When did so much of the Spirit-filled Body of Christ become passive, religiously correct, and decide to give its power to Jezabel? Just saying... Would you take a few minutes to listen to a veteran warrior? In 37 years of ministry, I havent seen it this bad before. And, at a time that Jesus is pouring out some of the greatest revelations and anointings in His kingdom. Universally, believers are having glorious 3rd heaven encounters, and walking in the Spirit with profound agility. But, a large percentage of them are scripturally illiterate, and have neither the perception, nor the courage to take a stand for righteousness. To do so requires taking a stand against that which is wrong: deceiving spirits, Jezabel spirits (narcissistic, manipulative), abusive spirits, weak and mealy-mouth doctrines, and plain stupid demonstrations of flesh that are attributed to the Holy Spirit. Saints, Jesus came bringing a sword of truth, not a dont rock the boat doctrine of tolerance. You cant tolerate Jezabel. You cant keep peace with that spirit, shell end up destroying your ministry and taking over large portions of your life. One of the deceptions that the enemy uses to perpetuate this spiritual passivity is Gods doing a new thing...move over old timer, us young spiritual ones will show you how its done. We dont have to be under anyone...our authority comes from Jesus. Remember: the only reason the second generation of Israelites made it to the promised land, is because Joshua and Caleb had already been there, and they were the only ones who knew the way. They were experienced enough to know how to recognize and to take a stand against the enemy. The old timers saved a whole nation. I believe thats why the Lord took me to 3rd heaven, taught me about 3rd heaven authority, and then said teach my people so they wont be deceived in spiritual experiences that they have. The good news is the gates of hell will not prevail against the church. There are many well grounded and knowledgeable ministries in the church. Lets honor them, and lets learn the ways of the spirit from them...especially how to develop a spiritual backbone when it comes to Jezabel and powerless doctrines. And, yes, it can all be done with love, grace and dignity. -Mike
