UNDERSTANDING THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL – “Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols”. – Revelation 02:20
When we speak of Jezebel, we are identifying the source in our society of obsessive sensuality, unbridled witchcraft, and hatred for male authority. To understand the spirit of Jezebel, we must understand the genesis of this personality in the Bible. The first mention of Jezebel is seen in the rebellious, manipulative wife of King Ahab. It was actually this spirit, operating through Queen Jezebel, which had caused millions of Israelites from the northern ten tribes excluding the seven thousand faithful souls to bow to Baal. Under her control, these people had forsaken the covenant, destroyed the sacred altars, and killed the prophets ( 1 Kings 19:14-18 ). Think of it! This one spirit was almost totally responsible for corrupting an entire nation. And it is this principality that, today, has come full force against our nation.
