Chapter 4
Battling Jezebel requires being cleansed from unrighteousness and tearing down false idols. False images must be torn down to dethrone satan from his seated position. If idol isn’t torn down iniquity are passed down from one generation to the other. We can’t defeat Jezebel and the demonic powers that influence her evil behavior without tearing down Baal and establishing God’s divine order upon the Earth. To do warfare against Jezebel without loosening the spirit of Baal is shadowboxing. If false idols aren’t torn down and the enemy dethroned then satan has legal access to oppress us. Freedom from stronghold usually means wilderness.
Confronting Jezebel
Never go alone. The spirits will manipulate and control to point that counselor becomes confused and disoriented.
Pray before you go and have intercessors pray during your confrontation.
Ask for divine revelation concerning strongholds. Jezebel likes to keep a lot hidden but God is faithful to reveal.
Keep a journal
Tape record if pastor or counselor for protection
Don’t be afraid of Jezebel. No weapon satan uses against us will prosper and He will silence the tongue of our enemy. Submit self to hand of God and ask for His empowerment to confront the Jezebel stronghold influenceing your life. Tell Lord you desire all He has for you. Ask Lord to begin to change you into His divine image. Rise up and declare His power to overcome.
Repent, tear down idols and dethrone satan.
Athaliah ruled the land 2 Kings 11:3
She destroyed anyone who threatened her throne including her grandsons. She attacks generations of a family to destroy a people and nation. Hitler, Nero. Athaliah targets all Judah represents spiritually. Judah is a covenant promise, a praise, a warfare of strength and power. If Athaliah had her way David or Joshua or descendants would ever been born. Jezebel and her seed will always falsely accuse others for what they did. We always need to be praying for those seeds of righteousness to be divinely protected from the enemy’s plan.
We plan, strategize and seek weapons of strategy to defeat Athaliah while the enemy hurls false accusations toward us, attempting to intimidate us. Keep praying! The devil has targed our children, our seed, possessions of our inheritance. David did not listen to Goliath. David’s 5 stones might have been 1 for him in faith and if that failed, 4 for his retaliating brothers. 5 means grace, atonement, life, the cross and fivefold ministries. Five also represents the 5 “I wills” of satan. In choosing 5 stones, David was also overpowering the I wills of Goliath. Is satan hurling 5 I wills?
Speaking lies? Victory begins at cross of Jesus. Realizing He paid price for deliverance is the first step toward possessing every promise and defeating each Goliath.
David had 6 sons in Hebron. Hebron represents a place of covenant. This was where God established covenant with David by blessing him with a generational seed that had the prophetic destiny to rule and reign forever over Judah. Devil had a different plan.
Amnon chose to be opposite of covenant as incestuous rapist. David’s generations being destroyed, Athaliah was on prowl. Absalom chose murder, betrayal, anger and rebellion.
Abraham is example of crossing over any rivers of doubt that God will save our families from death and despair. 4 kings Abraham battled reveal 4 warfare strategies.
King of Elam-Chedorlaomer
Name means binding up. Our strategy is to ask the Holy Spirit to renew mind and ask He do the same for future generations.
King of Nations: Tidal
Name means terrible, great fear, to make afraid and to shrink back and crawl away. Tidal also means serpent/witchcraft and divination. Our strategy is to bind up occultic powers that hide truth and to advance forward in faith.
King of Shinar: Amraphel
Means sayer of darkness, speak doubt and hopelessness. Our strategy is to speak words of faith and declare God’s life over death’s structures.
King of Ellasar: Arioch
Lion like, a false roar. Our strategy is to guard our ears and thoughts and not listen to voice of the enemy. Greater than Athaliah is the Lion of Judah He promises to be our deliverer, even to our generations. He promises we and our descendants can choose life, God promised that our generations will always have a place in Him and enjoy His covenant promises.
Revelation 2-4. Sevenfold pattern.
- Greeting as if Christ were addressing lives, churches, or even by name.
- Christ designated Himself as speaker and the One with attributes to empower the church.
- He commended or praised the church for what it was doing correctly.
- He rebuked the church for the wrongs it was doing, today calling for repent and change.
- He gave warning in which He outlined consequences the church faced if it kept going.
- He gave exhortation in which He instructed the church in how to set things right with Him and avoid judgement.
- Christ promised what He would do for the church that overcame and embraced His truth.
Freemasons-pressure, people pleasing and afraid to leave because of certain oaths of secrecy. Full of massive deception and uses the evil eye to influence others. It is a false religion. Business owners pressured to join for success. Influenced by Mammon. This is a lot like Thyatira.
We can’t bow down to compromise.
Spirits of whoredom has unfaithfulness, any form of prostitution, chronic dissatisfaction, love of money, fornication, idolatry, excessive appetite, worldliness
How to pray to overcome Jezebel
1. Thank God that He is who He says He is
2. Thank Him for the good that He notices concerning the situation’
3. Pray a prayer of repentance concerning the areas He rebukes.
4. Thank Him for the reward and ask Him to strengthen you to overcome the enemy.
Every idol must be torn down so enemy is dethroned.
Surrendering the good, the bad, and---maybe one day---the chocolate
