OVERCOMING JEZEBEL

Warren David Horak Fathers Heart International Ministries

Introduction
This teaching is to make you aware of the schemes of the devil and to look at how we can overcome this evil force, called Jezebel. lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices 2 Corinthians 2:11 This principality is after your authority and wants to completely destroy your life, family, ministry and business. this teaching will show you how to identify and overcome this stronghold. Our focus should always remain on Jesus. We are in a war and we need wisdom to fight. We now need to understand the plans and strategies of satan so we can recognise them and overcome Him through the plans and strategies of our Father in heaven. Unfortunately many perish because of a lack of knowledge, this certainly has been the case in my life. For the last fifteen years I have fought vicious battles with the spirit of Jezebel. I have lost much because of my lack of knowledge and disobedience. I really was fighting all the time, yet I did not really know how to fight in order to win. I lost much ground to the enemy. Yet my calling is to recover all I have lost and even more. For the last six years God has slowly step by step been teaching me how to overcome satan and his forces. This road has been difficult and fraught with danger and pain. One of satans main forces is the spirit of Jezebel. I have been used, abused and nearly completely destroyed by this most vile and vicious spirit. I have sat in the seat of Ahab, Jezebel, Elijah and Jehu. I have made more mistakes than anyone I know. Through these battles I have lost my family, many friends and millions of rands. This was my school fees in this great war. I praise God today for everything He has taught me over these years. Through much pain, sorrow and suffering He has helped me overcome and will continue to do so as I yield to His word and love. I have seen this spirit destroy marriages, friendships, ministries, businesses, and even kill people around me. My hearts cry, is that I can help many others overcome this most evil spirit. I pray our Father will give you wisdom and understanding as you read this document. If certain things in this document upset you, then you know Jezebel is near, submit to God and resist her and she will flee from you. 3

MOVE FORWARD AND FIGHT

One of the basic purposes of man is to have dominion over all this earth. This purpose is given to all man, both male and female. There are just two choices in this battle. To retreat like Ahab leading Gods people into harlotry, or to advance and overcome it like king Jehu fulfilling your destiny. You cannot fulfil your destiny while being subject to this spirit. There is simply no neutral ground in this war. We are called to fight until we win. We are called to never surrender. Now arise and fight for your families, businesses, ministries and cities. Take back what satan has stolen. She will target any God ordained relationship, marriage, partnership, ministry, business from the time it starts. Jezebel starts by building her vile nest in the middle of the camp. When you start this fight you need to fight until the death, to obtain the victory. If you back off; you are history. What this means, is that either the spirit of Jezebel leaves the camp or the person leaves the camp/organisation or relationship with Jezebel. Our war is not against people, but against principalities and powers. Our goal simply is to help people get set free from this evil spirit. If we leave this spirit it will contaminate the entire organisation like the sin of Ai did, and brought Gods judgement on the Israel so allowing this spirit in our homes, businesses etc will bring Gods judgement on the whole camp. Are you prepared to pay the price? You might loose the relationship for the sake of His kingdom. This can cause you major pain and even bring serious damage to the organisation. However, it is worth it in the end; as a lettuce leaf is better where there is peace than a feast with strife. Whether the person gets delivered or not, depends on the person whether they want deliverance, and if you are equipped to get them delivered. You cannot help them if you are still in the same bondage yourself. Many do not want deliverance from Jezebel, they treat her like a pet and cuddle up to her and draw strength from her daily. To be delivered from Jezebel can only be done through the power of the cross which she hates; as it marks her total defeat. Once you are dead to self, there is now no place for her to hold on to any more. Unless of coarse you remove your self from the altar. Jezebel seeks to destroy your family, relationships, ministry, business and your entire destiny. If you allow her to operate in your life and ministry she will rob and 4

destroy your life from you. Like a giant spider sucking the life out of its prey. Allowing Jezebel in the camp will cause God to not release His blessings on your life, as Jezebel knows that God only blesses unity.

WHO IS THIS JEZEBEL

Much has been written on this spirit and I believe much still needs to written, as this spirit is unmasked we will be empowered to overcome it. The name Jezebel means, Baal exalts or Baal is husband to or unchaste. Jezebel the woman, led baal worship in Israel and was empowered by the spirit we call the Jezebel spirit. She serviced baal and he serviced her. Baal is the god of nature and fertility. Therefore Baals worshippers believed, that this god gave them prosperity. Many today, are serving Baal as they are worshiping prosperity and money. Ahab the king of Israel married Jezebel and served baal. Jezebel taught him how to do this. As He did this, he effectively handed the kingdom Israel over to the spirit of Jezebel. This is the spirit that ruled Jezebel. She employed 450 fulltime prophets of baal who ate at her table. 1Kings18:19. She also employed 400 prophets of the goddess of Asherah. The Westminster Dictionary of the Bible article "... She was the goddess of sexual love, maternity and fertility. Prostitution as a religious rite in the service of this goddess under various names is widely attested. The identification of 'Ashtart with Aphrodite is evidence of her sexual character." So quite simply the Jezebel spirit is one of prosperity, fertility, sexual and other lust and perversion.

Elijah rose up and destroyed all of her 850 prophets, and then ran away from one woman. It might seem that Elijah was running from one woman, but actually it was the principality and ruler, the spirit of Jezebel that was intimidating him. You see Elijah was able to destroy the false prophets this spirit used, but could not kill the mother, Jezebel. Today we have been given mighty weapons in God for pulling down strongholds. These strongholds have no right in the Lords house. Our families, businesses, churches must be cleaned up.

Jezebel is a not a demon its a world principality, power and ruler. It is not a person but a demonic force, commissioned and anointed by satan to destroy godly government any other government on this earth. This spirit is not just one single demon or principality, it is more like and entire division in satans army under the specific Jezebel mandate. These principalities and powers work together in an unholy alliance to do the work of Jezebel. When the spirit of jezebel hits a church or business, it is like satans special forces that hits. I dont believe it is just one demon that is doing all the damage; but an evil group of united demons. United by the pact and strategy of the Jezebel clan. Like a warship with multiple warheads. She has many weapons and when these weapons are used together, the effects are devastating. You could call her the mother of rebellion and witchcraft. It doesnt just attack Christian organisations but attacks secular organisations and even governments. As all government and authority is God ordained, Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Romans 13:1 The bigger picture, is that satan wants to control the planet. He is after power and has organised himself a powerful army to do just that. Take over and destroy everything. This principalities primary attribute is spiritual harlotry. We see in Revelation 17:5 That Babylon is the mother of harlots. Jezebel is the daughter of Babylon. Who and what is Babylon? The word Babylon means confusion by mixing, it originates from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Quite simply Babylon is the bride of satan. As Jesus has a bride, so satan has one too. The enemy can only copy what God does. Jesus has a true and faithful bride, satans bride is false and unfaithful and leads people into spiritual harlotry. As Jesus bride focuses on establishing His kingdom on earth, so satans harlot bride, focuses on establishing satans kingdom on earth. Babylon is the manifested through every false religion on earth. Basically Babylon is the false church. The false religious system. His Word says we need to come out of Babylon lest we partake of her sins and plagues. Revelation 18:4. The false church is any religion including Christians, who do not follow Jesus. Those who are of the true Church will obey Jesus, the false Church will only pretend to follow Him. They might hear His words, but they will love the lies and hate the 6

truth. They do this when they hate their brothers and dont practice the truth. They will seek to save their lives and loose them instead. The great separation is here, between the true and false Church. Which Church do you belong to? It is time to choose life and lay our lives down and follow Jesus. It will cost you everything, but it will be worth it in the end. To understand Jezebel we will need to have basic understanding of her mother, Babylon. Although I use the Jezebel in the feminine, it is only because of the role of this principality as the harlot spirit belonging to satans harem controlled by the mother of all harlots. Like father like son, well, like mother like daughter. Jezebel has been designed by lucifer to topple godly government all over the world. The spirit uses and attacks both men and woman and even children.

