JEZEBEL AND PROPHETIC

1

MINISTRY

Following Jezebel’s prophets can get you

killed. Jezebel is a prophetess and teacher,

cunning, deceptive, controlling and the

number one adversary of Christ’ fivefold

ascension gift prophets.

ezebel was the daughter of Ethbal, king of

Jthe Sidonians. Her father was the high priest

of the goddess Ashtoreth a female deity. She

was given to wed Ahab king of Israel to form a

covenant between the two nations. Jezebel

was a wicked queen. She set out to murder the

prophets of Jehovah by the thousands. The

few that remained hid themselves in caves.

Others compromised their prophetic

5

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

ministries and gave themselves to her.

JEZEBEL'S PROPHETIC MINISTRY

Jezebel was a prophetess. She served a

foreign spirit named Ashtoreth. One of her

noted traits was her ability to teach and train

people for prophetic ministry. She has a large

following today. Every generation must guard

themselves from this seducing goddess of war

that will hijack the prophetic ministry in

every generation when given the chance.

Jezebel is a false prophetess and teacher,

cunning, deceptive, controlling and the

number one adversary of Christ’ five-fold

ascension gift prophets.

6

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

Know the logos, judge everything

you hear, examine the fruit in every

prophet's life and pray for the Holy

Spirit's discernment. Avoid her and

her prophetic network at all cost.

Every prophet should be thoroughly

schooled in recognizing Jezebel’s ministry.

Her servants look to her leadership. She can

preach, pray and prophesy better than anyone

you have ever encountered. She is crafty,

cunning, alluring and deceptive. Know the

logos, judge everything you hear, examine the

fruit in every prophet's life and pray for the

Holy Spirit’s discernment. Avoid her and her

prophetic network at all cost. She is deadly

and thousands have been slain by her. Could

you be next? She is watching you right now.

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

Prophets should always have

permission, unction, before they

prophesy.

Following the prophets of Jezebel can get

you killed. That’s what happened to Ahab.

Let’s read his story. Syria and Israel were at

peace with each other. But King Ahab wanted

to expand his kingdom. He sought a

confederacy with King Jehoshaphat of Judah

to aid him in the invasion. Ahab told

Jehoshaphat, “Everything the king of Syria

has is ours for the taking." Jehoshaphat was

not convinced. He wanted a confirmation

from Jehovah.

Then the king of Israel gathered the

prophets together, about four hundred

men, and said to them, ‘Shall I go against

Ramoth-gilead to battle or shall I forbear?’

And they said, ‘Go up for the Lord shall

deliver it into the hand of the king.’ (1

8

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

Kings 22:5-6)

You have already learned that prophets

should always have permission, unction,

before they prophesy. If they don't and

someone approaches them for a prophetic

Word, God said,

I the Lord will answer them that

cometh according to the multitude of his

idols. (Ezekiel 4:4)

In other words, "I will tell him what he

wants to hear.” Ahab is an example of such a

person with idolatry in his heart. The

prophets of Jezebel responded to the king’s

inquiry. “Go up and conquer for the Lord will

deliver it into the hand of the king.” Four

hundred prophets speaking the same thing,

can you imagine that?

And Jehoshaphat said, ‘Is there not

here a prophet of the Lord besides these

9

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

that we might inquire of him?' (1 Kings

22:7)

Jehoshaphat sensed that something was

not right with these prophets and he asked for

yet another.

And the king of Israel said to

Jehoshaphat, ‘There is yet one man,

Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we

may inquire of the Lord: but I hate him;

for he doth not prophesy good about me,

but evil.’ And Jehoshaphat said, ‘Let not

the king say so.' (1 Kings 22:8)

Ahab said there was one other prophet

they could ask. His name was Micaiah—but

Ahab hated him. King Ahab didn’t like him

because he never prophesied anything good.

He much preferred the agreeable smooth

sayings from Jezebel’s prophets. Micaiah was

the unliked prophet. Ahab was familiar with

Jehovah’s prophets. He had been troubled by

10

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

another prophet named Elijah that prophesied

a 3-1/2 year drought (1 Kings 17).

