Part III The Strategies of Jezebel by Robin Kirby-Gatto 1/20/11 Holy Spirit showed me much of the tactics Jezebel uses in attacking others in order to continue her ruling and reigning. Jezebel has taken a position of “queen” in the natural when she married King Ahab. Likewise in the spirit, the spirit of Jezebel is a queen, one that rules in reigns in the demonic realm. Let me first preface this by saying everyone has some type of control tendency or leaning in their fallen nature, their sin nature. Therefore, not every control issue is of Jezebel. Remember we are born into this fallen world with iniquitous roots and our flesh, both of which we have to overcome. What I am referring to here is the actual spirit of Jezebel that’s entire desire and intent is to take dominion over others to rob them of their destiny, add to her own camp, and bring about death by causing others to worship other idols and commit acts in which she leads many people astray from the Living God, as seen in Revelation 2:20. The deceit comes in when it truly looks as though she is serving the Living God, but she truly is not because she is in rebellion to God’s plans and purposes, but rather she is having others serve her and she herself is serving Baal and Asherah. Moreover, this spirit manipulates others so that when she is operating she has them utterly convinced she is serving the Living God and she is operating and controlling others out of their own woundedness that they truly think she is a hero of sorts. Usually, the Jezebel spirit will try and rise to a place of authority if she can in order to usurp authority. We will get into her tactics in a minute. Remember, when I say her, I am referring to the spirit of Jezebel but it can operate through males and females. Again we are to separate the spirit of Jezebel from the person through whom it is operating. The person through whom the spirit is operating has allowed it to do so as a result of their own woundedness from a series of injuries they received in their life of abuse, rejection, abandonment and shame. Therefore, it is necessary to pray for the person through whom it is operating. Here, we are going to be talking about overthrowing the spirit not the person. God hates this spirit and He clearly demonstrates in His word that He does not tolerate this spirit in the book of revelation. 19I know your record and what you are doing, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your recent works are more numerous and greater than your first ones. 20But I have this against you: that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess [claiming to be inspired], and who is teaching and leading astray my servants and beguiling them into practicing sexual vice and eating food sacrificed to idols. [I Kings 16:31; II Kings 9:22, 30.] Revelation 2:19-20 God does not tolerate the spirit of Jezebel and it is necessary for us to see and understand that we are in a Holy War, the War that Satan has brought upon this earth when he fell from heaven. Satan hates God and has longed to take as many souls with him to hell before the final judgment day. Therefore, the ultimate goal of the spirit of Jezebel is to bring about spiritual death to others. If the spirit cannot bring about spiritual death then the ultimate goal is to stop the person’s destiny and/or bring death to their marriage, family, etc. The goal of the Jezebel spirit is to destroy, bring about death. This happens as a result of her enticing people not to do the will of the Father, of God. 13Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. 14But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. 15Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves. 16You will fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? 17Even so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit [worthy of admiration], but the sickly (decaying, worthless) tree bears bad (worthless) fruit. 18A good (healthy) tree cannot bear bad (worthless) fruit, nor can a bad (diseased) tree bear excellent fruit [worthy of admiration]. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. Matthew 7:13-19 AMP Here, Jesus is saying that we are to be sober so that we are not deceived by false prophets. The false prophets are what set at Jezebel’s table; the ones whom she had carry out the will of her gods Baal and Asherah. She fed the false prophets and used many of them to prophesy lies and speak the messages of her gods. Jezebel’s prophets spoke death not life. Jesus showed us the way to determine if a person was doing the will of God and serving Him was to examine their “fruit,” what they produced. They appear to be sheep, of God, but they are wolves, not of God. Similarly the Israelites were deceived in that they truly believed they were worshipping God in the desert when they made the molten calf, but they were not. Moreover, it is not impossible that if we asked the Israelites during Ahab’s time if they believed they were worshiping the true God that some would say yes. To them they truly believed they were worshiping the real God but in reality they were worshiping the devil. Therefore, the way to stay sober and know who is of God is to examine their “fruit.” The fruit is the production of a person’s life, ministry and service. It demonstrates who they are worshipping. The fruit of the spirit is identified in Galatians 5 22But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, 23Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [[that can bring a charge]. 24And those who belong to Christ Jesus (the Messiah) have crucified the flesh (the godless human nature) with its passions and appetites and desires. Galatians 5:22-24 AMP. The fruit of the Holy Spirit, of God, is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These fruit of the Spirit are present when someone is pursuing God’s will and serving the Lord Jesus Christ, who is led by the Holy Spirit. However, a Jezebel spirit does not bear the fruit of the Spirit, rather the Jezebel spirit bears the fruit of the flesh. 