A SPIRITUAL HARLOT Jezebel is a harlot from her mother Babylon. Spiritual harlotry is where we place anything above God in our lives. Once we do this we are now playing the harlot. His word says, You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously? But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble. James 4:3-6 Once we enter spiritual harlotry, we are having intimacy with Gods enemy. Once we do this, God now is our enemy and He starts to resist us. Once we have put anything above God, this includes our careers, spouses, children, businesses, ministries, money etc. We are now under the government of satan. Gods, government cannot come into a place, home, ministry, business where harlotry flourishes. This is a place where people are allowed to serve themselves and satan. A person who is self serving and selfish is an enemy of Love. Love, who is God, is not selfish. Self is the very root of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

BABYLON AND JEZEBEL ORIGINATED IN SATANS WICKED MIND

Where do we see this spirits first activity? Babylon was formed in satans wicked mind as so has his very nature. As satans nature is sin and rebellion he is the father of rebellion and lies. He tried to overthrow God and takeover heaven to receive His glory, power and dominion. The whole battle between God and satan is about power. Satan tricked and deceived man out of his authority in the garden of Eden(Pleasure). Jesus Got it back in the Garden of Gethsemane (an oil press). In order for satan to give birth to children he needed a wife. The whore of Babylon is satans wife and bride. Jezebel is one of satans children, conceived with the whore of Babylon. From the time God gave Adam and Eve the godly authority over the planet, satan plotted to overthrow this government and take the planet from man. Adam and Eve were created to be the bride of Christ. God first gave Adam a bride to give him this great revelation of how awesome it is to have a beautiful spotless bride. This divine marriage was a type of Christ and His Bride, His queen, which the Father desired for His Son. A soul mate for eternity and equal in every way, what unity, what love and what power. This is the Devine romance that was born in our Fathers heart before we were created. However no matter how much Jesus loves His Bride , He will always love the Father more. He always seek to please the Father. Adam loved Eve so much, God made her from his own flesh and bone. She was His soul mate and joy. They walked with God in the garden and had sweet fellowship with each other. Eve was Adams God given helper to tame and develop this wild planet. This is how marriage is supposed to be. Yet our enemy is always lurking and plotting to destroy godly government and authority. Marriage is Gods government on earth. Now satan had a plan, such a wicked plan. He realised he could not deceive the man, so went for the weaker vessel the woman. Yet he has the plan to get both the woman and the man to fall. How will do it? As he seduced a third of the angels, now he was moving towards our Fathers most precocious creation, man. His sons Bride to be. The stage is set, satan makes his move and appeals to Eves inner self, he says to her God is not enough you need something more, she is deceived and eats that 8

line. Her beloved husband is standing and watching as his wife is being seduced by the snake. WHY DID ADAM JUST STAND AND WATCH? DO SOMETHING ADAM!!! Adam was supposed cover his wife, he was supposed to take dominion over the serpent. All over the world we still see Adam not taking spiritual authority in their families and situations.

First mistake, Adam(man) never covered and protected woman. This is where man lost it, we abdicated and gave our authority Eve??/to satan. Instead of fighting for His wife. Adam just stood and watched passively, as she was deceived. Once she was deceived and had eaten the fruit, she was lost to Adam forever. Now as He stands there between God His creator and Friend and Eve His wife and soul mate.

Second mistake for man, choosing woman over God. He has to choose between God and his wife. What a painful decision to make. Because he never covered his wife, he lost her to satan and now he was placed in this terrible dilemma. He chooses his wife over God. Why did Adam do such a thing? He did it because he loved his wife more than he love God. He made Eve an idol and lost her to satan, now he had to join her in her sin to still be with her. He must have had great pain, as he walked away from God towards his lost wife. This was the tearing between man and God. Women left God and man, for the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Man left God for a woman. The trinity were standing and watching feeling great anguish and loss, as they saw billions of their children suffering because of this one sin. Idolatry. The root of this sin was the fear of man and not fearing God. Then to Adam He said, Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it: Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life. Genesis 3:17 Man chose woman over God. Today it is still happening, as man is in search of the ideal golden woman. The ideal romance and the in love feeling. He is actually 9

looking for God, but seeks woman as a god. This is all based on lust and what man can get out of woman. Once this woman is above God, you have crossed the line into idolatry. When Adam did this, he was submitted to his wife and lost his God given authority and garden God had given him. Instead, he got a field of thorns and sweat, this represents stress and cares of this life. Today God commands all men to enter His rest. Hebrews 3 and 4. If we dont enter this rest we will chase idols for the rest of our days. Unfortunately men are still submitting to their wives and not listening to God today. Who is your woman/idol? Is it your job, your wife, your children, you bank balance, your parents, your friends? An idol is anyone or thing that we seek to please above pleasing our Father in heaven. Fear of man is where we seek to please man above god, this is the root of idolatry. This is all based on lust as we seek idols in order to fulfil our own lusts and please self. When we seek to please God we are set free form the lust of pleasing our selves. What was Adam supposed to do? The rest of the study will look at what Adam was supposed to do. We can ask the same question about Saul, David, Elijah, Ahab, Samson, these all fell the same way as Adam, choosing man above God.

FOUR ROLES, AHAB, JEZEBEL, ELIJAH AND JEHU

There are two primary roles in this real life drama and script written by Jezebel for your organisation. The one is King Ahab the spiritually weak passive and fleshly leader and the queen Jezebel, his team. All those under authority will be the target of this spirit. However in God script there are four roles. Ahab, Jezebel , Elijah and Jehu. The Lord raised up Elijah to prepare the way of the Lord. To expose and prophecy against baals, Ahab and Jezebel. He took out the false prophets but could not take down Jezebel. Jehu was raised up specifically to kill Jezebel. The fight can only be completely won by the king or leader of the organisation. Other can help but only the King can rule with Gods power and grace. As we saw with Adam so Ahab gave his authority away to this spirit.

WHAT IS JEZEBEL AFTER?

10

It is important to understand this spirits main motive. She is after power and control. She wants your garden. Therefore she will go for those who have been given authority. The more authority the more she will attack. Every born again child of God has been give authority as a child of God. She comes to usurp your authority. You have been give the keys of the Kingdom she is after these Keys. Jezebel will try to use you as her host whether you are a man or a woman. Even children and youth are a target for this ruler. This spirit is not gender specific. It after one thing and that is power and control. Therefore it will use those that are under authority against those with power and authority. It will convert legitimate godly government to illegitimate satanic power and control. God has given us dominion on the earth our basic mandate is to take dominion. Geneses 1:26-28. Now, there are two ways to take dominion, Gods way and satans. Spirit, versus flesh. Unfortunately many Christians know they must take dominion and end up doing using a combination of spiritual methods and fleshly methods. This brings confusion and comes from our Babylon mind sets. We need to come out of Babylon and have our mind renewed. Babylon is all about, pleasing me, myself and I. Gods Kingdom is all about pleasing Him. Once we operate under the banner of Babylon we are subject to Jezebel and all her destructive forces.

WHAT IS AHAB AFTER?

