EXPOSING THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT | Part One | Ps. Josh Morgan

[Music] but we're going to be talking about exposing the Jezebel spirit and if I will tell you if I ever stand up and don't tell you that a sermon that you're about to hear is important then you need to find somebody new to preach for you but this sermon series is going to be as important as anything that I have ever preached to you in all of your life and I would promise you that I have spent six months praying and seeking God and this is the time that the Lord would say go and man I'm going to tell you what the Spirit of God is all over this place today it was here when we got here it was here during prayer time this morning it was here during worship today and we are just grateful for all that God is doing now if if you are ready for this we're going to jump into it if you're not ready for this you may just want to pretend like you're going to the restroom and just you know it's like just just disappear but but we're going to we're going to expose the Jezebel spirit in the next two weeks and I'm going to go through I got a I got more notes than I can preach so I'm going to go through this very very quickly I'm going to try to teach and do less preaching and more teaching but if you have your Bibles I want you to go to first Kings chapter 16 if you were there let's say it together Lord may the word change me we're going to look down at verse number 30 and it would say this now a have the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord more than all who were before him and it came to pass as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of jeroboam the son of nebat that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethel king of Sidonians and he went and served bail and worshipped him and then he set up an altar for bail in the temple of bail which he had built in Samaria and a hab made a wooden image and Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him now don't close your Bibles if you won't go ahead and go to chapter 19 but I want to stay here just for a moment this is the genesis of Jezebel coming on the scene this is the beginning of what we see when Jezebel comes to the scene and this this set of scripture tells us that she marries a habit and that they began to worship Bale it's important for you to know that a have was the most evil King that Israel ever had known before and it's important for you to know this this morning that a marriage between a have and Jezebel was a marriage made in hell and that marriage took the evil of a half to a whole new level and is it is important for you to understand when the Bible says that they worshipped bel it's important for you to know what that means I think sometimes we just read through it and we'd really don't take time to understand what it means you see when you see the words that they built an altar to bail you need to understand what that means because it's not the picture of an altar as we know it you you picture in your mind just this kind of a surface where you can kneel down and pray no the altar to bel was more of something for fire and human sacrifice so as I go through the next two or three minutes I want you to really listen to what I'm telling you about the worship to bail bail worship was rooted in sensuality it involved prostitution open sexuality in the temple and at times it involves human sacrifice and it was actually required and it was usually the first born of the priest who was doing the sacrifice would have to give his firstborn as a sacrifice and many times infanticide would be the requirement to worship bell and you can reference Jeremiah 19 and 5 on that the act of killing a newborn was often required along with cannibalism and actually the word cannibalism can be traced back to the worship of bale canna means priest and Bale a Bobby Al me bell priests bail cannibal they would sometimes eat take of the flesh take up a part of the human sacrifice before they would give it to bail also we know that the priests would appeal to their God in loud cries and self-inflicted injury and mutilation you can find that in first Kings 18 and 28 I want to read for you first Corinthians 10 and 20 and it would say this No I am suggesting that what the pagans sacrificed they offer in effect to demons can I read that for you one more time I am suggesting that what the pagans sacrifice they offer in effect to demons I'm gonna read it one more time just so we're all on the same page I am suggesting that what the pagans sacrifice they offer in effect two demons two spiritual powers and not to God I do not want you to fellowship and be partners with diabolical spirits this is the picture of worship to bail anytime somebody says that in the Bible you read it and you hear that they worshiped bail you need to know these things that it involved sensuality that it involved prostitution open sexuality human sacrifice cannibalism and mutilation as I read those words for you you think to yourself some of you are thinking well in first Kings chapter 16 board they had some really strange ways of really worshiping a gardening bale when I read that I not only think that but I think how crazy it is that this description matches the world we live in today I don't have to look at three and four thousand years ago to find this kind of devil-worship worship to bail again let me say this sensuality prostitution open sexual right in the temple human sacrifice pastor we don't do that turn your TV on we do do that governor's do get on the TV and say mothers can give birth to the baby and we'll lay it to the side and the mother can decide whether that baby will live or whether we'll just leave it on the table