19Now the doings (practices) of the flesh are clear (obvious): they are immorality, impurity, indecency, 20Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies), 21Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21 AMP. The fruit of the flesh is carried out when the Jezebel spirit is present. There is jealousy, strife, anger, enmity, selfishness, divisions, etc. Therefore, in order to first overthrow the Jezebel spirit you have to look at the fruit to identify if the person or group operating in this spirit is carrying out works of the flesh or works of the Spirit. 20Therefore, you will [a]fully know them by their fruits. 21Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? Matthew 7:20-22 AMP. Even many who thought they were doing the will of God will see on the Day of Judgment that they were in fact not doing His will at all. Even though they prophesied in the Name of Jesus and the cast out demons in the Name of Jesus, as well as did mighty works they were not doing the work of the Lord at all. Rather they were not doing the will of the Father but their own will or the will of devil which can be carried out by the Jezebel spirit. Therefore, it is possible to be in a Christian group, even a prayer group, and believe you are doing the will of the Father and later find out that you were not doing His will at all but serving your own or the devils. The way to know is by examining the fruit of that person or the group. Do they have contentions amongst each other or other Christians, is there selfishness or strife in the group? Understanding the operations of Jezebel I have been attacked many times over by the spirit of Jezebel that operates in willing vessels it chooses in order to rob me of my own destiny, marriage, family and health. While attacked by this spirit it would operate mainly through three methods. These methods were revealed to me when I watched a video with Jason Westerfield on the witchcraft spirit and how witchcraft operates. Jezebel operates on witchcraft because it is rebellion, not doing the will of God. Therefore, the Jezebel spirit will operate three ways: 1) intimidation, 2) putting you on the defense and 3) self-pity. It moves in the ways in order to do whatever it can to keep you in her web of deceit and control you. When it is controlling you then it can make you serve her and her demonic plans rather than God’s plans. Therefore, when you are being attacked by a Jezebel spirit it most likely is going to wait to bring an all out assault after she has already flattered you and make you feel accepted, as though they totally understand you. Later, you will find that it begins to attack you by causing you to be INTIMIDATED, use a fear tactic to cause you to submit, which often causes a spiritual paralysis. I have felt this often when I encounter someone with a heavy Jezebel spirit because they end up coming on really strong acting as though they are the expert and are the only one that truly knows how to do things. For example, for years I have served in ministry, serving others and pressing into a deeper relationship with Jesus. I felt as though I had given my last blood almost to serve as I did, sacrificing my family, marriage, and time with God. When I informed the person that I was unable to do something they asked, immediately they started snapping at me and telling me I could not receive correction and I was in rebellion. Holy Spirit showed me that person was controlling me and I was hearing God and that it was time for me to step away from the work that I had been doing for this person. This person then spread news to others saying I was in rebellion and I would not serve them as they had asked me. They were trying to intimidate me into serving them. Other times, I have had people come against me in ministry trying to control me and intimidate me as though I was doing the work of the devil and they were doing the work of God. In each circumstance the situation tried to make me feel inadequate, give up on my call, pull me from my husband and family, rob me of serving the will of God for my life. I had to press in and not be intimidated or afraid of others. Next the spirit of Jezebel will try and put you on the defense. If you are not intimidated by the spirit of Jezebel it will try another approach within the same conversation or engagement with you. When it sees you are not intimidated then it will try and put you on the defense, where you feel as though you are at a great inquisition having to give answers or justify your position. DO NOT ANSWER a person when they are operating in contentions or strife. It is of the devil, it is a control that is operating by making you feel as though you have to defend yourself. Many times this would happen when I knew that God told me to do something and when I was not intimidated by Jezebel they would play 21 questions and make me feel as though I owed them an answer. However, I did not owe them an answer at all. If you begin answering their questions then the Jezebel spirit has accomplished what she set out to, which is to keep you engaged with her in an argument or debate. Holy Spirit showed me many times over how Jezebel had done this to me. Even in our ministry 22 IS 22 (Isaiah 22:22 Company) at one time there was a season where I was being attacked on Jezebel at every front, from the North, South, East and the West. At the North end people were telling me that I was not ministering correctly and moreover, that I was a woman and in rebellion because my husband should be teaching and leading the meetings. My husband, Rich, set them straight, however, they continued the attack and even tried