The spirit of Jezebel: 1 Kings 16:31; 18:4; 19:1; 21:5; 23:2; 2 Kings 9:10-36.

Jezebel means" not exalted."  She was a Phoenician princess and later the wife of King Ahab during 900 BC. She worshiped the god called Baal (nature and fertility god) and introduced him to Israel. Adults would gather around the altar of Baal. Infants would be burned alive as a sacrificial offering to him. This was intended to bring economic prosperity. Baal means "owner," or "lord."

In Revelation 2:18-29 Jesus talks about Jezebel. Her influence was in the church. From Scripture we can deduce the following about her:

- was "religious," "spiritual" and practiced witchcraft.

- legalistic, self-righteous, hypocritical, murdering and corrupt

- perverts Who Jesus is

-attacks your zeal, joy and love for God

- loves the recognition of people ,and into titles

-unteachable

-focuses on your faults

-hinders you from growing in your faith

-abuses people

-showy

-focuses on the weak, hurt, rebellious and rejected

-calls herself a "prophet"

-doesn't consider herself ever wrong

-plays the victim part

-hangs around with those who "prophesy"

-deceives

-seduces

-flatters

-teaches her own students

-hops from church to church

-gives unclear,  personal prophecies

-always says "God told me..."

-puts fear in people

-counterfeits the Holy Spirit

-has no accountability

-usurps authority

- marriage and family life is usually "shabby"

These are only a few  factors. Someone may have some of these traits. It doesn't mean that this spirit is in control. They may just have a strong, self-willed personality.

How to battle this spirit:
