The spirit of Jezebel can cause church growth to be stifled for years if this principality is left unchecked. The entire church can be stalled indefinitely with no apparent or explainable reason. The spirit of Jezebel can block, bind and generally incapacitate the forward motion of a church without the knowledge of the pastor or the board members. This is very possible if the members of the congregation are ignorant of the enemy's devices or do not inquire of the Lord concerning his infiltration. (See the blog entitled Have You Turned Off Your Discerner.)
When the spirit of Jezebel is in operation, private prayer can also be a real chore. Jezebel's cohorts actually stand with the intent of blocking a person's prayer. It is a weird senstaion that makes you feel as though you are not really praying and is almost surreal in nature. Prayer and intercession are greatly hampered, and it is necessary to punch a hole in the atmosphere in order to reach the throne. It can be done, but it certainly takes the joy out of sitting down with the Lord in prayer. In order to break through, it is necessary to bind any blocks and incapacitations put in place by the enemy.
Those operating in conjunction with a Jezebel spirirt can actually 'cut' you from the Lord during prayer or worship. In either case, when you try to communicate with the Lord, you realize that there simply is no connection. You are not receiving any feedback in your spirit. It is as if you were talking on the phone with a friend and suddenly realize that you've been disconnected. It can be remedied by simply binding any cutting prayers and any spirits that bind, block, or incapacitate your praise and worship. It may not be a case of someone deliberately praying and asking the Lord to separate you from Him, but prayers with wrong intentions or wrong heart attitudes, on the part of the Jezebelite, can give the enemy license to hinder or obstruct your progress.
Another interesting aspect of a Jezebel spirit is the amount of psychic manipulation that takes place. When a Jezebelite targets individuals or intercessors, their minds can be greatly afflicted with vain imaginations, distractions, and confusion. Their thought processes can be hampered in varying degrees, ranging from mild to extreme interference involving even the simplest of thought patterns. According to Jonas Clark in his book entitled Exposing Spiritual Wichcraft, this is a result of withchcraft in operation. There is definitely a strain on the brain, and maintaining an intelligent conversation is almost impossible. Not only is it difficult to carry on daily activities when mind control and sorcery are in operation, but decision-making within a church can suffer wrong turns and enable the enemy to maneuver his people into profitable postions for greater control.
But all of this can be avoided if churches are aware that a spirit Jezebel can exist in any congregation.

Patricia King: What is God Saying for 2012?
This is a sound gimpse into 2012 and is scripturally based. She speaks of a company of Elijahs or radically righteous believers that will emerge on the scene. This has surfaced frequently in a number of books including mine--Jezebel in Our Midst.
She breaks down her prophetic insight into basically five categories.
1. new era---more miracles and supernatural
2. children will be at risk
3. globalization will increase
4. biblical justice will be administered
5. kingdom economy will be our provision not the world economy

Jezebel vs. John Wayne?!?!?!?!
After you have defended yourself against this spirit of Jezebel for a while, you'll notice that the fear you initially encountered is not in the forefront as it had once been. Instead it now operates on a lower level and is not easily detected when other areas of warfare are dominating the scene. As a result, you go after the heavy artillery and ignore the spirit of intimidation that lingers in the background. This robs you, however, of your effectiveness in the Holy Spirit.
If a spirit of intimidaiton is still in the arena, then you are not taking your rightful stance. It makes you feel like there is a need of constant warfare. This impression comes because the enemy is hitting your 'feeling realm' in hopes of suggesting that he is still raging after you have bound him.
Between these two tactics, you may be buying into the suggestion that things are not subdued after warring or that your victories are short-lived. This is a lie. When you bind something, it is bound, and he cannot undo it. You need to believe that instead of the impressions that you pick up from the enemey's camp.
When you bind Jezebel and the entire company of spirits that accompany it, they truly are bound; however, when the people hosting these spirits begin to pray or make declations, it is going to feel like they are breakig through. But it only occurs when you drop your shield of faith and doubt the validity of Matthew 16:19. Believe that He has given you the keys of the kingdom and that what you bind is bound and what you loose is loosed. As long as you stand your ground they can't touch you. You're a child of the Most High God, and based on your union with Christ, you are seated in heavenly places with Him. You have dominion over the enemy, so believe with your whole heart and they won't be abe to move you.
Unfortunately, the enemy refuses to admit defeat and will always try get you to doubt because if he can, then your bindings mean nothing. That's how important it is to believe that your're truly binding the enemy. It really boils down to ignoring the feeling realm and believing the Word of God. When you have bound things and he continues to call your bluff, it's time for you "having done all to stand, stand" until he leaves. That's called immoveable and unshakeable.
There's one more thing that relates to your stance and that is in the middle of all this you have to continue with life. Circumstances may be difficult and/or painful, but you must not convey that in your attitude. It's a time to act the part of someone who has the victory because you do have the victory. Carry your head high and don't feel sorry for yourself in the midst of the difficulties. It's not enough to say you have the victory, you have to walk like you have the victory. Believe it or not that is a definite form of warfare. Attitude is everthing, so partner get out your John Wayne walk and go get 'em cowboy!