to bring me up to a hearing of sorts at a church that was not even my church and the pastor there was not even my pastor and not involved in any measure with our ministry. It was crazy. Holy Spirit showed me the trap and said do not go to the church and answer their questions as to why you and your husband do the ministry work of the Lord the way you do. On the South front I had other people calling me and coming against me and my husband because we do not have television in our home and haven’t for years. They tried to put me on the defense and come against me in many measures saying I was a horrible mother. I finally had to see that I was to only answer to God, to confer with husband and God. Finally, if that doesn’t work the spirit will operate in self-pity, victim mentality, getting you to feel sorry for them. When you begin to come in and say “oh I’m sorry” it will then bite you and pull you back into the cycle of intimidation, defense, and self-pity. Those are the three tactics of Jezebel. Later we will discuss dismantling her throne and the victory you receive. However, for the first part of overthrowing her you have to know her strategies and come against falling into her web of deceit and attack.
Becoming a Threat to Jezebel by Robin Kirby-Gatto 1/19/11 1 Kings 21 The Jezebel spirit looks to usurp authority and is drawn to places to find someone who is not operating in their authority in order to take control. I have experienced many attacks in this area in many parts of my life and especially in ministry. When you step out in the call of God on your life Jezebel is going to try and weave in and out of your ministry, business and/or destiny so that she can look for an opportune time to take the seated position of authority in your life, ministry, business, etc. so that she can rule that place. The Jezebel spirit does not want to end your ministry or business, as long as she is in a place of authority then she can bring in her “TABLE” to begin the reproduction of her system and feeding more people with her food to keep them asleep from the call of God on their life. As long as you remain in a place with small authority or small success you are not a threat. It is when you are awakened to the GREATNESS of GOD inside of you that you are a threat to the Jezebel spirit. I remember three years ago Holy Spirit told me that I was not “DANGEROUS ENOUGH FOR THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT.” I said what are you talking about Holy Spirit what do you mean dangerous enough. Then one day later, when my husband and I went to the beach I took Frances Frangipane’s small book on the Jezebel Spirit I remember seeing that implication of being dangerous enough for the Jezebel spirit. It was as though God was saying I want you to become so filled with the fullness of My Holy Spirit inside of you and be compelled with the Love of Christ and My Name Jealous that you will make War against the spirit of Jezebel. I knew I was in training camp to be hit time and time again until I awakened to the greatness of God, Jesus Christ in me, to such a measure that I was a walking threat to the spirit of Jezebel. The Jezebel spirit attacks those who do not do what she desires and moreover what her servants desire. It has been my experience and is identified in the Word that if someone does not set out to do what the Jezebel spirit wants then there is a pressure beyond all extent applied to that person to manipulate and control them to do what Jezebel wants them to do unto the point of DEATH (John 10:10 The devil came to steal, kill and destroy). Whenever you see a Jezebel spirit operating the premise behind it is death and death abundantly. As we saw in 1 Kings 18 Jezebel had slain 150 of God’s Prophets. Interestingly enough 100 signifies the fullness of and the number 50 signifies Pentecost and Harvest. Therefore, Holy Spirit is speaking about the very thing Jezebel is after. She is after the harvest of God, and wants to keep us from entering into the FULLNESS OF THE HARVEST! Fullness means the entire completeness, portion, and destiny of a matter. This is why Jezebel is after the prophetic voice because it is the prophetic voice that speaks Life and Life Abundantly (John 10:10 Jesus came to bring life and life abundantly). The life here in John 10:10 is a God kind of life, Zoe. It is the God kind of life where there is fullness of healing, joy, gladness, etc. The Jezebel spirit recognizes those who are pushing forth towards the Zoe kind of Life, the God kind of Life. Revelation 19:10 states the Testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Therefore, the very basis of prophecy testifies of Jesus. Holy Spirit showed me the spiritual realm what occurs when someone is getting a prophetic word from the Lord. In the natural it sounds like “God is saying that you are coming into a season of restoration and that what the enemy took from you in the last eight years….. “and so forth. However, in the spiritual realm what is actually happening is the transmission of the Name of Jesus is coming forth into that person’s life so the prophetic word in the spirit realm actually sounds like this “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!” The spirit of prophecy testifies of Jesus! Jesus came to bring life and life abundantly and to DESTROY the works of the devil, which we will get into with Jezebel. Therefore, since the prophetic voice brings life and life abundantly it is a target for the assignment of the Jezebel spirit. People that have a prophetic mantle on them, even when they are not walking in the will of God, will find attack after attack coming against them keeping them in a position and state of constant death. They are losing their mind, their job, their family, their marriage, and their destiny. It is death, death, death all around the