DECLARATION

“This is your allotment, that which is due you,” says the

Lord. “I have measured it out especially for you, because
you have forgotten me and put your trust in false gods. 26
I myself will expose you to shame. 27 I am keenly aware of
your adultery and lust, and your abominable idol worship
out in the fields and on the hills .” (Jeremiah 13:25-27)
There are few marriages, families and churches without
conflict caused primarily by the unclean spirits exposed in this
book. Why are there so many marital problems and divorces?
Why do we hear about so much impotence in men? Why are
there so many “female problems” calling for entire wings in
hospitals dedicated to women’s health problems? Why is there
such an increase of homosexuality? Why are more and more
couples living out of wedlock refusing to commit to marriage?
I believe these spirits are the leading cause of these problems.
Let me state at the outset and unequivocally that without
the ministry of deliverance, and by that, I mean the casting out
of demons, there is no possibility of total victory over these
spiritual entities. These entities hide themselves behind genera-
tional behavior patterns, traditions, family, religion, commerce
and good works. Without spiritual eyes to see, it is impossible
to see the depth and width of their activities in individuals,
organizations, churches and governments.

 Jezebel Exposed
Because of the hiddenness or mystery of this area of de-
monic activity, one purpose for this little book is to describe the
manifestation of these spirits and expose the real motivation of
the resulting behavior. My ultimate purpose is to open prison
doors and set captives free of these wicked things.
Jesus came to destroy such evil works. He has commis-
sioned all of His disciples to do the same.
I write this with a heart of compassion for every living soul
influenced, tormented, controlled and bound by these spirits,
whether internally or externally. It is my utmost desire that
the writing herein stirs a desire to break free of such demonic
influence and becomes rhema Word bringing deliverance and
healing to the reader.

DEFINING

“Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and dark-

ness; instead, rebuke and expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11)

DEMONIC DAYS
The last verse in the Old Testament warns us about the key
problem during the last days.
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he
shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart
of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth
with a curse.”
Isaiah speaks of the judgment God sends upon the people
because they refuse to obey Him: “Children oppress my people,
and women rule over them. O my people, can’t you see what
fools your rulers are? They are leading you down a pretty garden
path to destruction” (Isaiah 3:12 NLT).

3
 Jezebel Exposed

God’s Word shows us that the present order accepted for

most of our families, businesses and churches is actually judg-
ment, not liberation. Chronic disobedience spawns the perverted
understanding that evil is good and good is evil (see Isaiah 5:20).
How could this be?
From Genesis on, what happens in the garden of marriage
and family affects every area of our lives.
I wrote about the demonic influences in men that cause them
to abdicate their position as head and priest of the family. These
spirits are complementary to and responsible for permitting
the operation of the unclean spirits exposed herein. I call them
the Ahab type spirits. As in the biblical pattern, God holds the
man responsible for what the woman does. (See my book The
Ahab Spirit.)
I call the oppressive set of symptoms described in this book
the Jezebel personality or Jezebel type spirits. In most situations,
women are the hosts to these entities that challenge and usurp
the authority placed by God in male authority. This group of
spirits causes tremendous problems in the lives of women, the
marriage, the family, the church and even in the business world
but is not limited to exercising itself only through women. Some
men move under the influence of the same demonic power.
Some of the meanings of the name “Jezebel” are: chaste,
not dwelling, intact, untouchable, untouched, unproductive,
non-cohabiting, without husband, virgin, adulterous, base and
licentious. Jesus makes direct reference to this woman in His
message to the church at Thyatira (Revelation 2:18-29). We
find her characteristics in the daughter of Babylonia in Isaiah
47, the fallen Babylon of Revelation 18, the immoral woman of
Proverbs 5 and 7 and the unfaithful wife of Ezekiel 18. Another
name for this spirit is “The Queen of Heaven.”

