One of the main objectives of a Jezebelite is to gain as many followers as possible. They will actually court various individuals by posing as their friends or counselors. It is entirely possible to see such a courted individual gradually come under the hypnotic infuence of a Jezebelite. Some people are blinded and under the sway of Jezebel, while other become totally immersed and take on the spirit itself. Consequently, the principality gains strength, but it is preventable. Ask the Lord to open your eyes because you can counteract this influence through prayer. Early intervention is the key so don't disregard the little warning signs.
Remember this can be a gradual process. We Christians can be an unsuspecting lot. We are taught to think the best of the brethren, and we have had it pounded into us that we should not judge one another. That, of course, is true, but it needs to be balanced awith the precious gift of discernment. There can be various saints in the congregation who are familiar with the operation of the Holy Spirit, but when confronted with the possibility of a Jezebel in their midst, they rely soley on what they see. Before them stands a longtime friend, a seemingly righteous individual, and the pastor who endorses their ministry. Voila! The enmey has just cloaked an entire congregation.
There is also a great deal of kingdom building that comes into play with Jezebel. All of us try to win favor at some point or another, but if you're Spirit-led, He will rein you in. Jezebelites have the ability to draw, sway, and enlist people to their camp. This, by the way, is exactly what begins to happen. They actually have a following of individuals who look to them for guidance.
Many of these Jezebelites have an air of superiority that the enemy takes full advantage of. It comes as a result of past wounds that actually leave them with an inferiority complex. They over-compensate and act superior, but when this is utilized by the enemy, you begin to feel like you are a second-rate citizen in their presence. Those that are affected by the Jezebelite almost start to idolize this person and scurry around trying to play up to them. These followers hang on every word and worship the ground that the Jezebelite walks on. These individuals are called eunuchs because they have been rendered powerless by the spirit of Jezebel. When they should be protecting the House of God they are aiding and abetting the enemy. Good solid saints can fall into this category simply because they are not familiar with the workings of this principalities. Those that are aware of this ploy and seek only the Lord's approval are not so apt to succumb to this trap.

OBFUSCATION!
It is interesting to note that many of the spiritual enemies comprised within this Jezebel principality are deft at concealing themselves. Obfuscation, or the ability to confuse, darken or conceal a matter, is often employed when this group of spirits is involved. It is possible for the enemy to hide completely if this particular spirit is in operation. It is through this spirit that the principality of Jezebel can successfully remain undetected by most of a congregation.
In addition, it is important to recognize some of the enemy's tricks. They do not pose a real threat and can be dodged with a little wisdom. For instance, a Jezebelite can act sweetly and at the same time send a totally diffenent message in the spirit. Generally others involved will not pick up this act of duplicity unless they flow well in discernment. To the outward eye, the behavior of the host can be almost exemplary, yet simultaneously the Jezebelite can be throwing his or her spririt at you, knowing full well that as an intercessor, you are capable of picking this up. This can be difficult at first, because now you are picking up some hateful darts. Be careful. It's so easy to respoond improperly when you know that you're right and the other person is wrong, but rein in your emotions because it is a trap!
If you have the misfortune of taking the bait set by the enemy, you will find yourself guilty of answering in anger, and the Jezebelite will look like the victim of an unprovoked attack! Cute little tactic, wouldn't you say?
If you have any junk in your heart toward this individual, it will come out at this time and you will look like the culprit. God works His character in your life one way or another. At first glance,
it appears to be unfair that the Lord would allow someone to get away with this. However, if you are on the receiving end, it will force you to learn how to control your emotions and ensure that your heart is free from resentment. It takes just a few instances of responding inappropriately and looking like the guilty party to learn how to maintain your composure and respond in love.
It's important to interject and present this information in a balanced manner. Please keep in mind that while the spirit of Jezebel can cause damage within a church, the Lord is in control. He is doing a work in the peole involved, and when the time comes for their release from captivity, Jezebel will be no match for the Lord. He can easily turn the tables and set the camp in order.

Benefits of Jezebel Remaining Undercover
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!

Accused
The purpose of this blog is to alert peole to the fact that it is totally possible to be falsely accused by the spirit of Jezebel. It could even result in your dismissal from church or the work place. However, if you are aware of this possibility and know what to do, there really is no danger. but the operative word is "aware".
You might find this prospect hard to believe, but isn't that what happened to Naboth in I Kings 21? He refused to sell his ancestral land to the king because it was against Mosaic law. As a resutl, Jezebel created a false accusation and had him eliminated by the elders of the city. You may not be stoned, but you can be eliminated. Whatever is explained in scripture concerning historical Jezebel is also possible with spiritual Jezebel today.
It is admirable that many people stand independently and do not allow themselves to be manipulated by anyone, nor will they fall prey to the seducing control of this spirit. But they need to know that if they maintain this stand and resisit all attempts to be enlisted into Jezebel's camp, they will be seen as a threat. If this spirit is in play, there are only two options----Jezebel or the door. There will be no prisoners. She must be in control. At first, the spirit of Jezebel will attempt to discredit the target or possibly obscure them so they're totally overlooked. But if that fails, then a false accusation will be contrived to eliminate them as a threat. This is all done in the spiritual realm when hatred or jealousy comes up in the heart of the misguided individual. This give that demonic spirit an opportunity to flow.
But all of this is needless. Simply bind the obvious: discrediting,undermining, undercutting and false accusation. This way the enemy is bound and you can maintain your relationship with those that oppose you. Your heart is clear and you can pray for their deliverance and restoration.
If saints were aware of these tactics, this spirirt would be curtalied significantly. However, many churches and leaders are convinced that such a thing is improbable and they will go unscathed. As a result, they have often succumbed to this stealth spirit unwittingly and find themselves surrounded by a host of Jezebels. In addition, some of the strongest saints are leaving due to persecution and all that's left is a group of 'yes' men bowing down to Jezebel.
The bright side is that it is possible to withstand this spirit in a godly manner and turn the thing around. But in this blog, it has been limited to discussing how to sidestep false accusations in hopes that people will not be devastated through a lack of knowledge.
