Excerpts of article by Amanda Buys:

Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

So, here we see, that the war we are fighting is not against men and women, but it is against principalities, against powers, and against the rulers of the darkness. It was now about 12 years ago, that someone shared with me, that she had heard of a minister that said he would never counsel or minister to anyone, unless, he first broke the three legs of Satan. And he described it as Satan at the top, with Jezebel beneath it, with anti-Christ off to the one side of it and death and hell off to the other.

2 Corinthians 2:10-11 “Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, 11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.”

and

JEZEBEL IS NOT A SPIRIT. IT IS A WORLD PRINCIPALITY AND A WORLD POWER! And we will see that, when we study Jezebel in more detail. So, I want to say that Jezebel is a world principality and a world power. Jezebel can be summarized in one word------WITCHCRAFT! Witchcraft is the one word that describes a Jezebel principality. I want you to see in Revelations 2:20 "Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.”

God was speaking to the Church and He addressed Jezebel WITHIN THE CHURCH!  And this principality often works through religious or Godly people because it is so subtle….it is so sly ….that it can very, very easily affect the Body.

Counsellor:

Jezebel’s name means: ‘unexalted; without cohabitation.

Her Aim and Characteristics:

Driven from inside by: perversion, rebellion, pride, arrogance, haughtiness, sorcery

and witchcraft, etc.  Everything is done to satisfy SELF in every area: materialistic and in the physical  (flesh).  Also un-teachable, independent, arrogant, etc.  It can manifest through women, as well as through men. When it manifests through men. Hard-headedness - “I will do as I please!”

Wants to destroy and remove the true prophets of God (1 Kings 18:3-4).

Resists the working of the Holy Spirit.  Always attempts to destroy and break down God-ordained leadership, and to satisfy SELF.

Abuses authority and leadership-positions (e.g. in the family, church, works, etc)

Always attempts to infiltrate leadership.

Instigates fear (e.g. in work-situation, children, marriage, relationships, etc.)

Goes hand in hand with idolatry and witchcraft, which were part and parcel of the life of queen Jezebel (2 Kings 9:22).

Draws forth the Ahab-spirit in others. (The Ahab-spirit ‘sulks’ because he cannot have his way, becomes depressed and angry. Refuses to speak and tries thus to manipulate others).

It reacts in the flesh (e.g. threats, “tantrums”, etc.).

Manipulates people on emotional level, trying to get them to do what Jezebel wants.

Takes cover behind religious works.

Lies and cheats.

Distorts the meaning of peoples’ words.

When Jezebel gets control, e.g. in a church, such a body or organization can get destroyed.

· It starts manifesting in the flesh, with rigid laws.

· The flow of the Spirit gets hindered and obstructed.

· Disobedience replaces obedience.

· Works of the flesh replace inspiration by the Holy Spirit.

· It comes under the curse of the law.

Modus Operandi Of A False Religion

A strong mother figure son will have a “false self” it will manifest in recklessness or

revolution or breaking away.

A strong, dominant mother/grandmother and passive father produces double-minded children/grandchildren.

On these grounds, I want to ask You today that You will cleanse these hands of mine from all of these sins, even those sins I haven't realized yet. Please cleanse my heart also, Father!

I also stand before You and petition for every soul and the redemption of every other person whom I have ever polluted with my behavior. I humbly ask for forgiveness, for the fact that I have been a stumbling block for them, and I pray that You will remove this foul mantle I have worn up to now - and clothe me with new clothes, fragranced with Your love and acceptance.

I ask forgiveness for the fact that I drank from the cup of Jezebel and that I have allowed the following to control me:

1. Occult spirits

2. Compromise (idolatry) through ignoring Your discipline and not having

respect for You.

3. Immorality and idolatry.

4. Domination, intimidation and manipulation.

5. False religion.

I now ask You to free and redeem me from these 5 cords with which this spirit of Jezebel has controlled me for so long, in the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Thank You for complete redemption through the Name and the Blood of

Jesus, through the Sword of Your Word and the word of my testimony:

Rev. 12:11 -"And they have overcome him by means of the Blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony."

