Edwin Ogenio – STOP HOPE AND PRAYER FOR JEZEBEL!
Almost on a daily basis, Edwin and I encounter people who have their own story to tell of having been in contact with the spirit of Jezebel in various ways. There is one concern that keeps coming to my mind, when it comes to effectively breaking the relationship with the person they know, who is possessed by the Jezebel spirit who has caused suffering, and horrible consequences in their lives. What worries me the most is many Christians expressed desire for that person to repent and be delivered.I believe we have to understand, that what the Bible speaks of as the outcome for a person who possesses the Jezebel spirit is death (2. Kings 9:33), and the other is sickbed (Rev. 2:22). Contrary to what we hope and believe, Jesus says in Revelations 2:21 NLT that: “I gave her time to repent, but she would not turn away from her immorality.” As far as we are concerned, we have never encountered anyone who has been possessed by this demonic spirit of Jezebel who has been delivered. One thing is to have character traits similar to Jezebel. Another is to be a full-blown operating, possessed, surrendered host of the Jezebel spirit on assignment from hell to destroy Godly activities. Do not be condemned if you have experienced controlling behavior in your own life, but arrest it immediately and make sure to get prayer and deliverance so it doesn’t take root in your life.
Because the vicious, manipulating and controlling Jezebel spirit is so strong in creating SYMPATHY with people, we believe the best thing to do is to cut all contact, as many people have done. However, many times we don’t realize to what degree we actually have to cut contact, in order to be completely, mentally and spiritually free from this spirit that continues to linger and cause damage.
The problem with so many people who have been bitten by the Jezebel spirit is that they continue to believe in the restoration of this person. Out of a good heart, they continue to HOPE and PRAY for this person to come to repentance. This, we believe, is exactly what the Jezebel spirit is working towards; to manipulate through sympathy, to keep the person in control and bondage, even after the relationship is broken.
Therefore, we believe the best thing is to totally and complete let go of even hoping and praying for the person, and completely give them back into God’s hands and God’s control, forever, and never go back there in your mind!! Whatever happens to them after this point of release IS NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! But in many cases, we are still led by guilt and obligation to pray for this person! Beware of thinking that you may also have contributed somehow and therefore feel guilty and intimidated. Guilt is a tremendous tool in the devils hands to keep you hooked, keep you feeling somehow spiritually responsible to “save” these people. This merciful and loving act of praying and hoping for them, actually gives the Jezebel spirit an open door for continued influence in our lives.
We pray for continued revelation to expose the Jezebel, as it is a war that we have to be warriors to win. For those who have the specific calling to war against Jezebel, the next step in battling her is to attack and eradicate that spirit, in order to put a complete stop to her evil ways. These are warriors like King Jehu, and present time Kings, such as men and women anointed with the mantel of leadership who will not allow the spirit of Jezebel to continue in the church. See 2. Kings 9:30-37. Remember the Jezebel spirit is out to destroy the prophets of God and any prophetic voice and utterance on the face of the earth.
When it comes to the spirit of Jezebel we have to have a complete mind make-over, and realize that our usual nice prayers from the goodness of our hearts are NOT the way to combat Jezebel in our lives. It takes a radical warrior attitude, which I believe we WILL get, as the Lord Jesus Christ leads us into greater revelation on how to effectively combat this spirit in these end times.
May you be blessed and full of strength in Jesus Christ!
With love,
Sincerely,
Edwin Ogenio