person. However, when the person is awakened by Holy Spirit to the seed of Jesus Christ, the hope of glory within them and they are sober to the attack of the enemy they will come forth by the Spirit of the Lord and be free of much bondage. It is when the person who has become free in the Lord Jesus then awakens to their destiny, the greatness of God inside of them that they become an actual threat to the spirit of Jezebel. Jezebel has taken the high places for her gods Baal and Asherah and when anything comes against those high places, places of worship, and then there is a threat to the spirit of Jezebel. Therefore, when one is awakened to the prophetic voice of God, the greatness and destiny of God, the Testimony of Jesus within their spiritual DNA, then that person or ministry becomes a target for the Jezebel spirit. We can see with Naboth in 1 Kings 21 that he is awakened to his inheritance, his destiny and will not relent at moving from what he is called. 1NOW NABOTH the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel, close beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria; and after these things, 2Ahab said to Naboth, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house. I will give you a better vineyard for it or, if you prefer, I will give you its worth in money. 3Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord forbid that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you. 4And Ahab [already depressed by the Lord's message to him] came into his house [more] resentful and sullen because of what Naboth the Jezreelite had said to him; for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he lay down on his bed, turned away his face, and would eat no food. 5But Jezebel his wife came and said to him, Why is your spirit so troubled that you eat no food? Here Ahab, Jezebel’s husband, who was King of Israel, was use to getting what he wanted and when he could not becomes sullen. However, the thing that he wanted was Naboth’s inheritance, Naboth’s destiny, Naboth’s call of greatness! Ahab pretty much throws a temper tantrum because he cannot get what he wants. This is symbolic of Jezebel’s servants or those who are manipulated and controlled by Jezebel because they have an immaturity in walking in the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) and are use to walking in the fruits of the flesh. The flesh controls them and when they cannot get what they want then they come to Jezebel to wine and complain. However, the interesting thing here is Ahab’s immaturity caused him to turn away from eating at Jezebel’s table. It was his absence from eating the food, what she was use to feeding him that caught her attention. Jezebel likes to know what everyone is doing and having complete control. Therefore, when there is a person that is not present for any reason at her table she will come forth and inquire of their absence to see if it is because of breaking out of the system or their own fleshly appetites. If it is of their fleshly appetites like Ahab pouting and being sullen because he didn’t get what his flesh wanted then Jezebel will come in and manipulate to bring forth to her servants or those who are under her spell so to speak so they will continue to look at her as though she is great and not realize their own rebellion. Instead, like Ahab here, the person will believe that Jezebel hears God and is doing the will of God even at the expense of killing another, at bringing about death and death abundantly. Many books have great in depth teachings about the Ahab spirit that is a bedding ground for the spirit of Jezebel to operate. Also, Holy Spirit showed me that it is in the areas in our lives where the carnal nature, the flesh, is ruling that the spirit of Jezebel operates. Therefore, when the Jezebel spirit comes into a ministry or business in order to usurp and take authority this spirit is looking for the areas in which the carnal nature, the flesh, is still ruling. I will add here that I have had to overcome the spirit of Jezebel in as many men as I have women. Therefore, this spirit is not prominent to women from my experience because this spirit has attacked me greatly through men, too. We will get into the next teaching about why the spirit of Jezebel brings us into a greater dimension of ruling and reigning with Christ Jesus because it is important, like Jacob you want to wrestle for your blessing. Therefore, the spirit of Jezebel knows your weaknesses, such as how poorly you think about yourself because you grew up in an abusive home, were in an abusive relationship, were shamed, were treated like you did not matter, etc. Areas in which the woundedness has not healed and we have not allowed our flesh to die are areas in which Jezebel will try and wiggle in, so that she can put a hook in you, a tentacle. 6And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, Give me your vineyard for money; or if you prefer, I will give you another vineyard for it. And he answered, I will not give you my vineyard. 7Jezebel his wife said to him, Do you not govern Israel? Arise, eat food, and let your heart be happy. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. I Kings 21: 6-7 AMP. Jezebel here answers Ahab that she will take care of the whole issue by giving King Ahab what his flesh wants, and later tells him to “eat food.” There we see the food again. Jezebel constantly wants to pull people to her table in which she creates a false sense of fellowship and people that are eating at her table are getting what they want because she is getting it for them through all of her manipulation tactics, through the other messengers she gets to carry out her plans and purposes. In addition, Jezebel states “let your heart be happy.” This is where the false sense of fellowship appears with those in a Jezebel group, those sucked into her web of deceit and lulled to sleep. The fact that Jezebel is getting her servants, those who are deceived what they “want” what their flesh screams out for, tickles and pleases the flesh so they are happy in the fact that their flesh is pleased. In the book of Revelation this is demonstrated clearly about pleasing the flesh. 