4
 Jezebel Exposed
Jezebel, who is adulterous and whore-like, is also chaste
and untouchable because she refuses to receive the “seed” or
Word of the Kingdom when ministered through the “husband”
ministries of Ephesians 4:11. The Jezebel personality is very
uncorrectable and unteachable.
We draw understanding about the operation of these spirits
as we read about Ahab and Jezebel in I Kings 21. Ahab was
king of Israel and Jezebel was his wife. Ahab probably married
Jezebel for political reasons. To marry another king’s daughter
could insure help in times of attack by other nations.
Regardless of all he already possessed as king, Ahab began
to desire the vineyard of an Israelite named Naboth. Naboth,
being a man who was obedient to the Law of Moses, would
not sell it to him (I Kings 21:1-3). Naboth was simply obeying
the law of Moses as found in Numbers 36:7:
“None of the inherited land may pass from tribe to tribe,
for the inheritance of every tribe must remain fixed as it
was first allotted.”
Ahab, being a man of disregard for the Word of God and
ruled by lust, pouted about this and developed an attitude that
concerned his wife, Jezebel. Here’s what happened
So Ahab went home angry and sullen because of Naboth’s
answer. The king went to bed with his face to the wall
and refused to eat!
What in the world is the matter?” his wife, Jezebel,
asked him. “What has made you so upset that you are
not eating?”
“I asked Naboth to sell me his vineyard or to trade it,
and he refused!” Ahab told her.
“Are you the king of Israel or not?” Jezebel asked. “Get
up and eat and don’t worry about it. I’ll get you Naboth’s
vineyard!” So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed
them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and other
leaders of the city where Naboth lived (I Kings 21:4-8).

5
 Jezebel Exposed
Jezebel had Naboth murdered.
Whether deliberately or by default, Ahab relinquished his
authority to his wife, and the stage was set for trouble in the
kingdom. Jezebel’s solution caused all kinds of problems for
Ahab and his kingdom.
First of all, God held him responsible for what happened—
not his wife. God sent the prophet, Elijah, to tell Ahab the
consequences.
But the Lord said to Elijah, who was from Tishbe, “Go
down to meet King Ahab, who rules in Samaria. He will
be at Naboth’s vineyard in Jezreel, taking possession of
it. Give him this message: ‘This is what the Lord says:
Isn’t killing Naboth bad enough? Must you rob him, too?
Because you have done this, dogs will lick your blood
outside the city just as they licked the blood of Naboth!’
” (I Kings 21:17-19 NLT)
“So my enemy has found me!” Ahab exclaimed to Elijah.
“Yes,” Elijah answered, “I have come because you have
sold yourself to what is evil in the Lord’s sight The Lord
is going to bring disaster to you and sweep you away. He
will not let a single one of your male descendants, slave or
free alike, survive in Israel! He is going to destroy your
family as he did the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat and
the family of Baasha son of Ahijah, for you have made
him very angry and have led all of Israel into sin. The
Lord has also told me that the dogs of Jezreel will eat the
body of your wife, Jezebel, at the city wall. The members
of your family who die in the city will be eaten by dogs,
and those who die in the field will be eaten by vultures.”
(I Kings 21:20-24 NLT)
Everything came to pass just as Elijah said. Ahab went
into battle and was killed by a random arrow although he had
disquised himself as King of Israel.

6
 Jezebel Exposed
So the king died, and his body was taken to Samaria and
buried there. Then his chariot was washed beside the
pool of Samaria, where the prostitutes bathed, and dogs
came and licked the king’s blood, just as the Lord had
promised (I Kings 22:37-38).
Jezebel’s demise was more horrible. God raised-up Jehu,
as King of Israel and sent him to complete the judgment upon
Ahab’s family.
When Jezebel, the queen mother, heard that Jehu had
come to Jezreel, she painted her eyelids and fixed her
hair and sat at a window. When Jehu entered the gate of
the palace, she shouted at him, “Have you come in peace,
you murderer? You are just like Zimri, who murdered
his master!” Jehu looked up and saw her at the window
and shouted, “Who is on my side?” And two or three
eunuchs looked out at him. “Throw her down!” Jehu
yelled. So they threw her out the window, and some of her
blood spattered against the wall and on the horses. And
Jehu trampled her body under his horses’ hooves. Then
Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Afterward
he said, “Someone go and bury this cursed woman, for
she is the daughter of a king.” But when they went out
to bury her, they found only her skull, her feet, and her
hands. When they returned and told Jehu, he stated,
“This fulfills the message from the Lord, which he spoke
through his servant Elijah from Tishbe: ‘At the plot of
land in Jezreel, dogs will eat Jezebel’s flesh. Her body
will be scattered like dung on the field of Jezreel, so that
no one will be able to recognize her’ ” (II Kings 9:30-37).
The Jezebel solution is not only never right, but also brings
the judgments of God unless there is repentance. The fruit of
disorder in the family is very destructive causing even the death
of children as Jesus warns in Revelation 2:23: “I will strike her
children dead.” This death can be spiritual as well as physical.

