People who grow up with fathers / mothers / step parents who hurt them by either not being involved in their lives, were overly controlling, all the way to abusive, as well as those who had sexual violations (incest, molested, touched, raped, etc) will begin to hear the enemy giving them thoughts to not trust anyone, control others so you won’t be hurt again, lie if you need to, get angry so you will get your way, which are all based in fear, and they will have a strong prideful spirit. They partner with the spirits of Jezebel (1 & 2 Kings, Revelation 2:18-23)/ Leviathan (Job 41) and are controlled by the thoughts that come to them by the spirits. They look to find marriage partners and others in relationship who have the spirit of Ahab who do not like confrontation, are weak spiritual leaders, allow people to control and manipulate them, and often times are fearful of being rejected.
Most all marriages include one spouse who operates in the spirit of Jezebel to and the other has the spirit of Ahab. Jezebel is the taker and Ahab the giver. Jezebel controls & leads and Ahab gets controlled and follows Jezebel’s lead. Many also deal with the spirit of Leviathan which causes pride, twists communication and understanding of reality, back and neck pain (as it attaches to your spine and twists like an alligator), insomnia, and drowsiness when trying to read the Bible or other Christian books. Most churches have people in leadership operating in all three of these spirits to varying degrees unless they have gone through deliverance. You see a lot of pastors who are Ahab’s who have many Jezebels who run the church. You see some pastors who have Jezebel who control everyone. So what happens when we tolerate these spirits in people? What happens to our families, churches and society?
What happens is the mess we see in our families, churches and society today. Those who have the spirits of Jezebel / Leviathan do the controlling and manipulating of others to get their way and if they don’t get their way they get angry and make your life miserable until you give them what they demand. Thus those with Ahab come to learn that if they stand up against their Jezebel spouse, or others in the church with Jezebel, or in business, then Jezebel will make their lives a living hell. They will control them, lie about them and twist the truth in order to take them out or make them ineffective. The spirits are the main reason why relationships have strife and the number one reason why marriages end up in divorce. It explains why the divorce rate among those who attend church is the same as those who are unbelievers.
The list of characteristics of those who operate in Jezebel / Leviathan and Ahab are below:
Jezebel
- Controlling (you feel if you control other people you will never be hurt again)
- Manipulative
- Anxious / Fearful
- Jealous
- Demanding
- Sexually impure & selfish
- Lies
- Desire for power and leadership
- Wants to shut down true Holy Spirit
- More dominant
- Intimidates
- They act assured but are very insecure
- Cannot stand to be told no
- Loves to provoke people until they get /angry and then blame them
- Enjoys starting arguments
- Constant chatter in the mind
Leviathan
- Prideful (think u are better than someone else, opposite of humble)
- Twists communication in their minds
- Wraps around spine and twists
- Back / neck pain
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Causes drowsiness when reading Bible or Christian books
- Scoliosis
- Fibromyalgia
- Many other diseases / afflictions
- Ancestors who were in Freemasons / Shriners / Eastern Star (women)
Ahab
- Does not like confrontation
- Has a hard time being a strong spiritual leader
- Strong desire to make everyone happy
- Afraid of rejection
- Does not like taking responsibility
- Expecting bad things to take place
- Avoiding telling people what they need to do and passively putting up with bad behavior
- If someone is angry with you then you believe it must be your fault
- Believe it is your duty to make everyone happy and comfortable
- Believe what others say about you (if they say you are not a good person then you believe it)
- Have a challenge making decisions
- Believe you should always act happy in spite of hardship or trouble
- Always feel a failure, unaccepted, insecure
- Happiness and peace based on current circumstances and how loved, affirmed and accepted they feel
- Give power away in order for other people to validate your identity and to tell you who you are
- Fears abandonment and become clingy, needy and helpless
- Never take up your God-given freedom and refuse to step up and become assertive and command respect
- Usually do not forgive yourself and often has issues with God
- Overly merciful and sees the best in everyone – overlooks too much
- Forgive others too quickly without making them aware of their offenses
- Will do anything to gain acceptance
- Very nice person – too nice
- Have low self-esteem and try to gain ground by winning acceptance
So when society tolerates people with the spirit of Jezebel/Leviathan then they take over and try to shut down anything that is Christlike. They take prayer out of our school system and now look at the mess we have with school shootings, abortions, teachers afraid to teach and disrespect. They force the Ten Commandments out of the public courthouses and take down nativity scenes from public. They allow homosexuality to be blatantly open and forced upon us as “normal” and other sexual perverseness to prevail. They try to control the pastors from speaking out against evil and sin and to simply preach nice messages to make everyone feel happy and to tolerate sin while those hearing their messages who are married to spouses with Jezebel are living in misery at home.
