Growing To Love One Another

In our current series called “Growing to Love One Another” we are dealing with the spirit of Jezebel and its partner Ahab. This pair of demonic spirits have been allowed to settle in our culture, both within the church and within our society. As the Church we must begin to rise up in our passion to no longer tolerate the nature and character of these spirits. As we begin to draw near to the Lord and He draws near to us, we can identify the tactics of the enemy and resist him. This results is an increase in our love for one another and authority over the nations.

Jesus promised us in Rev 2:18-26 that if we would overcome the spirit of Jezebel, He would give us authority over the nations. I’m ready to start seeing some things change in the area of tolerance so that we can exercise some authority and watch the Kingdom of God expand through the ministry of loving one another! Below are some characteristics of these two spirits that we each need to take the time understand and deal with. Remember, we are talking about a ruling principality that has settled as way of thinking. If you identify any of these thoughts and actions in your life that have been tolerated, simply confess the sin, repent and forsake that way of thinking and acting. Choose to walk in the Spirit of God!

The spirit of Jezebel and the enabler Ahab (one who has surrendered their authority) are dividing spirits who move through fear, witchcraft, confusion, careless speech, criticism, manipulation, control and visionary discrepancies. These spirits use obsessive sensuality, witchcraft, rebellion, hatred for authority, man-hating, un-submitted, power-hungry, idolatry, domineering, controlling, murmuring, independence and whispering campaigns as its tactics for control and influence. Take these areas personally before taking them on in any other areas (i.e. neighbors, community, state, nation). Now that you have bound the spirit of Jezebel and its partner Ahab (the enabler) loose the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit.

Now go and exercise that gift of authority you’ve been given by healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons and cleansing the lepers in the love of Jesus Christ!