DESCRIPTION

O daughter of Babylonia, sit now in darkness and silence.

Never again will you be known as the queen of kingdoms.
6
For I was angry with my chosen people and began their
punishment by letting them fall into your hands. But you,
Babylon, showed them no mercy. You have forced even
the elderly to carry heavy burdens. 7 You thought, ‘I will
reign forever as queen of the world!’ You did not care at
all about my people or think about the consequences of
your actions (Isaiah 47:5-7).

DEVELOPMENT
Disorder breeds more disorder.
The Jezebel spirits find inroads into lives in various ways.
As in the case of all demonic infestations, there are doors of
entry into individuals.
Some parents are so disappointed to have a girl instead of a
boy, they impart a spirit of rejection to their daughter. The little
girl, unconsciously wanting approval, grows up trying to act
like a boy. We call this a tomboy spirit. The little girl discerns

8
 Jezebel Exposed
that Daddy wanted a boy and therefore tries to fulfill that role.
This becomes a strong demonic bondage. Resentment and
jealousy build because of being a girl—wanting to be a man
and not a woman. This opens a door for self-rejection.
Seeing a family pattern of weak men and strong women con-
fuses the understanding of roles in young girls’ pliable minds.
Disorder breeds more disorder. The traits of the Jezebel spirit
manifest in the woman subjected to such disorder and trauma.
There are very young girls demonically gifted with the attributes
of a Jezebel woman. Such little girls are usually flirtatious and
lustful portraying maturity beyond their chronological age. In
some cases, such a child is goaded into the entertainment world
at the cost of losing her childhood.
Rejection, trauma and fear open doors for demonic influ-
ence, but there is no greater opportunity for Satan in a woman’s
life than when she is outside of God’s order. Without Scriptural
covering, she exposes her head (thinking) to angels or spirits
(I Corinthians 11). Out of such disorder and exposure, women
have birthed many false religions.
Not being a natural leader, a woman in such a position must
draw from some power outside herself to accomplish her goals,
although they might even be worthy and godly. She must take
control and dominate to fulfill her mission. The undiscerning
will mistake her effectiveness as being from God when it cannot
be such. Others will note a transformation in this vessel. The
personality shifts from soft to hard; tenderness to toughness;
feminine to masculine. It is subtle and gradual in effect. It is
not a positive miracle.

9
 Jezebel Exposed
DISORDER
It looks like a sensible decision .
When a man abdicates his headship as priest and king there
are always consequences and the results are devastating
When the ordained leader abdicates his responsibility, the
leadership defaults to the woman and she feels forced into head-
ship of the family. Somebody has to be in charge, so it seems
reasonable for the woman to step into position. The exchange
seems even more justifiable if the woman is more skilled or
intelligent than the man.
It looks like a sensible decision, but she has stepped into a
place for which God has not equipped her in body, soul or spirit.
As the weaker vessel (see I Peter 3:7), she must use methods
not approved by God to secure dominance and fulfill the as-
sumed role. Consequently, the pressure begins to build on the
man because he has not fulfilled his God-given responsibility.
He begins to lose self-respect and feel inadequate. All kinds of
problems begin to manifest in his life as well as hers. A man
can abdicate his authority, but not his responsibility.
King Ahab and Queen Jezebel are prime examples of Those
who refuse to follow Godly principles of leadership and sub-
mission as given in God’s Word.