So what happens when we no longer tolerate Jezebel/Leviathan and Ahab? Those who get delivered from the spirits (through choosing to truly forgive those who hurt them, repenting for their prideful spirits and then commanding the demons to go) will no longer desire ungodly behavior. Those who had Ahab no longer tolerate sin nor permit those with Jezebel / Leviathan to get their way whenever they get angry. They stand up for purity and righteousness and do not allow people with Jezebel/Leviathan to dominate them anymore. They encourage others to get delivered and to stand up and be a mighty man (or woman) of valor. We see President Trump taking a stand to no longer tolerate these spirits in our political world and society and the media and those in opposition to him literally hate him with such vitriol like we have never seen before.
When the people who have the spirits of Jezebel / Leviathan get delivered then they become an anointed powerhouse for the Lord as they are purified. They can hear the Lord’s voice more clearly than ever before because they no longer hear the demonic voices telling them to do bad things. Families get restored, churches in revival for the Lord and cities and nations changed as their hearts are now purified.
So it starts with you. Take a stand for purity and righteousness. Do not tolerate coming under those spirits in other people ever again. If you have to separate yourself from people who have the spirits of Jezebel / Leviathan then do it. Better that you listen and honor God then to tolerate people with those spirits. Its time to take back our families, churches, cities and nations for God.
Amen!!! Praise God Almighty forever and ever!!!
Thank you for this article and fulfilling your calling to help others!!!! Awesome!!!
You are welcome!
Wow!!!!! You are the first one to say this regarding separate yourselves from Leviathan/Jezebel spirits. I have asked people in the past that I highly respected about being around people with so much pride. (Believe me I am working on getting rid of my pride everyday—I know I am not without sin). But Is. 2:12 says “For the L-rd of hosts has a day against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low. ” (All must be torn down so that one thing alone must be left standing). Is. 2:11 “The L-d alone will be exalted in that day.” This means pride is the enemy of G-d (especially when judgment comes it needs to be gone). It m makes sense not to be around it.
I have a question. When I am around certain people that have pride, and control, I get irritable at them. I almost feel it sparks my own pride, and control in my own life. What do you think of this?????????? I don’t have much Jezebel, and Ihave gotten rid of a lot of Leviathan—my main problem is Ahab. Is that the way it works, can they spark these spirits in someone else?
G-d told me 3 times in one week not to allow anyone to control me. Since I have worked on Leviathan in my own life—I have had a breakthrough in my marriage, but my husband needs a lot more deliverance, and he is not open to say the least. What is the next step for me? Sorry I have not been able to read your books yet, but they are on my wish list.
You can watch any of my deliverance videos on my you tube channel at youtube.com/nelsonschuman67
Trump has the Jezebel spirit thus entering a new age of evil because we are in the last days.
Trump deals with Jezebel in the lives of those in the press and the Democrats. The Lord is using Trump to expose the evil that has been entrenched in the US government for years and years. So continue to pray as the Lord has already indicated that Trump will be given another term so that more of the evil and corruptness in government will be exposed. It is so evident to those who have not been blinded by the enemy. So many in the media are wicked. Hilary Clinton is a very high level witch (Jezebel) who Trump is trying to finally put behind bars as so many people have been killed by her and others. But God wins in the end!
Is it possible for both spouses to have a spirit of Ahab?
Yes. Just like it is possible for both to have the spirit of Jezebel. But you will usually see one be stronger than the other. But about 80% of marriages are more Jezebel / Ahab.
Left church broken hearted lady had spirt of jezible
Her husband had some time spirt they have secreatly
Killed young Christian in church manipulated
Controlled my wife . They have worked up next pastor we were under such war fare . When we tried to warn pastor she said hard find such faithful members . The night we called pastor politely
Left church war fare stoped .
I have had many dreams regarding the spirit of Jezebel. My son, who grew up serving the Lord, walked away from the Lord and is involved with a woman with this spirit. I am presently praying about this and believe there is a spirit of leviathan involved as well. Doing battle for him everyday. Is there a book I should read regarding this? I do not yet know a lot about this yet.
Yes you can read my best selling book Restored to Freedom

Our church is going through a transition. Pastor was removed 6 months ago because of an affair that he was having with his sister in law. There were 2 other women that made accusations against him. Some People in the church want him forgiven and put back as Pastor. His wife was very controlling and ran the church.. many were hurt by her.. they are still telling lies and leading people away from the church.. it makes me want to write to the leadership in Louisiana and report them, but I guess prayer works best.. any thoughts?
Do what God and the Holy Spirit tells you to do.
If the Lord confirms you are to expose the truth then you need to say something. He will confirm if you are anointed to do something about it.
I’ve been married to a man whom I believe is possessed by the Leviathan/Jezebel spirit and after reading this article i realized that i had the Ahab spirit.
He is very abusive and I’m considering walking away from our marriage but I know that God hates divorce what advice can you give me?
