The Jezebel Spirit Is Shameless | Institute of Love


The Jezebel Spirit is an extremely rebellious, stubborn, arrogant, and self-centered demonic spirit. This spirit was also operating in the women of Judah, who controlled their husbands and were burning incense to idols, pouring out liquid offerings to the Queen of Heaven. When confronted by the prophet Jeremiah with their sinful actions, they responded; “We will not listen to your messages from the Lord! We will do whatever we want. We will burn incense and pour out liquid offerings to the Queen of Heaven just as much as we like—just as we, and our ancestors, and our kings and officials have always done in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For in those days we had plenty to eat, and we were well off and had no troubles! But ever since we quit burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and stopped worshiping her with liquid offerings, we have been in great trouble and have been dying from war and famine.” “Besides,” the women added, “do you suppose that we were burning incense and pouring out liquid offerings to the Queen of Heaven, and making cakes marked with her image, without our husbands knowing it and helping us? Of course not!” Jeremiah 44:16-19 NLT  How demeaning and arrogant for these women to disrespectfully talk to a man of God like that. Their husbands were cowardly permitting their wives to take charge over them and allowing them to do evil. God gives modern Jezebels time to repent from their immorality. If they won't, God says; “I will throw her on a bed of suffering, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer greatly unless they repent and turn away from her evil deeds. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches out the thoughts and intentions of every person. And I will give to each of you whatever you deserve.” Revelation 2:22-23 NLT