DISPLACEMENT
She decides to take his place .
When the man abdicates his leadership, the woman is left
vulnerable to infestation by demonic spirits, if she decides to
take his place. The demons come to help her succeed in her
efforts to lead. The decision seems so logical and right. What

10
 Jezebel Exposed
should be the strength and activity of the man as head begins
to manifest as strength of the woman. More and more, she does
the things the man should be doing.
Many women decide to take on the responsibility of the man
because of fear and desperation thereby abandoning their trust
in the Heavenly Father. Fear is not of God. As the Scripture
says, “God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love
and a sound mind” (II Timothy 1:7). Fear is a door for demonic
oppression. When the woman opens this door, the enemy comes
in like a flood to oppress her.
The children also suffer because of this displacement. Set-
ting herself up as queen, the mother demands alligance telling
the children they owe their lives to her because of her suffering
with their birth. The children then feel obligated and are con-
trolled through fear of disrespect. Because she feels ownership
of the children, she begins to hide them from the father and his
corrections. “Don’t tell your father about this,” she will say to
the children, which helps form an ungodly, demonic soul-tie
between the mother and the children. Such wickedness uncovers
the children allowing demonic inroads into their lives. Jesus
warns the church at Thyatira that such disorder will bring a
judgment of death upon the children (Revelation 2:23).

DISTRESSING
Disorder and disobedience induce
stress.
Not being empowered of God, the woman is drained of
strength and health. Love wanes. If the woman is successful in
her usurped leadership role (and often she is), what God calls
evil becomes “good” in the thinking of both the man and the
woman. Fear shadows sound thinking and disorder seems to
be ordained of God.

11
 Jezebel Exposed
Disorder and disobedience induce stress, causing the
woman to build resentment. Resentment eventually breeds re-
bellion. Through the loss of respect, a root of bitterness begins
to grow in her or feed one she already has. Hatred develops, not
only for her husband, but also for men in general. She begins
to distrust all authority figures.

DETERMINED
Most feel left without choice .
Some women do not respond with fear; they react with
determination. Some wives simply get tough and become self-
sufficient. Shunning the place of godly submission, they step
out of the role God intended and open the door for demonic
oppression. In comes harshness, toughness and masculine spir-
its. Some women begin to talk, walk and even look masculine
because of demonic infestation. Most feel left without choice
in their toughness because of the abdication of leadership.
Some women have designs for headship. It is a part of their
personality makeup. They desire or lust for headship because
of inherited family spirits. This happens through the transfer of
spirits from the mother, grandmother or aunt in the environment
of a strong matriarchal family. They come by it “naturally,” so
to speak.
Actually the lust for headship in a woman comes from the
Garden of Eden when God said to Eve because of her decep-
tion, “Toward your husband will be your lust, yet he will rule
over you” (from the Schocken Bible Translation).
This lust is better explained by David Pawson in his book,
Leadership is Male. David, who is a Bible scholar and teacher
in England, says about Eve’s punishment in Genesis 3:

12
 Jezebel Exposed
“In relation to her (Eve’s) husband, her ‘desire will be
to’ him, an unusual Hebraism that means an ambition to
control, manipulate, and possess someone (as its occur-
rence in Genesis 4:7 clearly shows). That is, having led
her husband into sin, she must now live with a continuing
urge to subordinate him to her wish and will.”
Jezebel was a Sidonian. A study of the history of Sidon
reveals a long record of women being in rulership. This tells us
that it is possible that Jezebel’s traits were not just something
she picked up from being unruly or insubmissive, but prob-
ably the control and desire to be head had come to her through
inheritance. It “ran” in her family.
In the light of God’s clear Word about the woman’s place
in His order and the “track record” of devastating results, why
would any lady want to be in the role of leadership?

13
 Jezebel Exposed

DEVICES

You felt secure in all your wickedness. ‘No one sees me,’
you said. Your ‘wisdom’ and ‘knowledge’ have caused you
to turn away from me and claim, ‘I am self-sufficient and
not accountable to anyone!” (Isaiah 47:10)
“She boasts, ‘I am queen on my throne. I am no helpless
widow. I will not experience sorrow.” (Revelation 18:7)

DEVIOUS
She may be subtle .
The Jezebel spirits use many devices when manifesting
through individuals.
Here is a typical marriage scenario:
The honeymoon is over. The couple has their first argument.
There are children now and things are not lovey-dovey. The
husband begins to abdicate his headship, if it was ever estab-
lished. Because of his own weaknesses, lack of role models or
ignorance, he is not being the priest, prophet or any such thing.
He may not even be the breadwinner that he ought to be.

14
 Jezebel Exposed
The wife begins to remind him that if he really cared, he
would make more money. She may be subtle, just sigh, and
make the comment that she wished she had this or that, but
of course, they cannot afford it. The man, who already feels
inadequate because of the need for more money, is pressured
to secure what his wife wants. Couples often get deeply into
debt because of this development.

