OVERCOMING THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT© by Jonas ClarkYour soul is your mind, will, intellect, reasoning, imagination and, Jezebel’s grandest playground,your emotions.Jezebel is expert at working her seductions in the imaginations and emotions in your soulishrealm.OTHER FORMS OF SEDUCTIONThe release of controlling wordsProphecyManipulating silenceSexual favorsBody languagePoutingFalse tears, or timely weepingJEZEBEL’S MESSENGERSIf Jezebel can’t seduce you with flattery and smooth sayings, then she may dispatch her eunuchs(spiritual children) to attack you with prophetic messages laced with fear and discouragement,just as she did with Elijah (1 Kings 19:2).These messengers have the ability to transfer her spirit through words even though she is notpersonally present.FEAR AND INTIMIDATIONJezebel doesn’t always send a messenger. Sometimes she takes care of business herself.Oftentimes she releases fear at you in order to enforce her control.JEZEBEL AND CONFUSIONIn addition to fear and intimidation, Jezebel creates and flows well in atmospheres of confusion.Spiritual territories where Jezebel is ruling release strong confusion that seems to just be “in thespiritual climate.”Some confusion is the direct result of natural circumstances, but Jezebel releases a spiritualconfusion called witchcraft.© by Jonas Clark Ministries27 West Hallandale Bch Blvd., Hallandale Beach, Fl. 33330www.jonasclark.com (954) 456-4420

OVERCOMING THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT© by Jonas ClarkPOWER HUNGRY CONTROLJezebel is a power hungry controller. She’ll let you hold a conference as long as she approves ofthe speakers. She’ll let you have a church as long as she can control the flow and set the agenda.She wants to control what songs you sing, how loud you pray, what you preach, and with whomyou fellowship.That’s what she thrives on – controlling power.“No” is an assaulting word to Jezebel.PROPHETIC CONTROLRemember that both Jezebels mentioned in Scripture were false prophetesses.The spirit of Jezebel views personal prophecy as a manipulative means to an ungodly end.Some personal prophecy in the Church today is nothing more than Jezebel’s controlling spiritualutterances.Just because the delivery has a spiritual sound or a spiritual punch with it, doesn’t mean that itshould not be judged, examined thoroughly, and submitted to your leader (1 John 4:1; Hebrews13:17).DIVIDE AND CONQUERJezebel can’t tolerate her eunuchs truly getting touched by the Holy Spirit. Nor will she acceptanyone else preaching or speaking directly into the life of the person that she is controlling. Ifyou get between Jezebel and the person she’s trying to bridle, then you will become the targetof her attack.POSSESSIVE AND DOMINEERINGJezebel is possessive and domineering because she wants to be in control.Whatever measure of authority you have she wants to use it to serve her purposes. This spiritfeels that she’s more capable of handling situations than you are.Don’t allow her to usurp your position under any circumstances. To usurp means to take poweror position by force and without right.JEZEBEL ATTACKS AUTHORITYWhen you won’t bow down to her ploys or appoint her a position of leadership, then braceyourself for the attack.© by Jonas Clark Ministries27 West Hallandale Bch Blvd., Hallandale Beach, Fl. 33330www.jonasclark.com (954) 456-4420

OVERCOMING THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT© by Jonas ClarkI have seen Jezebel attack and contend with many pastors and leaders because she refuses torecognize any spiritual authority other than her own false authority.Jezebel is always contending with, verbalizing, attacking and undermining those in positions ofauthority.GET YOUR GUARD UPJezebel is a warring, contending spirit who works out of a spirit of controlling manipulation asshe attacks those in true spiritual authority.Jezebel can’t work her treachery without the help of somebody.Jezebel targets those who are rebellious, weak or wounded and she knows how to use deepemotional hurts and wounds to mislead and exploit.JEZEBEL’S LIFE OF CHAOSIn the wake of every Jezebel spirit is a life of chaos, confusion, and instability that ultimatelyleads to broken homes, marriages, relationships, churches and utter destruction.Jezebel cannot control a person who has not first been seduced.The Hebrew word for “flattery” is chalaq, meaning “to be smooth, to separate, or to divide.”FINAL POINTSJezebel uses the seduction of flattering words and smooth sayings to gain entrance into one’ssoulish emotions.Other forms of seduction include the release of controlling words, prophecy, manipulatingsilence, sexual favors, body language, pouting, false tears, or timely weeping.The spirit of Jezebel views personal prophecy as a manipulative means.STARVE THIS SPIRITJezebel feeds on information. Don’t give her any.Jezebel is a gold digger. A gold digger is a person who, in their personal relations, tries to gainmoney, gifts, position, influence, status or power.Like Ahab, many people use Jezebel’s warring abilities to do their dirty work for them.IN THE CLASSROOM© by Jonas Clark Ministries27 West Hallandale Bch Blvd., Hallandale Beach, Fl. 33330www.jonasclark.com (954) 456-4420
