and hid in God will escape her, but the ungodly and the fool will not.
The Jezebel spirit that operates in the Church is usually camouflaged much better than even the tares and false teachers. The Jezebel spirit controls someone who is most often in ministry and close to the headship.
Remember the biblical Jezebel was able to
mary the King and keep power even after his death through their sons who ascended the throne.
This is her agenda....power. She does not care if she gets it through back door politics or outright intimidation and controlling the people with witchcraft and false accusations. This spirit will help small problems and conflicts turn into divisions and wars. Jezebel will rage against any church growth and revival.
The Jezebel spirit seeks to hide itself, seduce,
intimidate, manipulate, murder and ruin reputations.

The Jezebel spirit that operates in the Church is usually camouflaged much better than even the tares and false teachers. The Jezebel spirit controls someone who is most often in ministry and close to the headship.
Remember the biblical Jezebel was able to
mary the King and keep power even after his death through their sons who ascended the throne.
This is her agenda....power. She does not care if she gets it through back door politics or outright intimidation and controlling the people with witchcraft and false accusations. This spirit will help small problems and conflicts turn into divisions and wars. Jezebel will rage against any church growth and revival.
A Jezebel 'spirit' will use lies, gossip, evil surmising, and flat out "false accusations" to achieve her agenda in controlling the groups and sub-groups (cliques) in the church.
From small and insignificant silly arguments (little foxes) to fomenting hatred and hostility against those she is threatened by.
When God sends a true prophet/preacher to help the ministry, she will immediately sense true anointing will expose her for what she is and her sins brought to light and begin her campaign to run them off by turning the people against them.
Jezebel hates God ordained authority! She will act submitted to the local headship, whether it is her relative or not...in most cases it will be spouse or child that is in leadership. She knows how to mimic the anointing, and often does so through music and or fleshly "rah-rah" cheer leading like preaching or testifying.
This spirit manifests a "crying spirit" quite often that seems authentic, but secretly takes pleasure in destroying those she feels are a threat to her "reign." She really believes she is a "prophetess" of God, but no one else recognizes her position, thus she is deceived it's lawful for her to manipulate and control behind the scenes.
Often in smaller congregations the women who are infected by this spirit will have spouses that will not be faithful in attendance /walk...because the Jezebel in these women want to maintain spiritual headship, and will overtly and sub-consciously keep their spouses from their biblical position. Or they will turn their spouse in leadership into their own puppet. Men who are infected will undermine leadership through holding back finances and never helping the ministry in "helps and administrations. Of course they will gossip with those also infected and murmur & complain, causing division and creating heresy.
There will always be many afflicted with both physical and mental conditions. Depression will be prevalent and anxieties rampant as well as sexual immorality. Should the Pastor or leader not be an "Ahab" that lets his "Queen" run things, he will probably be clueless that his wife called him to pastor and God did not! {Jeremiah 23}
Another major sign of the Jezebel spirit in ministry will be a "match-making of marriages." Not the harmless type where people like to see "lonely hearts" find love, but to help their agenda in manipulating and controlling for 'filthy lucre sake, and against scripture even "forbid to marry."
There will be other 'signs' when one looks closer and prays for discernment. While preaching against certain entertainment and worldly amusements, the Ahab/Jezebel family sneaks off and partakes of the forbidden activities. There will also be an attraction to "goddess worship" of worldly television and Media "Queens" who "creep into houses taking captive silly women, laden with sins, led away by divers lust." 2 Tim 3:6
There will also be reading material that has 'new age' "positive mental attitude" (PMA) influences and even science-fiction of the "Harry Potter/Witch &wardrobe" sort, which will reveal this spirit's leanings. Crystals,candles,incense, owls,frogs, unicorns, fantasy creatures and such-like will also be prevalent.
Also one can find unusual affinity towards things pertaining to "witchcraft" ie astrology, herbs and healing potions obtained from their "walking in the counsel of the ungodly." Psm 1:1...Behind the scenes Jezebel will teach the women how to "spike" their family's food with many of her concoctions and in some areas where "backwoods hoodoo" is present, recitation of 'spells' disguised as biblical blessings are used. The 'key' will be that things will be taught in secret that are not taught in open where the "Biblical studied" can hear.
A Jezebel spirit will not allow revival and Church growth if she and Ahab cannot get 100% of the Glory! The few evangelists that are allowed to hold meetings are usually the same "circuit" preachers who will cow-tow to her whims so they can come back for a paycheck.
This is this end-time "strong delusion" that will beset us if we are not prayed up and studied up in this hour! Many congregations are fighting this spirit at the very top levels of ministry where this spirit seeks to destroy 'CALLED' leadership vs ambitions of "that woman" and "The System" itself becomes Jezebel." "Queen of Heaven-Mother of God" is the title that "Simeramis" the Wife of Nimrod, took upon herself and all of the "System" of false religion sprang from it's systematic practice and occult sorcery. So when "the system" becomes "Queen" it is because "That woman Jezebel" has taken over the headship!
So what we see here as these two are connected,(Nico-lateans) is an AHAB & JEZEBEL ruling over God's Church.
From the Greek, 'Nico' means to rule over and conquer, and 'laitanes' means laity. So it is an oppressive usurping of God's authority over his flock instead of serving in love and humility.
While Ahab is seen as the "King" who proclaims the "Royal" edicts (suggested by the Queen) that the people must follow or be excommunicated etc...it is always Jezebel that is behind the scenes teaching and pointing to their "throne" as divine and offering position and rewards to faithful followers.
Jezebel hates a true prophet of God and will always try to control the "tongues and interpretations and prophetic uttering in the church. Since she has her spies everywhere, it seems her 'prophesying' is always on target..but not as the Spirit reveals. Those who are deceived because they are under her spell, are participating unfortunately in adultery and fornication (spiritually) by "worshiping" this heresy.
That is why it is so important not to receive accusations without 2 or 3 witnesses. Satan is the accuser of the brethren! Saints forgive and restore. Murderers hate their brother/sister when they repeat accusations and gossip.
The word is clear that in these last days God will send a "strong delusion" to those who love not the truth, and they shall believe a lie." Jesus commands us to love and forgive.",they that love me, obey my commandments."
Do not fall in with those who participate in destroying the vineyard...2 or 3 witnesses (eye witnesses) or I don't want to hear it!
We know the end of Jezebel! As Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of harlots dies at the hand of the nations that she seduced, so will those who give themselves over to this spirit in this hour. More and more in this last hour, "Jezebel' will be exposed and if saints who have played with her do not repent...they will be turned over reprobate into "The Apostasy" and believe a lie!
Because lust and greed are the 'controlling spirits' of these tandems, they will lead all that follow into hell with them when and if confronted with "The Mark" as they will never let go of their ill gained goods.
In ministries where the Pastor has good discernment, the Jezebel spirit will be less obvious and not many of the above signs can be noticed.
Because she ( Mystery Babylon/Jezebel) is "drunk with the blood of the saints....it's like the blood of Abel...crying out of her for justice that will condemn her to the lake of fire with the Beast and Dragon.