Then the king of Israel called an

officer and said, ‘Hasten hither Micaiah

the son of Imlah.’ And the king of Israel

and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each

on his throne, having put on their robes in

a void place in the entrance of the gate of

Samaria and all the prophets prophesied

before them. (1 Kings 22:9-10)

They prophesied smooth sayings of

victory from the spirit of divination

and witchcraft.

King Ahab sent for Micaiah. While the

two kings waited at the city gate, four

hundred prophets of Jezebel prophesied one

after the other what Ahab wanted to hear.

They prophesied smooth sayings of victory

from the spirit of divination and witchcraft.

11

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

You may find yourself in large meetings with

hundreds of prophets prophesying the same

thing. If so look to the Holy Spirit and an

inner-witness before agreeing. Most

importantly confirm everything said with the

Word of God.

And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah

made him horns of iron and he said, ‘Thus

saith the Lord with these shalt thou push

the Syrians until thou have consumed

them.’ (1 Kings 22:11)

Among this prophetic gathering rose a

bold prophet named Zedekiah. He got

everybody’s attention as he stepped forward

and said, “Thus saith the Lord!” He grasped

the iron horns firmly in his aged hands as

prophetic symbols. "With these you shall push

the Syrians until they are destroyed,” he said.

Everybody listened intently including the

other three hundred ninety-nine prophets and

12

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

both kings. It seemed like Zedekiah was

speaking as one with authority.

Unlike the prophet Balaam who fell

because he wanted the "rewards of

divination," Micaiah was not

persuaded by anyone but Jehovah.

Being popular among other

prophets was not in his heart.

And all the prophets prophesied so,

saying, ‘Go up to Ramoth-gilead and

prosper for the Lord shall deliver it into

the king’s hand.’ (1 Kings 22:12)

Everyone heard the elder Zedekiah

prophesy. All the prophets were in agreement.

Public opinion was set. There was only one

other prophet to hear, Micaiah.

And the messenger that was gone to

call Micaiah spake to him, saying, ‘Behold

13

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

now the words of the prophets declare

good to the king with one mouth: let thy

word, I pray thee, be like the word of one

of them and speak that which is good.’ (1

Kings 22:13)

King Ahab sent for Micaiah. After finding

him, his escort told him what was going on

and the good prophecies of the other prophets.

And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth,

what the Lord saith to me, that will I

speak.’ (1 Kings 22:14)

AHAB'S DECEPTION

Let’s make sure we understand what

Micaiah, God’s prophet, said. “As the Lord

lives I will speak what the Lord says.” God is

about to use Micaiah to answer Ahab’s inquiry

“according to the idolatry in his heart.” He is

going to tell him what he wants to hear. Are

14

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

you ready for this?

So he came to the king. And the king

said to him, ‘Micaiah, shall we go against

Ramoth-gilead to battle or shall we

forbear?’ And he answered him, ‘Go and

prosper for the Lord shall deliver it into

the hand of the king.’ (1 Kings 22:15)

Now, if you are confused, read closely.

What in the world is going on? What was it

that Micaiah said? He said, "Whatever the

Lord says that will I speak.” Now what was it

the Lord spoke through Micaiah? “Go and

prosper for the Lord shall deliver it into the

hand of the king.” Again we see God answer

someone according to the idolatry in their

heart. King Ahab put “the stumbling block of

his iniquity” before the prophet (Ezekiel 14:3)

and Micaiah prophesied the same smooth

saying as the other four hundred prophets.

Amazing!

15

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

And the king said to him, 'How many

times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me

nothing but that which is true in the name

of the Lord?’ (1 Kings 22:16)

Micaiah had always prophesied contrary

things to King Ahab. Ahab doesn’t believe his

own ears. Even Ahab was wise enough to

know that something was not right. Micaiah

then spoke the true “Word of the Lord.”

Watch this.

