Key Revelation Concerning Jezebel and Intimidation

 

Why does this keep happening to me?  My pastor friend sat sobbing in her office about another encounter with a Jezebel stronghold and I was relating to her entire story!  Why?  Because her story was also my  past story.  I have sat numerous times in my own office regretting a conflict with someone influenced by a Jezebel spirit. How quickly the memory of being controlled, manipulated and yes, intimidated I felt while under it's evil assignments.   The story that led to it all?  Well, it would take more than a quick blog....but what I am posting now will  hopefully empower you.   Allow me to equip you with another key that will unlock more revelation concerning how to understand the tactics of Jezebel's intimidations.

 

The end result of a pastor, counselor or leader with battle scars from a Jezebel encounter almost always begins with him/her counseling and/or  pastoring someone with good intentions, someone feeling very unfulfilled, and that same someone looking for a ministry or church home to "lock into."  Then there is the pastor, elder or leadership team with a heart's desire to   really  help that particular "someone." 

 

It's so true...God places it on His servant's hearts to help those in need, and provides a place of refuge for those needing healing and restoration as well as training and equipping to advance the Kingdom.  The main issue is this- the Church is two-fold; a place for healing and also a place for training and equipping.  First, to be an effective warrior, we must be healed from past wounds.  Then there is a time to move past our past and enter into a season of training and equipping.  However, there is often a huge chasm between the two.  The transition between being wounded and shifting into become spiritually mature is always a time of testing.

 

The Test

I have realized that after 30 years of ministry there is always a test whenever you are pastoring or mentoring someone in times of transition.  The person in transition is experiencing a test...and the mentor (pastor, leader, etc) is also  experiencing a test!  When ministering to someone who is strongly influenced by a Jezebel spirit we must realize that the spirit will almost always rise up to intimidate godly leadership.  The spirit of Jezebel is a controlling and manipulating spirit.  The demonic forces behind Jezebel can be so intimidating that the person anointed to help the demonically influenced saint believes that they are not equipped   or  anointed to help!  However, truth is this- we have been given all power and authority over ALL demonic spirits- especially Jezebel!

 

I have had to confront many different people influenced by a Jezebel spirit numerous times- and one sure clue as to whether I am dealing with a Jezebel spirit or not is if I feel intimidated!  My test is this- will I trust who I am in God, stand up to this intimidating spirit and operate in my godly assignment or cower down and try to ignore it's  in your face attitude just daring you to confront it!

 

Then there is the test concerning the person being influenced by the Jezebel spirit-  will he/she repent and submit? Ouch!  Repentance?  Submission?  Two words that push people's buttons- I know.  But remember, Jezebel hates repentance!  And we know in Scripture that she basically controlled her husband, King Ahab, and really didn't submit to any authority at all. To get it's way, the spirit rises up to intimidate legitimate authority with hopes that it will disqualify godly discernment. This spirit is bent on hood-winking those with discernment, gain influence through false flattery and move in for the kill through control and manipulation!

 

False Doctrines and False Christs

 

So there you have it.  Another key to a Jezebel influence.  I have written two books concerning the Jezebel spirit and I highly recommend them both. ( Breaking the Threefold Demonic Cord  and The Jezebel Yoke).    This is an end time spirit that seeks to illegally seize control in the local church and promote false prophets and false Christs.  Dear ones, there are many false doctrines arising as I write this blog!

 

If you have felt intimidated, it's important to bind the spirit of Jezebel and declare the Word of the Lord. Use the Word of the Lord as your sword and destroy her influence and her voice.

 

Allow me to impart to you now and pray for you:

Father God, I pray for those who have felt the result of a Jezebel spirit and the intimidation connected to it.  I break the power of the demonic control and I loose him/her from this assignment in Jesus name.  I pray for the Jehu empowerment that completely destroys Jezebel and take the Word of the Lord,. the sword of the Spirit and declare VICTORY in Jesus name.  Amen!

Impartation:
I impart the Jehu anointing to defeat Jezebel and impart the courage to confront all opposition from every Jezebel spirit in the mighty name of Jesus.   I impart the ability to take a firm stand against every Jezebel stronghold that attempts to rob you of your spiritual authority.  I impart godly wisdom of how to love the person, the child of God, but resist the evil spirit of Jezebel. ( Now open your heart  and your hands to receive it now).  Amen

The Spirit of Intimidation

There are many different ways that Satan organizes his forces in attempts to oppose us and our victory in Christ.  One of his evil weapons he uses against us is intimidation.  The definition of intimidation implies a way that the enemy causes us to act timid or fearful.  It also implies the different ways the enemy might cause us to be disheartened. 

David and Goliath

I believe Goliath tried this opposition against David.  Sure, Goliath was bigger than David- he was a giant!  But Goliath's size didn't matter to David, this is because David knew his God and he also knew that due to his relationship with God that God would protect him.  After, all, while in the fields protecting his father's sheep, David slew a lion and a bear and surely the Lord would deliver this uncircumcised Philistine to him also!         (Read 1 Samuel 17:36-38).

