Jezebel
Rich Elliott

Thought I would send an article I did recently on Jezebel. If follows this brief comment.

In a discussion of Jezebel, I do believe it is appropriate to speak of Jezebel, but not a "spirit" of Jezebel. Jezebel cannot be cast out, but is a manifestation of a certain set of sins, demonic spirits and characteristics. Jezebel was a person. There are people today that manifest the same characteristics of Jezebel.

Following is a diagram of how the Lord has shown me Jezebel fitting into the spiritual landscape. Jezebel is a particular manifestation of Anti-Christ ... specifically attacking the prophetic. There are similar manifestations that attack the other aspects of Christ's ministry, but as prophets/prophetic people, the interest is obviously toward Jezebel.

Rebellion

Deception

Idolatry

 

Religious Spirit, Harlotry

Deaf & Dumb Spirit

Witchcraft

Jezebel has three primary roots ... Rebellion, Deception and Idolatry. A true Jezebel will manifest all three characteristics. Jezebel's false prophets will manifest these characteristics too, but in varying degrees. Jezebels are found in varying degrees too. In my brief experience with Jezebels, I have found none that would repent, although I have always sought restoration as the real answer. The message of love ... REPENTANCE ... is the one we are commanded to give to Jezebel, as we encounter her in our journey with Jesus. Anyone involved in prophetic ministry, will encounter Jezebel sooner or later. I would suggest that you do some Bible study and check out your adversary.

A Message To The Body of Christ

This is the third part in a message the Lord has given me to deliver. I believe it is to be broken down into three parts, since it is a substantial message. I will try my best to deliver it in a timely manner, but this has been a difficult message for me. I have had to live through the message and then now must choose the words carefully that the Lord desires conveyed.

Many have been consumed in warfare these past few weeks/months. I too have been a willing participant in what the Lord is doing in the earth. He is indeed raising up an army. He is raising up a people who are willing participants in an all out war in the earth. We are called to take back what the enemy has stolen and to exercise the authority given us by the Lord. In fact, we are to oust the enemy from his position of prominence and institute the will of God in place of it. A sizeable task, given the extent which the enemy has successfully invaded our society.

We are to be and become an accurate expression of Christ in the earth. There are forces at work that do not want to see that happen. They work in secret, in the dark, trying not to be found out or to be discovered. Their identities are cloaked and their purposes hidden, but they are a very real and a very formidable force at work in the earth. These forces have perpetrated lies that have exalted themselves against the knowledge of the Truth. These lies have become a stronghold in our society, including much of the Church. As accurate expressions of Christ, we are called to be defenders of the Truth. We are to enter the battle, overcoming the dark lies and imaginations that have been lifted above the Truth in the minds of men and women and boys and girls. We are given spiritual weapons that we may use to cast down these lies and imaginations. We have the Light within us to bring the revelation of God. That Light will expose the lies and give witness to the Truth. When the Truth is known, it will set multitudes free.

This message is about the work we are called to do in this fight and who some of the predominant enemies are. Some of this message has been heard before. However, even though you may have heard some of this message before, I would encourage you to seek the Lord and see how He would have you respond NOW. These enemies are not yet overthrown, therefore we do not "know" the subject well enough. We may know "about" the subject, but we do not know it with proficiency. Why? Seek the Lord. We each have a part to play. It is as we each play our particular part in His army, that the battle will be decisively won, to the glory of God.

Part 3 – Jezebel

This third part of this message is about one of the most formidable enemies, actively working against the Body of Christ today. This is not an insignificant problem, but one of world-wide proportions. This is about an enemy that seeks not only to destroy the prophets and the prophetic aspect of Christ in the earth, but to take God’s inheritance from His people, to undermine the Kingly authority given to us by Christ, and to destroy the work, ministry and family of every servant of God.

The previous two parts of this message, regarding the sin of harlotry and the deaf & dumb spirit, were really an introduction to this larger topic of Jezebel. The sin of harlotry and the deaf & dumb spirit are merely tools in Jezebel’s demonic bag of tricks. These two tools in themselves are devastating, but when considering their strategic use by Jezebel in an even larger picture of destruction, we can see that we must be ready to engage the enemy on several fronts.