And he said, ‘I saw all Israel scattered

on the hills as sheep that have not a

shepherd and the Lord said, these have no

master, let them return every man to his

house in peace.’ (1 Kings 22:17)

Does this prophetic utterance say that all

will go well with the kings? No! Let’s

continue.

And the king of Israel said to

16

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

Jehoshaphat, ‘Did I not tell thee that he

would prophesy no good about me, but

evil?’ And he said, ‘Hear thou therefore

the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord

sitting on his throne and all the host of

heaven standing by him on his right hand

and on his left.’ (1 Kings 22:18-19)

Unlike the prophet Balaam who fell

because he wanted the "rewards of

divination,” Micaiah was not persuaded by

anyone but Jehovah. Being popular among

other prophets was not in his heart. Here we

see a true prophet’s heart. All prophets must

guard their hearts from the lure of public

admiration. King Ahab had idolatry in his

heart. He wanted to conquer Syria and would

do it at all cost.

JEZEBEL AND LYING SPIRITS

Micaiah first answered Ahab according to

17

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

his idolatry—but by God’s mercy released a

true prophetic utterance. Would Ahab have

ears to hear? Or was his idolatry and

covetousness going to led him into error? Let’s

take a look behind the scenes at this prophetic

gathering with the two kings. God drew back

heaven’s curtain to let us listen in on a

conversation between Him and a lying spirit

that would be allowed to deceive Jezebel's

prophets.

And the Lord said, 'Who shall

persuade Ahab that he may go up and fall

at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one said on this

manner and another said on that manner.

And there came forth a spirit and stood

before the Lord and said, 'I will persuade

him.’ And the Lord said to him,

‘Wherewith?’ And he said, ‘I will go forth

and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of

all his prophets.’ And he said, 'Thou shalt

persuade him and prevail also: go forth

18

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

and do so.’ (1 Kings 22:20-22)

This Scripture teaches that God allowed a

lying spirit to speak through these prophets

because of King Ahab’s idolatrous heart.

Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath

put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these

thy prophets and the Lord hath spoken

evil concerning thee. But Zedekiah the

son of Chenaanah went near and smote

Micaiah on the cheek and said, ‘Which

way went the spirit of the Lord from me to

speak to thee?' (1 Kings 22:23-24)

FOLLOWING JEZEBEL

Zedekiah slapped Micaiah and asked,

"How is it possible the Holy Spirit stopped

using me and began to use you?” Prophetic

error releases a spirit of pride. Zedekiah

thought that he had put the amen on the

prophetic conference. How dare Micaiah do

19

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

something contrary! You may never be

physically assaulted but you will be verbally

attacked. Chenaanah was a well respected

leader within that group. His physical assault

proves that his heart wasn’t right.

Self-Will, pride, idolatry and

covetousness were the sins of Ahab.

Following Jezebel's prophets can get

you killed.

If something like this ever happens to you,

guard your heart and don’t respond out of the

flesh. It's best to say nothing and leave. Pull

yourself together and pray. Then see what

God says. Always take the high road. You are

not one of Jezebel’s prophets—but a

representative of Christ.

Ahab ignored the prophecy of Micaiah

and followed the prophets of Jezebel. His

army was defeated and he lost his life (1 Kings

20

Jezebel and Prophetic Ministry

22:37). Self-will, pride, idolatry and

covetousness were the sins of Ahab. Following

Jezebel’s prophets can get you killed.

MEDITATION AND REFLECTION

Jezebel is a false prophetess and teacher,

cunning, deceptive, controlling and the

number one adversary of Christ’s five-fold

ascension gift prophets.

Every prophet should be thoroughly

schooled in recognizing Jezebel’s ministry.

Following the prophecies of Jezebel can

get you killed.

Micaiah was the unliked prophet.

King Ahab put "the stumbling block of his

iniquity” before the prophet (Ezekiel 14:3) and

Micaiah prophesied the same smooth saying as

the other four hundred prophets.

Self-will, pride, idolatry and covetousness