DISSATISFIED
Righteous indignation rises up.
Often the woman determines to go to work because of dis-
satisfaction over her husband’s provision or her misdirected
effort to help. At this crucial point, most couples never think
to come into agreement with God’s Word and look to the Lord
for their provision and deliverance. To the contrary, righteous
indignation rises up to justify the decisions.
Contrary to popular opinion, God has given men a strong
sense of right and wrong. Most men have fought with their
consciences all of their lives, but out of fear, intimidation and
spiritual ignorance they give in to their own dissatisfaction and
“the little woman.” Overriding this endowment and becoming
the man’s conscience, a woman can provoke endless battles
in the male.

DEMANDING
There is no satiating a woman driven
by the Jezebel spirit.
A Jezebel type woman can bring incredible pressures on
the man. By her maneuvers and demands, she forces him to
strike out to prove his own worth and preserve his self-respect.
There is no satiating a woman driven by the Jezebel spirit. Even

15
 Jezebel Exposed

tually, out of disgust, the husband drifts into a life of defeat

and hopelessness because of his wife’s ceaseless demands and
complaints. Out of spiritual ignorance or anger, he may agree
to her going to work in order for her to satisfy her appetites
for the things that he cannot supply. He hopes this will pacify
her. She increasingly assumes control of the finances for the
family. As the discouraged husband retreats from responsibil-
ity, he makes the most tragic abdication of all, that of spiritual
head of the house and family.
Another way these spirits work is to arrange for the hus-
band never to have any rest or relaxation from the demands of
the wife. She works constantly to cause him to feel guilty and
neglectful, although he works hard at making a living. If the
money is sufficient, she constantly whines about the amount
of time spent at work. She comes up with endless projects at
home (many which could be handled by her) to drain him of
all his time and energy. She never heeds what God’s Word says
about the woman in Proverbs 31 who, “Looketh well to her
household and eateth not the bread of idleness.”
If the husband wishes to rest, he is lazy; if he wants to
postpone something because he is weary, then he is deliberately
neglecting the needs of the family. Many women have this pro-
cedure down to a science and keep their husbands constantly
in a turmoil of guilt and weariness, often to cover the fact they
have neglected their own duties at home.

DISGUSTING
Her nagging and accusing make her
disgusting.
Many times a man, in order to escape the emasculating
blows to his ego, may withdraw physically from his wife. She

16
 Jezebel Exposed
strong as it can be. No matter what he does, it is not enough or
not done right. If he attends church, he usually takes a back seat
to his wife’s aggressiveness. As she begins to speak out for the
family in spiritual matters, he becomes more silent.
Many well-meaning wives drive their husbands further
away from spiritual headship by their continued preaching and
nagging about his failures as a Christian.

DEMURE
She may be outwardly sweet and
unassuming.
The Jezebel spirit does not always assume a brash, bossy
and aggressive stance. It is not always openly overbearing or
dominant. There is a more subtle manifestation of this spirit.
Many are deceived by the woman who is outwardly sweet and
unassuming; a picture of demure helplessness and feminine
frailty. Actually, there is a male fist of fierce determination and
rebellion under this velvet glove. She is anything but helpless
and is just as conniving and determined to have her own way
as the openly rebellious female.

DECEIVING
Sickness is used as a tool .
Another ploy of the Jezebel personality is false sickness. By
this she dodges responsibility and gains sympathy. Sickness is
used as a tool to control others who feel obligated to respond to
the needs and requests of the seemingly weaker one. Jezebels
are often hypochondriacs with obsessions about cleanliness.

17
 Jezebel Exposed
Bedroom blackmail and rationing is another form of Jeze-
bel’s strategy. Most men will give into this sort of thing, feeling
they have no choice because of the marriage covenant. Marital
discord of this kind can lead to impotence in the man. Some
marriages breakup over sexual issues. The Jezebel personality
forces the man to rebel and seek satisfaction elsewhere and
some men do just that.
Jezebel manipulates through strong emotions. Storms of
weeping, recrimination or great fits of anger forces the family
under a control spirit. Demons of fear, failure and rejection
plague them. They learn obeying every whim is better than
suffering constant outbursts from Mama. There is a humorous
saying: “When Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.” The
strong mama scenario is often joked about, but the reality of
such a state of affairs is anything but funny.
Another cruel method of control is silence or pouting,
which is hypnotic control or a method of charming. The man
given this treatment must guess what he has done and will feel
obligated to find out how he has offended. This makes the one
exercising the control the center of attention, and the one who
must be mollified.