Jezebel started as a real live person, and over the centuries, has grown into a world-wide influence in the world, bent on the destruction of Godly heritage and the servants of God. Jezebel started as a woman, but now is a spiritual influence that works not only in women, but in men. Although there is no sexual orientation, concerning spirits, Jezebel is more predominant in women. Spirits often work this way, finding victims with similar backgrounds or characteristics. Jezebel, is such a spiritual influence, being originally manifest through a woman and finding continuing manifestation primarily, although not exclusively, through women.

Who is Jezebel?

Let’s start by looking at Jezebel’s origin and proceed from there. Let’s look at Jezebel as she first appears in the Bible, and then how she is mentioned as an influence in the end-times. This obvious contrast in references places Jezebel not as a single woman but as a spiritual influence.

Jezebel is first mentioned in 1 Kings 16:31, where she is mentioned as the wife of Ahab, a wicked king of Israel. Following is an extensive list of Bible references concerning Jezebel, along with characteristics drawn from the Bible passage:

IKing 16:31

31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. Is the seed of Baal … daughter of Baal’s man.

IKing 18:4

4 For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) Cuts off the prophets of the Lord.

IKing 18:13

13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water? Slays the prophets of the Lord.

IKing 19:1

1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. Ahab serves Jezebel.

IKing 19:2

2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time. Jezebel curses herself, amidst the threatening of God’s prophets.

IKing 21:5

5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? Jezebel deceives kingly authority through false love.

IKing 21:7

7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. Jezebel usurps kingly authority, using it to rob God’s inheritance from God’s people.

IKing 21:11

11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them. Jezebel uses usurped kingly authority to carry out her agenda.

IKing 21:14

14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. Jezebel steals God’s inheritance and kills God’s children.

IKing 21:15

15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead. Jezebel brings accusation against kingly authority, rendering it impotent.

IKing 21:23

23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. Pronouncement of Jezebel’s punishment is made by God Himself.

IKing 21:25

25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. Jezebel stirs up works of wickedness in those entrusted with kingly authority.

II Ki 9:7

7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy 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. Jezebel kills the prophets and all the servants of the Lord.

II Ki 9:10

10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled. Jezebel shall be consumed by her own evil forces amidst her stolen inheritance.

II Ki 9:22

22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many? Jezebel is known for her whoredoms [harlotry] and witchcraft [rebellion].

II Ki 9:30

30 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. Jezebel is known for her seduction [deception].

II Ki 9:36

36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel: God’s punishment of Jezebel is sure.

II Ki 9:37

37 And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel. Although the inheritance of God is redeemed, the inheritance of Jezebel is nothing.

Rev 2:20

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. Jezebel remains as a spiritual influence, even up through the current church age.

Jezebel also is referred to as the mother of harlots/whoredoms, Babylon which is mentioned in Revelations. You may do some additional study in the book of Revelations, concerning this. Jezebel is ultimately the concentration of all evil influence in the world and has grown steadily from the time she first appeared in Israel, until the end of the age. Her eventual punishment will be just as swift and effective, as the punishment of the physical Jezebel was in Israel.

To recap, Jezebel:

Is the seed of Baal Cuts off the prophets of the Lord Slays the prophets of the Lord Causes wimpy servants to serve her Curses herself, amidst the threatening of God’s prophets Deceives kingly authority through false love Usurps kingly authority and uses it to steal the inheritance of God’s servants Uses usurped authority to carry out her agenda Steals God’s inheritance and kills God’s servants Brings accusation against kingly authority Renders kingly authority impotent through intimidation Has punishment reserved by God Himself Stirs up the works of wickedness in those entrusted with kingly authority Kills the prophets and all the servants of the Lord Is eventually consumed by her own evil forces, amidst her stolen inheritance Is known for her whoredoms [idolatry] and witchcraft [rebellion] Is known for her seduction [deception] Is reserved for judgement Will end up as nothing Is a spiritual influence in the church today

Some other observations include:

Jezebel makes eunuchs of men/leaders around her, cutting off their fruitfulness and destiny. Jezebel is known for those that commit harlotry. Jezebel is known for those that are deceived [deaf & dumb].

