1 John 4:4-6, 19-21
You, children, are from God and have overcome the false prophets, because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore, they speak from the world’s viewpoint; and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God doesn’t listen to us. This is how we distinguish the Spirit of truth from the spirit of error. - CJB
19-21
We ourselves love now because he loved us first. If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar. For if a person does not love his brother, whom he has seen, then he cannot love God, whom he has not seen. Yes, this is the command we have from him: whoever loves God must love his brother too. - CJB

How to recognize the characteristics that accompany the works of Jezebel spirit. Keeping in mind that a person influenced by this demonic spirit may do many of the following, at one time or another, although not necessarily in the order described. The fact that one characteristic trait, does not indicate that someone has a Jezebel spirit. It may mean that the person is still spiritually and emotionally needing maturity. Only when several characteristics exists, there is a strong indication that an individual is influenced by a Jezebel spirit. Also remember that one characteristic may be clearly noticeable, but other traits may be hidden and yet profound. A prolonged manifestation of any of these traits warrants a closer look at the individual and the situation.

1. While it’s almost unrecognizable at first, such individuals are threatened by a prophetic leader, who is the main target of concern. Although such people will seem to have prophetic gifts, their aim is to actually control those who move in the prophetic realm.

2. To increase their favor, such individuals often zero in on a pastor and church staff, and then seek to find the weakest link in order to subdue them. Their eventual goal is to run the church.

3. Seeking to gain popular and pastoral endorsement, such individuals will form strategic affiliations with people who are perceived by others to be spiritual or influential with others.

4. To appear spiritual, such individuals will seek recognition by manipulating situations to gain an advantage. Such individuals often conjure up dreams and visions from their imaginations, or they borrow them from others.

5. When these individuals receive initial recognition, they often respond with false humility. However, this trait is short-lived.

6. When confronted, these individuals will become defensive. They will justify their actions with phrases like, “I’m just following God” or “God told me to do this.”

7. These individuals will often allege having great spiritual insight into church government and affairs, but they will not appeal to proper authority. Rather they first appeal to others. Often their opinion becomes the “last word” on matters, thereby elevating their thoughts above the pastor’s.

8. Having impure motives, these individuals will seek out others, desiring to have “disciples,” needing constant affirmation from their followers.

9. Desiring to avoid accountability, these individuals prefer to pray for people in isolated situations—in a corner or in another room. Thus, innuendos and false “prophetic” words cannot be easily challenged.

10. Eager to gain control, these people will gather others and seek to teach them. While the teachings may begin correctly, “doctrine” is often established that is not supported by the Word of God.

11. Deceiving others by soulish prophecy or by giving words that someone wants to hear, these individuals seek to gain credibility. They prophesy half-truths or little-known facts, as though they were from God. Such individuals may also take advantage of someone else’s poor memory by twisting their previous prophecies to make it seem as if their words have come to pass.

12. Although the “laying on of hands” is biblical, these individuals like to impart a higher level of the spirit—or break down walls that have held someone back—by the “laying on of hands.” However, their touch is actually a curse. Instead of a holy blessing, an evil spirit may be imparted.

13. Masking poor self-esteem with spiritual pride, these individuals want to be seen as the most spiritual ones in the church. They may be the first to cry, wail, or mourn—claiming a burden from God. However, they are no different from the Pharisees who announced their gifts in order to be seen by men.

14. Usually, such individual’s family life is shaky. These individuals may be single or married. If married, their spouse is usually weak spiritually, unsaved, or miserable. They begin to dominate and control everyone in the family.

The power of love and forgiveness is well needed for the strongholds of a Jezebelite to be free. For Love casteth out every fear. For the root of it all is fear. Fears of rejection, fears of abandonment, fears of loving and being loved. That takes roots from past wounds that never were properly healed. Which goes to being mature and responsible for confronting theses influences with love.

We're in the greatest spiritual times spoken of in scriptures. The times where prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes! Everything that is happening now is preparing us for the promises of Yahweh. For Yahweh promised in the last days to send the spirit of Elijah--the spirit of Elijah is supposed to turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons and the sons heart to the fathers. According to Hebraic commentary the Torah, Yahweh's teachings and instructions would be considered the father. The Brit Hadasah (New Testament) would be considered the sons. Synonymous to the Jewish/Hebraic mindset apposed to the Greek/church mindset. So the hearts of the father = the Torah being turned to the sons = the New Testament believers. This is a prophetic word spoken for our days and times. Many are returning to the original roots. Jeremiah 6:16- 19, because of the instructions that were not fully explained in just living out of the Bri Hadashah. Yet the Torah is designed to set us free and keep us free! We now need for souls to be set free! Elijah liberated the Hebrews from the lies, deceptions, and idol worship influenced placed upon the people by Jezebel and Ahab that resulted in bondage and curses to be upon the children of Israel.  So in these last days, the spirit of Elijah will rise upon Yahweh's children so that they may set all the captives free and set truth from error. Remembering first and foremost, we must recognize and confront the Jezebel influence within ourselves first, in order to be used to be used by the Most High, Yahweh!  To hear this again click here.
