2 Timothy 2

We are walking in today:  No More Toleration, It’s Confrontation Time!! Part 6, We Must Rightly Divide The Word Of Truth!!!! Watch The Counterfeit!!! 

Teaching from the book:  Unmaking The Jezebel Spirit by John Paul Jackson

Witness envious throughout the Bible:   H7064 qana' spelled qof, nun, alef--to envy, be jealous, be envious, be zealous

Exodus 20:17 “You must not be envious of your neighbor’s house, or want to sleep with his wife, or want to own his slaves, oxen, donkeys, or anything else he has.”

Torah: Genesis 26:14, 37:11; Deuteronomy 32:21
Prophets: Isaiah 11:13
Writings: Psalms 37:1; Proverbs 24:19

1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud,

2 Timothy 2:15-18
15 Do all you can to present yourself to God as someone worthy of his approval, as a worker with no need to be ashamed, because he deals straightforwardly with the Word of the Truth. 16 But keep away from godless babbling, for those who engage in it will only become more ungodly, 17 and their teaching will eat away at people like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are among these; 18 they have missed the mark, as far as the truth is concerned, by saying that our resurrection has already taken place; and they are overturning some people’s faith.

A Jezebel spirit may speak in a prophetic voice that sounds familiar, but it turns out to be counterfeit. It is difficult to pinpoint how the powers of darkness deceive and counterfeit God’s voice or presence. Demonic spirits may sound spiritual--they may even use Scripture to achieve their goals. A discerning ear, however, will detect both accuracy and motive.

2 Timothy 2:15-18
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, who have strayed concerning the truth, saying the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.

Although Paul is speaking of people spreading heresy, the same principle can be applied to those operating under a Jezebel spirit. Like those who promote heresy, individuals who operate with a Jezebel spirit sow falsehood, division, strife, and discord in “the name of the Lord.” In order to combat this corruption and divisiveness, we must become like Timothy, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. The Greek word used for “divide” in this passage is orthotomeo, which means literally to “dissect correctly.” Therefore, with the gift of discernment, we can correctly dissect the hidden motives of someone operating under a Jezebel spirit.

Defensive Posturing
When confronted with the matters described above, an individual with a Jezebel spirit will usually respond with statements like, “I’m just trying to help” or “God told me to do this.” Their response comes from an imagined sense of God’s will. However, this dead-end logic must not be allowed!! The battle lies not in the realm of reason of fighting logic with logic. Here now is given the responsibility of discernment to the pastors. Tragically, many pastors have found themselves lacking the sharpness to overcome the persuasive arguments of a Jezebelite. Many pastors are too distracted with the activities demanded by their congregations. Often a pastor has too little time to spend in the word and in prayer.

Unreasonable and Unyielding
Seeing themselves as spiritually superior, a Jezebelite often believes God has provided a hedge of protection around him or her. Believing they have been highly favored and chosen for some spiritual high place or position. Eventually, such individuals become unteachable and unyielding. Over time, they will become deceived to think they are infallible. They become unable to listen to others, because others “have not had a direct revelation from God” like they have.


Appealing To Others
In God’s Word, a prophet always went directly to the king—not to the people—following the proper protocol of leadership and God opened the door of access to that realm. Seeming to have great spiritual insights into church issues, individuals operating with a Jezebel spirit usually do not share these insights first with the pastor, according to Biblical pattern. It is actually a spirit of rebellion that drives these people to take their insights about the church directly to others. Individuals who give way to a Jezebel spirit do not perceive the value of praying revelation versus speaking it. Deceived by ulterior motives, these individuals appeal directly to others. In doing so, their realm of influence is broadened and the spiritual mysteries they espouse are admired. Thereby, such individuals come to expect honor and adulation from others.

Proverbs 14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.

John 5:44
How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God.

2 Peter 2:2-3
Many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle.

Private Prayer Sessions
When it comes to praying for individuals, Jezebel prefers private places. In this way, hurtful innuendoes, implications, and left-handed compliments that are spoken cannot be heard by others or directly challenged. If confronted, these Jezebelites will usually deny having said anything, or insist they were misunderstood.


Twisting Scripture and Reworking Doctrines
A person operating in a Jezebel spirit will seek to teach church doctrine in order to gain a controlling grip on the Body. However, their doctrines will be incomplete, inaccurate, and full of holes. Scripture will usually be taken out of context and misapplied.

2 Peter 2:1
But among the people there were also false prophets, just as there will be false teachers among you. Under false pretenses they will introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, and thus bring on themselves swift destruction.

Revelation 2:20
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.


Reckless Words
Those with a Jezebel spirit will seek to gain credibility by speaking prophetic utterances. However, these prophecies are the product of their own imaginations. Those with a Jezebel spirit will seek to gain credibility by speaking prophetic utterances. However, these prophecies are the product of their own imaginations.

Jeremiah 23:32
Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams, says the Lord, and tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies and by their recklessness. Yet I did not send them or command them; therefore they shall not profit this people at all.

False Prophecy
Giving a false prophecy does not simply mean speaking an untrue word. It may mean that a false, lying, and unclean spirit is speaking through a person who is giving a prophetic word. Instead of Holy Spirit-given revelation, the Jezebel spirit uses a spirit of divination. A mature prophet can discern a Jezebel spirit, thus “separating the holy from the profane” remember, the hallmark of the Holy Spirit is always purity, truth, and sincere love.