That’s a lot to consider! Quite a list of scriptures and quite an imposing set of characteristics. Jezebel is a considerable threat to both the purposes of God in the earth and to our ability to receive of God’s inheritance. Those two things really stand out when considering Jezebel. Isn’t it quite interesting that Jesus said of the devil, that he comes to … steal, kill and destroy. These are the same blatant characteristics of Jezebel. Jezebel displays outward, direct, demonic manifestation.

Lots of people consider Jezebel as some kind of woman that just gets men to go to bed with them and that manipulate people. This is far from the truth. Scripture paints a different picture. Which are we to believe … teachings from the past, or what the Bible says? I would say it is important to recognize the truth as explained from scripture, not what we have heard in the past. We need to get into a position where we can both recognize Jezebel and expose her. This will reduce her influence. As we declare the Word, light will come and expose the works of darkness. Jezebel’s works are exceeding dark today.

I have had my fair share of encounters with Jezebel over the years. I will relate to you a couple different real-life encounters.

Some time ago, a woman came to one of our small groups. She was a particularly needy woman, obviously carrying wounds from a sinful lifestyle. I have a compassionate disposition, wanting to see people set free by the power of Christ.

I could immediately tell she was demonically influenced and knew it would not be an easy encounter. I am always ready for a challenge. She asked for prayer in the meeting. However, she did not do so in an orderly way. She dramatically presented her appeal before the entire group. It almost stopped the meeting. However, I interrupted and told her we would be glad to pray for her at the end of the meeting. We went on with the meeting, and toward the end of the time, we prayed simply for her needs and then made an appointment for her to come to my home where my wife and I could meet with her one on one.

Once she came to our home, it was very apparent that she was demonically influenced. She had a history of sexual abuse and much emotional trauma. She appeared mentally dysfunctional and according to medical opinion, was mentally ill.

Upon listening to her and offering advice, the main message I had for her was one of repentance and our willingness to help her. I gave her my candid opinion of her spiritual problems and she appeared to quietly listen and cooperate. However, over time, it became apparent that she was only there to "suck us dry" spiritually.

She had no car. Her children had been taken away from her. Her financial situation was precarious. The compassion of the Lord rose up in my wife and I and we began to help her in practical ways, as well as spiritual ones.

After a while, the load of helps became overwhelming to my wife. I knew not to begin to help directly, because I could detect evil sexual intent on her part, but Jeanette took her to the grocery store, to doctor’s visits, to lawyer visits, and called a lot on the telephone. Jeanette explained to me that she was being sucked dry spiritually and she felt it was from this lady. I put a limit on the number of times she could call Jeanette and also limited the number of car rides. Others in our congregation began to assist. They too, quickly found that they were being sucked dry spiritually.

Eventually, several people came to me and explained the problem. I then talked to her about it. It was at that time that the real Jezebel appeared. She began accusing everyone and stating that nobody had helped her at all. She began ridiculing me and what little had been done for her. Of course, that was all a lie. But she could not see it.

The result was that I had to take a position of protection over those in the congregation. This lady left and I have never heard from her since my confrontation of her spiritual "vampirism".

In this case, I believe my wife and other prophetic people in our congregation were the targets for attack. For, it was those very people where were sucked dry of their joy in service. I see some reluctance on the parts of these people to reach out to this day, because of this insidious attack by Jezebel.

Let me relate another incident. This involved a lady that moved to our area. This lady contacted me by email and it seemed at first that we shared many spiritual interests and insights. Over a short period of time, this lady and her husband came to our home, shared a meal with us, and attended some of our "River" meetings in our home. There seemed to be no red-flags, although both her and her husband seemed to carry some emotional hurts that were unresolved.

