JEZEBEL’S FALSE ACCUSATIONS WILL INCREASE GOD’S BLESSINGS & ANOINTING OVER YOU In 1 Kings 21 Ahab wanted to buy Naboth’s vineyard to turn it into a vegetable garden but Naboth said no as he was going to give it to his own children. So Ahab told his wife Jezebel and she came up with a plan to invite Naboth to a banquet and then had 2 scoundrels accuse Naboth of blaspheming God and King Ahab when she was the one who actually came against God and killed the prophets of the Lord. Jezebel ultimately killed Naboth and stole his vineyard to give to Ahab her husband. God then told Elijah to confront Ahab for the murder of Naboth and Ahab actually repented and fasted and put on sackcloth but Jezebel refused to repent. So God used Elijah to kill Jezebel’s 450 Baal prophets and then afterwards Jezebel threatened to kill Elijah. God then rescued Elijah and took him to heaven before Jezebel could kill him. Jezebel ultimately lost her life when Jehu came. When you walk in righteousness to the Lord, have forgiven all who hurt you, repented for pride and made sin rare in your life, cast out demons…

PAUL’S THORN IN HIS FLESH WERE PEOPLE SENT BY SATAN TO PERSECUTE HIM Many have been taught that Paul’s thorn in his flesh was a physical pain that God wouldn’t heal him from but the saying of a “thorn in the flesh” is similar to today’s saying of “a pain in the butt.”  In the Old Testament it was commonly said that people who made your life harder were “a thorn in my eye or side.” Paul’s thorn was a demonic spirit or messenger sent by Satan in people who were against Paul which continually stirred up persecution against him. This is also verified by three Old Testament references (Num. 33:55; Joshua 23:13 and Judges 2:3), where people coming against others spoken of as being “thorns in your sides” and “thorns in your eyes.” So when someone says or does something to cause you struggles, or to make your life harder, or if you are ministering to people to help them but someone is coming against you by telling lies about you told by those with demons or the Jezebel spirit then they are a “pain in your butt” or “thorn in your flesh”. So God wouldn’t remove the people…

UNDERSTANDING MONITORING SPIRITS & HOW TO DEFEAT THEM Monitoring spirits / demons will watch what you do and what you say and then report the information they observe back to people with evil intentions, witches or warlocks or various demonic networks so they can try to hinder you in your life, marriage, relationships and especially ministry.  The monitoring spirits are demons that you cannot see with your eyes but can also be in insects or animals like birds, rats, cats, or dogs, or could be actual people who astral project to spy on you or in people disguised to be your friend but only want to probe you for information. Monitoring spirits will especially watch those who are making an impact for God’s kingdom to try and come against them through causing: Fear & Doubt Fatigue & Insomnia Sickness for no reason or cause Recurring negative patterns / frustrations Experiencing strange delays / obstacles Distractions / Feeling watched or dreams & visions of being watched The spiritually weakest in your family are easy targets to be attacked They study our weaknesses, struggles and know our past and present and work to keep us in those destructive cycles.  They will know…

SATAN SENDS PEOPLE TO CAUSE YOU TO QUESTION & DOUBT YOURSELF Satan wants you to question who you are and have doubts about your calling and purpose. He will have people falsely accuse you to cause you to have fear and get you to stop God’s plan for your life. He wants you to worry what others think instead of staying focused on the ministry He has called you to accomplish.  He will remind you of all the bad things that you used to do and try to convince you that you are still that person. Nehemiah was obeying God and rebuilding the wall to protect the Jews in Jerusalem and his enemies falsely accused him of wanting to become king to try to stop him from finishing the wall. ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Now it happened when Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall, and that there were no breaks left in it (though at that time I had not hung the doors in the gates), that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together among the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they…

THE MOST CUNNING & EVIL WITCHES OPERATE IN THE CHURCH Witches who are in the church are very hard to discern because they don’t wear black pointy hats or have green skin. They will dress normal and act loving to deceive the majority of church people as long as they can so it is very hard to discern inside their hearts that they have evil intentions. They are extremely good at acting godly, loving, doing things for you, being nice and knowing many Bible scriptures. They act like they are humble but it is a false humility as they are very prideful and jealous of truly anointed people. They will sing and worship often in an exaggerated way to draw attention and make people think they are super anointed and righteous but it is just an act as their intentions of their heart are evil and selfish and wicked. They are obsessed to be in leadership - often on intercessory prayer teams and deliverance ministry or have their own ministry so they can know details of people’s lives so they can gossip, betray and hurt them. They talk a lot about themselves and how great they are and ultimately want…