Ahab is looking for support in his self-seeking lifestyle, ministry, business etc. Basically to qualify as an Ahab you need to seek to please yourself and not God. Ahab used his kingly authority to serve the idol of self pleasing. This is the ideal breeding ground for the forces of Jezebel. You will always find Jezebel and Ahab working together. Basically you cant have Jezebel operating without Ahab. There is an unholy alliance between Ahab and Jezebel, this alliance means they both get their power from baal. The god of prosperity. Ahab is looking for prosperity and popularity. Enter Jezebel, she is only too willing to help Ahab get ahead, as long as she calls the shots and controls the king, she is happy. He now supplies her with all the money she wants to service the alters of baal. See 1 Kings 21:1-16. Jezebel helps Ahab and uses Ahabs authority to get what was to scared to take. A vineyard that belonged to someone else. She got Naboth killed, so Ahab could get his vineyard. This spirit always goes to steal what belongs to others from authority it will steal others inheritances. She does this buy using Ahabs to agree with their queens. 11

She determines what he does and when. Ahab got the beauty of Jezebel and the prosperity of baal all in one neat package. She ran the Baal school of prophets at his expense. As long he stays in power and has money she is happy. Ahabs are even willing to go to church as it serves to fulfil their political and success motive.

Jezebel kills the prophets The prophets are Gods voice on the earth and bring forth His word and government by releasing His voice. Jezebel wants to silence the prophets so the people will have no vision. For with out the vision His people will perish. The prophet is also there to identify the works of satan in the camp and outside the camp. Prophets are sent to expose the works of Jezebel. She likes to hide and cannot hide if God exposes her sins through the prophets. So she must kill the prophets. The prophets however are not called to kill her only to expose her. That is the kings job. Ahab was supposed kill Jezebel, God had to raise up another king who would be willing to kill her. And Ahab had called Obadiah, who was in charge of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly. For so it was, while Jezebel massacred the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah had taken one hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty to a cave, and had fed them with bread and water.) 1Kings 18:2-4

IDENTIFYING JEZEBEL
We now understand she is after your God given authority. She primarily targets leaders. So weather you are a husband, mother, managers, pastor you are a leader and will be targeted by this spirit. As you can see with Ahab and Jezebel. Jezebel only got in to her power position because the King of Israel was spiritually weak. He was spiritually weak because of lust, he wanted to please himself and not God. This spirit targets all leaders. As most leaders happen to be men at this time its primary target is men. It uses both men and women and even children as hosts. It attacks the leadership because that authority is the legitimate authority given by God to the leader of the organisation or family unit. It always operates from inside the camp. The enemy inside is the most dangerous of all. Its aim is to control the whole organisation. This spirits plan is to wear you out sucking the life blood out of you slowly over weeks, months and years. Always trying to get you to lay down your 12

God given authority in order to please self and others above pleasing God. This spirit will try and separate Jehu and Elijah from the anointing like Delilah did to Samson. Delilah was another woman under the influence of Jezebel. Samson was attracted to her beauty and married her even though she was not a believer. The spirit of jezebel was now able to separate Samson from his strength, God was his strength. The moment he married her and slept with her he lost his strength. Beware of making covenants with the enemies people. Beware of sleeping with the enemy. She will always take more than she gives and when she is finished she will discard you like trash. Lets look at the characteristics of Jezebel. Although I am referring to a persons characteristics these are the traits for the actual principality, that rules them this principality is anti Christ. When she comes in, she will use a combination of these weapons the more established she is the more of these weapons will be released by her. As soon as you see at least three or more of these operating you know for sure, Jezebel is attacking and needs to be destroyed.

JEZEBELS WEAPONS. Seduction, sucking up to the leadership to gain control. Many time they are the most gifted and best workers. The enemy likes you to think you will never be able to do this with out this person. Ahab spirit lusts after the gifts and talents and refuses to discipline this person. Flattery, Jezebel really know how to pamper your flesh. Beware the one who flatters is under the influence. I ask the question why is this person flattering me? That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words. Proverbs 7:5 7:21 Religious pretending, especially in front of the king. Will always pretend to be very spiritual, and even submissive. Yet when challenged, will manifest in various ways. With aggression, slanders, lies, excuses, blame shifting; never taking responsibility for there actions. Manipulation and witchcraft 101, comes out. Threatening. 13 With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips she seduced him. Proverbs

Sulking, abusing those under its authority. Cant repent and is always right everyone else is wrong. Remember the spiritual mask is only that, they dont really have an intimate relationship with Jesus. They will cover their rebellion in one area with sacrifice in another area. They might pray and minister a lot and always be at church yet they wont submit at home or at work. God delights in obedience and not sacrifice. Basically this like practising witchcraft while ministering and now this person will release evil instead of good. They are a channel for rebellion and will sow seeds of rebellion and sin where ever they go. o Prophetic gifts now used by Jezebel. Because the prophetic and callings are without repentance, God will not take these gifts away when the person goes off track in any way. Because the person doesnt have the character to hold the gifts the enemy now defiles the gifts and uses them to spread lies and deception. The prophetic gift is like a antennae that picks up signals. As soon as you go off track and focus on the devil and his ways. You will start to pick up signals former the devil and think God is speaking through you. This is extremely dangerous. That is why we cannot just allow anyone to speak or minister to the sheep God has give us to nurture. Those who are allowed to minister need to be in submission to other believers and walking in love and truth. Rebellion. A person under this spirit really battles to submit to natural and spiritual authority. They hate the word submit and treat it like a swear word. They will accuse everyone except themselves of control. They feel they will only submit if the person who is the leader matches their standard. The Jezebel tells them you must only submit if they do this and that. So they always have many reasons not submit. They will tend to break and cross lines of authority both in Gods army and in an organisation. Manipulation. A person under the control of this spirit will use manipulation to get their own way. Manipulation is witchcraft. They will sulk, shout, threaten to leave or worse if you dont let them have their way. Intimidation. Jezebel will always use intimidation directly or indirectly to those in leadership. So we get intimidated by those we 14

lead. We become afraid to challenge and correct them as they always resist correction. Child of pride. Jezebel is set on self exaltation and will go to any length to do it. She will always try and promote her own image, self promotion and selfish ambition are her trade marks. The standard corporate ladder climber. Accusation, slander and strife. She will always seek to blame others for her issues. Where she operates there will always be strife and slander. There is no peace as long as we allow this spirit to operate in the camp. This is dead give away they just cant help themselves. They will always argue over certain issues. Now it happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? So he answered, What peace, as long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft are so many? 2Kings 9:22. For true lasting peace we must be prepared to fight, this spirit will manifest and threaten all kinds of retaliation just ignore these threats and press ahead. Lying and deceit. To cover their mistakes lying will common and they wont even know they are lying. Lust, sexual and spiritual. These are strong traits of this whore. It will use everything at its disposal to overcome its victim. Sexual sins are very common amongst those oppressed by this demon. Spiritual lust occurs when we are in spiritual activities purely for our own pleasure. Attention, Continual issues and sickness. Because they are playing with Gods mercy and grace, soon God judgements fall on them and they will continually be sick. Gods judgements will cast her into sick bed. Revelation 2:19-24. Also hypochondriacs, those who like the attention they get from being sick. False birthing and Children. These false fires and plans are from the satan himself. As Jezebel is a spirit of fertility it is always seeking a moist fleshly place to lay her eggs. These eggs hatch and bring forth vipers from the pit of hell. This conception and birthing many times is all done under the religious mask of ministry. These are her children, even ministries that start like this will be killed. Revelation 2: 20-24. 15

