• JEZEBEL.. was the daughter of Ethbaal, king of Zidonians and queen of Ahab, the King of Israel ... approx 874-853 BC.

• JEZEBEL.. MEANS SHAMELESS SCHEMING WOMAN.

• JEZEBEL.. used to call herself a prophetess, the name jezebel is usually symbolic with rebellion, greed, vengeance, sexual immorality, false or misleading information/ lies or gossip.

There is no doubt that the tag Jezebel belongs to a woman, where as in times past there Has been and most probably still are ministers that do relate the word .. Jezebel also to men.. saying as their defence that being a spirit can manifest in anyone at all.. I am yet to be convinced of that. The Holy Bible references always say a woman.

Jezebel, loves to be the leader, she loves to be seen, heard and admired by as many as possible who would fall for her witchery. Because we live in a world that idolises presentation, she decorates herself to the place where she is looking something like a barbie doll or a princess or even a queen .. her name was Queen Jezebel!

Since I have ministered the holy word of God/Yah, I have come to see an ever increasing rising up of woman in the church structures and in the world in general. It's like a .. sisters are doing it for themselves kind of attitude, which sounds trendy but is blatant rebellion. It spells out real loud .. boo hoo to the husband, boo hoo to the bible, boo hoo to men and their do's and don'ts and of no surprise to me there are many a weak kneed men to whisper in the background .. yes dear.

Many are eating at jezebels table today in this world which reels with the independent spirit of satan himself. This headstrong world we live in today will in due time have such a mess of Godless rules, you shall be pressed to find yourself a singular local church that would dare entertain the true doctrine of the Christ/Jesus in your area, lest they be hated.

A woman from the baptist church once said to me .. men have had their turn in the church to do something, they failed, now its the women's go. I still look for that oracle in the holy bible today.. can you find it?

So how do we discern the Jezebel woman from the holy woman?.. I can not set the standard, that would be self righteously we must go to the infallible word of God/the holy bible to find out.

THUS SAYS THE LORD ...

LIKEWISE YOU WIVES BE SUBMISSIVE TO YOUR OWN HUSBANDS, THAT EVEN IF SOME DO NOT OBEY THE WORD, THEY WITHOUT A WORD .. MAY BE WON BY THE CONDUCT OF THEIR WIVES .. WHEN THEY OBSERVE YOUR... CHASTE CONDUCT, ACCOMPANIED BY FEAR.

DO NOT LET YOUR BEAUTY BE THAT.. OUTWARD ADORNING OR ARRANGING THE HAIR OF WEARING GOLD OR OF PUTTING ON FINE APPAREL.

BUT LET IT BE THE HIDDEN PERSON OF THE HEART .. WITH THE INCORRUPTIBLE ORNAMENT OF A GENTLE AND QUIET SPIRIT .. WHICH IS VERY PRECIOUS IN THE SIGHT OF GOD ......... I PETER 3:1-4.

I just quoted from the holy bible, the letter or word was spoken by St. Peter the apostle of the Christ. God's word is truth.

Jezebel never did really care less what God said .. she was extremely bold in her rebellion, even as satan was himself as he slid through the garden of Eden. Peter gave us a clear command what the women in the church are to do .. are they doing it or rebelling and even teaching other women to follow on in rebellion..? 1 Peter 3:5,6.

Next time you are in a church and a woman gets into the pulpit to have her say .. check to see if she matches the description of .. 1 Peter 3:3 ... and if she does you can be sure you are under the sway of a jezebel spirit.

The bible says love does not parade itself, jezebel dressed to parade herself before men and to make other women envious of her, it was satan that had the heart of jezebel in his hand... the devil.. Genesis 3:1-6.

Joyce Meyers once said on t.v. land, (I am here today to strut my stuff!).. and the crowd just loved it, Gods people are presently in a place where they love to hear half truths, many woman and even men sit spell bound, gazing at their bible barbie dolls on stage and fantasise to themselves about how one perfect day they shall after many tens of thousands of dollars donated be just like their queen... their prophetess and teacher/fortune teller... Jeremiah 5:31.

Now that we have seen that the attitude of the jezebel is based on the outward appearance, lets look at the holy woman in accord to God.

The holy woman is herself incorruptible .. she does not strut herself like a tart of the world would, she is inwardly beautiful which surpasses all the paint, gold, silver, apparel and front, that the world can muster up. Their is really no comparison between a dripping tap and still waters. A gold ring in a swine's nose makes no difference, its still a pig.. Proverbs 11:22.

Women of the church should know better than promote outward appearance and earthly prosperity as the answer to a full life. Many say .. we don't or we aren't but you only need one eye to see that it is the No. 1 promotion in Christianity today.. the layback saints of the 21st century.

I'm sure the world and the sinners are very happy with those who behave in such a way, it must draw them by the score to their emotional religious camp sites Where the noise is loud yet not the shout of victory, where the noise is loud yet not the cry of defeat but the voice of those who sing. Yes my friend, where they sing and dance regardless of their sin and rebellion, they party on in the flesh and God looks down and says, You worship yourselves and have forgotten My word.. Exodus 32:16-19.

To allow jezebel to seduce the women and the men of the churches is sin and nothing short of cowardice on behalf of the so called leaders and teachers of the body of Christ ... Revelation 2:18-29.

Is jezebel operating in your church today, just look for the shoulder pads, the fine apparel, the face paint, the beautifying of the head, the controlling of the husband, the wagging of the finger in your face and last but not lest, the hunger for money and power/authority. And she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head and looked through a window ..2 Kings 9:30.

One who works on the inside of the church .. jezebel the teacher.

1 Timothy 2:12-14.
1 Corinthians 14:37,38.

You may think I'm unfair and shouldn't talk about women in that way, the holy bible does and all that I have said is based on Jesus infallible word .. which can not be argued with by any person of sound mind.

I did initially say that my subject was jezebel but I would like to complete this message by making a small mention of Ahab the husband of queen jezebel. Wherever you see a Jezebel there will always be the Ahabs waiting around to serve them. Ahabs are basically weak kneed men, might be better to call them males not men .. weak kneed males who allow themselves to be lead, controlled, deceived, bewitched and destroyed by the influence of the spirit of Jezebel. There is nothing more heinous to view from a mans eyes than to see women ruling their spouse, it is a total contradiction of the plan of God Almighty.. Genesis 2:18 * 1 Timothy 2:8-15.

The reality is there are Ahabs and there are Jezebels and both are prevalent in today's churches, this is the reason for a large part of the rebellion in professing Christians lives. However, l don't believe for one minute that my comments will change things overnight but I do believe that they will surely confirm to the remnant what they are experiencing in their churches and in their own homes. This is what is meant by comfort one another as the day draws near ... confirmation has always brought me great comfort and caused me to rise up from under the juniper trees of life and continue on in the zeal of the Lord... 1 Kings 19:1-18.

AND AHAB SAID WHEN HE SAW ELIJAH .. IS THAT YOU, O .. TROUBLER OF ISRAEL? 1 KINGS 18:17.