Goliath hurled accusations against David to intimidate him further.  He mocked him about his looks, his small stature and his age- all inspired false accusations to cause David to lose heart and fear. 

Yet, the more Goliath attempted to intimidate David, the stronger, more courageous and more determined David became!

The Slingshot

David slew Goliath with the weapon that God had given to him at the time.  Think about it- a slingshot and not a rifle.  A slingshot and not a sword.  A slingshot and not an arrow.  Saul gave David his armour, helmet and sword to use to defeat Goliath.  But David had not tested this equipment yet, it was completely unfamiliar to him.  David used what he had been trained to use- his slingshot.  Dear ones, we must never try to walk in someone else's armour.  We cannot be someone other than who God created us to be.  Nor can we attempt to use any weapon of warfare that is foreign to us.  Many believers compare their spiritual gifting with others- we cannot remain effective warriors if we are attempting to imitate someone else.  We are in a season where God is sharpening our individual weapons and gifting.  The enemy will attempt to intimidate you by declaring that your weapon or gifting is not effective.  But use the slingshot you have!  Your prayer is a slingshot to the enemy.  Your prophetic decree is a slingshot that will smite your Goliath!  Your praise is the slingshot needed to cause your enemy to fall before you!

The Battle of the Mind

Satan uses intimidation to defeat us in our minds!  Yes, it is so true, the real battle is in our minds.
False words of the enemy can easily become a fortress of unbelief if we choose to believe what Satan says about rather than what God says.  Actually, and please try to remember this- we cannot afford to believe opposite of what God says about us!  Ponder that a moment.  We really can't afford to believe what Satan declares concerning us, our children, our relationships, our future, our businesses, etc! If we believe Satan's lies it can cost us- big time!

Goliath attempted to destroy David first with his words of intimidation.  Believer, the enemy does the same with us!  Let's not allow Satan's words to become a fortress in our minds but rather take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.(See 2 Cor 10:4-5).
 

Dear believer, let me encourage you today!  You have a war manual, the Holy Bible, that is packed full of scriptures that reveal the record of victory already determined and decided due to the Blood of Jesus!  Now that, my friends, is a slingshot, indeed!

A book that I would recommend at this time would be  Silencing the Accuser:  Eight Lies Satan Uses Against Believers.  (Click on the button "Books" for more information and then click on lifegatechurch.org to order). I have devoted an entire book to teach you how to tear down every fortress your enemy attempts to build to defeat you!  You can be victorious!  God says that you already are victorious through Christ.  Amen!

 

Are You in the Millionaire Zone?

It never seems to fail...I begin to prophesy financial breakthrough and almost immediately I am challenged in something concerning finances. Maybe everytime you have made a similar declaration the same happens to you!  If you can relate, keep reading, then!  You are being positioned to receive divine revelation concerning your finances and breakthroughs!

Millionaire Zones

  Just a few weeks ago I was preaching in our local church, Lifegate Church International, in Hurst, Texas, and I prophesied for the second time that God was releasing "Millionaire Zones."  As I prophesied this, I was seeing in the spirit vaults filled with money being unlocked.  Finances were being unlocked and breakthrough was coming to believers.  I prophesied a Millionaire Zone at one of our meetings almost three years ago and let me tell you...it has happened!  People are on their way to becoming millionaires. Testimonies have been coming in on a continual basis.  I believe it is God's will to bless His children- regardless of what the economy attempts to dictate.  But let me get back to me-  and how I was literally targeted by the enemy concerning finances.

I didn't know it then- but I am certainly aware of it now- that I have had a generational curse of a Midianite stronghold.  If you remember Gideon, in Judges chapter 6, was fearful concerning his harvest.   He was hiding in a winepress threshing his harvest!  Now, anyone with any sense at all knows this is not the place to thresh wheat!  But, the Midianites and other tribes had been coming at every time of harvest and stealing Israel's harvest.  Yes, it was a constant cycle or oppression, depression, doubt and unbelief and lack.  When I realized that I had cycles when the enemy was able to steal, I began to break off that Midianite spirit that attempted to steal my harvest! Whenever I began to break the power of this ungodly pattern, we began to experience financial breakthrough again.

 



The Spirit of Poverty and Lack

 

The Midianite curse is only one of  issues and financial curses that  I teach about in my conferences concerning financial breakthrough.  I would like to invite you to come and personally sit through my teaching on  Breaking the Financial Curses of Lack and Poverty  that Lifegate Church is hosting August 7-8, 2015.  You can go online to www.lifegatechurch.org and register.   If you cannot attend, you may want to read my book  Conquering the Spirits of Greed and Poverty which can be ordered by clicking on the Lifegate Church button on this site. 

Dear believer, it's time that we all realized that we are promised an open heaven of God's blessings.  Let's get set free from any doubt and unbelief that hinder us and also break off any generational curses that have attached themselves to our breakthroughs! 

Hope to see you there!  Come and believe that you will receive a Milloionaire Zone impartation. 

As always,

Be abundantly blessed!