 No sustained move of the Holy Spirit: Because Jezebel is allowed in the camp. Gods power cannot stay in the camp. God might move some times for the sake of his dear children that He loves but because of Jezebel He cannot in habit the house. The Holy Spirit is grieved when we allow Jezebel to stay in our churches, camps , business etc. We have to cast her out so that the Holy Spirit can move. Strife, rebellion the works of Jezebel stop the Holy Spirit moving like he wants. If we really want revival we need to cast Jezebel down. Jesus now stand out side the Church waiting for us to clean the house so He can abide in the House of peace. She will make you weak. Her aim is to weaken you through sin. Once you sin she will condemn you and vomit shame all over your head. Now you will not feel like praying. This is where most men have lost the battle, they dont like to pray and have not overcome their flesh, when it comes to prayer. Jezebel says prayer is for woman, that is a lie from the pit of hell. Only those who have a vital prayer life will ever be able to overcome this spirit. Once she has stopped the individual prayer life then the corporate prayer life will soon follow. No power. The final weapons of rejection, divorce and betrayal. If all else fails, she will reject you and try to destroy you through betrayal and or divorce as this is the last resort. Once she has used these two weapons she has no more weapons, as she has left the camp. Although she will still try and cause you damage from outside it is not nearly as dangerous than when she is inside the camp. If the betrayal doesnt destroy you, and you can love your Judas, you have overcome Jezebel and survived. Unfortunately the person never got delivered from Jezebel but left the camp with Jezebel. Now the camp is safe from that spirit. The word says, a little leaven, leavens the whole lump. We must therefore purge out any form of this spirit in the camp. Open doors for the spirit of Jezebel to operate through us: Self seeking agenda. Operates in unforgiveness and offence this is the open door for this spirit 16

 Refusing to submit to gods authority in your life. Your boss at work, your husband, your pastor or spiritual leader, any form of leadership.

WHAT MAKES YOU AN AHAB?

Ahab is called and appointed by God in a leadership, this is legitimate authority from God. Yet Ahabs even though called as kings, are unable to operate with their mantle of authority because of some major spiritual weaknesses. They abdicate there authority and give it to someone else. They like authority, but dont really like the responsibility that comes with it. They are ready for Jezebel to rule. Totally confused leaders.

Self seeking. Pleasure seeker is the door to all hell breaking loose. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. thing are there. James 3:14-16 Fear of man not fearing God. They always seek to please people. What will the people say? They never focus on what does the Lord think about this. They now are people ruled Saul fell into this category. They fear the people because they want what the people have got, natural power. Unbelief: Faithlessness and perversity: Matthew 17:14-22. Because Ahabs dont completely trust in God, this unbelief makes them go astray and become perverse. They do the exact opposite of what God wants them to do. Because they dont trust in God to keep them. Ahab look to Jezebels witchcraft to keep him in power. This is why he tolerated her as his queen. He trusted in flesh and not in God Jeremiah 17:5.It is written, Thus says the Lord: Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord. Unbelief therefore provides a vacuum in leadership for the spirit of Jezebel to operate in. Double mindedness leads to Compromise. 1 Kings 18:20-21. What you compromise to keep you will eventually loose. Ahab had a 17 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil

true servant and prophet of God ruling his house, yet he still tolerated Jezebel in his house. Surely this prophet who was of God must have warned Ahab many times of his sin and Jezebels sin. Yet this spiritually weak leader refused to confront Jezebel. Instead Obadiah had to hide , For so it was, while Jezebel massacred the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah had taken one hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty to a cave, and had fed them with bread and water. 1Kings 18:4. There are many in Church today who consult both true and false prophets. They have those who help them worship their idols as they too are idol worshippers and then they have true prophets around as well this will cause a tremendous clash in the spirit in the midst of Ahabs house and over Israel. A mixed message of compromise goes out to all those in the camp. This confusion by mixing is what is called Babylon the mother of harlots. The difference between Elijah and the in house prophet is power. Elijah had the ability to release God blessings and bring God judgement. This is why Ahab was on a man hunt to find and kill Elijah. Elijah was a threat to Ahabs status-quo. He made Ahab extremely uncomfortable, the Jezebel spirit behind Ahab was after Elijah. No godly discipline and order: Jesus said to the Church in Thyatira you allow that woman Jezebel Revelation 2:20. What we allow, God allows even though He isnt in agreement with it. Yet if we allow Jezebel to rule in the Church we will never have the pure move of God and God will judge the people use by her and the whole congregation. V22, Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. Because Ahabs operate in fear of man and unbelief and have their own selfish agendas they will not discipline those who break God laws. Because of this evil continues in the camp unabated. Another example of this why Eli, who never disciplined his sons who sinned in the temple. Evil flourished and the word of God was not common in those days. Eventually God had to discipline Elis sons and they were killed. Elis also lost his life. Many leaders falter when it comes to disciplining someone with in the camp. This causes major rebellion further down and pollutes the 18

water. In proverbs 25:26 it is written, A righteous man who falters before the wicked Is like a murky spring and a polluted well. Unequal yoking with Jezebel. Unbeliever. Why did he do this? She was married to Ahab, to ratify an alliance between Tyre and Israel, by which Omri, Ahabs father, sought to offset the hostility of Damascus towards Israel (c. 880 bc). Provision was made for her to continue to worship her native god Baal in Samaria, her new home (1 Ki. 16:31-33). (New bible dictionary) He married the daughter of king Ethbaal which means, with baal to make a strategic alignment with Israel and Gods enemies. Sidon the capital city of the Sidonians was a major fortress and trade city. Like New York today. This looked like a prosperous move to make. Solomon also had Sidonian wives ad he needed their trees to build the temple. These wives caused Solomon to sin against God with their idolatry. Again man goes after a woman who is not serving God. We can see that Ahab aligned with Gods enemies and worshipped Idols because he looked to idols, money and baal, to give him strength and support for his newly acquired kingdom and power. He never saw that will cost him his blessings and authority given to him by God. Today many in the Church dont see anything wrong with being unequally yoked with unbelievers. They get married to them, partner in business with them all for the sake of lust. Lust for things and money. He built baal a temple in Samaria the land of compromise. Abdication of his role as leader: He gave his power over to Jezebel instead of using his God given authority to rule and reign in righteousness. Always looking for some unequal yoking. o Yoking with the enemy for my own personal gain.

Lust of the flesh and the eyes. To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a seductress. Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her eyelids. For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life. Proverbs 6:24-26 19

 Pride of life. Lust for power and riches. Ahab wants to rule and have power and great riches, but they dont want to pay the price to rule Gods way. Gods ways to keep order and discipline in the house. God chastises those He loves. Love of idols: Money, fame, success, stability, security. How does God deal with Ahab leaders? o o He sends Elijah the prophet to warn them He releases His judgements. He then sends drought on the land. The drought was most severe in Samaria the very place where Ahab built an altar to baal. God will send a drought to the very altar of idol worship. The whole camp will suffer when this happens this is to get Ahab in a position to repent so God can have mercy on Israel. Please note that all those under Ahabs authority also suffered drought this included Elijah. This battle is for all in the camp, therefore if you under an Ahab you will need to really pray for them to turn around and repent and get rid of Jezebel. Many in the Body of Christ are now in this form of judgement not knowing why. God haste idols and is very jealous, because he loves us he will send drought on our idols. If your god is prosperity/ baal then Gods judgement will come on that altar and dry up this very thing you are chasing. Ahab god was baal /prosperity, the drought was sent to crush his idol. Matthew 5:27-30. This could mean bankruptcy, separation, divorce, sickness, death etc. 1Corinthians 11:27-32. Wherever your idol is that where Gods judgement will be. o Baal prophets confronted and destroyed: Now He sends Elijah to destroy the false priesthood by publicly

demonstrating that they dont have the power of God. Then he kills them single handed. o At the same time he repairs the altar of God. He restores the original pattern for true worship of Yahweh. Righteosness and jusctice. 1 Kings 18:30-36. God know sends the witness of His power and consumes the sacrifice and the altar. o o Elijah flees the spirit of Jezebel. God now raises up a king Jehu who will now kill the mother or host of the spirit of Jezebel. Yet he never killed her daughter 20

Athaliah. That would be done by Jehoiada the High priest, who saved Jehoash who would become king after Jehoiada killed Athaliah. So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword in the kings house. 2 Kings 11:20. True liberty in our cities will come when the church has destroyed the spirit for Jezebel in her borders. From this seed that was saved Gods the temple was repaired.