20But I have this against you: that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess [claiming to be inspired], and who is teaching and leading astray my servants and beguiling them into practicing sexual vice and eating food sacrificed to idols. Revelation 2:20 AMP. Jezebel’s whole purpose is to lead astray the servants of God, to beguile them into practicing sexual vice and eating food sacrificed to idols. Jezebel wants to keep you at her table no matter how she can do that. It actually gives her strength when you come to her table because she is feeding your carnal man by getting you the thing your FLESH DESIRES. How is it that we can eat food sacrificed to idols? When we go to Jezebel’s table and eat with her, her food is sacrificed to idols, to Baal and Asherah. Therefore, being in fellowship with her is when we eat at her table. (Remember here to keep the person separated from the spirit because the ultimate desire is for the person that is used by Jezebel to be set free. However, it is a process because the Jezebel spirit is allowed to operate to the depth of the wounds that are in the person’s soul. Therefore, there has to be a process of deliverance and healing). She knows how to keep you in her web. The only way to get out of her web is to be crucified with CHRIST JESUS! The Greatness of God draws Jezebel It was the greatness of Naboth’s destiny, his greatness that drew the attack of Jezebel against his life. Here Naboth talks about not giving up his “inheritance,” when Ahab tries to persist at getting the land of Naboth. Land here is representative of promises, likened to the Promised Land. In addition, inheritance here is likened to the inheritance that God has for His people. When you wake up to the greatness of God in you, Christ in you, that is when you become a threat to Jezebel. It is somewhat like the Matrix, because once you start increasing in the greatness of Christ in you, the Anointing, that the spirit of Jezebel sucks on the life of God in you. The more of the life of God you have in you, the more it sucks it out. When Neo was in the pod in the Matrix he was asleep to destiny. While he was asleep the whole time the machine had suctions in his body, all down his spine and in other parts of his body where it was sucking the life out of Neo in order to get its power, its ability to operate. Therefore, Jezebel will use your carnal nature that is not transformed into Christ to keep you in her web of deceit in the pod where she is sucking on the anointing. She tries to keep you little. When I was coming forth into the call of God on my life and my husband and I were stepping out in ministry the Jezebel spirit tried to operate through others to keep me “LITTLE.” There was a constant wrestling in the spirit where Jezebel would come to me and say little Robin, keep me little, keep me in a low position. God awakened me to this strategy and showed me that the spirit of Jezebel was trying to keep me pressed down. It was then that I woke up and wrestled in the spirit saying “No I am not what you say I AM WHAT GOD SAYS! I have a destiny of greatness, not what you say!” I did this spiritually for three to four years and finally got a breakthrough and because of overcoming that spirit several times the authority of Christ in me has increased. When a person wakes up to this type of greatness then that’s when Jezebel will start her normal attack of sending messengers of DEATH, much like what happened to Elijah. Her strategies are the same, it is to send messages of death to put you in fear. 8So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal and sent them to the elders and nobles who dwelt with Naboth in his city. 9And in the letters she said, Proclaim a fast and set Naboth up high among the people. 10And set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, You cursed and renounced God and the king. Then carry him out and stone him to death. 11And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles who dwelt there, did as Jezebel had directed in the letters sent them. 12They proclaimed a fast and set Naboth on high among the people. 13Two base fellows came in and sat opposite him and they charged Naboth before the people, saying, Naboth cursed and renounced God and the king. Then he was carried out of the city and stoned to death. 1 Kings 21:8-13 AMP. Here Jezebel sent messengers again. Remember Jezebel has plenty of servants so she is not going to go do something herself, her job is to keep her web of deceit with her servants, not to actually use her time carrying out the attack. Therefore, the messengers of death kill Naboth. When you wake up to the greatness of God in you, the spirit of Jezebel is going to send her servants to constantly speak death to your destiny, to your inheritance so that you will agree with her and not wrestle with her and put her in her place. You have to understand this spirit wants you dead and it does not like you so have no mercy with the spirit! Have mercy with the person whom it’s operating through but not the spirit. 14Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned and is dead. 15Then Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite which he refused to sell you, for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 16When Ahab heard that, he arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to take possession of it. 1 Kings 21:14-16 AMP. Once Jezebel gets her messengers to do the dirty work then she comes to you as though she is the one carrying out all of the details and efforts for the Lord. She doesn’t let you know that she just sucked on someone else’s anointing of Christ in them to deceive them and trick them into carrying out her dirty work, even though they truly believe they were carrying out the Word of the Lord. She keeps all of her worker bees in fellowship with her, but not with each other. Jezebel gets jealous and suspicious when her worker bees begin having fellowship outside of her presence. Therefore, she keeps a division in the camp among the worker bees to keep them in her web of deceit under her spell to carry out her work. Now when King Ahab gets the news all he hears is that Naboth is dead. He doesn’t know Jezebel had her messengers kill him. So to Ahab it looks like it was God that killed Naboth. It looks like God brought on the destruction, which is not truth but a lie from the enemy. That is why it is so hard to see the reality of the true God at work when someone is in a Jezebel group or under its control because of the great deceit at which this spirit goes to in order to make people think they are doing the will of God when they are doing the will of Satan, of the devil.
Don’t Eat at Jezebel’s Table by Robin Kirby-Gatto 1/18/11 I feel impressed at this time to put up a teaching on the spirit of Jezebel and how to thwart the attack of Jezebel and ask Holy Spirit to give you discernment in recognizing this spirit’s attack against you, your family, ministry and church. This is one spirit I absolutely hate because it nearly took my life, marriage, ministry and destiny. Therefore, when it comes to the spirit of Jezebel I come forth like a mighty warrior and tear the throne of Jezebel down when Holy Spirit tells me to against others in the body of Christ that are under its attack. Part I Jezebel’s Table 1AFTER MANY days, the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain upon the earth. 2So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria. 3And Ahab called Obadiah, who was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly; 4For when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in a cave and fed them with bread and water.) 5And Ahab said to Obadiah, Go into the land to all the fountains of water and to all the brooks; perhaps we may find grass to keep the horses and mules alive, that we lose none of the beasts. 6So they divided the land between them to pass through it. Ahab went one way and Obadiah went another way, each by himself. 7As Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him. He recognized him and fell on his face and said, Are you my lord Elijah? 8He answered him, It is I. Go tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 9And he said, What sin have I committed, that you would deliver your servant into the hands of Ahab to be slain? 10As the Lord your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you. And when they said, He is not here, he took an oath from the kingdom or nation that they had not found you. 11And now you say, Go tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 12And as soon as I have gone out from you, the Spirit of the Lord will carry you I know not where; so when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me. But I your servant have feared and revered the Lord from my youth. 13Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the Lord, how I hid a hundred men of the Lord's prophets by fifties in a cave and fed them with bread and water? 14And now you say, Go tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here; and he will kill me. 15Elijah said, As the Lord of hosts lives, before Whom I stand, I will surely show myself to Ahab today. 16So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 17When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, Are you he who troubles Israel? 18Elijah replied, I have not troubled Israel, but you have, and your father's house, by forsaking the commandments of the Lord and by following the Baals. 19Therefore send and gather to me all Israel at Mount Carmel, and the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of [the goddess] Asherah, who eat at [Queen] Jezebel's table. 1 Kings 18:1-19 AMP. Here Jezebel has slain the prophets of God. The spirit of Jezebel hates the prophetic and is always after the prophetic VOICE of God to stop the Word of God from coming forth. Jezebel had persuaded Ahab to serve her gods and knew the power and the authority of Elijah’s God the true God. It was because of the threat of God’s prophets who would prophesy the Word of God that Jezebel was given orders from the gods she served to kill the prophets of God. Notice here that Jezebel has a “TABLE” a place where she feeds the prophets of Baal and Asherah, the gods whom she serves. Therefore, Elijah has Ahab send for the prophets that serve Baal and Asherah who eat at Jezebel’s table to come to Mount Caramel. God showed me that the Jezebel spirit that operates has a table, representative of influence, where this spirit feeds others, most of whom might even operate in the prophetic area. However, the main influence of Jezebel is to feed people the food of the devil, not the true food of the Word of God. As Jesus said to Satan, 4But He replied, It has been written, Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4. The spirit of Jezebel knows how to woo others to it. What it will do in order to get you to sit at the table of Jezebel is feed you with flattery! Whenever, the spirit of Jezebel is trying to gain another person in its camp it will do so by feeding you with delicacies to entice you to sit at the table of Jezebel. 