and let it die if you don't know that baby parts are sold all across this world you are living under a rock and blind preacher how do you know that turn your TV on because when people go into places and they record it happening the people that get in trouble are the ones who record it and expose it not the ones who do it so you go into cannibalism and mutilation perhaps that we're not doing these things it is it not funny that many households in America today have been affected by mutilation and even when I was the youth pastor I I couldn't understand it Pastor Katie I couldn't wrap my head around what it what it what it was that made people believe that if they cut themselves that that it would take pain away I couldn't wrap my head around that and the the amount of people that it that it affected amazed me young people growing up and believing and and and something about the devil telling them that if they cut themselves and I read this week that the suicide rate is so high right now it's blowing out all the previous numbers from previous years that people are killing themselves left left and right you so you see it's not just worship to bail but it is the spirit of Jezebel and worship to a spirit of bail that is not only destroying the world back then but the world as we know it right now it's important for you if you're gonna understand exposing the Jezebel spirit you've got to know who she worships with and where she goes to church to you've got to understand what it is that makes her drive you see because there every person in this room there's something that drives you there's something that motivates you that push you for many people it's just Jesus if you talk about Jesus they are driven by the Word of God and they are driven a man by the presence of God but for some people it's many many different things that drop but if you know what drives somebody you'll know what they're worshipping all right there was an opportunity for you all to have just a light bulb go off what drives them if gossip is what drives somebody you know what they're worshipping if politics is what drives somebody you know what they're worshipping come on church oh I don't have a whole lot of time to dwell here if hatred is what somebody dwells on and that's what drives them then that's what they're worshipping if contracts is what drives people then that's what they're worshipping I'll get back into all this here in just a minute I better move on but to know Jezebel you've got to know the genesis of what she worshiped she was dedicated to the worship of bail and in fact the worship of bail as we read in 1st Corinthians 10 and 20 is nothing more than devil worship people worship things all the time that is not of God and they say preacher I'm not a devil worshiper I'll beg to differ with you according to Scripture if you are worshiping idols as pastor Katie has already preached to you you are in fact worshiping the devil preacher I am NOT worshiping the devil if you are worshiping anything then you are putting anything above the Lord Jesus Christ you are in fact worshipping idols and if you're worshiping idols you are in fact worshipping the devil preacher you shouldn't preach that kind of stuff there's not many others left and I'm going to preach to you the truth today I didn't spend six months to come up here and take all your fancy I spent six months reading the word and praying about the word cooks the Jezebel spirit so you can cut the head off of that snake I did not come today to play games with you I come today to preach the truth to you first Kings chapter 19 if you're not there let's go over to first Kings chapter 19 this is the incident where Elijah has killed 850 prophets not only did he kill him they were prophets of bale who worship bell Jezebel first Kings 19 one one through five and then we'll skip down to verse number nine verse number one and a half toe Jezebel woo some kind of King he is running tell your wife what somebody else did you little baby they have told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and also how he had executed all of the prophets with the sword and then Jezebel cinnaminson messenger to Elisha so let the gods do to me and more also if I do not make your life listen to this this is Jezebel talking if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time there there is a threat Jezebel is always threatening somebody come on and when he saw that he arose he ran here we go here's the man of God he ran for his life it's not exactly how you picture a prophet of God now is it he ran for his life he went to bare Sheba which belongs to Judah he left his servant there but he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under the rule tree and he prayed that he might die ooh and said it is enough now Lord take my life where I am no better than my father then as he laid and he slept under the broom tree suddenly an angel touched him and said arise and eat verse number 9 and there he went into a cave and there he went into a cave there he went into a cave spent the night in that place and behold the word of the Lord came to him saying what are you doing here if you want to know how powerful the spirit of Jezebel is the prophet Elijah when when Jezebel said by this time tomorrow you'll be as they are Elijah got up and I ran for his life if you want to know how powerful the spirit of Jezebel is men of God would tremble when Jezebel spoke men of God would high tell it not only would they run they would say Lord would you go ahead and kill me Church this is the power of the spirit of Jezebel it will drive you to a cave it will drive you to the darkest room of your life where you will beg for God to kill you or you'll think and contemplate how