THE ANOINTING OF ELIJAH THE PROPHET

The true prophets will always seek the total destruction of Jezebel and the prophets of Baal. The true prophets will always be in confrontation with the false prophets. To bring forth Gods will and prepare the way of the Lord. To prepare the way for the kings to arise and rule. To bring forth Gods government on earth. The prophets are now preparing the way for the apostles to rule and reign in the Lords house. The last will be first and the first will be last. So it is with the apostles at the end of the age. The Lion of Judah will arise and crush satan under our feet. The manifestation of the true apostolic anointing is the manifestation of Christ in demonstration and power.

THE ANOINTING OF KING JEHU

Take away the wicked from before the king, And his throne will be established in righteousness. Proverbs 25:5. This is your job if you are a Jehu. Your authority will increase to the degree that Jesus rules and reigns in your life and your camp. If you dont tolerate unrighteousness then your throne/ authority will be established. This is your calling to rule and reign in Christ. No one else, not even Elijah can remove the wickedness from your camp. If you do this thing God will be pleased with you and bless you and your house. If you dont you will be judged like Eli and Ahab for not cleansing your house from evil. Now lets look at king Jehu. This is part of Gods script. We need to have the anointing of Jehu. His mandate was given to him through the word of the prophet 21

Elisha. Elisha had a double portion of the spirit of Elijah. This same anointing is what it will take to destroy Jezebel. Then he arose and went into the house. And he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israel: I have anointed you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel. You shall strike down the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel. For the whole house of Ahab shall perish; and I will cut off from Ahab all the males in Israel, both bond and free. So I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. The dogs shall eat Jezebel on the plot of ground at Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door and fled. 2 Kings 9:6-10 Over and above the spirit of Elijah, Jehu had the authority and anointing as a king to rule. Jehu the king represents the apostolic. Jehu is the type of Jesus who is the King. The apostolic is there to rule and take dominion. It is very interesting to note that the great prophet Elijah could not take Jezebel out by himself. Only the king can do that. The prophet can point to and expose Jezebel but does not have the spiritual authority of the king and leader. Many prophets are running from Jezebel waiting for the Jehus to arise and destroy Jezebel and destroy the house of Ahab. The apostles and prophets need to operate under the full anointing of Jesus to break the yoke of Jezebel in the Church. This is the combined anointing of Elijah and Jehu that ultimately defeated Jezebel in the house. Once the Church is set free from this false illegitimate government of satan, then the we can take our cities and nations through the true legitimate government of God. Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, Revelation 2:20 How can He bless your home, ministry, business if you have allowed Jezebel to operate in its midst. If we allow Jezebel to operate we are in sin. Once we overcome Jezebel then the morning star will arise over our house. This is a sign we are overcoming. Jesus will reward us by giving us even more authority to rule over nations with a rod of Iron. See Revelation 2:22-29. The Characteristics of Jehu:

22

 Fear for God which is the beginning of wisdom. Because of this, he sought how he may please God. 2Kings 9:24-26 Spirit of Elijah o Hearts of the father to children dealing authority in the home. Mal 4:5-6 o Spirit of repentance, preparing the way of the Lord. Matthew 3:1-11 o Love for God a true worshipper. Obeys Jesus. Matthew 3:1317. o o Spirit of intimacy: Love for the Bride groom. Fasted life: eating locusts like John the Baptist. Eating locusts speaks of eating the devourer. Love of the truth. The degree you love truth you love Jesus. The sword of the Lord; knowing His word and proclaiming it. 2Kings 9:22. Faith and fearless courage. This is how you will quench every fiery dart of Jezebel. Set free from lust of the eyes and the flesh. Dont trade your key for the TV remote!!! Make sure you are filled with His love and you have overcome lust. If not, you might just fall for the outward appearance and be taken in by Jezebel. Beware of flattery, it is a sure sign Jezebel is near. She will try to seduce you when you come to throw her down. 2Kings 9:30; 1John2:16. We will only be free form lust if we deny pleasing our selves and seek to please God in everyway. No mercy on this evil spirit. Throw her down!!! This will take the Lion of Judah. 2Kings9:30-37. A Jehu company/team to destroy Jezebel and her covering. These are made up of teams of disciples not just Christians. 2 Kings 9:17,2037. The word company used here means abundance. There are three things majestic in pace.a king whose troops are with him. Proverbs 30:29a,31b. Working in teams under authority. King Jehu had a team of soldiers who with him to destroy the son of Jezebel. Jesus overcame Jezebel completely: How did Jesus deal with Jezebel when confronted by this spirit? o Matthew 16:21-23. From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and 23

suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You! But He turned and said to Peter, Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men. We see that Jesus recognized the enemy and rebuked Peter for being concerned about his own personal agenda and not pleasing the Father. At this point Peter was Jesus enemy. Jesus rebukes rebellion in the camp. o In John 6 we see Jesus ministering a very powerful word on His flesh and blood which the disciples choked on. Let us see what Jesus does when his disciples leave Him. Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can understand it? When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, Does this offend you?.....But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He said, Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father. From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. John6:60,63-66. Jesus did nothing in fact he now approaches the twelve with the question going through their minds. Then Jesus said to the twelve, Do you also want to go away? John6:67. Jesus never begged anyone to stay. Peter said where else can we go? They were obviously considering leaving because Jesus had offended them. Many times leaders will offend you but you need to submit regardless and ask God for understanding and love them whether they are right or wrong. Learn to pray for your leaders. Jesus the ultimate overcome and victor overcame Jezebel every time. Can you imagine loosing over 80% of your congregation of staff in one day. The real followers stayed behind and even then Judas the betrayer was 24

still left in the team. Jesus only left him in the team so he could fulfill scripture. He counsel of weeded Jezebel out long ago, but left her for a reason. We are not called to leave Jezebel in the camp but to root her out so the Holy Spirit can fill the house with his peace and glory and power.