I also pray, Holy Spirit, that You will lead me on this new road and that You will help me in this process of renewing of the mind in all of these areas. I pray that You will take hold now of all the branching and infiltration and working of the Jezebel spirit in all parts of my body and soul, and pull it out of me until nothing remains!

Counsellor:

It is written in:  2 Sam. 22:32-37: "For Who is God but the Lord? And Who is a Rock except our God? God is my strong Fortress; He guides the blameless in His way and sets him free. He makes my feet like the hinds'; He sets me secure and confident upon the heights. He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; and Your condescension and gentleness have made me great. You have enlarged my steps under me, so that my feet have not slipped."

I now take the Sword of the Spirit and I sever this cord of domination, intimidation and manipulation, in the Almighty Name of Jesus! It is written in:

John 10:2-5 - "But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The

watchman opens the door for this man, and the sheep listen to his voice and heed it;

and he calls his own sheep by name and brings them out. When he has brought his

own sheep outside, he walks on before them, and the sheep follow him because they

know his voice. They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him because

they do not know the voice of strangers or recognize their call.".

Counsellee:

Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ Your Son, I now declare:

        1) a divorce with the spirit of Jezebel

        2) a cancellation of all worship she ever received through me, my

            ancestors or descendants

        3) nullification of any and every covenant ever made with her

        4) renunciation of the Ahab spirit

In the authority of the Name of Jesus Christ, I now take this seat in myself and hand it over to the Kingdom of God. Father, in Jesus Name I ask that You will remove the following curses and results due to my ancestors' and my own involvement with this Jezebel spirit's activities:

    1. Curse of a bed of anguish and suffering

    2. Downheartedness

    3. Curse of the utmost judgment

    4. Curse of death (Rev.2:22,23)

    5. Curse of humiliation and nakedness

    6. Curse of slavery

    7. Curse of senility

    8. Curse of homosexuality and lesbianism

    9. Curse of cancer

   10. Schizophrenia

   11. Curse of divorce

   12. Curse of female domination

   13. Curse of male domination

   14. Incest

   15. Blasphemy

   16. Curse of loss of children

   17. Loss of marriage partner

   18. Curse of disasters and evil

   20. Curse of witchcraft

   21. Curse of persecution.

I pray that You will change each one of these curses to blessings in my ancestor's, my own, and my descendant's lives, in the Name of Jesus.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, I now bind and rebuke the spirit of Jezebel from my life.

I speak destruction over the altars where the spirit of Jezebel received worship in my life, and I erect an altar there for God. It is written:

"David built there an altar to the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord heeded the prayers for the land, and Israel's plague was stayed." 2 Sam.22:25.

The stronghold in my life where Jezebel has lived, is now destroyed and a throne for Christ Jesus erected there. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I now speak withering and death over all fruits of manipulation through the spirit of witchcraft in my life.

I pray that You will remove all leaven that caused me to walk under the control of this spirit, from my habits of thinking, my will, emotions and body.

Father, in Jesus Precious Name, I pray that the spirit of Elijah will rise up within me to expose the spirit of Jezebel in the Body of Christ. I pray Father, that the hearts of the fathers will be turned towards the children according to Malachi 4:5,6. I pray that the disobedient will be turned towards the wisdom of the righteous - that You will enable me to outwork Godly principles to handle problems in my life.

I pray that more and more spiritual fathers and mothers will come forth out of our midst to show the way and to take Your children by the hand and to lead them on paths of righteousness. I pray Father, that You will see to it that, through Your Spirit, I will be prepared as part of Your Bride without spot or wrinkle.

Thank You, Abba Father, for Your great mercy and grace. Please seal this prayer now with the precious Blood of Jesus Christ and thank You that You have heard me and that You free me!

AMEN.