you can do it yourself life is not worth living I I don't want to go through this anymore that's what the spirit of Jezebel will do to you but if you mean nothing to the kingdom of God Jezebel's not really interested in you but if you mean anything to the kingdom of God she'll chase you down and you better realize who she is before she grabs you and you better understand who she worships but also you better understand who you worship and you might want to understand that at that name every knee will bow every tongue will confess that he is the Lord you must have that knowledge now you say well pastor what about people who have had great victories and still they are entangled by this spirit Elijah had just killed 850 false prophets Elijah just saw and witnessed along with these prophets fire of God come down from heaven if you read your Bible you know that the prophets of bale called upon their God they cut themselves they streamed and as they did this Elijah made fun of them he even said maybe your God has gone to relieve himself he mocked them and then when if when it came Elijah's turn he said Oh God of Abraham Isaac and Jay the true one god that led the children died I mean all of these and he called and he said all God show them they I'm paraphrasing show them who you are and fire of God fell from heaven consume the altar and Elijah said kill those prophets they killed the prophets Amy it's a great day to be alive in God and and Elijah is walking around knowing that his God is the God above all things and then Jezebel says hey I'm gonna kill you and the man of God immediately packs his bag and runs pastor how powerful is the Jezebel spirit I just told you a man of God who witnessed the voice of God the fire of God the power of God immediately ran from the enemy that came to him that says to me that Elijah did not doubt the voice of Jezebel if she said she was going to do it she was wicked and crazy enough she done lost her mind she's gonna do it Jezebel the Jezebel spirit is not interested in playing games with you the Jezebel spirit is interested in killing you preacher I didn't come to church to hear you preach on spirits today if you want to continue to be bound pay no attention leave today and forget what I preached to you but there will be people in this room today and next week who will be set free by the knowledge of understanding who Jezebel is and what she's doing and we have got to expose the Jezebel spirit I want to give you six major effects of the Jezebel spirit six major effects from the Jezebel spirit you can read this in Revelation chapter two which we'll get to next week first Kings chapter 16 which we've already read first Kings chapter 19 which we have all all red six major effects of the judges about spirit number one is idol worship first king sixteen thirty-two then he set up an altar for bail in the temple of bail number one Jezebel will cause you to get into idol worship are you ready for this church the Jezebel spirit will pull you away from worshiping the Creator and cause you to worship the created you'll find yourself worshiping what's around you instead of worshipping what's in you get ready you'll find yourself even worshipping Jezebel's gifts talents and ministries everybody may not be getting it but some of you are Jezebel the Jezebel spirit will require you nonchalantly to worship what she can give you the gifts that Jezebel brings now don't forget this I'll go into this more next week the Jasmine Bell Spirit works in men and women usually if it works in a man is usually accompanied by Absalom spirit but both men and women can operate and have the Jezebel spirit or be impacted by the Jezebel spirit so don't don't don't think to yourself every time I say she well he's only talking to the women no no no no no Jezebel will cause you to worship an idol pastor what do you mean that means when Jezebel has her own ministry and she would mother rather require you to worship her ministry rather than worship God you are you're under a Jezebel spirit if when Jezebel would rather cause you to focus on talent rather than focus on God it could be that Jezebel spirit is trying to control your life because Jezebel will cause you to fear contracts and worship contracts and Jezebel will cause you to worship money and and cause you to worship everything that surrounds you rather than worshiping the one who gives you everything that you've got Jezebel will pull you into a room and tell you how good god is and then spend the next 40 minutes telling you how good they are and before you know you're applauding them forgetting about the God that gave them everything that they had you say preacher how do you know this stuff because it listen I you what again turn your TV on people seek approval they seek praise base people seek worship you want to know why a lot of artists and a lot of people that are in the world can't be in the church because they like the praise too much they like the applause too much they like the pedestal too much but there are Jezebel's in the church they want you to listen now how good they could sing you be sitting beside of them in the church or they'll be sitting there and they'll hear somebody sing a song with them and they'll always say I can do it better than that sermons I could preach it better than that with when you when you're sitting down in their home all they can do is talk about them and how good they are and and and who come on hold and go through and all they can do is look at themselves and and admire what they see and how how pretty they are and how how beautiful they are gifted they are and how talented they are and they'll have their little circle of eunuchs worshipping and lifting them up praising that