Weapons against Jezebel: Gods government

Make sure you choose your weapons carefully, as these weapons are to completely overcome this force of hell. Ultimately the battle against Jezebel is all about government. Who will rule. Satan will try and rule through the spirit of Jezebel and God will rule through the spirit of Elijah and Jehu. Worship in Spirit and truth: Intimacy with Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Only those who know their God will be able to overcome this spirit. His manifest presence and His word are our key weapons. E.g. David dancing and Michal was offended. We need lead leaders who are like David who will be leading in extravagant worship of the Lord. David was a man after Gods heart. An extravagant joyful worshipper. This causes havoc in the demonic real and shuts the devils mouth Ps 8:2. This is true spiritual warfare. He fights for us. Psalm 149. No more entertainment in the Church, this is for jezebel and all who follow her. We must repent for trying to entertain people in Church our worship is for God pleasure not the peoples. Humility, submission and unity. Those who have willingness to be accountable and submit will stay free of Jezebel. An independent spirit is an open target for Jezebel. Beware of those who say they will not submit to man as they only submit to God. This is person married to Jezebel and will bring destruction in your camp. To walk in agreement is our aim. What happens when we are not in agreement with the one who is in authority over us? Do you rebel and open the door to Jezebel? No, you submit. Submission is when you dont agree, but you choose to humble yourself and submit to the God given authority in your life. You only have to submit when 25

you not in agreement. Jesus submitted to His Father will, over His own, in the Garden of Gethsemane. This submission broke satans back. Submission is the highest level of warfare as it is obedience. Obedience to our Father by submitting to imperfect man releases heaven on earth. When we submit we need to do it cheerfully and not grudgingly or under compulsion as the Lord loves a cheerful giver. This will really please the Lord and set you free from Jezebel. Once we are in cheerful submission then there will be unity, now God can bless this unity. This very unity is a very important weapon against Jezebel. That is why she comes in with strife and slander, to break any unity amongst Gods people. Gods government established. Know what godly authority is and how it works. Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
2

Therefore
3

whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
4

For he is Gods minister to you

for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is Gods minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. Romans 13:1-4. Honour Gods authority in your life. Both those over you and those under your authority. You only have authority in the garden that God has given you. Your home, church, team etc. Jehu knew God and knew his authority was from God. He was bold and had know fear of the retaliation. The Lion of Judah will arise. And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, given to Me in heaven and on earth. All authority has been
19

Go therefore and make

20

disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen. Matthew 28:18-20 o Know your authority in Christ and use it. Bind and loose. 26

Lines of authority

Faithfulness and obedience to instructions. Those who are faithful with little will also be trusted with much. If you can obey and be faithful to do a small thing like get to a meeting on time then how will you be trusted with nations. We need to have integrity and do what we say. We should not have to asked ten times to do one thing. These little foxes spoil the vine and open the door to Jezebel. In the army of God there is a chain of command. What happens if God decides to issue an instruction to a general in His army and someone down the line decides they dont feel like doing it of it isnt really important. This can cause major confusion and open the door to Jezebel. Jezebel comes to control through rebellion and manipulation, God controls through humility and obedience. The cross. o Deny self and take up cross. Then He said to them all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. and is himself destroyed or lost? Luke 9:23-25 Walking in the Spirit: o Once we walk in the Spirit we are free from Jezebels control. Romans 8:5-6, Galatians 5:16-18. Love for God and people: o For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. consumed by one another! Galatians 5:14-15 Love for truth: o Love truth more than your own life. Stand for the truth even if it kills you. o 2Thes 2:5-12. Overcoming the lawless spirit through the word and His presence. Speak the truth in love:
15 25 24

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world,

But if you

bite and devour one another, beware lest you be

27

If we are to have victory over this spirit, we will need to learn how to walk in love towards all people. One of the areas of weaknesses is when someone comes against me with pride and arrogance. As they attack me, I have an option either to humble myself and seek Jesus or exalt myself and seek my own way. If we choose to humble ourselves, we will defeat this spirit and disarm her. If we get angry and rise up in pride we will be defeated. I especially get upset when people around me under my authority, are trying to take chances with me by lying and abusing the situation and even being aggressive towards me. When all the time they are wrong. As soon as I rise up to the pride I get nowhere and damage the light that is shining. What I should do is humble myself, and say nothing unless the Lord shows me what to say. I need to guard my heart at all times. If we truly love the person we will share the truth in love or even keep quite. As a soft answer turns away anger. Jezebel will always try and draw us into this trap of anger. When I use the sword of His word with anger, instead of setting people free it will wound and destroy the person. This weapon is extremely powerful and should only be used with love, otherwise not at all. Only when we truly love the person can we help them with the word of God. As soon as we are angry we are in danger of destroying that which we have built in His love and humility. This does not mean we compromise the truth and listen to their slander and backbiting. We will need t tell them firmly in love that we are not gong to listen to slander about our brethren. Once we sense resistance against our authority as a leader, which comes from the spirit of Jezebel. We are now tempted to get angry and attack the person in the flesh and help Jezebel, to get an even bigger stronghold in the person whom she is using. So when I walk in the flesh, I am actually helping Jezebel to destroy and capture the person. Or we can now 28

obey the truth and do what Jesus says, and turn the other cheek. When we absorb the abuse, even though what the other person is doing is wrong, we now disarm the enemy through love and humility. One we are in obedience to God, He moves on our behalf sending in His Holy angels to destroy the enemy. The enemy will always seek to draw us into the flesh. Once we are in the flesh we are easily overcome by Jezebel. Love and humility will always conquer pride and rebellion. We must speak the truth in love. God is not asking us just to do whatever people want us to do, as we are not puppets. We must not allow Jezebel to pull our strings. In fact we need to detach any strong the any has attached to our flesh. We are set free by the cross of Jesus. The main areas Jezebel will try to attach in us is anger and pride. Therefore our number one focus as leaders is to love the Lord by loving the people who rebel and abuse us continually. He will lead us in the combat zone to win the fight through love, truth and humility. Love for righteousness and justice: o As Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne Psalm 89:14. Heaven cannot be released on earth, in your home, business or city unless His throne is established. Once He starts to release righteousness and justice in a city, business or home everything that is not in alignment will shake. Psalm 29:8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; The Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. Kadesh is the place where Israel got the evil report from the unbelieving spies and were all doomed to die except for Joshua and Caleb and all those 20 and under. When His righteousness comes forth it exposes unbelief. Our righteousness comes through faith when we are in unbelief we are in sin. We must believe the promises of God, for this will 29

be accounted as righteousness to us as it was to Abraham our father. Prayer and Fasting: Some demons will only come out through prayer and fasting. This is one of them. Prayer and fasting prepares our hearts for war. As we go war we need to know that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. Apostolic and prophetic anointing: This is the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. Zechariah 4:10 For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the Lord, Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth. Zerubbabel who laid the foundation of righteousness and justice represents the apostolic and prophetic. Those who lay foundations. The plumb line is the builders tool to measure the accuracy of the lines of the building. The plumb line is the word of God in the hand of Gods prophets and apostles across the earth. The Lord rejoices to see this measuring being done. The wise master builders are the true apostles. These are those who supervise the erection of buildings. These buildings are the churches and works of the Lord. For your ministry or business to be set free from Jezebel you will need to the help and guidance of a true apostle of the Lord. ( See notes on Gods government) Discipline: o Self discipline: Before we can effectively discipline others we need to be a disciplined disciple of Jesus. Whoever has no rule over his own spirit Is like a city broken down, without walls. Proverbs 25:28. We need to lead by example. How can we take cities if we dont have any self-control and discipline. Discipline of those under your authority: If we love righteousness and justice we will oppose anything that is in our homes, business, ministries that is not righteous and just. If you want your authority to be established in your garden then you will need to discipline those under your authority and even remove them from their positions if you want Gods authority to flow through you. Proverbs 25:5 says, Take 30

away the wicked from before the king, And his throne will be established in righteousness. If we love our children and anyone else whom we have authority over then we will discipline them as the word says. He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly. Proverbs 13:24. In order to throw down Jezebel we need to be totally dedicated to the Lord and have no other lovers. A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who speaks lies will not escape Chasten your son while there is hope, And do not set your heart on his destruction. Proverbs 19:5, 18 Those who threw Jezebel under Jehus instructions were the eunuchs whom she could not seduce. Only those who cannot be seduced by Jezebel will be able to throw her down from the window. You will need strength to discipline people because their flesh and that spirit of Jezebel will fight it. If you are wise you will do it consistently with an even temper. A king who sits on the throne of judgment Scatters all evil with his eyes.A wise king sifts out the wicked, And brings the threshing wheel over them. Proverbs 20:8,26.