Then, a big red flag showed itself. I invited a prophet friend of mine from out of state to speak in the city. We scheduled a special "Equipping the Saints" conference, and invited the community to attend. I asked this lady and her husband to attend. She took me aside and confided that this friend of mine had accused her of being a witch several years ago. Both she and her husband wanted me to help resolve the matter. I agreed. I listened to their side of the story and then contacted my friend and heard his side of things. They differed greatly. In fact, this accusation had not been made lightly, but was the result of several pastors in the area coming together, as the Church of the city and declaring that this woman was a Jezebel.

When I got back with this lady and her husband, they flipped out and did not want to resolve the matter. Eventually she ran off. Since then, she has divorced her husband and still insists she is ok. She does not want to resolve the issue. She has committed sin that I have observed. She has refused to admit any need to repent or deal with the past. She has allowed the judgment that she is a Jezebel to stand. Therefore, she is one.

How Can I Recognize Jezebel?

A friend of mine said something the other day that caught my attention. He said, "Let me give you a two second lesson on Jezebel." I told him to go ahead. He said, "Just say no." When he said that, I knew right away that was true. When you tell a Jezebel, "No." You receive an immediate reaction. The accusations begin firing away and rebellion shows up immediately. I believe my friend was right. Just say "no" to someone you believe to be a Jezebel, and check out the reaction. That really is the easiest way to tell if you are dealing with a Jezebel.

If someone is really seeking the Kingdom of God, they will receive what you have to say, commit it to prayer and get back with you. If they fly off the handle, begin accusing you of sin, being accusing you of not showing the love of Jesus, etc. If they attack, then, you know that something is "up."

We are in a season of repentance. True prophets want to see repentance come. False prophets want a stamp of approval on what they are doing and they will go about getting it anyway they can. Jezebel has a following of false prophets. Remember that.

Jezebel in the Bible, killed the real prophets and instituted her own prophetic "order". How satanic can we get? Jezebel is doing the same today. Jezebel uses the sin of harlotry and the deaf & dumb spirit to deceive many of her prophetic "wannabes" into believing a lie. Jezebel will use hurts and emotional wounds to her advantage in creating this false prophetic movement/order. Under the guise of healing, she will give false encouragement to those in sin. Rather than offering repentance and restoration, she offers sympathy and indulgence in sin. All this comes under the banner of "the love of God".

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." [John 3:16] Jesus came, as a sacrifice for sin. That still carries with it, a message of repentance.

To those that will recognize their sin and their need of a Savior, Jesus stands ready today to cover their sins with His blood. Repentance however is still required. God stands ready as our Heavenly Father, to receive us. In fact, like the father of the prodigal son, our Heavenly Father is waiting and watching for us to return in repentance to Him. If the prodigal son had returned, demanding his inheritance … he would not have been received. For after all, he had wasted his inheritance already. He had no inheritance. But because he came, looking for nothing, but in repentance offering his service, the prodigal son received the father’s grace and received a celebration, marking his return.

There is a false prophetic movement today, in which many have been swept unknowingly into. This false prophetic movement is one that emphasizes the "love of God" without repentance and without Godly sorrow. This false prophetic movement, instituted by Jezebel, is what is commonly referred to as Babylon today. This is an entire false religious system that condones sin and batters those that declare obedience.

Those that know me realize that I am neither legalistic nor religious. I do know however that the fear of the Lord is a good thing. In fact, if you don’t have the fear of the Lord, you really have nothing at all. We must obey. Is that so hard to believe? Because we don’t obey, God sent Jesus to pay for our sin. But that atonement is contingent on one thing … faith in Jesus to do that!!

Fear of God, leads us to the grace of God. Without the fear of God, we never receive His grace. God is righteous. He is to be feared, because He is righteous. We MUST obey. If we do not obey God, we may confess our sins and find atonement through the blood of Jesus Christ. But there is the issue of continuing obedience or disobedience. If we continue in our sins, God will continue to forgive as we confess and repent. But once our repentance ends, so does the grace of God. We MUST ultimately obey what God says. If we do not, we are not taking God serious. We must realize that eternal judgment is a real thing. Jezebel would provide "another way".

