PROPHETIC MINISTRY

he phone rang today. A teary-eyed young

Twoman, we’ll call her Sally, on the other

end called one of our prayer counselors at the

ministry saying,

I—I want to thank Jonas for writing

about the spirit of Jezebel.

Our ministry often receives calls from

readers facing something they don’t quite

know how to handle. This call, however, was

even more sobering. She told the story of

living in a small rural town in heartland

America. She said her husband and children

love God with all their hearts and are faithful

attendees to their church. She continued,

At our church there is a woman who

wanted to recruit me. I didn’t get a witness

and needed to pray about it a bit more.

After several weeks of hounding me, she

began to prophesy that God was calling me

to work with her. Again, I didn’t have an

inner witness to that prophetic word of

prophecy. When I didn’t receive the

prophetic word, she told me I was in

rebellion against God and my children

would come under a curse.

Later that night I told my husband

what she prophesied. Being just simple

believers we decided that we should talk

with the pastor about it. We love our

church and it’s one of the fastest growing

in our area. People come from miles

around to attend. We love God too and are

just regular people. We don’t have any

ministerial training and just want to serve

Jesus the best way we know how. We

were brought up in a denominational

church and don’t have much experience in

a Spirit-filled church with ‘prophetic

people.’ I’m so disturbed over this.

As she paused to wipe away more tears.

Our pastor accepted an appointment

from me. When I told him what the

woman prophesied over me that I should

work with her and when I refused she told

me that God said that rebellion

endangered my children’s lives, to my

utter surprise, the pastor closed his

office door, lowered his voice, also

prophesied over me saying that the

Holy Spirit told him that I should

work with the woman and stop being

such a (explicative not included).

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

I would encourage all my brothers

and sisters in Christ to resist

unscriptural malice and control

even when delivered with a

spiritual sounding “thus sayeth the

Lord."

Friend, this dear woman was heart-

broken. Through sobs she told the rest of her

testimony of prophetic error at her church. I

would be shocked with her call except we

have fielded related calls before. Many

questions arise when we hear things like this

such as: “What’s happening to the prophetic

ministry within our Spirit-filled and

Charismatic churches across our nation? Is it

possible the prophetic ministry is being

hijacked by another spirit? Has the Jezebel

spirit so seduced and deceived that we fail to

see the control, manipulation and absolute

8

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

putrescence within certain circles? Why has

prophetic ministry become so mystical,

ambiguous, equivocal and superspiritual? Why

do some freely curse our nation, leaders, the

children of God and others in the name of the

Lord when scripture specifically says, 'bless

and curse not?'” (Romans 12:14).

Is it possible we need correction, even

reformation within the Church regarding

prophetic ministry? Where are the protectors

of the Cross? Who’s responsible for the well-

being of the children of God? What is the

purpose of prophecy anyway? Is it to judge

and condemn, scold and wangle? Is it a mean-

spirited operation? (1 Corinthians 13:2). What

is the fruit of prophetic ministry in America?

Are thousands repenting of their sins and

coming to Christ? Are the hearts of the fathers

turning toward the sons and the sons toward

the fathers?

9

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

Should we dare ask any questions?

Is there any mercy, grace, faith, hope or

peace offered toward the people of God and

our country? Is personal prophesy manifesting

Christ, the spirit of prophesy? Is it true that

this woman’s children would fall under a

curse for not obeying this woman's prophetic

utterance? Did this pastor step out of line and

sully the spirit of prophecy? Is his apparent

success in ministry validated because the

church is large and growing? What should our

response be? Are we experiencing true

prophetic ministry when such utterances are

spoken in the name of the Lord? That’s many

questions I know.

I am convinced that all personal prophesy

should be judged according to Scripture that is

given:

… by inspiration of God and is

profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for

10

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

correction, for instruction in righteousness

that the man of God may be perfect,

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

(2 Timothy 3:16-17).

The Word says,

Believe not every spirit, but try the

spirits whether they are of God.... (1 John

4:1).

Jezebel is a prophetic spirit and

demonic warrior. She can be bold,

crafty, subtle, aloof and daring. She

can teach, preach and prophesy

better than any one you have ever

met.

