We are walking in today: Weekend Meditation--No More Toleration, It Is Time For Confrontation, Part 4--Are You Being Influenced By The Spirit of Absalom?
Teaching from the book: Unmasking the Jezebel Spirit by John Paul Jackson
Witness subtil throughout the Bible: H6175 `aruwm spelled alef, resh vav, mem--subtle, shrewd, crafty, sly
2 Kings 10:19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
Torah: Genesis 3:1
Prophets: 1 Samuel 23:22
Writings: Job 5:12, 15:5; Psalm 83:3
Genesis 27:35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
2 Samuel 15:4-6 cjb
4 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!” 5 Moreover, whenever any man came close to prostrate himself before him, he would put out his hand, take hold of him and kiss him. 6 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.
Spinning the web of deciet
He came from a previous fellowship so he says. Interested in a new faith eager to learn something new. A familiar face was seen in the congregation. So He thought I should hook up with her they seem to know more about this faith. Contacting the individual; as she thought it was cordial to introduce the male to the leader of the group. Then the webs of lies and deceit began to grow throughout the group. As the new member began to have interactions with each member. Causing them to believe the help that was needed and prayed for had arrived. They eagerly accepted the help of this man. Finding out amongst each other that a lot of things didn’t add up promises were broken and they all had been hoodwinked by this person. Most of important the attachment to leadership was accomplished…
Churches targeted by this spirit
No church is too great, too healthy, or too pure to be exempted from an attack by a Jezebel spirit. In fact, the greater the church, the greater the assurance that those with a Jezebel spirit will seek to gain influence and power—unless the pastor, the leadership team, the intercessors, and prophetically gifted individuals exercise their responsibility and withstand this spiritual attack.
Conquering the prophet
The ultimate goal of someone influenced by a Jezebel spirit involves issues of control and in particular, how disagreements with authority figures are handled. Consequently, any prophetic leader carrying a true spiritual authority from God is a threat to someone who operates under this spirit. Since a Jezebel spirit counterfeits the prophetic anointing in gifts, calling, and authority, a prophetic leader will become a target of a Jezebel spirit, as will a church in which the prophetic is held in high regard. A prophetic church and its leaders must realize that if the spirit of Elijah is going to return, so will its counter spirit—the Jezebel spirit.
Divide and conquer
The first move a Jezebel spirit often makes is to gain control by trying to remove the established prophetic authority. If a Jezebel spirit can wedge itself between the people, the pastors, and a prophetic leader, then it will move to overthrow the prophetic leader.
Conquer by joining
To seduce, and thereby, conquer a prophetic leader, someone with a Jezebel spirit will seek to gain favor. This individual will attempt to unite with a prophetic leader in the realm of the spirit, saying “I’m just like you. I seem to know what you’re thinking and feeling. We are kindred spirits.” However, this soulish tie will attack the prophetic leader’s mind, will, and emotions. In some cases, this joining together will display itself with sexual manifestations. This spirit “talks” spiritually, but its strength is born from the power of the soul, and is ultimately deadly to the gifting of its prey. Some goals of this demonic spirit are to dilute revelation, bring about corruption, defilement, disregard, and disdain of God’s true prophetic voice. A Jezebel spirit seeks intimacy with power. It may use fascination and charm in seemingly innocent ways until it gains friendship and confidence—an illegitimate familiarity the person craves. Just as believers are joined by the Holy Spirit, so an individual with a Jezebel spirit seeks to be joined in soul with others under the guise of the union being a spiritual joining.
Ties that bind
You can usually track how godly men or women form soul-tying relationships with an individual who operates with a Jezebel spirit. It begins in the realm of the soul. Both men and women will find emotional needs seemingly being met by this person. For a male leader, this will often translate into sexual needs and desires. The season of seduction may eventually climax in the act of physical adultery. Thus, their ability to keep a covenant is breached. Their influence and authority is forfeited; their ministry is destroyed and God’s Kingdom suffers great loss. For a female leader, this soul tie usually manifests as a consuming and magnetic desire to be around the person influenced by a Jezebel spirit. They will often become best friends or even soul sisters, soul brothers, or soul mates. The person with the Jezebel spirit may attempt to take over the leader’s group. As the relationship deepens, the leader may feel as if he or she is being swallowed or suffocated by Jezebel. Some individuals with a Jezebel spirit form soul ties by praying and by “laying hands on” a prophetic leader, hoping to impart the seed of its spirit. Such people may not know they are imparting a demonic touch. They may also want to pray beside a prophetic leader who is ministering to various individuals. They feel compelled to pray for others, but this urge is not from God.
James 1:14 Rather, each person is being tempted whenever he is being dragged off and enticed by the bait of his own desire.
Subduing pastoral leadership
The prophetic realm is not the only target of a Jezebel spirit. A Jezebel spirit will target a pastor and the church staff, seeking to find the weakest link in order to sever it and gain favor in subtle ways.
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; 23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
The Spirit of Jezebel seeks out those of influence and those close to them. The weak and unassuming or the proud and unaware. Absalom was proud and was determined to take authority of his father David’s kingdom. Lest we not forget the missing the mark, David committed with Uriah the Hittites wife and the curse the Most High pronounced over David’s seed. “The Sword shall not leave His House”. So in fulfilling the curse of the 3rd and 4th generation found in the 613 principles. We see that Absalom's usurp to take His father’s throne just like HaSatan--set out to place himself above the Most High. So did the Spirit of Jezebel in Absalom set out in rebellion and corruption. This is not to be taken lightly and must be exposed and dealt with in exact proper protocol. Shema Selah, wake time to review this teaching all weekend long!! Thank You Most High for showing us the web of lies woven by the Jezebel spirit!! Facebook LIVE video
