Spirit of Jezebel: 10 Signs of its Spiritual Effect in the Church!

Spirit of Jezebel: 10 Signs of its Spiritual Effect in the Church!

Spirit of Jezebel connotes a highly ranked demon with authority, and it specializes in using female vessel to manifest its destructive evil effects to children of God and the church.

Have you wondered how the great men of God are caught up in unimaginable scandals? Does it bother you how there is no difference between most churches and the nightclub? Well, the master plan of the Devil and spirit of Jezebel is to ensure that we are all lured into a lukewarm lifestyle that disqualifies Christians from gaining heaven.

Revelation chapter 3 verse 16, the LORD says: “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.”  

Today’s message will expose the weapons used by the spirit of Jezebel and how you must stay away from the gimmicks.

10 Most Dangerous Actions Exhibited by Spirit of Jezebel

1. Promoting Immorality

The spirit of Jezebel encourages immoral behavior and uses civilization and technology advancement to normalize and celebrate sinful activities, leading church members away from Biblical teachings. For instance, any church accepting lgbtq in any form is a wrong place to worship. Tattoos, seductive wear, make-up, body remodifications are some devil devices in the church today.  

Revelation chapter 2 verse 20 and 21 says: “Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.

2. Power of Manipulation

Manipulation and soul control are powerful traits of the spirit of Jezebel. It influences Christians to act according to its agenda, often through deceit and emotional manipulation. For instance, pastors manipulate members for financial gains and prophets hypnotize church members through falsehood of speaking in tongues etc.

The book of first Kings chapter 21 verse 25 says: “But there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the LORD, because Jezebel his wife stirred him up.”

3. Intimidation and Fear

The spirit of Jezebel uses intimidation and fear to control and silence those who oppose it. It can instill a sense of fear among church members, hindering their spiritual growth. This act manifests in many pastors who threaten to curse you if you attempt to correct them for their wrong doctrines.

The book of first Kings chapter 19 verse 2 says: “Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.””

4. Deception

Deception is a key tactic of the spirit of Jezebel. It spreads lies and half-truths to mislead and confuse church members. Its strong determination is to divert you from your holy spiritual path.

The action of the Jews made Jesus to say this in the book of John chapter 8 verse 44: “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.”

5. Destroying Relationships

This spirit of immorality works to destroy healthy relationships within the church. It causes strife and misunderstandings, leading to broken friendships and weakened family bonds.

Proverbs chapter 16 verse 28 says: “A perverse man sows’ strife, and a whisperer separates the best of friends.”

6. Sowing Discord and Division

The spirit of Jezebel often creates disunity within the church. It fosters gossip, rumors, and slander, leading to divisions and conflicts among members.

James chapter 3 verse 16 says: “For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.”

7. Creating a Culture of Control

The spirit of Jezebel had created a culture of control within the church. It influences church policies and practices, leading to an environment where control and power are prioritized over love and service. The phrase “Holy Spirit is One” is not heard among church members anymore because they have diverse believe to a common spiritual matter.

8. False Teachings

This deceitful spirit propagates false doctrines and teachings, leading believers astray from the truth of God’s word. It distorts Biblical principles and introduces heretical ideas. You must be very careful with the popular practices in the church which are rooted in the misconception of the scriptures.

Matthew chapter 7 verse 15 says: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.”

9. Suppressing Spiritual Gifts

The spirit of Jezebel suppresses the use of spiritual gifts within the church. It discourages and undermines those who seek to operate in their God-given gifts, stifling the church’s spiritual vitality. And introduces adulterated spiritual gifts manifested through speaking in tongues and false prophesy.

10. Forceful Take of Authority

This spirit has successfully undermined and overthrew many churches’ leadership. It challenges the authority of pastors and leaders, causing confusion and rebellion within the congregation.

Watch out and run away from any church with disorderliness and a leadership style centered to the overseer or founder. They give testimonies acknowledging the power possessed by the pastor instead of the Almighty GOD.

As recorded in the book of first kings chapter 21 verse 1 to 16, Jezebel manipulates and usurps authority to get Naboth’s vineyard for King Ahab.

Many churches will receive the judgment below if the spirit of jezebel is not chased out now!

“Nevertheless, I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.” (Revelation 2:20)

 

These are the major ways the manipulative, controlling spirit of Jezebel operates in many
churches today. It loves power, destroys God’s people, and mingles truth with lies.
But praise the LORD who dwells within us is greater than this spirit.

You can better guard against this influence and uphold the integrity and unity of the church through your steady relationship with the LORD.

Recognizing the influence of the spirit of Jezebel is the first step in combating its effects. We must remain vigilant, rooted in scripture, and committed to fostering an environment of love, truth, and unity.

Through prayer, discernment, and strong leadership, congregations can overcome these challenges and thrive spiritually. As we abide in Jesus Christ and stand on His Word, the gates of hell shall not prevail.