6Eat not the bread of him who has a hard, grudging, and envious eye, neither desire his dainty foods; 7For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].Proverbs 23:5-7 AMP. Here in Proverbs there are dainty foods which are used for enticing those who are not guarded to sit at the table of the unrighteous, of the hard, grudging, and envious one. Jezebel will lure you to her (the spirit not person) table by giving you dainty foods, flattery. Usually, by telling you how awesome you are, recognizing you. Many people who have been wounded in their life are easily enticed to the table of Jezebel if they have not healed from their wounds and still have a root or tare the enemy has sown in them for Jezebel to pull on in order to persuade them to sit at her table. There is a FALSE ACCEPTANCE. Usually, people who have experienced rejection or abandonment issues will find this spirit very “nice or good.” They will believe that the person it is operating through is the most accepting or nicest person they have ever met. However, the niceness is a false niceness it is not genuine and it’s only motive is to lure you to the table of Jezebel. Therefore, Jezebel first gets others by preparing dainties, flatteries, and bringing you to a table where others have been lulled to sleep and flattered to gather you at her table. Elijah knowing Jezebel’s deceived prophets that she fed called for those prophets to come to Mount Caramel. 39When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and they said, The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God! 40And Elijah said, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one escape. They seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and [as God's law required] slew them there. 1 Kings 18: 39-40 AMP. It was there after Elijah had followed the instructions of the Lord to open up the eyes of those who had been deceived by Jezebel’s prophets and worshipped Baal. The people Elijah went to were people of Israel. The people that were chosen to serve God had been persuaded to serve a devil, a false god. Elijah was there to show them who was truly God and to stop being double minded going between two opinions of who was the true God. Once Elijah had completed what God had set him to complete it was then that the people’s eyes were opened and they realized that they had served a false God and repented stating that the True God was God! Then Elijah slew every prophet of Baal, as required by God’s law. Jezebel was after the true prophetic voice because it led people to repentance from worshipping idols, false gods. As long as Jezebel could kill the prophets the message of the TRUE GOD would not go forth opening the eyes of the people to see their deception. When you are enticed by this spirit you truly believe that the person that this spirit is operating through is of God. Don’t get me wrong the person could be saved and most likely if they are operating through a ministry for Jesus they probably are saved but fall into serving another god without realizing it. How do you serve another god when you are saved. Israel did the same thing when they came out of Egypt. They believed that when Moses went up to the mountain to meet with God that while they were there at the bottom of the mountain and created the golden calf, they truly believed that the golden calf was god. This is not difficult. We either serve God and His will or we serve our own will (carnal nature) or we can also serve the devil’s will. The devil has a plan, it is to pull as many away from God and pull them toward himself. As long as we are not doing the will of God and obeying Him then the devil has a way to wiggle his way in our lives and get us to serve him. This is what Jezebel did. Jezebel had persuaded and fed others to sit at her table to feed them with her foods, her plans and purposes. The spirit of Jezebel is always looking for those who have been wounded and rejected to entice them to sit at her table so she can persuade them to believe that her god is the true god and make people feel accepted and see how good and “NICE” she is so they will feel that, Jezebel is truly worshipping the True God. However, she is not worshipping the True God, she is worshipping the devil. However, the followers of Jezebel believe that it is really God they are deceived. Part II Jezebel’s Message. 1AHAB TOLD Jezebel all that Elijah had done and how he had slain all the prophets [of Baal] with the sword. 2Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow. 3Then he was afraid and arose and went for his life and came to Beersheba of Judah [over eighty miles, and out of Jezebel's realm] and left his servant there. 1 Kings 19 1-3 AMP. Jezebel’s message was what terrified Elijah. Jezebel did not walk up to Elijah to scare or intimidate him, but it was the message she sent through ANOTHER to Elijah that scared him and put in fear of his life. The spirit of Jezebel that is operating through mainly one person does not go up in that main person to another and tell them things that put that person in fear. NO! That’s a waste of Jezebel’s time, because usually the Jezebel spirit has already persuaded people at her table that she is all good, she is of the True God, and they are deceived. So it is the messengers, those that do Jezebel’s work that go to the prophetic voice to dishearten them. It is said but I’ll tell it like it is. If you have been persuaded to not be hooked into Jezebel’s system, you buck the system because you are a threat to the false god being exposed and Jezebel will send messages of DEATH to you, your ministry, your family, your marriage in order to continue the work of keeping the deceptive blanket over people so they do not wake up to the deception like those in the nation of Israel who prostrated themselves before the True God, recognizing that Elijah’s God was the true God. They determined to serve God of Elijah not the false god of Jezebel. Therefore Jezebel will send her little minions, messengers, to others to try and intimidate others. How do you know if