DEFINING JEZEBEL AND AHAB
The world is peppered with people who knowingly or unknowingly let
themselves be infiltrated by Jezebel and Ahab spirits, then controlled by them.
I’ll show you some of their characteristics from a Bible, so you can make your
own conclusions, from a Biblical standpoint. The names of these two evil
spirits come directly from the Bible. Jezebel in the Bible was the manipulative wife of King
Ahab. She coerced over ten million Hebrews to bow to Baal, practicing human
sacrifice and killing God’s prophets. This one spirit was responsible for
corrupting an entire nation. It is intensely ambitious and keeps secret
alliances ready for use whenever it wants something. Jezebel is a master of
enticement and blackmail. Their story is
found in 1 Kings chapter 16 to 21 and 2 Kings chapter 9.
The Hebrew word for “Jezebel” means “unmarried, uncommitted,
unrestricted.” A Jezebel spirit is always looking for control. The Ahab spirit
is a willing client, Jezebel’s perfect companion. The Ahab spirit makes its
host person weak and easily manipulated. Jezebels never commit to any person,
but use people with Ahab spirits to carry out their plans. In psychology, the
relationship between Ahab and Jezebel is called co-dependency. Jezebel needs a
weak person and Ahab, who hates confrontation, needs a strong one.
1 Kings 16:30 reads: “Ahab did evil in the sight of the Lord
above all that were before him.” And 1 Kings 21:25: “But there was none like unto Ahab, which
did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord,
whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.”
A person with an Ahab spirit fears confrontation and will do
just about anything to avoid it. They value peace more than honesty, making
truces rather than righteous agreements. Ahabs like the position of authority,
but they look for someone else to make the confrontational and difficult
decisions. That’s where the Jezebel comes in. A Jezebel will instantly take
over acting authority.
Ahab, an Israelite, allowed Jezebel to practice and
perpetuate her witchcraft and her sacrifices to Satan. He allowed her to gather
other Satanic followers, and he sat by idly while Jezebel openly murdered the
true prophets of God.
Jezebel is a charmer, sexy, funny, engaging and even
delightful, but once in control, severely vicious.
Proverbs 5:3
tells us: “The lips of a strange woman drop as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother
than oil.” And Proverbs 7:5: “Keep thee from the strange woman, from the
stranger which flattereth with her words.” In these two verses, the word
“stranger” is a Hebrew word meaning “a stranger to the truth, an alien, an
enemy.”
Deuteronomy
13:6 tells us about the Jezebel spirit: “If thy brother, or thy son or thy
daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul,
entice thee secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast
not known.” A Jezebel entices people to stray away from the true God.
Proverbs 23:27
tells us: “A strange woman is a narrow pit.” In other words, a tough one to get
out of. First Corinthians puts it another way: “What? Know ye not that he which
is joined to a harlot is one body? For two, saith he, shall be one flesh.” When
Ahab got connected to Jezebel, he became an enabler with her. They became an
odd, but powerful team.
Unfortunately,
I’ve run out of time tonight, but will continue on Sunday with more about
Jezebel and Ahab and what God says are the shields and weapons against them,
and what we can expect as far as their take-down.