pastor water eunuchs go home and study for yourself we're talking about it maybe next week a man but when you get to a point where you're worshipping what he created then the one who created it you therefore could be falling under the spirit of Jezebel in idol worship anything that you give in the accomplishment above God is idol worship anything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God anything that you put in front of God is idol work come on Holy Ghost just go ahead and let me preach at a man win win I saw this the other day because I used to have this argument all the time and you're welcome okay somebody put it I used to argue with parents all the time I get that people want their kids to be active I get that but are you are you teaching you you'll kid about ball are you teaching your kid about bail it's it can become I don't worship I guess I got five more to go doesn't he say you shall have no other gods before me well the preacher the preacher the preacher called me out today he can no I'm so sick and tired of people going home and then calling me and saying that I preached on this is happening every of the week every other week when I call out your name then call me otherwise if it's conviction just deal with it like excuse me it's hindering my preaching because I have to think I can't say that because somebody's gonna think I'm preaching on am I am I telling the truth every other week who came into my office this week Pastor Roy came into my office this week with another one good lord are you kidding me I don't remember calling out anybody's name preach sermons if you haven't listened to Pastor Katie's sermon go back and listen to it two or three weeks ago you best be careful because I've traveled with singers musicians I've traveled with bands I've been in churches I've been around preachers I've been around pastors I've been around those who are way up here but they haven't the most humble spirit with them in the world I've been in preacher circles those type of creatures that they you know that they can't be with you know with normal people they can't touch come on yeah all right really you can't be around normal but like what what am i I'm from Long Branch you know you don't know what normal is too you've been to Long Branch but they look at themselves when they put their suit in their tie on and they're holding their Bible and they're just thinking about how amazing it is how amazing how amazing this gift of God is the enemy will lie to you and tell you that that things around you that your job that your money that your career that your contract that golf that all of these things is more important than God anything you put above God is an idol habits behaviors people Jezebel spirit will cause you to have idol worship number two you ready for this the Jezebel spirit one of the effects is strange and prolonged illnesses mmm why preacher revelation to 22 and 23 and I will cast her into the sickbed and those who commit adultery with her into Great Tribulation unless they repent of their deeds unless they repent of their deeds unless they repent I will kill her children with death now we're going to get into Revelation chapter two next week God is tired of spiritual fornication God is tired of you worshiping in church when the night before you were sleeping with the enemy God is looking for a separation among his people God is looking for holiness among his people while we sit in dark rooms maybe by herself or with other people we do things that are ungodly go places that are ungodly say things that are ungodly dream and fantasize of things that are ungodly and come into church Sunday morning and why wonder why you can't get into the presence of God spiritual this is what Revelation chapter 2 is warning us up when you fall into spiritual fornication you could find yourself having strange and prolonged illnesses preacher that's that you don't preach that honey I'm not the Bible is and as long as the Bible is preaching it it's the truth a man it cannot lie God's Word cannot lie cannot come back boy tolerating the Jezebel spirit without repenting or taking authority over it is an open door to allowing sickness suffering and tribulation pastor I don't believe that that's why you can't get past what you've been dealing with for years in your life it never goes away it's continuous pastor what are you trying to say you would be either you could be entertaining the spirit of Jezebel or it could be upon you through other people other channels but if you don't stop it you you could you know and well are you saying everybody does no no no you you please please become a grown-up and listen to this with me I just got to be blunt today I don't have time to play games I'm not saying that everybody the Sikh has a Jezebel spirit that's not what I'm saying don't go home and put that on Facebook I'm saying that there are folks who deal with illness constant illness constant suffering constant tribulation and there are folks who in fact the problem is a spirit of Jezebel refusal of repentance could result in death well preacher I don't believe that I didn't ask you if you believe that it's the Word of God you could actually take communion the wrong way and die we that information would have been good last time we did come here you preached it it says don't take it unworthily is that what it says you could get sick you could die people who continually deal with sickness could be dealing with the spirit especially especially those who seek their attention through the illness [Music] there's a great amazing story I watched many times about this little girl named gypsy I don't know if anybody else saw that but her mom gypsy was born and all of her life she was in