God does not want you to be abused by demons who will stop you from doing what He’s called you to do in your life. So the goal is to get your husband delivered. If he refuses after you have sent him some of my videos to watch to help him get delivered or if he refused to read my book Restored to Freedom then the Lord will confirm when it is time to separate. If he still won’t get delivered then the Lord will release you from the marriage because he is not behaving as a Christian man and you cannot allow demons to stop you from doing what God wants for you. You can find the videos at youtube.com/nelsonschuman67 and my book is on Amazon in paperback, Kindle and audible. We also have a Facebook support group for you at https://www.facebook.com/groups/337356770034014/
I was raised by an abusive jezebel who has been a curse in her own right, and I believe I have all three in me and then some. From early childhood. I can remember as a child seeing the grim reeper walk around my bed and other weird sightings/ spirits in my room. One looked like a little smiling, brown alien floating toward me. Point being, my life has been net miserable. Yes, the spine thing – there is definitely something lodged so deep in me from spine to left side of my body. I have had a life of struggling to cope and make sense of the world. I have always had intense Attention Defecit Disorder with slowly declining brain function. I have had symptoms of fibromyalgia and other chronic autoimmune disorders and a lifetime of mystery ailments. I have sruggled with mental unwellness my entire life. The more I tried to better myself, the more my symptoms fought me. Almost as if it wasn’t going to let me succeed. I spent my entire life malaised, hopeless, confused, lost, jist getting by, poor habits, misunderstood and mislabeled, etc. And never could change those things. And then it all finally consumed me. I lingered on the verge of a nervous breakdown for a few years.
And I got sucked into new ageism because the “ascension” path and the energies from it and the deep effect it had on my body were something I thought would cure me. I have been trying to fix myself since high school. And I tried everything new ageism had to offer.
Funny, I grew up in the church and never took to it. I fought going every Sunday and when I went off to college I was done.
That said, God has kept his hands on me because, given all my issues and the paths of escapism and searching I took, life could have been soooooo much worse. So i’m giving my life over Christ but I still believe I am full of stubborn negative entities that won’t go away.
Any particular video of yours you recommend me watching to help with this? Or would the book be better?
You start with my latest Worldwide Deliverance Session and then if you still need additional deliverance and understanding you can order my Restored to Freedom book from Amazon (paperback, Kindle or Audible)…https://youtu.be/ujOombQVUn4
Thank you so much for sharing, I’ve kept on questioning certain spirits working in individuals, and this clarified everything so nicely for me, the most obvious characteristics between these different spirits working in a group of individuals. I could not pin point which was working where, but working together. I would like to ask if you have information you can share concerning python and legalistic spirits … also how they fit in with the other spirits. Thank you.
Does a person who has the spirits of Jezebel/Leviathan have all the characteristics or can they have only some of them?
Those who have been hurt the deepest usually has most all of them. Otherwise many people have some of those on the list.
I am a new Christian and I ended up in a relationship with a narcissist who used to be a worship leader but he does not follow God anymore but he has this persona of being such a good guy so I decided to give him a chance anyway and I believe I have a lot of ahab qualities that he is taking advantage of. I’m searching for a way out before it gets too dangerous. So glad I found this article, whoever wrote this may God give you the highest of blessings. This really helps me understand the spirits at play and how to get out and be delivered. I pray for the blood of Jesus to cover me and everyone on this post or whoever may be in this situation. And I can’t wait to find the real man God has for me, not this false image of love from Satan himself.
Today is my first time hearing the traits of Ahab although I first heard of Jezebel thru a word of Knowledge from the Lord over 3 yrs ago & honestly had no idea what that even was. I googled it. I was told a pastor was afflicted w/ Ahab & it meant that he was passive & easily manipulated by Jezebel. Well, I had no idea that I have so many traits of Ahab. The man who called out the Pastor as Ahab & his new wife as Jezebel turns out has a spirit of Jezebel, Deviation or both bc he even has the physical traits & so does my teenage son!!! I have been set free from many of the Ahab traits thankfully and was able to turn him in 2 weeks ago to the Bible College where we attend. He’s apparently not only taken advantage of me financially but 2 other women, one at the college & one in our small community. I’ve been pressing into the Lord about how do I attract these predators, having been sexually molested by multiple men since age 2, 4, 5, 7 & 14 then raped by 2 men including my ex-husband who I now see was ruled by Jezebel as well. I’ve been asking Lord, please tell me what it is that is attracting these men. He told me to stop turning a blind eye to sin, to stop winking at sin, to stand for truth and hold this guy accountable. The Lord showed me how if I turn a blind eye, it teaches my heart “there’s nothing to see here folks” and my heart becomes hardened to these ppl who only wish to do me harm & use me. I am taking a stand for righteousness. I’m calling what is evil, evil and what is good, good. I stood up to this man. I found a way 9 months ago to distance myself from him & found out he was seeing another woman behind my back. But I didn’t tuck my tail and run like the other 2 girls. I’ve learned so much & overcome so much thru this experience. “When someone tells (shows) you who they are, believe them.” ~ Maya Angelou. I wrote a sticky beside my bed: “Do not compromise with evil.” I’m living by that from now on. Thank you Jesus for Your faithful hand & warriors in the faith like the gentleman who wrote this. Thank you Lord for giving me eyes to see.