THE SUFFERING THAT YOU ENDURED WILL HELP LEAD OTHERS OUT OF THEIR SUFFERING No one likes to suffer but the Lord uses it to ultimately strengthen and anoint you to help lead others later out of their suffering. Personal experience with pain is hard but what is learned from it is extremely valuable in helping others overcome their suffering. Joseph suffered at the hands of his jealous older brothers who wanted to kill him but later sold him into slavery to some Egyptians. He worked through that rejection and betrayal and developed a strong character and integrity and ultimately received favor and complete trust from his master Potiphar. Unfortunately he suffered again when Potiphar’s wife tried having sex with him but he did the right thing and ran from her only to have her lie about him and accused him of wanting sex with her. He was unjustly thrown into prison and suffered for at least 2 years and some say it was up to 13 years. He could have been very bitter and angry with God for doing the right thing and yet being falsely accused and imprisoned but stayed in faith. Finally he was brought before the Pharoah…

REASONS GOD HASN’T PHYSICALLY HEALED YOU YET Everyone wants to have good health so we need to look in the mirror and ask Jesus to show us what is the spiritual root causing us sickness or pain and what we need to do to be healed and walk in good health. Areas to consider: Unforgiveness (Matthew 18:21-35) - Jesus gave the parable of a man who refused to forgive another man who owed him a little after he was forgiven a lot of money. Jesus said that man was turned over to the tormentors and the same thing would happen to us if we didn’t forgive everyone from our hearts. What torments people? Demons. They can cause both mental torment and physical sickness. Pride - Naaman had leprosy and didn’t want to humble himself to obey Elisha to be healed by dipping 7 times in the dirty Jordan River  (2 Kings 5). He wanted Elisha to wave his hand over his leprosy to get healed. He relented and humbled himself and dipped 7 times in the Jordan River and was healed. Pride got Lucifer kicked out of heaven. Anger / Jealousy (1 Samuel 16:14 Saul was tormented by a demon…

ARE YOU HEARING FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT OR DEMONIC SPIRITS? Many who have the Holy Spirit are taught that they can no longer be tormented or oppressed by demonic spirits because they have been told that the Holy Spirit can’t dwell with demonic spirits. The truth is that we must get the Holy Spirit in order to help us get delivered from all the demonic spirits who attached to our souls (mind, will and emotions) due to our hurts and wounds, unforgiveness, pride, lust, fear and sin in our lives. The Holy Spirit will convict us of our sin and help lead us to overcoming. In Matthew 18:21-35 Jesus explained if we refuse to forgive others for sinning against us from our hearts then we will be turned over to the tormentors. Demons torment Christians who have not forgiven all from their hearts. They oppress Christians by giving them thousands of thoughts a day trying to cause them to justify and excuse sin in their lives which allows them to stay in their flesh instead of true repentance like Jesus taught so they can walk in the fruit of the spirit. Thus many who have the Holy Spirit in their…

GOD’S ANOINTED WILL BE ATTACKED BY FAMILY MEMBERS When you are truly pursuing the Lord, walking in obedience to the Bible, walking in the fruit of the spirit, humility and sexual purity, don’t be surprised when those around you manifest to try to provoke you into arguments, taking an offense at the drop of a hat, and trying to cause an uncomfortable atmosphere filled with tension in your home and workplace and at church. The enemy will attack those who are spiritually weaker and compromised around you to attack you. Joseph was attacked by his jealous brothers who hated him who sold him into slavery to the Egyptians. He ultimately became number 2 in all of Egypt and saved his brothers and father from the famine. Marriages where one operates in a Jezebel spirit will have that person attack the other spouse frequently to steal their peace and come against them and then act like they are the victim when in reality they are the cause of the strife. A parent who is walking in righteousness will often have a child who is not who will do and say things to cause their parent tremendous stress and sadness and try…

JESUS AND PAUL SAID WE MUST JUDGE OTHERS Many people state that we must not judge anyone at all referring back to when Jesus said in Matthew 7:1-2 “Judge not, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you" Jesus was talking about those who were living unrighteously, in unrepentant sin and judging others like the compromised Pharisees….they had pride and religious spirits….they had logs in their own eyes that they needed to remove first before they could accurately judge. Righteous judgement is very good and required. Jesus judged righteously the hearts of people. The Pharisees were angry with Jesus for healing on Shabbat because they called it work and no work should be done on Fridays after sunset - not even healing people miraculously from lifetimes of paralysis or leprosy and doing what was right which they never did. Jesus talked a lot about the need to judge righteously throughout the book of John. So Jesus said we need to judge from a righteous, godly standard. The problem is most Christians are not delivered from demons so they…