THE BATTLE PLAN AND STRATEGY

The battle begins. We now know who our enemy is, how she operates and what shes after. How do we comprehensively throw down this spirit? Jezebel can only come in through a host/ person/s. Her assignment is to take your authority and make you an Ahab. Your job is to cast her down and destroy her. This confrontation is a very serious battle in the spirit realm. Count the cost and dont underestimate the battle. This battle will cost your very life as only those who die 31

completely to self will be able destroy the strongholds of Jezebel in their midst. If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it. Luke 14:26-28 1. Prepare yourself. a. This is a spiritual battle and you will need to really seek the Lord and get His power to throw this spirit down. b. Get cleaned up go through the list and see what in you makes you and Ahab. See if there is any strong hold that Jezebel has in you. c. I suggest you start to fast and pray, when you take on this spirit as some demons will only come out with prayer and fasting. If it is your ministry or organisation then a corporate fast will release some serious power to expose this spirit. Once she is exposed you need power to face her and cast her down. d. First bind the strongman: We need to bind the Spirit of Jezebel only once we have fully repented for allowing her in our house. Matthew 12:29 Or how can one enter a strong mans house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. e. Go to the garden of Gethsemane where you will die to self and be crushed so that the anointing of God will flow destroying satans hold over your life the very area of your dominion. 2. Set a goal: What is your goal? a. First goal will be to occupy the land, the vision God has given you. For your home ministry etc. b. To prepare a dwelling place for God i. God is looking for place of peace and love then He will come and rest. 3. Identify your enemy: a. Go through the list of Jezebels characteristic and weapons and see what is happening in your field of authority. Once you have identified these weakness and threats. Now put a plan together to drive Jezebel out and build the walls and close the doors to Jezebel permanently.

32

b. Confusion and lack of clarity: If there is confusion in the ranks you will end up having huge problems identify why the confusion exists. Check both the spiritual areas and the practical organisational areas. Example, is there plan for the ministry, are their policies in place etc. Do you as Family have God plan for your lives? What is you home code of conduct? c. Satan is the author of confusion, chaos and disorder. When the earth was without form and void, God spoke and brought order from chaos. God loves to restore and redeem things. He loves to bring order and life where there is chaos and death. 4. What type of leader are you? We are currently sitting with a leadership crisis in many areas. The question is; what is the right way to lead? To learn this we need to look at the lives of the most successful leaders in the scriptures. The ultimate leader is Jesus. a. Four types of leaders: i. Autocratic: 1. Authoritarian self pleasing person. They want worship. Who doesnt take others input in decisions and only seeks to please them selves in every decision. They love to make slaves like Pharaoh did with Israel. To serve their own grandiose plans. They normally are born into position of kill or stand on people to get into power. Extremely power hungry and aggressive. There authority comes from their own selfish ambition and aggressive efforts. 2. Pride and arrogance: They know best and they think it as well. They always want to be in control of everything. They cant delegate as they are the only one who can do it properly. 3. These leaders are the prime authority abusers and exercise authority primarily for there own benefit. They usually surround themselves with people who will not speak the truth and follow Jesus. Jesus said we must be the greatest servants to be the greatest leaders. These leaders like a lots of people

33

around them serving them. This makes them feel secure and proud of their exalted position. ii. Democratic: 1. This is the politician man pleaser. Who always plays for the crowd. They go what ever way the people want them to go. Their authority comes primarily through the approval of man. Ahab was this type. They are not real leaders as the people tell them what to say and do. They are normally spineless when the heat is on they will melt. Say they love God, and put people first. Their reputation is everything. They play to the crowd as their authority comes through pleasing man. 2. False humility. They abdicate their duties and give them to someone else. 3. This is the best man can do with iii. Autodemocratic: 1. This leader is combo. Going between herod and Jezebel. He doesnt quite know what he is. Sometimes he autocratic sometimes he is democratic. Yet he is always pleasing himself. Saul was this type. 2. These are authority abusers if they dont get there own way and if they feel threatened in any way. iv. Theocratic: 1. The humble God pleaser. Who will always walk in the fear of the Lord and do only what they see the Father doing. Their authority comes directly from the Father in heaven. Moses, Samuel, David, Daniel and Jesus were this type of leader. They get the vision from the Father and share it with the people who follow the Fathers heart. They Love God first and put people second. Jesus chose God over His own mother and brothers. Matthew 12:46-50. Gods glory and honour is the most important thing to them. 2. They also work in teams or council. Proverbs 11:14 Where there is no counsel, the people fall; 34

But in the multitude of counselors there is safety. They are accountable to other people. They wait for the corporate leading before just making major decisions for the ministry of business. Those who just make decisions and do not take wise godly council will end up falling into many traps. They are loners who will be easy prey for spiritual pride. 3. True humility: They take the mandate God has given them and run with it. They will be teachable. v. Actions to take: 1. What areas do you have to change to be a Jesus type leader? a. Make a list of areas you have to change. 2. Strengths: a. What areas are you like Jesus? 3. Weaknesses: a. Write down your leadership style and highlight the weakness and ask the Lord to help you become more like Jesus. b. Repent to the Lord and those under your authority for anything that is not in line with Jesus. When we humble our selves we take the enemies weapons. 4. Threats: a. What areas in your leadership style is a threat to you and your camp. b. Who in your camp threatens your leadership and authority?

5. Planning and knowing your role a. Some misconceptions in the Body of Christ today: i. Planning is not spiritual and not godly. The more spiritual you are the less you plan. 1. These and other similar beliefs has stopped the Body of Christ from advancing for many years. We need to 35

know the planning was Gods idea. He planned the universe and everything in it. ii. Plans are restrictive. 1. Only if you are not listening to the Lord. His plans are very focused and through this focus release tremendous liberty as you now dont get taken by every wind that blows through town. b. The role of King versus role of a prophet: Prophets like to fly, kings like to plan and build. It is vital that prophets learn to work with apostles as they both work differently. Yet the apostle/ king needs to arise, for the prophet to have safe place to stay. Have a look at David. David had a kingly apostolic calling on his life. He built the kingdom and set in order the tabernacle with all the order for the Levites. The Nathan lived freely within Davids house. Although David submitted to the word of the Lord given by Nathan, David still ruled. This is how the true apostolic needs to operate. The true apostolic will always submit to the word of the Lord given by the prophet, be they a woman or even a child. The false apostolic: When Saul ruled he organised the kingdom for himself and eventually killed the Lords own priests. There is a fleshly government and organisation, and there is a spiritual organisation. Organisation is not good or evil, it is tool even God uses. It can be used by satan and it can be used by God to build His kingdom. Heaven is very ordered and organised you can see by the tremendous detail around the throne room. There are not things just laying around in heaven everything is in place, so too should we be in place. God is a God of order. Wherever we go we should bring godly order both spiritual and practical. As the endtime battle is against the spirit of lawlessness, we need to make sure we bring order wherever we go. This includes obeying the rules set down in our countries and organisations. c. Disorganisation is an open door to Jezebel I went through a time when I thought any form of organisation was from the flesh and the enemy. The Lord opened my eyes to see that 36

