Jezebel’s Present Working in the “Church”

Part one : Jezebel’s Present Working in the “Church”

For years we in the prophetic church have been aware of the spirit of Jezebel and the battle with her. She is a spiritual wickedness that rules in high places. I now fear that some who early taught about her have been caught in her trap. She is a seductress. She seduces Jah’s peoples to turn against prophets. She hates prophets for they have the key to her undoing.

Jezebel is the spirit that teaches Jah’s servants to commit fornication, to eat things sacrificed to idols. In the beginning the “Jezebel teaching”, went through the prophetic church, and the church embraced the knowledge, because it gave understanding as to why church had become so difficult. Sadly it only understood in part the things that were being revealed. It reacted religiously by ostracizing those who had sexual misconduct in their lives. We also saw rising a male domination over any woman who spoke contrary to the established male control of the church. Then we saw women sneaking around trying to get the ‘goods” on men who they felt rejected their gift. It was a mess. Still is mostly. Many turned totally away from the prophetic in that hour.

Jezebel loved the reaction, of the immature prophetic church to the teaching of her existence. Many a man of God was destroyed by both allegation and accusation from men and women who were trying to honor Jah in dealing with Jezebel. In that, she gleefully danced in their blood. Through, accusations based in the “True”, as opposed to the truth, or through out and out lie, Jezebel gave an inroad to the start of much of the conflagration that came into the prophetic church in the last twenty years. Many who were called, were therefore un-chosen.

Jezebel is still at work in the church and therefore in the nation. She is still teaching Jah’s servants to eat things sacrificed to idols. Did you get it? Not just mere lad’s are seduced, but Jah’s servants. Jezebel is active in church. In fact she is the lord of most of what is happening in church circles. Being a seductress this spirit comes in many forms. (Yes more then tempting us sexually!) Sexual temptation was all the church seemed to be able to comprehend for the last twenty years of battle with this spirit. That first- dimension battle focus, freed Jezebel to actively fight the church from receiving the truth about the third day, and the third dimension of God’s glory. I speak of the repentance unto the kingdom truth which is a message the church must hear and obey if it every wants to be true to Jah’s call in this hour.

Sadly, the church is still bewitched by Jezebel concerning the kingdom.

Gal 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Rom 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

The effect of Jezebel’s bewitching is that the cross is obscured. In that obscuring, we lose Jah’s righteousness and put our works in its place. We lose peace, and put busy-ness and entertainment in as sad substitutes. What ever keeps us from focusing on the truth is church focus. And we lose, joy. In fact we never find joy in church. Joy is the fruit of one who cannot be seduced into man doctrine, nor impressed by man accomplishments.

Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

The kingdom is not what we do for Jah. It is His reward in worshipped relationship with Jah! The kingdom is not earned or kept by servitude. It is Jah’s good pleasure to give it.

Luk 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

In the book of Revelation, in the messages to the churches, Jezebel is mentioned as being allowed to teach Jah’s servants to fornicate and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Rev 2:20 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.

How sad it is when Jah released the warnings about Jezebel so many years ago now, that the church with a religious mind set went on a witch-hunt against, sexual impropriety in the church. Sad because we strained at the gnat and swallowed the camel. Sure that is part of the message. But, now unchecked, Jezebel flows through our so-called worship services almost unimpeded. The things we eat sacrificed to idols, are the doctrines that cause us to believe that we can have Jah on our terms in our way. Religious traditions are the only thing capable of nullifying the word of God.

Mark 7:13“Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.”

Yes brother, even our worship of Jah must be done in order. Yet know, I do not speak of man control when I say “order”. I speak of Holy Spirit order, which may include forms of worship that most respectable church folks do not embrace not would they allow. Loud or soft, shouting, and dancing, music and song, are all acceptable in their time. But the heart is the key. The key of David is on Jah’s shoulder… and it’s a cross. Worship includes a cross.

Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Jezebel hates obedience. Praise and thanksgiving can be offered in partial obedience. But worship requires a cross. When life-changing worship comes to a group, Jezebel activates!

The Story of Abraham and his Offering: What is worship? (Gen. 22)

To illustrate worship, we look at the story of Abraham as he was called to offer up His promised son. First know that this Isaac, was a son-one whom he loves. But not only was Isaac his beloved son, but he was his promised son. This was the one necessary to produce seed as the stars of heaven. Now, Isaac was born at a late date in Abraham’s life, and in much controversy to he and Sarah. Sarah’s test, was to endure the shame of childlessness first, and then of the taunting of Ishmael and Hagar. The gaining of their promised son, was a hard and long battle for the couple.

Abraham, had to believe for the promise against great misdirection in circumstances of life. He had to trust Jah, even though their bodies were aging. Then he had to take up his only son, and offer him to Jah. He had to go on a journey to do this. For this was obedience.

We never worship Jah without releasing faith. We never worship without offering, and without faith it is impossible to please Jah. Pass this test through the cross and you’ll find this wisdom:

Our journey is not measured in miles, nor degree of offering, but in obeisance.