Jezebel and those that follow her will reap the reward of their disobedience. Eternal judgment is one of the elementary principles of the doctrine of Christ. It needs to be understood and put into practice in your life. If you have the necessary understanding of God, you will have a Godly fear of His eternal judgment and ultimately turn from sin and unto Him. Otherwise, like Jezebel and her followers, eternal judgment stands at the door. ETERNAL judgment. That has a long-term ring to it. Wailing and gnashing of teeth and the lake of fire are all part of this long-term activity. A good understanding of that would lead many out of a lifestyle of sin into a lifestyle of true worship and holiness before God.

God has revealed His love to us [John 3:16, Romans 5:8]. Now, it is time for us to express that same kind of love to Him. This is done through obeying Him. If you do not obey Him, you do not love him. That is scriptural [John 14:23-24]. The message of repentance, is that we must turn to God and love Him. That is the message of any true prophet of God. Anything short of that, is like the prophets of Jezebel; sensual and flesh satisfying.

How Can Jezebel Be Overcome?

Numbers chapter 12 deals with an interesting problem. It is the same exact problem that involves Jezebel today. Numbers chapter 12 tells us the story of how Miriam and Aaron rebelled against Moses. Miriam was struck with leprosy. I believe if you will look at the story carefully, you can see some of Ahab in the life of Aaron, as well as some of Jezebel in Miriam. They wanted to stop the "monopoly" on authority that God had given to Moses. They fought against the kingly aspect of Moses, demanding that they too could run things.

God struck Miriam with Leprosy. That caught her attention. It also caught the attention of Moses. Moses was the most humble man on the face of the earth. He knew the fear of God and also knew His mercy. Once Aaron confessed their sin and repented, Moses called on the mercy of God in Miriam’s favor. There was priestly intercession for sin, followed by the expression of God’s grace in Miriam’s behalf. Repentance occurred first, followed by grace. That is how it works.

I believe today there is a similar situation in the Body of Christ. Many would be prophets/prophetic people have risen up like Miriam to assume a position they are either not called to at all or not set into. They try to assume a position that causes the judgment of God to fall. Why is that? It is the result of "hupotasso" [see part 2 of this message] not being in their life. If there was a submitting to order, the judgment of God does not fall. However, in the case of stepping into position when not called or not established/set by God, there is judgment. Fatal judgment is the result of such sin.

Moses, however gives us a good picture of the servants of God called to see the restoration of those that have become leprous, those that have been sent outside the camp. Moses, by intercession, cries out … "Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee!!" [Numbers 12:13] God answered with healing and judgment. God’s wisdom prevailed. God wanted Miriam to realize the gravity of her sin. She had to remain outside the camp for seven days. She was shut out from the presence of the congregation for a period of time, until restoration occurred.

That must be our response today. We must insist on the fear of God being restored to the house. We must call for the establishing of the true prophetic order. We need an Elijah troop that will proclaim repentance and the acceptable year of the Lord. We need to see a Godly prophetic order restored from the rubble of what Jezebel has done in the Body of Christ. We must call out for repentance and then as that repentance occurs, we must call out for His healing mercy and grace to flow unhindered. There is a River of His grace available to all that will turn completely to Him. That must be our response to the followers of Jezebel that we can rescue from the flames of judgment.

What about Jezebel herself?

This is hard, but this is what God’s Word says;

Rev 2:18-29

18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

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.

21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

28 And I will give him the morning star.

29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

We, as the church, must take the subject of Jezebel seriously. I would say that few have taken it this seriously. I personally know only a few servants of God that would do what this scripture says. That is a shame. You see, the Lord says that we must not put up with Jezebel. At all. We must not put up with her wicked practices, or her presence. If we do put up with Jezebel, we will receive judgment from God Himself. That is pretty plain. Why do we find it so hard to believe the Word of God?

