We are walking in today: The Spirit of Insecurity--The Weaving Of The Web
Teaching from the book: Unmasking the Jezebel Spirit, by John Paul Jackson
Witness insecure throughout the Bible: Insecure: 1) of a person ) one who is not confident or assured, uncertain and anxious. 2) of a thing) something which is not firm or set; basically unsafe.

2 Chronicles 15:4-6
2 Samuel 15:14 David said to all his servants with him in Yerushalayim, “Get up! We must flee! Otherwise none of us will escape from Avshalom. Hurry, and leave; or he will soon overtake us, attack us and put the city to the sword.” - CJB
Revelation 2:19-21 I know what you are doing, your love, trust, service and perseverance. And I know that you are doing more now than before. But I have this against you: you continue to tolerate that Izevel woman, the one who claims to be a prophet, but is teaching and deceiving my servants to commit sexual sin and eat food that has been sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to turn from her sin, but she doesn’t want to repent of her immorality. -CJB
In the churches both great and small, are targets for the Jezebel spirit. The goal of systematically dismantling any authoritative position held in the church--is the Jezebel spirit's goal. The approach of the Jezebel spirit may vary, but the characteristics are the same. So subtle are these characteristics, a person can be unaware of the Jezebel spirit operating within them. While they may be immature in the walk of life, but matured and operated in the Jezebel spirit. They always appear more spiritual than they actually are--they are never wrong, always right. If you are tying to win a argument against a person under the influence of Jezebel spirit--your in for a word play battle.
People under the influence of the Jezebel spirit, generally carry signs and symptoms three or more is the rule of thumb. Be aware, these traits are not easily detected.
When the Jezebel spirit shows up in a man, often appears as passive. Men who are under the influence of Jezebel seek false leadership. They seek to take over what is not rightfully theirs. A competition that no else knows about, a competitive spirit who's ultimate goal is to steal and destroy. Just like Absalom the son of David, who desired to be king instead of his father. He went into deceit and trickery to gain the hearts of the people, but his exposure caused him a humiliating death. Thus is the fate of many operating in the Jezebel spirit.
2 Samuel 15:4-6 Then Avshalom would continue, “Now if I were made judge in the land, anyone with a suit or other cause could come to me, and I would see that he gets justice!” Moreover, whenever any man came close to prostrate himself before him, he would put out his hand, take hold of him and kiss him. This is how Avshalom behaved toward anyone in Isra’el who came to the king for judgment, and in this way Avshalom stole the hearts of the people of Isra’el. - CJB
The traits and the plots of the Jezebel spirit. We can see as with Absalom and our current day churches the following actions of the operating Jezebel spirit:

The traits and the plots of the Jezebel spirit. We can see as with Absalom and our current day churches the following actions of the operating Jezebel spirit:
gathering groups within the clergy
covertly gathering weak Ahab minded followers
to rally discreetly against the authority of the churches
forming groups in the body supposedly to heal and teach
subtly sowing seeds of rebellion and rallying to this spirits own cause
to take over and set up its own authority and replace the original
The goal of the Jezebel spirit also is to conquer the Prophet--to shut down the voice of proclamation, to blind the spiritual eyes given to the body. It is by using the tactic of attachment--subtly flattering and lifting up against the authentic voice to gain trust and private access. Once this access is gained, then the twisting of private words spoken in confidence. All to their gain in the body in deception. When positioned, self appointed to gain further trust of the leadership and congregants. All in this process to sow discord leading to division yet who is left standing and ready to 'assist' or 'fill the gap'? How convenient, the leader discredited and yet there is still a presumed leader still in the midst that others are to look to place in authority....
It's a divide-and-conquer tactic all to gain control and remove the prophetic voice by creating corruption, defilement, divisions, discord and deception and by spreading lies and gossip. Appearing to be spiritual and wise and full of the Ruach HaKodesh, yet its goal is to discredit the voice of prophecy by the distortion of facts.
This spirit constantly seeks the connection with leaders to gain favor--this is done so that the attachment can appear as a kindred spirit, thinking alike finishing each other's thoughts. Often turns into a sexual relationship. That first attacks the emotions. (seeking needy deprived people) and fulfilling the needs that are not met. Then stimulates the mind (flattery,wanting to be inseparable) and after that seeks to captures their will.
For men who are not being emotionally supported or uplifted in their pastoral duties or supported by their wives--this Jezebel spirit comes in that form to fulfill that need. Can often lead to adultery eventually, covenant breaking, and loss of authority which is spiritual death--then the next phase begins--discrediting and accusations.
For women a consuming or magnetic desire to be around the person influenced by a Jezebel spirit. If allowed to run unchecked causes an intense craving beyond the reasoning. This spirit may appear as one's best friend, soul sister, soul brother or soul mate--this causes an overwhelming feeling of being swallowed up or suffocated. This will lead eventually to the attempt to take over of ministry, the whole purpose of all of their plots and plans.

This attachment could also be by the laying on of hands.
In these type of ungodly relationships, to break ties and teshuva. This will almost always cause and emotional play of guilt from a Jezebel spirit--to keep in bondage or maintain the relationship. It is this false prophetic spirit, in it's attempts at gaining leadership seeks to pray over the congregation. In some cases, spreading its influence by touch--feeding off the rejected souls with abandonment issues and gaining access and setting up shop. In total and complete contrast with the of the Spirit of Yahweh. It must be confronted and ousted from the body!
The authority of the prophetic ministry is not to physically overthrow a Jezebel spirit, but expose it to the pastors and leaders. Just as Jehu was called to destroy Jezebel and not the prophets, playing word wars with the spirit does nothing but prolong its presence. That is why the prophets only job is to expose and let Jehu the pastor remove this spirit. For the pastor has the divine right and authority to remove the Jezebel spirit. So here we have the prophets and the Jezebel spirit are enemies but similar in duties to their purpose. One to proclaim truth and the word of Yahweh, while the other lies and the operates in the ways of HaSatan. Seeking to pervade all areas of the prophetic ministries--subduing pastoral leadership, food banks, choir, greeters, ushers and any other ministry in the body. There is no ministry exempt from the cunning diabolical spirit of Jezebel. For like a predator it seeks the weakest link in authority.
Divide and conquer is one of the main ways of attack. To get each to turn on the other with what is whispered in those isolated conversations where words can be twisted and edited to a purpose. Now is the time for leaders to get on the wall and stand your guard!!!! Be vigilant, not ignorant on a proverbial witch hunt. The symptoms of this demonic influence, if paid attention to can be noticed--a house divided against itself cannot stand.
This Jezebel spirit is attracted to be anointing, the light of Yahweh poured into His children. Catches the attention, this attention can eventually lead to the plan to kill and destroy the body of Christ. Just like a moth drawn to the light ,this spirit will appear. Subtle, full of flattery, with a sense of self humility, yet drops hints and sows subtle words of discord. Smelling insecurities a mile away. To hear this again click here
