Revelation 2:18-24
18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; 19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. 20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
Far to often the name Jezebel has been thrown around the church body for as long as I can remember. As a child I just remember watching some Bible movies and Jezebel was beautiful with lots of jewelry draped all over her visage. Other than that, there were two more times of hearing about Jezebel.
The second time I was attacked by that Spirit and it wasn't fun at all. In the women it was were dominating and manipulative and in men were deceiving and disgusting. All by the power of one being influence by this spirit.
As we begin the introduction before introducing the book. We must give people a preview of what they are walking into. First of all this spirit is male or female. This spirit operates as two. There is Ahab and Jezebel. This spirit will always come to attack a prophetic ministry. It tries to get you to defile yourself inwardly or outwardly to disqualify you for leadership. Remember we just got finished with The Spirit Of Leadership. The Spirit Of Jezebel hates your fellowship and wants to see you destroyed. People dread confronting the Jezebel in fear of what they will get back. This is a constant battle for people in authority. The Jezebel spirit will always try to attach itself to you. It will use key people to move in and control you! Many people who operate in a Jezebel spirit were rejected, by their fathers and have a dominating mother, not all, but many. How to recognize this spirit:
1 insecurity and rejection
2 lies and jealousy
3 pride and arrogance
4 manipulation and control
NO MORE TOLERATION ITS CONFRONTATION TIME!!!!!!!
We have heard the multiple sides of this spirit. The fact that it’s influence can be anybody or anything. Subjecting to intimidation, fear, sexual relations, lies and that's just naming a few. Other people can be influenced by this controlling spirit. By its attachment to leadership causing one to fear and doubt and even ailments.
Any case this exciting series of unmasking the spirit of Jezebel will blow your mind. Whereas only a master of a Tanakh can do. Some of the men and woman stories pulled out of the word and their identities we thought we're good people. Only to have the revelation that the people operated under the Jezebel spirit as well.
Adam and Eve for the first example. Though the king of earth Adam fell into the influence of a Ahab spirit becoming a non effective leader to his wife in teacher her the importance of obedience to the commands of the Most High. Eve for an example operated under a rebellious spirit by assuming that the word of the Most High could be changed. The commandment not to eat of the fruit of the tree of good and evil less she should surely die was given. But the words spoken to Eve from the serpent twisted Elohim's words. She was deceived and in turn deceived her husband. To imagine one to become like the Most High knowing all good and evil.
Saul the first king of Israel had the spirit of rebellion and manipulation as he spoken to the Prophet Samuel and pretty much lied about his reason for sacrificing. And goes on to a love and hate relationship with David. We even came to find out that even Jonathan, Saul’s son whom we thought love David dearly. Played with Jezebel too. Join Fiveamprayer as we continue to dismantle and master understanding--identifying and canceling the works of the Jezebel spirit in us and others. Exposure, Identification, Healing Let’s Go!!!!
Notice in Relation 2:18-29. The church of Thyatira was warned and exposed for their toleration of this spirit operating in the congregation. This counsel is to those believers who will hear, repent and break off the compromise. “The deep things of Satan” in verse 24 most likely refers to the false doctrine being taught. They taught moral evil and that its experience was necessary to truly appreciate good. Note the words “as they call them.” They were evidently teaching license as good and bragging about the debts of their sin.
Thyatira had a definite and even greater ministry of service and endurance, one that seemed to be motivated by faith and love (vs. 19), but Thyatira lacked on the side of zeal for sound doctrine, moral purity, holiness of life, and zeal against false teaching and practice. Obviously, the church needs to have both, it needs a balance or it must eventually lose its testimony and capacity for ministry.
As the Jezebel of the Old Testament enticed God’s servants to abandon their loyalty to the Lord and to participate in her idolatrous practices, so this woman of Thyatira was enticing Christians to abandon their loyalty to Christ and a separated life. Her teaching was probably similar to that of the Nicolaitans.
The adultery mentioned here includes both spiritual adultery (idolatry), and physical adultery (fornication in cultic prostitution). This is the only place adultery is indicated. The fact adultery constitutes a violation of the marriage vow could indicate that some of those who had been seduced by this Jezebel’s teaching were believers, those who had been betrothed to Christ as His bride ( 2 Cor. 11:2; Jam. 4:4)
All of this as a witness to show the exposure of the Jezebel spirit. In order for healing or ignorance to be broken. With this information we can correctly pray fully, seeking out thoroughly His word so the healing can truly begin!! Shema Selah, let us pause and consider our ways and make the corrections according to scripture!!! Facebook LIVE video!!
