Witchcraft in the Church 75<br />
Defeating the Jezebel <strong>and</strong> Ahab spirits (rebellion)<br />
As I stated at the beginning <strong>of</strong> this chapter, I want to compliment other<br />
writings out there for the body <strong>of</strong> Christ. There is so much more I could<br />
say on this subject. I have only scratched the surface. I pray you will<br />
go into a deep study for yourself. This is a subject that needs to be<br />
thoroughly studied by all <strong>of</strong> us. If you have not faced this spirit yet, you<br />
will, many times in the course <strong>of</strong> your life <strong>and</strong> ministry. Since I have<br />
given you such an encouraging word, let’s move along.<br />
Seven scriptural steps to defeating a Jezebel spirit<br />
I will give you some keys I have learned. I was spending some time<br />
with a very dear minister friend <strong>of</strong> mine. He is a missionary to America.<br />
We were discussing reading different writings <strong>of</strong>fered on these subjects.<br />
It is such an awesome thing to read three or four different takes<br />
on the same subject all from different authors. This is why I encourage<br />
other writings. I believe this brings a blossoming <strong>of</strong> truth. Anyway,<br />
these are simply some things I have learned dealing with this spirit.<br />
Believe me when I say, I have had a few encounters with Jezebel.<br />
1. Confession <strong>and</strong> repentance<br />
It is vital that we check our own hearts for any form <strong>of</strong> manipulating<br />
people, intimidating others, lusts, rebellion, or controlling others. Job<br />
22:30 “He will deliver even one who is not innocent, who will be delivered<br />
through the cleanness <strong>of</strong> your h<strong>and</strong>s.” You will not be able to deliver<br />
someone else until you are free yourself. I must say that as ministers<br />
we must live above reproach. I am amazed at the number <strong>of</strong> so<br />
called Christians who can sit through ungodly television or movies.<br />
Things that have nudity, sex, witchcraft, excessive gory violence, or<br />
foul language. Can you picture Jesus with a bag <strong>of</strong> popcorn watching<br />
this filth! I don’t think so! Some ministers wonder why there is no real<br />
anointing on their lives. Make sure <strong>and</strong> live holy, my friend. Guard what<br />
goes in your eyes <strong>and</strong> ears. It is so important. Keep you heart so pure.<br />
For out <strong>of</strong> it flows the streams <strong>of</strong> life (Proverbs 4:23). Revelation 18:4<br />
“come out <strong>of</strong> her my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so<br />
that you will not receive any <strong>of</strong> her plagues.”<br />
2. Fasting<br />
In 1Kings 19:1516 the Lord spoke to Elijah after confronting Jezebel<br />
<strong>and</strong> said, “Go anoint Hazael king over Aram. Also anoint Jehu son <strong>of</strong><br />
Nimshi king over Israel, <strong>and</strong> anoint Elisha son <strong>of</strong> Shaphat from Abel<br />
Meholah to succeed you as prophet.” I believe there are three very
