Do you eat at Jezebel's table?

Few people see the spirit of Jezebel as a threat today.  Most consider it merely a story that happened  three thousand years ago and of little consequence.  The point is that it had terrible ramifications back then and it has terrible ramifications today.

It should be pointed out that the Jezebel of Elijah's time pretty much affected only those in her immediate surroundings, but it was the deities that she worshipped, Baal and Ashtoreh, that affected the nation.  They were the fertility god and goddess of the land and fornication, perversions, homosexuality etc were all spirits that operated as a result of Canaanite worship.  Today, if an individual has a Jezebel spirit, it will impact their family, work and/or church.  However, the spirit of Jezebel is part of a much larger picture because it can be cataloged under a wide range of sexual principalities that are in operation throughout our country. If Jezebel is functioning on a individual scale, then these same sexual temptations listed above, will have an impact on those who interact with them.  That is why Jezebel should not be tolerated.

We no longer call them deities today, but as a nation we certainly worship these sexual principalities that are over America.  Our media and music today are totally immersed in promoting promiscuity, homosexuality and a loose sexual life style which is evident in our clothing styles, language and jokes.

Connection? Jezebel opens the door to larger sexual principalities.  Many are not aware that someone with a Jezebel spirit may not exhibit any sexually immoral behavior , but is actually a carrier of sexual spirits.  Consequentially, this jeopardizes other believers around them.  However, many choose to ignore the spirit of Jezebel entirely instead of handling the situation in wisdom in discretion. The fact of the matter is the Lord wants them healed and delivered. 

It is a fair statement that a large number of believers participate in one degree or another with sexual practices that are promoted in our society.  As followers of Christ; however,we are to abide by His teachings and live wholly unto Him without compromise.  Our lives are to be exemplary not questionable.  We are to be a light unto the world.

This is why the spirit of Jezebel can not be ignored or denied existence.  Sexual sins and immorality are rampant in our society.  One way to curtail sexual sins within the church is to eliminate the Jezebel spirit by discreetly dealing with it instead of ignoring it.