That means put what is said to you on

trial, and don’t be afraid to do it. I would

encourage all my brothers and sisters in Christ

to resist unscriptural malice and control even

11

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

when delivered with a spiritual sounding

“thus sayeth the Lord.” And it doesn’t matter

how well known the person is or how many

television shows he or she has appeared on, all

prophecy should be examined.

I would like to appeal to you old-timers in

the Lord, guardians and friends of the faith

that were raised around the Holy Ghost to

help those in this generation rightly divide the

Word of Truth and to understand the sensible,

loving and gentle ways of the Holy Spirit and

to look to God, not man, even prophetic ones,

for counsel, wisdom and direction. Derek

Prince once said regarding the manifestation

of the Spirit, “The manifestation of the Spirit is

always given for a useful, practical, sensible

purpose.”

So what would your counsel be to a

heartbroken family that feels so sad? Some

might say this family needs to stay in the

12

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

church and work it out. Often I would agree.

This, however, is startling and distressing.

Does one really need a faux prophetic word as

a recruiting tool? Yes, Christ’s Church is a

respected place that I love dearly but if Jezebel

is free to operate with the approval of

leadership in any particular community then

that husband has a responsibility, even a duty

as the priest of his house, to take his wife and

family out of harm's way without delay as

they search for another fellowship.

“But what of prophetic words and the

spirit of prophecy?” you ask. Scripture

declares, “Despise not prophesyings” (1

Thessalonians 5:20). We do, however, have a

responsibility to,

Study to show yourself approved unto

God, a workman that needeth not to be

ashamed, rightly dividing the word of

truth. But shun profane and vain

13

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

babblings: (especially prophetic ones) for

they will increase unto more ungodliness.

(2 Timothy 2:15-16).

Jezebel is a prophetic spirit and demonic

warrior. She can be bold, crafty, subtle, aloof

and daring. She can teach, preach and

prophesy better than any one you have ever

met. She's public at times and concealed at

others. She waits, she stalks, she seizes in

moments of weakness, your weakness. She is,

in her own stead, a giant killer, God's giants.

Many have fallen by her sword. Her life is full

of chaos, confusion, sexual sin, perversions

many, and fear. She knows the Word of God

but refuses to live by it.

14

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

The Spirit of God inside of you is

opposing the spiritual climate

around you. The reason you feel

uncomfortable in your spirit

sometimes is because your spirit

will contend with things unseen.

In my book I called her Jezebel, Seducing

Goddess of War and that’s exactly what this

spirit is as she declares herself the unseen

“lady of kingdoms” (Isaiah 47).

CONFRONTATION WITH JEZEBEL

I met the Jezebel spirit early on in my

prophetic ministry and quickly became

intimately acquainted with her wicked ways.

Shortly after this brief introduction, I found

myself being resisted on all fronts, yet I didn’t

completely understand what that resistance

was. You see, Jezebel was yet an unnamed foe.

15

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

The Jezebel spirit was at that time a

mysterious rival that seemed to know me

quite well. It was as if she had studied my

strengths and weaknesses as she prepared to

wage an all-out war against me.

While I had a revelation of spiritual

warfare and binding and loosing, this spiritual

war was somehow different and the victory

was not swift. The root of the resistance was

deeply planted in the spiritual realm.

Whoever this unseen rival was, it was not

giving up easily. It wasn't even backing down.

I still remember pacing around my

backyard in prayer and intercession for hours

at a time during those days. What felt like an

intense grieving would come upon me

regularly and all I could do was cry out to God

to unlock the mystery. The grieving

intensified and I realized I was in a spiritual

war far greater than anything I had

16

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

experienced in the past. It was a spiritual clash

against an unidentified enemy. I can't do

justice to the feelings with mere words. Suffice

it to say that I knew I was under a vicious

spiritual attack. And vicious is still too mild a

word. I knew I was in a spiritual war against

an especially wicked foe.

It is critical to understand who your

enemy is, and for our own

protection God will not send us into

battle without preparing us.

This went on for months until one day I

heard a minister explaining an experience that

was markedly similar to mine. He described

the emotions of his soul and even the physical

symptoms associated with contending with a

spirit called “Jezebel” and he explained that he

had to learn how to fight the Jezebel spirit so

he could launch his ministry.

