FINAL on Jezebel

THE SOUTH WIND IS FOR DEMONS… THE EAST WIND IS FOR PEOPLE…

Jezebels have positioned their life in such a way that this is all they know…
1. Manipulation -
WHEN CONFRONTED THEY: play the victim and do not see it as manipulation.

2. Intimidation -
WHEN CONFRONTED THEY: have emotional outbursts.

3. Domination -
WHEN CONFRONTED THEY: bring accusation against those bringing correction.

Revelation 2:20
20 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…

Elijah = supernaturally assertive. Stands ground. Demands God’s way.

Suffereth = eaó - reluctance, put up with, Ea - the root is the exclamation of “UGH!”

If you don’t STEP UP and REFUSE SOME CONVERSATIONS and SET UP BOUNDARIES
what ends up happening is that you allow someone to:

First - PROPHESY A natural gift with a poisoned heart will poison.

Matthew 12:34
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

1 Corinthians 14:32
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.”

Subject:
hupotassó - hypo= under
tasso = arranged

Proverbs 4:23
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

“Keep” = natsar - Guard like a watchman
“Diligence” = mishmar - a prisoner on constant 24/7 watch.
“For out of it flow” = totsaah - escapes from it.
“Chay” = alive, wild beast, appetite

WHAT IS SIMPLE PROPHESY?

• Edification
• Exhortation
• Comfort

WHAT IS POISON PROPHESY?

• Obfuscation - where edification is building up with wisdom. Obfuscation is to confuse, to make things more difficult than they have to be, to have to make a BIG DEAL about everything…
• Dissuasion - where exhortation is to push someone forward with encouragement. Dissuasion is the state of trying to convince people to not put in their effort. To step closer to apathy.
• Frustration - Where comfort is there to help people move forward… poisonous prophesy is to make people feel uneasy… to have an atmosphere of frustration in the air.

Second - TEACH
The word teach in Revelation 2:20 is talking about discipling.
If they are allowed to continue - they will disciple others the same way.

THREE WAYS TO DESTROY THE PLATFORM OF JEZEBEL

• DISCERN
• DECREE
• DISMANTLE

6 THINGS JEZEBEL TRIES TO CONTROL AND 3 WAYS WE DEFEAT IT:

1.

– people, friend groups, families, work groups, church groups

• BE QUICK TO SEE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALONE AND ENGAGE THEM.
• NOTICE WHEN JEZEBELS ARE CREATING CLIQUES AND GROUPS FOR GOSSIP AND COMPLAINT MEETINGS.

PRAY FOR THE DISMANTLING OF FRIENDSHIPS AND ALLIANCES THAT ARE PURPOSED FOR DESTRUCTION.

DISCERN - any group that is created or centered around being AGAINST a particular person… or COMPLAINING about a particular institution - is influenced or ruled by a JEZEBEL.

DECREE - you have to SPEAK.
DISMANTLE - It takes BOLDNESS and WISDOM to dismantle Jezebels in groups.

Matthew 18:15
15 If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back.

• PRIVATELY
• PERSONALLY
• PROACTIVELY

2.

– Israel “queen”, church at Thyatira declared herself “a prophetess”.

• THEY WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN EVERYTHING… BUT FIGHT WHENEVER THEIR WAY IS NOT BEING DONE.
• THEY WANT SPECIAL SEATS, SPECIAL PRIVILEDGES AND SPECIAL TREATMENT.

DISCERN

• anyone who comes to you and every time they DO their words are just complaining…
• anyone who wants to be in charge of something, but will not work with anyone else…

DECREE

• I am wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove.
• I see through lies and manipulation / intimidation.
• The Holy Spirit teaches me all things and opens my eyes to lies.

DISMANTLE
People who are fighting for recognition, position or their way being done must be sat down. Although they may not be a Jezebel.

3.

– The Jezebel (he or she) does the talking. Last word.

DISCERN -
When you cannot get a word in until they feel like they have said what they need to to damage you or manipulate the situation or conversation to their advantage…

DECREE
I am bold, I am wise, I will not allow others to talk over me or talk against my character or my anointing.

DISMANTLE
REFUSE to allow others to emotionally, vocally or physically dominate a conversation:

• Call it out when you see it.

• Do not match their emotional level.

• End the conversation if you need to.

4.

– Collecting information but not sharing it…

DISCERN
You have NO REASON to believe ANYTHING someone says without evidence.
DECREE
The Holy Spirit guides my understanding.
DISMANTLE
Demand evidence. DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO SPEAK AGAINST YOU OR ANYONE ELSE WITH NO EVIDENCE.

5.

– paid mob of 850 prophets of Baal/Asherah. Stir up masses.

DISCERN
Look for people who are quick to create tight cliques for the purpose of airing their grievances and issues.
Jezebel will infect a group quickly.

DECREE
DISMANTLE

6.

– always being late, never making deadlines.

1 Kings 19:2 TLB
2 she sent this message to Elijah: “You killed my prophets, and now I swear by the gods that I am going to kill you by this time tomorrow night.”

DISCERN - If someone is constantly late - ask why. Be proactive and engage.
DECREE - I will not be blinded from those who steal from time. I see ways to increase time management during this season.
DISMANTLE - Alleviate excuses. HOW can I help destroy the excuses you have?