Acts 16:16
Once, when we were going to the place where the minyan gathered, we were met by a slave girl who had in her a snake-spirit that enabled her to predict the future.

1 Corinthians 14:29
Let two or three prophets speak, while the others weigh what is said.

Ezekiel 44:23
They are to teach my people the difference between holy and common and enable them to distinguish between clean and unclean.


Eagerness To Impart
A Jezebel spirit likes to impart its anointing through the laying-on-of-hands. However, the Jezebelite’s touch carries a curse. If it is not the touch of God, what spirit is touching you? When a Jezebel spirit is imparted, a dark spirit is deposited into its victims. Obviously, an individual with a Jezebel spirit is not someone that you want to have ministering to people in a prayer line! Even if such people are unaware of the Jezebel spirit operating through them, they are still capable of passing on this demonic spirit to others.

Romans 1:11
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established—.

Appearing Religious
Individuals with a Jezebel spirit will almost always exhibit a religious spirit. They may appear to be the most spiritual individuals that you have ever known. They may portray having deep and intimate relationships with the Holy Spirit. However, a closer inspection will reveal that their actions are based on what they think you need to see, to convince you of their spirituality. Believing they are “special instruments” of God, such individuals often isolate themselves from others and take separate paths, feeding their independent spirit. A religious spirit blinds them to the sober knowledge of the deception they have bought into.

Matthew 6:1
Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them.

Experiences Are Dramatized
It is common for people with a Jezebel spirit to entertain a strange mixture of Christianity, New Age, and eastern religions. Their religious actions are meant to convey many mystical experiences and impress others sufficiently so that they will be accepted in the way they deeply desire. Although every man or woman of God has a sense of destiny and purpose, this divine purpose should not be confused with a Jezebel spirit’s false spirituality. God’s purposes in our lives lead to humility, but Satan’s purposes in our lives cultivate self-promotion. The intent of the heart is always the dividing line between the two.


Family Life In Disorder
Scripture says that before we can be in any type of leadership, our family must be in order, our children in good standing, and our mate in one accord with us (1 Timothy 3:1-4). How can you manifest a prophetic spirit to restore families (Malachi 4:6), if your own family is destroyed or in disarray? You cannot impart what you do not have! Furthermore, you have no authority to impart that which you have not been able to build in your own life. Instability often exists in the family life of someone plagued by a Jezebel spirit. This spirit will breed negative attitudes, behavior, and individuals. Families can be destroyed by this spirit. Individuals who operate in this spirit can be single or married. If a Jezebelite is married, that one’s mate will be spiritually weak, miserable, or unsaved. They often become lazy, sluggish, and repressed. If the spouse is male, he will allow his wife to dominate and control him, but secretly he despises and hates her for it. As she becomes more aggressive, he becomes more reclusive. Sexual intimacy between them takes a back seat to her spiritual needs. He quietly begins to search for other means of meeting his needs.


Looking To Other Men
A woman who operates with a Jezebel spirit may claim that she wants her husband to assume the spiritual leadership of their family and that if he did, she would submit to him. But, if the earlier scripting has been etched on the husband’s soul, nothing will change. Her husband’s weaknesses may cause the Jezebelite to be drawn to and spend time with other men who demonstrate spiritual headship, thus attempting to fill the void in her marriage. Eventually, her husband will become so demoralized that he will cease going to church, preferring to stay home watching television or engaging in other substitutes for his wife’s affection. Especially he may retreat into his vocation, where he can feel manly, in control, and powerful. He ceases to listen with respect to his pastor—after all, how can he listen to a pastor who can’t see through his wife’s spiritual facade? She may coerce the pastor to intervene and act as the head of their household. However, if she is not submissive to her husband, she will not be submissive to the pastor, any other leader—or to God. It’s just a matter of time before the pastor also feels the sting of her emasculating jabs.

Castrating Her Husband
A Jezebel spirit will influence a woman to criticize and belittle her husband, telling him he’s not spiritual enough, bold enough, making enough money, or that he’s holding her back from the ministry God has awaiting her. She may apply subtle, manipulative pressure on him by simply sighing and commenting how nice it would be to have this or that, knowing they can’t afford it. She may also imply that if he really loved her, he would work harder to provide for all her needs and desires. Such manipulative ploys put incredible pressure on a man and increase his resentment. It may also cause him to flee into the arms of another woman who is more sensitive to his needs and who makes him feel appreciated and successful as a husband. In God’s order, the authority over the wife is the husband, the authority over the husband is Christ, and the authority over Christ is God the Father (1 Corinthians 11:3). A person with a Jezebel spirit may talk about submission and obedience to her husband, but both her husband and children know that it’s all talk. It is not reality. Children who grow up in a family environment in which a parent operates with a Jezebel spirit will be profoundly affected as adults, in ways many do not realize.

Watch and pray for everyone even yourselves. As we take a look behind the veils of our flesh to discover the real you. The Torah is the expressed image of the Most High. In it we find freedom and deliverance not only from things seen, but the deep rooted issues that only the Most High knows. Yet there is healing in His wings. For those willing to confront the Counterfeit within themselves and recognize this spirit of Jezebel in others. Become the image and likeness of The Most High. We must truly teshuvah!!! Shema Selah let us pause and consider this teaching on the Jezebelic influence!!  Facebook LIVE video