you’re passing on the message of Jezebel because you can unwittingly be doing it and not really know it? WHAT IS THE FRUIT OF YOUR MESSAGE? Is the message life giving, encouraging, uplifting AND drawing people toward Jesus and the will of God? If the answer is yes then the message is not of Jezebel because the fruit is godly fruit. However, if the message is to intimidate, confuse, cause fear and inadequacy AND CONTROL, uh let me say it again CONTROL then the message is most likely from the spirit of Jezebel. Jezebel tries to keep her kingdom by intimidating others, controlling others through making them feel like they are stupid, inadequate, unqualified, and inferior, you name it. Sounds like what many people do when they think they know better how to run someone else’s life. This spirit does not waste time going straight to the person because the spirit has to many worker bees, to many servants that it will instead have all of the people eating at her table convinced that she is doing the work of the True God and it is up to all of her servants to go let the real deceived person know that what they are doing is not of God and it is up to Jezebel and her servants to MAKE THINGS RIGHT! See people who are deceived think they are serving the True God and God’s will but they are not it is Satan’s plan not God’s plan. Usually, it will operate through people’s immaturity where they are not conformed into the image of Christ Jesus to come against a person. The people will truly believed they are the ones enlightened and they have to protect the group and the person from themselves and start attacking the person by intimidating them and those attached to them. For instance, when someone doesn’t do what the spirit of Jezebel wants then the messengers of Jezebel will start going to the person who is not deceived and getting out of the SYSTEM, out of the CONTROL OF JEZEBEL and start making them feel like they are ungodly, they do not hear God, they are making bad decisions, they cannot make right decisions, and they need to be protected from themselves and definitely the group needs to protect the rest of the group from them. WHEN YOU SEE THIS RUN FOR YOUR LIFE FROM THAT GROUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is not God! However, if God has told you not to leave and you have the strength to remain along with a few others who are not deceived then all I can tell you to do, as from personal experience is press in harder to God to know that you truly hear Him. When the spirit of Jezebel has finally been broken off of that group then true repentance will come and they will realize they did not serve the will of the True God. Holy Spirit showed me that the spirit of Jezebel will try and come much like an octopus and try to puppet people by putting three tentacles in that person’s spiritual spine. As things are in the natural they are in the spirit. We have a spiritual body, too. We are body, soul and spirit. God has given me many dreams about Jezebel and showed me how Jezebel looks like an octopus, much like the movie the Little Mermaid. The whole purpose of the octopus in the little mermaid was to take away the little mermaids VOICE! The spirit of Jezebel hates the prophetic voice and tries to squeeze the voice of God out of people. Therefore, many times it operates along with the Python spirit which is another teaching. From personal experience when I got away from a Jezebel spirit I literally felt my back open from my neck to the bottom of my spine and I felt like three huge octopus tentacles had come out of my spine and as though my back was sown back together. Immediately I felt the life, the breath of God enter me and I realized that the Jezebel spirit had been sucking on my anointing, the anointing of God in me and I felt like all life was being sucked out of me. It was looking good by using and sucking my anointing in order to appear as though it was anointed. Holy Spirit showed me that it takes three of these tentacles to puppet you or make you a servant of the spirit of Jezebel. God showed me that it was three fold because a THREE FOLD CORD IS NOT QUICKLY BROKEN Ecclesiastes 4:12. The Spirit Jezebel will flatter you to gather you to her table to put one tentacle in you and then later when you start serving her a little bit will put another tentacle in you and it’s goal is to put the third tentacle in you so you will become her servant. It is that cord that you have to break with the power of Holy Spirit. While I was being controlled by Jezebel I would have many times I felt confused or like did I really hear God. I believed I truly heard God and I truly did when He told me His will for my life. However, the Jezebel spirit will try and make you like you don’t hear God and you are making poor decisions and mostly that you cannot make a decision without telling Jezebel or getting Jezebel’s input. I will continue this but this is the first part. Also, if you have been in a group that has a strong Jezebel spirit ask Holy Spirit to expose in your life any areas in which you might have tried to Jezebel others or continue Jezebel's message. Then ask Holy Spirit to expose in your life the areas in which Jezebel is attacking you because most likely there is still a wound from which that spirit has a hook in you; how it is allowed to operate. What Holy Spirit showed me is to STOP THE MESSAGE Jezebel is sending. Don't answer the phone, don't talk to the person who is operating in this spirit or is a messenger by this spirit in a conversation. We will look at the next part but the whole purpose is to get you in a conversation or engaged so you can be controlled, persuaded to do the will of Jezebel. I tell people not to open emails, listen to voice mails, repeat the offense, discuss, whatever it might be anything by this spirit. CUT IT OFF! TO BE CONTINUED. …….