Warning Verses: 10 Scary Bible Verses You Should Take Seriously!

Warning Verses: 10 Scary Bible Verses You Should Take Seriously!

The cause of warning verses written in the bible is not to scare you but to make you take your relationship with the LORD seriously. There is no argument that the Almighty LORD is enduring, loving and full of grace but don’t take HIM for granted. The LORD will not endlessly tolerate disobedience or indiscipline from anyone!

Today’s message entails a list of warning verses in the bible which helps me to reset my brain properly and I believe it will be of a great help for you too.

10 Warning Verses in the Bible to Make you Sit Tight

1. “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)

2. “But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints… Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.” (Ephesians 5:3 to 6)

3. “Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:14 and 15)

4. “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.” (Hebrew 12:14)

5. “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you…” (Deuteronomy 28: 15 to 68)

I can’t type the warning verses from this passage because it’s very scary but surprisingly the Israelites disobeyed GOD and suffered the curses.

6. “Thus says the LORD: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD.”” (Jeremiah 17:5)

7. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20)

8. “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: ‘for I was hungry, and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink…” (Matthew 25: 41 to 45)

9. “The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the just.” (Proverbs 3:33)

10. “If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to My name,” Says the LORD of hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart.” (Malachi 2:2)

The warning verses above are written for you to steadfast in the principles and guidelines given by the LORD. And it is a clear view for you to understand that there are consequences for everything you do.

Do not be deceived by many popular false pastors and prophets who preach the doctrine of eternal security. A Christian who fails to live a holy life by obeying the commandments of the LORD through Jesus Christ will end up in eternal place of punishment.

Christian Night Habit: 10 Powerful Actions to Do Before Sleeping!

Christian night habit is a powerful action you do before sleeping despite the daily work that must have worn you out. It differentiates the sons of GOD from the sons of man and the benefits are so massive that the Devil cannot stop you from attaining your victorious lifestyle!

Today’s message will explain the vital Christian night habit you should do regularly and the massive benefits that will come your way. 

10 Powerful Christian Night Habit You Must Do

1. Sit and reflect about your actions for the day

This first step goes a long way to giving you a transparent assessment of yourself. Once you reflect on your actions, thoughts and decisions of the day then do a self-examination and ask the Holy Spirit for insight and guidance for improvement.

2. Confess and Forgive

If the Holy Spirit convicts you of any wrongdoing, then please don’t prove smart. Confess your sins to the LORD and ask for His forgiveness. It is also wise for you to forgive anyone that offends you during the day.

3. Take a Note

Write fantastic events, blessings and positive outcomes of the day in your journal. It goes a long way to helping you appreciate GOD despite the tough moments of the day.

4. Reading Holy Christian articles in Books or Online

This will inspire you and encourage you on your spiritual path because it is not an easy task for Christians to survive each day in the secular settings of our place of work or business.

5. Family Altar

Call your family for the evening devotion. Brief discussion, sharing the scriptures and praying together is a powerful Christian night habit that can strengthen your family’s faith.

6. Express Gratitude to Your Family

A simple “thank you” can strengthen your relationships and spread positivity.

7. Personal Communication to the LORD

Express your heart of gratitude to the LORD and pray for His guidance. Ask Him all you want without grumbling.  

8. Study the Bible

Reading the Bible is a Christian night habit that must not be missed! God speaks through His recorded Word in the Bible.

9. Spiritual Meditation

Respect the presence of the LORD in your home and in your heart. Meditate on the Word of GOD and open your heart to spiritual understanding from the LORD. Such Christian night habit will position you on a higher spiritual level far more than the Devil.

10. Listening to Worship Songs

The gentle tune of holy Christian worship songs when in bed is a good Christian night habit that can calm your nerves.  

7 Benefits of Christian Night Habit

The gains are not limited to the points mentioned below:

1. The Devil cannot overcome you because you are well protected by the Light of the LORD.

2. Your heart will always be peaceful, and your family will not suffer divorce or separation because the LORD is your Shepherd.

3. Your job or business will flourish without a terrible setback because the LORD controls your decisions.

4. You won’t suffer nightmares, rather you’ll see visions and dreams from the LORD because you did not watch worldly movies orchestrated by the demons.

5. Your spiritual knowledge of GOD will increase every day, and you won’t be deceived by the false pastors and prophets in our midst.

6. Depression and the evil spirits that steal joy from the hearts of people won’t have the access key to the door of your heart.

7. You and your family will enjoy divine health and long life that comes from the LORD.

I admonish you to cultivate all the Christian night habit listed above. You will be wealthy through consistent spiritual victory. The presence of the Holy Spirit will give you enjoyment and you won’t miss heaven because you are regularly under the discipline of the Almighty GOD.

In the book of Matthew chapter 5 verse 21 to 24, Jesus Christ says: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”

“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?”

“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ “Therefore, whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”

Lose the Anointing? 7 Things That Happen to a Christian!