17

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

When I heard him say that, something

went off inside of me (an inner witness) and I

thought, “That’s the same thing that I feel, in

my spirit, when I walk around my backyard

praying.” Once I knew what I was fighting

against, I began to study the Word of God for

revelation on the wicked wiles of this Jezebel

spirit.

Perhaps you are feeling the same spiritual

clash. When you feel that clash it could be

because the Jezebel spirit is targeting and

attacking you or because the Spirit of God

inside of you is opposing the spiritual climate

around you. The reason you feel

uncomfortable in your spirit sometimes is

because your spirit will contend with things

unseen. Scripture declares,

For we wrestle not against flesh and

blood, but against principalities, against

powers, against the rulers of the darkness

18

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

of this world, against spiritual wickedness

in high places. (Ephesians 6:12).

When God was training me for the

ministry He taught me about these things in

my backyard so that I would not be ignorant

of the devil's devices when He sent me to the

nations (2 Corinthians 2:11). It is critical to

understand who your enemy is, and for our

own protection God will not send us into

battle without preparing us. The Holy Spirit

Himself taught me how to fight against and

conquer the Jezebel spirit through prayer and

intercession. And once I conquered her, the

Lord put it on my heart to write a book to

help others break free from Jezebel, the

seducing goddess of war.

Are you contending with this unseen

Jezebel spirit that is trying to destroy your life,

family, ministry and future? Brothers and

sisters, you must be well prepared to contend

19

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

with the Jezebel spirit, God desires to equip all

of His children to live a victorious Christian

life here and now.

Read one reader’s testimony of a young

preacher’s kid from Michigan who discovered

the Jezebel spirit operating in his parents’

church. What was worse, this Jezebel spirit

was on the praise and worship team and

attempted to wreak havoc in the sanctuary

every chance she got. Listen to Billy’s

testimony..

JEZEBEL’S ATTEMPT TO HINDER THE

HOLY SPIRIT

I am a 21-year-old minister at my

parents’ church. My mom and dad are

called as a prophetess and apostle. I am

called as a prophet myself. I wanted to

share with you some of the things I have

seen Jezebel do in our church.

20

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

At first we did not know it was

Jezebel, but as we learned more about her

traits we soon realized whom we were

dealing with. This spirit moved through

people at our church. One in particular

was our praise and worship leader. At

times when she would lead worship I

would hear something screech almost like

a bird. At first I thought it was the sound

equipment acting up, but it would be so

painful I couldn't stand it. She was

purposely messing up. When the Holy

Spirit would finally fall she would cut us

off and butcher the song. She couldn't

stand the prophetic voice even when

coming through songs. That spirit was

seducing and flattering one minute and

would cut you the next.

21

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

She's public at times and concealed

at others. She waits, she stalks, she

seizes in moments of weakness,

your weakness. She is, in her own

stead, a giant killer, God's giants*

I have seen men on fire for God and

when they married a Jezebel they would

be emasculated. They would look old and

drained as if they had no life. Just recently

the Lord told me to name the youth

department “Jehu Generation.” He said He

was going to raise up warriors with a word

in their mouth and a sword in their hand

that would destroy Jezebel and Baal and

not compromise. I had my doubts about

the name because I thought it was

extreme, but I know that the Lord told me

this. Now I see why I am going through

attacks. Jezebel doesn’t want me to walk in

my destiny.

22

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

Like Billy I pray that you will learn to

resist and overcome the Jezebel spirit in your

ministries and churches for the sake of your

families and nations.

Christ had something to say to the leaders

of His governing churches that ignored the

Jezebel spirit.

Notwithstanding I have a few things

against thee, because thou sufferest (you

know she is in your ministry and don’t do

anything to stop her) that woman Jezebel,

which calleth herself a prophetess (a

prophetic spirit), to teach and to seduce

my servants.... And I gave her space to

repent of her fornication and she repented

not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and

them that commit adultery with her into

great tribulation (stress beyond belief),

except they repent of their deeds. And I

will kill her children with death and all

the churches shall know that I am he

23

How Jezebel Hijacks Prophetic Ministry

which searcheth the reins and hearts (the

motives of people including their

prophetic words): and I will give unto

every one of you according to your works.

(Revelation 2:20-23).

I am reminded of Christ prophetic word

that every demonic spirit, especially the spirit

of Jezebel, needs to hear, “I will build my

church and the gates of hell will not prevail

against it.”