a wheelchair had feeding tubes had medications had I mean just spiritual ailments all of these different sicknesses illnesses couldn't walk paralyzed from the waist down I'm this girl was in bad shape until the day that this girl and her boyfriend killed her mama and the world realized the girl was not sick at all her mom her mom caused communities to build them houses give them money country stars came to their house we make a wish sent them to Disney and everywhere else throughout the world and all it was was a spirit of Jezebel upon this mother who who caused her daughter to be confined to a wheelchair and for all of her life live in this wheelchair I forget how old she was maybe 16 when she decided I can't live like this anymore and when they went into the house and they found mom they realized that this girl had met a guy online and her and the guy killed them on because she couldn't live like this anymore they went into the house the world was shocked that this girl was never sick but but mama Jezebel loved the attention that came with the illness and they went through the house the house was a total wreck it was kind of kind of you know one of those hoarding kind of situations you know not not my kind of place man I need organization I mean stuff was everywhere and then they opened this one closet and they said it made no sense because the house was a total wreck but in this closet was medication after medication after medication after medication and it was all organized perfectly why because Jezebel will organize what's important to her because of the image and and the need to get attention and they said how in the world did she get all this medicine because mama had been stealing prescription pads from doctors and when doctors would say I'm not finding what you're telling me is here she would pick up her baby and go to a different doctor Jezebel would change hospitals just to keep getting the attention number three fear one of the major effects of Jezebel is fear first Kings 19 verse 3 and when he saw that he arose he ran for his life judge the Jezebel spirit wants to you intimidate you have you ever found yourself feeling like you need to crawl in a corner and hide fear shortly after fire fell from heaven and Elisha killed 850 prophets he ran for fear of threat from one woman how powerful is the Jezebel spirit read the Bible this spirit will attempt attempt to you in fear using intimidation to bring about fear is a sign of the Jezebel spirit the Jezebel spirit will intimidate you it will either be upon you or it will happen through other people they will they will call you they will text you they will threaten you they will intimidate you do this or I'll do that they'll blackmail you they'll do all of these things but Jezebel wants you to be in fear Jezebel wants you to be afraid because if Jezebel can cause you to be afraid then she can control you it's all about control it's all about intimidation it's all about fear Elisha got up and ran for his life when one woman said I'm going to kill you but second Timothy 1 in 7 says for God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind fear is not of God fear is of the devil if you are dealing with fear the oppression of the devil is upon you what preacher I've just been dealing with it in the presence of God you've been trying to saddleback yourself with a devil in the presence of God fears of the devil you need to rebuke it in the name Jesus and tell that devil to get off your back faster that's awful me yeah that's something Jezebel would say because truthfully if you are dealing with fear and you're not willing to rebuke you in the name of Jesus you're dealing with the Jezebel sphere why because you enjoy the fear picture why you preach them with this passion because I'm looking to expose the Jezebel spirit I'm not looking to hang out why because I'm tired of people hurting I'm tired of ministries being crushed I'm tired of ignorance standing up and saying look at what I did for Jesus not saying look what Jesus did through me [Applause] the spirit of fear is always from the devil it is never from God the spirit of fear is always from the devil never from God now I'm not talking to people that occasionally have a little bit of fear a little bit cause that's not what I'm talking about I'm talking about people that live in it if you live in it you could be again don't go home and say he said I was no no you could be dealing with the spirit of Jezebel James 4 & 7 this is what you should do therefore submit yourself to God resist the devil and he will flee from you you must submit to God resist the devil submit to God resist the devil pastor isn't that easy to get it get rid up submit to God resist the devil number four the effect of Jezebel isolation first Kings 19 the four but he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness Elisha got up and went to the wilderness the Jezebel spirit wants to isolate you this will be one good that when we are able to put this out on the internet that people will be able to watch because many of them watch for whom the Jezebel spirit wants to isolate you wants you to have no friends but certain people other people misery loves company isolation causing you to be alone with no support but you must notice the difference between isolation and solitude solitude is getting along with God it's necessary isolation is getting along with me and that can be dangerous there's a big difference in me getting along with God and me getting along with me solitude is godly and often necessary isolation is dangerous and yet another sign that you may be under the influence of the Jezebel spirit now listen I'm an introvert as an introvert sometimes I need to be away from people