He is highly organised and structured. There is perfect order and harmony in heaven the angels are in structured within a hierarchy. If organisation is from the devil then Moses, David and Solomon were missing it when they organised the Tabernacle. Moses structured all the tribes into thousands, hundreds and tens. David structured teams of singers and priests who were designated certain responsibilities at certain times. We are after all a body of believers. Your body is highly organised and efficient with a complete built in management system; given to your body, by God. Who tells your heart to pump you lungs to breathe? Your body is pre-programmed before you are even born. I have had teams both disorganised and organised, the more organised and clearer people are about their roles and functions the more effective the team is. Can you imagine a Symphony Orchestra that never had a conductor and a music sheet, to play from? It would be chaos with no harmony. The team leader plays the role of the conductor, and the music sheet is the agreed plan and system they work with. Once this is in place the harmony can now be developed. If you stay disorganised authority will always be questioned leaving the door wide open to Jezebel. Discipline will be very difficult to apply when there is rebellion. You need to implement a godly planning and management system in any organisation, if you dont it will be torn apart by Jezebels hordes of hell. Remember as you start to implement this order those under Jezebels spell will be the first to kick against it. They will need ti be disciplined. 6. Leaders strategy: a. Spiritual strategy: Leaders need to overcome the spirit of Ahab in them and the spirit of Jezebel operating through others under their authority. i. Start with serious prayer, fasting and faith. You cant play with this spirit. You must get violent to take your place and your inheritance that God has given you. ii. Identify all the areas in your life where you are operating under the Ahab spirit. 37

iii. Repent and ask the Lord to help you overcome these weaknesses. Develop and write down the plan as the Lord gives it to you, review the strategy on a regular basis. iv. Once you have done this ask the Lord for plan of how to overcome Jezebel. v. Get your keys back. 1. Take your authority back from those you have given it to. You will need to confront these people in love and repent to them for giving them your keys. 2. Get your garden back!!! Then the earth b. Practical strategy: Gods government i. Draw up plans and strategies for your personal life, family, business and ministry. If you need help I can send you a basic outline for business / ministry plans and your personal eternal plan. ( Contact the office for the eternal plan and business plan document) These are the bones of the body or organisation, You still need the people/ flesh and the breathe/ Holy Spirit come into your home, business can start to walk and take dominion. ii. Draw up policies and procedures set the rules for the organisation, home etc. 1. Remember any one who doesnt want to operate under rules is operating under lawlessness. 2. Dont draw up too many rules keep it very simple. So that children will understand. 3. Draw up disciplinary procedures and policies. iii. Basic set of Documents: For personal, home, ministry or business use. 1. You need to have a basic set of corporate governance documents: a. Strategic plan or Personal Eternal plan b. Core values c. Policies and procedures(for ministries & businesses) d. Disciplinary code e. Personnel files for each staff member. 38

f.

Induction process for new staff

g. Performance reviews c. Know your metron: i. Is your area of authority. ii. You need to know exactly where your metron starts and ends. iii. Dont overstep your bounds. iv. Beware of authority abuse: You cant force people to do anything. Although in an organisation you can discipline them. However in a discipler to disciple relationship you can only discipline if they are in sin. They cannot be order to do things unless they are working for you with in some type of organisation. 7. Subordinates strategy: Those under authority. a. As a subordinate you will need to overcome the spiritual leadership vacuum where satan sends his forces to occupy. b. You will need to resist the spirit of Jezebel in your own life. c. You will need to submit to the leaders God puts in your life even though they are not perfect. d. Wives to submit to their own husbands, subordinates to there managers, disciples to those who disciple them. 8. Implement the strategy: Throw her down!!! a. Start to disciple those under your authority: i. Implement weekly discipleship meetings with each family or staff member under your authority. 1. If you dont train your family or staff then they will be an open target for Jezebel. God says, My people perish because of a lack of knowledge ii. Weekly accountability meetings. 1. This keep the disciples clean and on track with the Lord. iii. To get more details contact the office for the Disciples of Jesus manual and the disciplers manual. iv. Confronting the person:

39

When dealing with the person under Jezebels control: Beware of the traps: 1. Dont call the person a Jezebel as they cant be; Jezebel is a demonic power and principality. No person is capable of such power. The power released is a spiritual force and can only addressed spiritually. The person is oppressed by the spirit. We must see the two as separate in order to minister to them. 2. Arguing to prove our point. Fighting fire with fire doesnt work. You need to fight spirit through the power of the Holy Spirit. 3. Love them continually in truth. b. Measure and manage. You need to set down a clear job description with measurement criteria. Remember you cannot manage or steward what you do not measure. Know the state of your flock. c. Apply discipline i. Why discipline? The motive. 1. To please the Lord. If we dont discipline we are placing people above God which is idolatry. We must not be Like Eli who failed to discipline His sons. He to was ruled by Jezebel. 1 Samuel 2:22-36. 2. Because you love the people and want to see them set free from this spirit. Hebrews 12: 6 3. To bring godly order and peace in your garden. 4. To save the rest of the team from contamination. 1Corinthians 5:6-7 Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
7

Therefore purge out the old

leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Sin is like leaven it spreads through the people like a disease. ii. How do you discipline? 1. Discipline your own house first: Many have become disqualified to lead in Gods house because they are 40

unable to rule in their own houses. 1Timothy 3:4-5. Love begins at home and so does discipline, as God disciplines those He loves. He even starts in His own house first. For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 1Peter 4:17 2. Discipline needs to be applied consistently. Proverbs 11:1 3. Dont delay discipline: Many times you will want to delay discipline, this is a fatal mistake, as evil will multiply the longer you wait to discipline. Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Ecclesiastes 8:11 Discipline needs to be applied speedily. Proverbs 13:24 He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly. 4. Discipline with love: Make sure you always discipline the person in love. If you do this your throne will be established. Mercy and truth preserve the king, And by lovingkindness he upholds his throne. Proverbs 20:28. The trap here is for people to only discipline when they have lost their temper, somehow feeling justified now to shout at and discipline the person because of there anger. This is not God love and you have just been caught in Jezebels trap. You are weakened as soon as you sin in front of Jezebel. You need to love the person and discipline them in a spirit of gentleness. Ephesians 4:15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the headChrist. 5. Watch out for bouncing. This spirit will bounce around from person to person who ever is open for attack. This can happen especially when you start to discipline a person that is under the influence of Jezebel. This spirit will start to jump onto other staff 41

looking for a host. Jezebel will only be thrown down once everyone has been delivered from this spirit. If they dont want deliverance then they will either resign end up being dismissed. Those with who are open for Jezebel either to use them or abuse their God given authority need to watch their own hearts. For example, You can be attacked by Jezebel through someone under you authority and then be used by Jezebel when you are under someone elses authority. Remember we get authority through submission, as the wise and faith filled centurion pointed out to Jesus. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it. When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! Mathew 8:8-10

9. Dont give in, dont give up a. No matter how many times you fall you need to say to your self, I will never give up. If I dont give up I will eventually overcome. Just keep getting up and going back to your King. fight. This is a fight we will win if we dont give up. b. Remember this is full scale combat. You need to set your mind to fight until you win. We fight the good

REMEMBER THE REWARDS FOR THROWING JEZEBEL DOWN a. You will be pleasing God b. Peace in your house c. Fulfilling your destiny d. God will now dwell in your house. e. Gods provision and blessings will be on you and your team. 42

f.

People can now be saved and discipled. Kingdom of God will keep coming.