Posted by Jan 22, 2025 Gospel Evangelism, Holy Word Leave a Comment
Lose the Anointing? 7 Things That Happen to a Christian!

It is a terrible state for Christians to lose the anointing of GOD upon their lives! The anointing is God’s empowering presence upon a believer. It is what fuels your spiritual gifts, strengthens your faith, and energizes your work. But when you grieve the Holy Spirit through disobedience or neglect, then you lose the anointing slowly without realizing that it is gone!

This happened in the book of Judges chapter 16 verse 20 when Samson said: “I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him. In today’s message, I will reveal eight things that happen when Christians lose the anointing.

7 Signs that Show You Lose the Anointing

1. You lose spiritual power and effectiveness

The anointing of God gives you the supernatural ability to accomplish God’s work. When you lose the anointing, you lose that ability to operate effectively. The anointing is like fuel that empowers your gifts and calling.

It makes difficult tasks easy and gives supernatural effectiveness. But when that anointing slips away, what used to come with little effort becomes a struggle.

Imagine a battery-powered flashlight. If it remains charged, then the light shines brightly cutting through the darkness. But the moment the power runs out, the light also goes out with it. This is what happens to us when we lose the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Saul was once mighty in battle and led Israel to victory. But after losing the anointing, he became like a mere man. Meanwhile, the opposite happened to David. When David became anointed, he became very powerful.

2. You lose relevance

One of the things that the anointing brings to your life is influence. When you are filled with God’s anointing, your words and conduct commands influence.

When people hear you, they literally abandon whatever they are doing to make sure they are there to listen. You could speak for hours, and people will sit there listening to what you have to offer, because the anointing makes them drawn to you. But when you lose the anointing, you immediately become like a mere man.

Think of it like spiritual airtime. If you have it, others listen closely to what you say. But the moment it runs out, people can no longer hear you.

3. You walk in deception and error

Not every fake prophet or pastor started off being fake. Some of them started off genuinely but either due to carelessness, greed, or sin, they lost the anointing.
And in their attempt to remain relevant, they start to do dubious things like fake miracles or go into error.

For example, Saul’s disobedience led him to rely on mediums and false guidance from the Witch of Endor. This happened when he lost the anointing and God stopped speaking to him.

First Samuel chapter 28 verse 6 says: “And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets.”

To get solutions, he began to consult the very things he himself had once forbidden. So, when you find someone trying to play gimmicks or fake miracles, it is not always that they started off that way.

4. What used to be easy becomes difficult

The anointing makes your spiritual tasks flow with supernatural ease. But without it, even the easiest things you used to do become difficult.

For example, if you used to be someone who could preach very easily, your messages would become extremely difficult to flow. People will feel very sleepy and bored during your sermons. Worship may feel lifeless, prayers barren, and insights dry up.

Intercession fails to break through like before. Things that once took minimal effort now drain and frustrate you.

The signal that Christian musicians lose the anointing is obvious when they make use of dancing steps or tunes from the worldly musicians – no powerful spiritual messages in their music.

5. You lose divine authority

The Bible says when Jesus had made an end to His speaking, the people marveled because He spoke to them as one having authority and not as the scribes and Pharisees. This means one of the things the anointing does is to give you divine authority.

With this anointing comes authority. But when you lose that anointing, authority also vanishes with it. Demons will no longer be obedient to you. For example, demons obeyed Jesus Christ not just because of who He was but also because He was loaded with anointing.

Mathew chapter 8 verses 31 and 32: “So the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine. And He said to them, “Go.” So, when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine…”  

But if that anointing leaves you, even seemingly small powers will overcome you. Without God’s authority through intimacy, your own voice holds little weight.

6. Old sinful habits return

Before Jesus Christ you lived under sin’s domination. But at salvation, the Holy Spirit broke sin’s control and granted you freedom. Yet over time, if anointed Christians grieve the Holy Spirit through willful disobedience and lose the anointing, those old habits will regain their grip.

Such a heart grows hardened, spiritually insensitive and filled with secret sins like dogs to vomit or washed pigs to mud, returning to former sins. 

7. You become susceptible to spiritual attacks

The Spirit of GOD is the source of your strength to run the race and persevere to the end. Without the empowering Holy Spirit, you have no real defense against the schemes of Satan.

Christians who lose the anointing become vulnerable to any wind of false doctrine that blows through everywhere. And spiritual blindness and hardness of heart inevitably result from this separation, as they cut themselves off from the Spirit of wisdom and revelation.

 

Christians who lose the anointing should repent of any sin God reveals. Humble themselves and draw near Him through prayer and fasting. God will restore what has been lost.

At the first sign of losing the anointing, heed God’s discipline and realign your walk with Him. Your intimacy with Christ and obedience to the Holy Spirit is the key to sustaining spiritual passion and power. Keep the flames of revival burning bright in your life.
