Beware a Jezebel spirit

Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. Have nothing to do with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Be careful not to utter careless words. The fool utters all of his mind, but the wise man keeps it in until afterward.

Jezebel was the epitome of a wicked adversary of God’s prophets, His people and the LORD Himself. This wicked and perverse woman opposed everything righteous and followed demonic, deceptive, devious and murderous ways of Satan.

Read from her first mention in 1 Kings 16:31 to her last mention in 2 Kings 9:37. Elijah lived and served during her treacherous and wicked life. The LORD took him home before ridding the earth of her wicked soul.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭15:1‭-‬5‬
[1] Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain? [2] The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; [3] whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others; [4] who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind; [5] who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be shaken.

We see another example of the Jezebel spirit in the person of Elymas, a Jewish false prophet and counted among the number of the magi. Here, we see one partial description of a Jezebel spirit.

Acts‬ ‭13:10‬
[10] “You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?

Beware a Jezebel spirit.

Seek the LORD earnestly. Cry out to the LORD in your inner man and in your inner room. Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Build yourself up in your most holy faith. Do not give the enemy a foothold. Walk in the Spirit. Keep in step with the Spirit. Guard your heart. Guard your spirit. Test the spirits. Do not believe every spirit. Do not answer a fool according to his folly. Let your words be few. Set apart Christ in your hearts through faith. Be strong in the LORD, and in His mighty power. Do not be weary in well doing for in due season you will reap a harvest if you faint not. If you run with men and become weary, what will become of you when you run with horses. If you do not stand by faith, you will not stand at all. Stand firm then. And after you have done all you can to stand, stand firm. Put on the full armor of God that you may withstand all the fiery darts of the evil one and stand in the evil day.

  1. It has been 3 weeks since bro ET mentioned The Rise & Fall of Mars Hill CT podcast. I have spent the past 3 weeks listening to this saga. This was my introduction to Mark Driscoll. About a week ago, I realized that he is still preaching with a significant YouTube following so I just now searched his name and found this recent video. Little did I know that 2 weeks ago when separate from my listening to the MH podcast I posted this little blog post. This blog post is aiming to get a handle on and take authority over this Jezebel spirit which is clearly a real and present danger. Clearly this confluence of messages calls for discernment so we must not walk in pride or in our own understanding. God is on the throne and at the name of JESUS demons flee. Be alert, and be on your guard against every false teaching and every evil spirit.

  2. I just did a search “Mark Driscoll regarding Mars Hill Podcast” and lo and behold there is a video about this so I have not watched this yet but am marking it here for reference and aiming to get at least an overview of this shortly.
