LET US ALL BE CAREFUL AND CONTINUE TO EXAMINE OURSELVES, WE MIGHT T SOME POINT, HAVE THIS JEZEBELIC SPIRIT: A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.” Ephesians 6:10-14 NLT A Jezebel Spirit in a person…. - Believes to be right. Wants to win. Will argue till you drop. - Has a blame/guilt mindset: Everything comes down to who is right and who is wrong. - Is unwilling to compromise on priorities: Everything has to go the way they have planned it. - Is strongly defensive when approached for criticism and correction, even guidance. Will retaliate by spreading rumors and lies and try to discredit and destroy the reputation of those who confront them for their wrong-doings. - Rejects good-willed help or empathy because of pride: “Dont feel sorry for me. I can take care of myself.” - Self-rejects: “You hate me,” “I am not good enough for you,” “What do you want with a fat cow like me?”, “Why dont you marry somebody else?” - Feels unappreciated: Is constantly fishing for approval, confirmation, understanding, and more interest in them. “You never .... anymore!” - Uses attention seeking crocodile tears: “You dont love me,” “Just leave me alone.” - Is unable to receive: Is too proud to receive love and things from God. Feels humiliated in receiving, but likes to give gifts to others to boost their own self-esteem, as if saying: “I can afford expensive gifts,” or “Look what I am able to do with the success I have worked so hard for.” Doesnt believe when they are told that they are loved. “Its never enough”-mentality. - Has own agenda: Forces their own life-vision and personal dreams of achievement onto the marriage without regards to the spouse. - Distorts communication: Twists and turns matters into the obscure, and refuses to “kiss and make up,” leaving issues in an ongoing dispute. - Uses control in relationships and ex-relationships: Doesnt give closure to ex. Leaves matters unsettled. Uses children against spouse or ex. Holds back ex’s personal items, refusing to give them back. Ignores, or uses the “silent treatment” to instill guilt. Claims to be perfect and without fault – nothing to regret or repent from. - Holds on to old experiences and people from the past. Insists on bringing family members and family traditions into the marriage. - Justifies everything: Always has an excuse for their activities. Doesnt ask other peoples opinions. Doesnt seek Godly wisdom or exercise self-control. Talks too much. Is inappropriate. Is always busy persuading people and spouse of their standpoint and their good intentions and how wonderful they are. Accuses others of doing what they themselves are doing. Gets easily offended and has a “How dare you speak to me” –attitude. - Thrives in rebellion and disobedience: Always does “extra” - cannot do with the simple. Doesnt take advice, but is headstrong on their own ideas. Doesnt take correction, but continues justifying their cause. Doesnt heed to the authority they are under, whether God Himself, spouse, pastor, parent, or other but always chooses to be defiant and rebellious against it. Doesnt like to admit fault or failure because their entire identity is built on “never failing.” Resists every flow of peace and order. - Doesnt have peace. Causes problems instead of avoiding problems. Is confrontational. Is conflict-oriented. Is moody and unpredictable. Often has compulsive control disorders. Is negative and disapproving. Spreads confusion and misunderstandings. Cause division and isolation. Lord God, only You who knows my heart and my desires. If I have any of the jezebelic spirit cast it out in the name of Jesus and protect me, shield me, cover me with your blood. Thank you for exposing this to me. Holy Spirit please continue to remind me to focus and fix my eyes on the things of eternal not temporal. In Jesus name, amen!
