Calling All Esther(s) 9: How to Throw Jezebel Out the Window

 This is another excerpt from my upcoming book.

How to Throw Jezebel out the Window

 An obvious sign of an Antichrist spirit in our midst is the presence of the Jezebel spirit. This is another spirit that adds to the perversion of Antichrist. The spirit od Jezebel seeks to lure believers into spiritual fornication, through seduction, and lies about the Word of God that are words mixed with divination. 

There are some characteristics that help us identify the influence of this spirit in a person and the different levels of its influence in a man or a woman, but here I am referring to it as a woman due to the way she is shown in Scripture.

Other characteristics of the Manifestation of the Jezebel spirit: 

- she is disobedient and cunning,

- selfish, greedy, and proud,

-controlling and manipulative,

-demanding of her own way,

-pouty (emotional also to manipulate),

-slanderer and a liar,

-focuses on the past with unforgiveness, bitterness, and resentment,

-seducing and sexually promiscuous (in the spirit she worships other gods/idols),

-thief and usurper,

-seeks to multiply her perversion in others by spreading her lies and through promiscuity,

-feminist, feels superiority over men (in women),

-advocates for male supremacy over women (in men),

-seeks to take positions of authority without paying the price to reach those levels.

There is one way to stop Jezebel’s perversion in our lives and pass on to our children the awareness of what will keep her influence out of our homes. In the natural, engaging in sexual activity only when married to the sexual partner is essential, also avoiding the company of people that could lure us and our children to sexual immorality. In the spiritual, this happens by starting and maintaining a disciplined intimate walk with God as a result of living by every word that comes out of His mouth, and pursuing the truth of the gospel of the Kingdom through the reading of the Word, prayer, fasting, worship, spending times in consecration, and keeping friendships with people of the same heart and purity after God.

Obedience to God's Word and every command given to us personally is also very important because lack of obedience means rebellion and that is a sure way to get ensnared by the enemy into the wrong paths that could derail us from our destiny just like it happened to King Saul and others that were removed from their positions of authority. 

Obedience is of chief importance all the way to the end of the process God takes us to remove the influence of the Anticrist/spirit of the world, until we become sent ones that can reach our destinies where we will multiply the blessing of spreading the knowledge of God and the Gospel of His Kingdom with sexual purity (free from the influence of Jezebel), financial purity (free from the influence of mammon), and with steadfast obedience and dependence on God (free from the influence of religion). This way, we can be counted among the true worshipers who worship the Father in Spirit and in truth.

2 Kings 9:32-33 says, ³² And he looked up at the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” So two or three eunuchs looked out at him. ³³ Then he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot.

When we become spiritual eunuchs, then we will be able to overthrow the spirit of Jezebel from our lives as well as the other forms of the Antichrist spirit (such as religion and mammon). We become eunuchs in the spirit by staying faithful to God and serving Him only, by focusing on the things that advance and expand the Kingdom of God and His plan and purpose for our lives by the leading of His Spirit, instead of focusing on the cares of this world because that is how the enemy steals the blessings from us and attempts to derail us. This happens because through the cares of the world he distracts us or causes us to worry to the point of seeking relieve from our circumstances in our own way and time. That is how we accept an independent spirit that is rebellious even if the things done are done in the name of God.

In the natural, we become eunuchs by, as mentioned before, abstaining from sexual immorality outside of marriage and instead have genuine and constant intimacy with God by His Spirit. We must also wait to be sexually active only when God releases us to be married and the marriage ceremony has taken place. Then we can consummate the union with sexual intimacy. Because God instituted marriage for the procreation of the next generations that will be trained to advance His Kingdom with dominion and power from on high, anything less than that procreates for the enemy things that could hurt us, and would hinder our advance. 

Another way to escape from Jezebel’s temptation as well as the enticing of religion and mammon is to remain faithful to God and to His process for us by not taking on assignments outside from His mandate and plan for our calling in order to fulfill our own needs. We want to acknowledge the Lord in all our ways so He can order our steps, instead. We need to do this, not only when we are going through the wilderness of testing, but also when we have arrived at our destiny in Him (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Matthew 19:12 also says, For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb and there were some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

A powerful example of a eunuch lifestyle that helps us advance the Kingdom of God is found in Genesis chapter 39 with Joseph. After his brothers had sold him to a slave driver because of their jealousy, Joseph ended up in Egypt and was sold to Potifhar, an officer of Pharaoh. The chapter points out that Potifhar’s house and his fields were blessed because of the presence of Joseph in their midst. Furthermore, because Joseph was well built and handsome, not only that, but he was also due for a promotion, Potiphar’s wife, who was influenced by the Jezebel spirit, made repeated advances to seduce him. 

These seducing advances he also continued to turn down and even avoided to be around her. Until one day, he found himself in the house with Potiphar’s wife alone. Something she had plotted because the Jezebel spirit does not like to take no for an answer, and charged at him to have sexual relations with him. Joseph responded by running away from her, but left his coat behind in her hands. Potiphar’s wife used that as an excuse to accuse Joseph of wanting to violate her and have sexual relations with her. Something her husband and his employees in the house believed and landed Joseph in prison. 

But this was a promotion for Joseph for his faithfulness to God and steadfastness to fulfill his calling with purity and obedience. Although this looked like anything but a promotion, Joseph was being trusted with more, and was made the head of the entire prison with success because the Lord was with him. The next phase for Joseph in the next chapters was to interpret by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the dreams of the baker and the butler, and later he was able to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams which granted him the next promotion to become second in command in Egypt after Pharaoh.

Joseph focused his lifestyle and endeavors to fulfill God's plan and purpose for his life, and chose to stay away from anything that would detour, derail, or distract him from following God's prescription for him. So too we must live our lives allowing God's agenda to become our agenda, His strategies to become our strategies, and His plans to become our plans. This makes us people after God's own heart that He can use to fulfill His plans and purpose or these end times. 
To God alone be all the glory.∎