I know everybody don't understand that if you're an introvert you know exactly what I'm talking about I can't always be around people large crowds stress me out I know it's weird I'm just gonna move on but there's a difference in being introverted and needing time to recharge and wanting to isolate yourself all the time isolation Alijah going and finding himself in the middle of a cave if the enemy is continuously trying to isolate you if people in your life are trying to isolate you it could be a Jezebel spirit number five exhaustion first Kings 19 four and five in the message Bible listen to this church he came to a lone broom bush and collapsed in the shade wanting in the worst way to be done with it all who said that this week don't raise your hand cuz I know a lot of you would wanting to be done with it wanting to just die enough of this God take my life exhausted he fell asleep under a lone broom bush now there's been many days where I've said to myself I can't do this anymore and then the next day I was doing it and got back to it and enjoyed it and loved the lord and loved all his people after I prayed about it and gave them to Jesus the only country song I've ever prayed to the Lord as jesus take the wheel that's the only one that I ever prayed to the Lord but there's there's a difference in having temporal exhaustion temporal burnout and being continuously exhausted can't go any further complete exhaust is what causes people sometimes when you're when you're burning you fumes it both ends and you're just you know you're burning daylight and you're just doing too much is what causes people and I've had conversations with three or four of you in this room so don't think I'm preaching on you this is what causes you to make promises you can't keep and promise yourself to be in ten places where you know you can't be you're exhausted you're tired but yet you're still telling people that you're going to be able to do things that you know you can't do Oh overextending yourself over promising yourself knowing that you're about to disappoint people and hurt people but you just can't say no exhaustion the Jezebel spirit will exhaust you leave you incapacitated it will exhaust you to the point where you welcome death where you welcome thoughts of quitting the having the inability to sleep anybody been so tired you can't sleep you see but if you're like this all the time that's where the problem comes into play I'm not talking about temporal I'm talking about all the time this is what I deal with all the time reading further in first Kings chapter 19 you'll find out that Elijah now listen to me now give me give me a little bit more time elides your only boundary so when he got away a few more minutes this is why some of you are constantly looking to leave town and fantasizing about vacation because the only way you can get your mind out of the turmoil the fear the intimidation the isolation the exhaustion somehow you find relief when you get in the car and get away and you say to me well preacher that's just part of going on vacation is it or are you under the Jezebel spirit the only way Elijah could get rest was to get away he got away he went to a cave if you find yourself I know those people that on social media all they do everyday is put pictures onto their dream vacation like how can you have a different dream vacation every day you don't know what a dream is constantly I've just got to get up and go got to get up and go got to get up and go got to get out of town got to get out of debt constantly running away you think you're going places but what you're doing is I'm the in fact running away because you're you're so exhausted fantasizing about just just just packing up moving when's the last time about twelve of you in this room said if I could just disappear now again if that's temporal no big deal if that's almost daily could be Jezebel spirit job 3:13 he said had I died at birth I would now be at peace I would be asleep at rest job said if I would have just died when I was born it would have been better for me when you live life thinking those kind of thoughts every day every other day it could be that you're dealing with a Jezebel spirit let me move to the next one I got I got it I got to bring this home number six the last one depression okay there we go should have started with that one somebody remind me when I get home to make that one number one first Kings 19 verses 4 & 9 and he prayed that he might die verse 9 there he went into a cave he prayed that he might die and then he went into a cave he prayed that he might die and he went into a cave now before I get into depression let me say this there are different types of depression do not go home and say I've got a medical depression and the preacher preached on it no I'm stopping you now I understand there is medical depression there are problems that you can't get over I'm not talking to you I'm not talking to people to have occasional bad days I'm talking to people who are under heavy oppression thoughts of suicide fantasies of quitting wanting to die deep depression because all of these are possibilities that you are under a Jezebel spirit and you're dealing with these things all the time heavy oppression suicidal thoughts fantasies acquitting wanting to die deep depression all the time and it's not it's not medical it's spiritual some there are people that have legitimate disabilities I get that not preaching to them I'm preaching to the people that you are under a spiritual oppression the enemy has come upon you and it says and it says if every day you wake up and they put like a heavy blanket on your life your whole life is like that who am i preaching to this is not the average person having