In a case like this, it is plain that some will not obey the scripture, but will follow after some "feel good" teaching of the day or the traditions of the past. It is a shame, but nevertheless, the truth. It is time to cut loose from such fables and turn to the Truth of God’s Word. It is time to obey God.

There is a tremendous promise given to those that follow God’s Word in this regard; they will shine brilliantly [give him the morning star]. Do you want to shine brilliantly [Arise, shine]? Then follow this teaching!

What are we to do? Expose Jezebel when she appears. Do not put up with her at all. Expose her sin and exhort Jezebel and her followers to repent immediately. This sounds hard. It is, but it is what God has commanded us to do.

Do you want the love of God to be flowing through you? Then it is time to obey what God has to say. If we really love people, we will call them to repentance and have courage to confront their sin to their face. This is not an option. This is about really loving them. It is about rescuing the perishing, from sin and the flames. It is about positioning ourselves between people and the enemy and defending the Truth. It is about having done all … to stand.

What Am I To Do?

Are you standing for the Truth? Or are you compromising?

As a servant of God, I hope you will become a bold defender of the truth. It is time to call false prophets and false teachers on the carpet. It is time to expose Jezebel and condemn her before all. It is time not to put up with Jezebel, but to see the real prophets come forward. There must be a bold stand against the false and a bold stand for the True. Without the prophetic aspect of Christ in the camp [in the church], we will not move forward in the purposes of God [journey (Numbers 12:15)]. This truth needs to be proclaimed as an absolute today. Just as in Moses’ day, the people journeyed not, until Miriam [who was a prophet] came back into the camp. We must see the true prophetic come into the Church. This will take action, this will take investment, this will take repentance from where the Church is today.

As a believer, I hope you will assess your own life and your own involvement in the dealings of Jezebel. If a Jezebel is exposed in your area, take note. If you see some aspects of Jezebel in your life, it is time to repent. Stay away from Jezebel. Jezebel is not just a hurt person that needs healing. Jezebel is a devious child of satan himself that will neither be healed or repent. Instead, Jezebel is bound for direct punishment from God Himself. The best thing is to stay as far away from Jezebel as you can!!

I pray this message is something that you can get your teeth around. I hope you can see that this is a real threat to the work of God in your own city and in our nation. It is not something we can just put on the shelf and let God take care of. It demands our attention today. For today is the day of salvation.

I want to close with a message from the Lord:

Fullness is the message that I have for you today. Fullness … but of what? Fullness of intellectual teachings? Fullness of the enemy’s lies? Fullness of religion? Or will it be fullness of Christ? I am doing a thing in the earth, that is beyond what you have embraced. I am doing a mighty thing in the earth, raising up Christ in the My holy people. You have found comfort and complacency in the traditions of the past. Some have found excitement and exhilaration in the traditions of the enemy. Few have found fullness of Christ.

My Son has sent gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors & teachers into the earth to bring about that fullness in you, My holy people. But you cannot do it by following your empty traditions. You cannot do it by doing what you have done before. It is time for true repentance. It is time to turn your face toward Me. You must have all the aspects of Christ, equipping My holy people to be full – of Christ. There is a perfection, that I desire in you, and it will not be satisfied apart from the prophetic aspect of Christ. There is a perfection, that I desire in you, and it will not be satisfied apart from all fives aspects of Christ. These are My Way of equipping you. These are My Truth concerning your destiny in Me. These are My Life, expressed fully in you, to be witnesses of Me, in the earth.

I sent My Son into the earth. He fulfilled His purpose and ascended to be with Me. He then sent His gifts into the earth, in order to prepare you to fulfill your purpose and then ascend to be with Me. Embrace My Son’s gifts. You need all aspects, to become perfected, to do My will in the earth. My Kingdom established in you, will result in you being and becoming an accurate expression of Christ in the earth. Be who I have called you to be, by submitting to My Word, believing My Word, and trusting My Word. Let your life be found in the fullness of My Word.