Obeisance
“ "act or fact of obeying," from O.Fr. obeissance "obedience," from obeissant, prp. of obeir "obey," from L. oboedire (see obey). Sense in Eng. alt. late 14c. to "bending or prostration of the body as a gesture of submission or respect" by confusion with abaisance”

Obeisance is taking our sacrifice of praise, our wealth and all we are, and offering it unto the king. It is obedient worship. It is ordered worship.

Isa 66:2 For all those [things] hath mine hand made, and all those [things] have been, saith the LORD: but to this [man] will I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

Isa 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Jah, the God of love, who gave his son Jahshuwah, in love, desires us to love Him.

Jhn 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Jezebel hates obedience, therefore Jezebel teaches Jah’s servants to eat things sacrificed to idols, as opposed to eating of the truth of Jah. She offers a false form of worship.

All lies are sacrifices to an idol. The idol may be Baal, Mammon, Jezebel, Korah, Cain, or Ballam, but it is an idol. The idol may be Hindu, Allah, Buddha, Cali, or any other religion, but it is still an idol. There is only one God. He is true. There is only one way, He is Yahweh. He is the way, the truth and the life. He is Alpha and Omega, He is Lord. He comes as fully God of all, and lives in men’s hearts. (The mystery of Christ and the Church )

If we don’t love Jah with our whole hearts, we will offer Him something less then worship every moment of every day.

So Abraham packed up His only son, Isaac, and went to the mountain. He took wood for the fire, and
an instrument to slay the offering, but no apparent offering. So Jah gave the lamb. In truth the journey and the obedience were Abraham’s sacrifice. God accounted his faith back to him as Righteousness. So the “called out” man Abraham, entered the first dimension of the kingdom through true worship.

So you hear Jah calling you up to worship? Only believe. Then obey.

Now when you become a worshiper, you get the attention of Jezebel. Jezebel effects all churches.
The greater the worship, the greater the battle. We labor to enter Jashuwah’s rest. Her work is to misdirect, cause confusion, strife, and every evil work. She is a liar and a murder and uses lies to teach Jah’s best to go astray. Jezebel comes to disrupt worship. Abraham would never have obtained his promise had he not “gone to the mountain. “

Abraham’s worship dealt with his own fear, his trust of Jah, His willingness to give what he had been given as a promise and to give his most loved son and to sum it up, it cost him obeisance. I will tell you, true worship will cost you the same. Each time you yield, Jezebel will speak a lie why you should not.

Listen to her lies, stray just a bit, and you will lose focus on Jah.

Worship is “Jah focus”. Worship is living in the now of God. His abiding presence. The difference between a churchman and a kingdom son is vast. One thing is sure, a son of THE SON, as the true sons of Isaac, dig wells and find inheritance. Philistines fill them in. Worship digs through the dirt, and finds water/gold. I call this digging “the process”.

Jezebel hates repentance. Jezebel hates humility. The word of Jah spoken through a humble and repentant man strips this demon of her power. The Word of God spoken through a worshipped heart, will defeat this demon. But sadly I must tell you this:

She’ll be back.

Why? Because we only dislodge her from the place where we hold legitimate responsibility. Some one will empower this demon again in your life, church, ministry, and on and on. Remember she is a principality. We wrestle with these demons.

She is a principality and we do wrestle the territory from her. Legitimate responsibility gives you legitimate authority over her. Jezebel is illegitmate in all her dealings. But if you have no claim to authority in a ministry, you have no ability to totally rout this demon there. Your repentant humble heart dislodges her from power over you. Repentance in one heart is contagious. Revival starts somewhere.
But the proud give her power in a fellowship.

Prophets who stand against Jezebel have been deemed “The Elijah Company”. Just as Elijah did war with Jezebel in his day, so will it be with the "Elijah Company" of this day. Jezebel hates all called into this company of people. Jezebel is out to kill the "Spirit of Elijah". Anyone who hears the call into overcoming worship, will do war with this demon, as she works so subtly to kill faith. She uses man, and it is through people that her stings are often released. It is people, who lend themselves to her use. Without bewitched vessels, she cannot release her power.

Those that do overcome in worship, will be given the right to rule nations during the events "at the end".

We must face the fact that few have yielded fully to Jah, as Abraham did. Those who do are true worshippers. If your church activity takes no faith, it is not worship. The good news is that it is always the few who hear the call that take up their cross. It is always the few that hear the message of “Repent unto the kingdom and obey”. But it will only take a few. Humility is the key to worship. Worship is the key to power. Repentance unto the kingdom is the key to enter this glorious place called God’s Kingdom, the third day of Jahshuwah , the seventh day of Jah. You are the offering Jah desires.

Prayer: Lord we repent of our own methods and means in worship. We obey you. We love you. We keep your commands. We offer up our lives as sacrifices unto you. We will not fall into the bewitching of performance religion. We offer our “wills” as proof of our resolve to worship in your order. We repent unto the kingdom, which is Your righteousness , peace, and Joy, in Your Spirit.