a bad day or a bad week thinking bad thoughts this becomes common and possibly every day if it is common and almost every day you may me dealing with a Jezebel spirit scripture is clear that your enemy in John 10:10 the thief does not come but to steal kill and destroy let me be very clear to all of you in this room your enemy the devil Satan has one agenda steal kill destroy he does not want to be your friend he does not want to hang out with you he is not to be worshipped he has one agenda steal kill the soul that's it well I didn't think the devil was all that means steal kill destroy and what you need to understand is the devil does not walk around planet Earth with a big red tail and and big horns and a pitchfork the enemy walks around in your closest circles he deals with you in your closest friends he deals with you in people that sit in pews he deals with you through people that have a hidden agenda he pastor what does the devil look like the devil is the person that smiles at you all the time people with the Jezebel spirit are generally the most friendly people you'll ever meet in your life when that won't get a room they're friends with everybody they're the people that everybody always says my well my goodness they are the sweetest person in the world no they're not because they've got you worshiping them rather than the God that they serve what you don't reap what you don't realize the enemy comes to steal kill destroy that's his only agenda he wants to steal listen to me now he wants to steal your peace your joy your confidence well I didn't think confidence was all that important honey listen true Lord I got a hmm he wants to kill you through sickness accidents suicide if you battle suicidal thoughts more than two or three times a week you may be dealing with the Jezebel spirit Jezebel wants to kill you pastor what do I need to do I'm gonna tell you here in just a moment but you better take Jezebel put your foot on her neck and let her know that you about to snap her little head off that this is her last day being in your life take power and authority over and refuse to think those thoughts ain't gonna be like that still kill destroy destroy you through depression fear and guilt you can't make a decision because of fear you can't do anything because of guilt you can't let anybody into your life because of your past you can't have a future because of yesterday all of these things could be that you're dealing with the Jezebel spirit the enemy comes to steal kill the story Pastor Roy said this this morning Ephesians 6 and 12 but we do not wrestle against flesh and blood I need some folks in this room this is how I'm gonna insert number one we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of darkness in this age against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places we do not fight against flesh and blood well preacher you just described about two or three people in my life that have the Jezebel spirit it's not them it is a spirit your enemy is never a person never a person now does it operate through people yes it does and there are times when you may have to rebuke somebody there's times when you may have to separate yourself from certain people I can love you in Jesus name from a distance I don't need to hang out with you to be to be able to love you Church preacher I don't understand how this whole spirit thing works spirits are all over the place all the time you believe in angels spirits of God believing demons spear seyton the earth the Bible says the earth is full of them they roam about but you do not fight flesh and blood that's why you're not supposed to hate people that do things against you because it's not through them it's the enemy using them we don't fight flesh and blood we fight principalities and powers perhaps or what does that mean that means as long as you're fighting principalities and powers you have the name of Jesus as the the anchor of your soul here's the best news I can give you all day if it's a principality and a power only you have authority over it in the name of Jesus because at the name of Jesus every knee will bow every tongue will confess there is nothing that you can't put the flight as long as you do it in Jesus name well preacher explain it to me one more time if it were a person you could do nothing about it why because sometimes the only way to get rid of 7 feet certain people would be say hello to my little friend you know you can't do that to people that's illegal but when you are dealing with spirits he that is within you is greater than he that is within the world he Church come on now he that is within you is greater than he that is in the world as long as you are dealing with spirits you have power and authority over everything that is in this world at the name of Jesus let me say it one more time just so every devil understands at the name of Jesus every knee will bow every tongue will confess in the earth under the earth about me it doesn't matter that Jesus is Lord you've got to know your enemy and you've got to know how to overcome you've got to go home and read Ephesians chapter 6 and study about the armory of God you've got to understand that God would never leave you never forsake you you've got to understand that your enemy is not people and listen to me listen to me your enemy is not you if you are dealing with a Jezebel spirit or you know sitting there right now pastor III I operate in this your enemy is not you your enemy is spirits preach I just don't understand this that that's good because you need to come back next week and get volume number two so you can understand more about volume number one next week you'll understand what you need to know about the Jezebel spirit