DISOBEDIENT
She maneuvers to get her own way.
Christian women with the Jezebel personality will often talk
about submission and obedience to their husbands but husband
and children know it is all talk. If she asks her husband for ad-
vice or counsel and he answers what she wants, everything is
fine. If not, a series of maneuvers begin calculated to force him
to change his decision. She does not have the slightest inclina-
tion to submit to his judgment, and her campaign to

18
 Jezebel Exposed

have her own way in the matter will eventually provoke him
to anger. She then meekly points out that she can never talk
to him about anything without his becoming argumentative.
Rather than believe that God will give her husband the
wisdom to guide the family because of his position of authority
and her prayers for him, she sets out to accomplish her own
devious way. The males in the household sense and resent this
constant maneuvering.
There are areas other than the home where the Jezebel
personality spirits work their devices.

DIVERSE
Jezebel branches out.

In Business
This spirit often invades businesses. It was inevitable that
this would happen in a society so structured and controlled by
this kind of influence. A matriarchal society has brought prob-
lems to our homes as well as businesses. Because this influ-
ence draws its power from witchcraft, we find more and more
businesses beginning to utilize ESP, personality tests, mental
telepathy and other forms of sorcery to influence people and
achieve their goals.
Disorder in the church and home has opened the door for
adultery and divorce in the workplace. The constant intimate
contact between male and female in the office, with a secretary
filling the role of a surrogate wife to the frustrated husband,
creates an environment for adultery and is a source of marital
discord and divorce.

19
 Jezebel Exposed
In Church
Joined with religious spirits, the spirits of Jezebel do some
of their most evil work in the church. A powerful Jezebel per-
sonality may control an entire church, dictating every move
the pastor or other spiritual leaders make. Sometimes it is the
pastor’s wife who is the culprit behind the scenes.
These demons may work through a strong controlling man
or woman, usually in a place of leadership. Eventually, in such
situations, the pastor is asked to leave or fired if he does not
submit to pressure of the controlling spirits. The outcome of
these situations is division and wounded sheep.
Often, the Jezebel woman in the church will connive to get
her Ahab husband into a place of leadership or influence. She
will begin to “pump” her husband with the idea that he is as
good as or more qualified than other men who are in leadership.
She will campaign for him to others in the church making the
same suggestions. When—and usually not if—her husband is
given a place of leadership, she achieves her desired influence
through her control of her husband.
Many Jezebel personalities prefer to work behind the scenes
using a “puppet” to work their controlling influence. This char-
acteristic is verified in Isaiah 47:10:
“You felt secure in all your wickedness. ‘No one sees me,’
you said.”
Others prefer the “limelight” and justify their disorder by
pointing to their husband or some board as their covering.
Those who follow such leadership usually justify themselves
with such statements as, “We submit to the anointing, not the
person,” or “She is such a good preacher (or teacher).”
The Scriptures clearly reveal God’s plan for leadership
and authority in the local church. Deacons and elders are to be
the husbands of one wife calling for the leadership in the local
church to be male. There is no indication of wives being co-

20
 Jezebel Exposed
pastors with their husbands, in spite of present teaching to the
contrary. The Jezebel spirit’s influence causes ministers and
teachers to twist and pervert the interpretation of the Word to
allow women to take leadership positions, although the fivefold
ministry (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers)
of Ephesians 4 does not include feminine authority. Such dis-
order causes error and destruction.
The more spiritually active a church becomes, the more
vulnerable it is to the operation of the Jezebel spirits unless
there is strong, discerning and courageous male leadership.
These spirits especially target Bodies of Christ beginning to
expose their activities through the ministry of deliverance and
spiritual warfare.
Persons with the Jezebel control spirits will deceive persons
seeking God’s will by the use of carnal prophecy. These spirits
seek to beguile people to a person or a particular teaching rather
than center on Jesus Christ. This is what Jesus meant when He
warned the church at Thyatira about “that woman Jezebel”
who was teaching and seducing the people in the church (see
Revelation 2:18-29).
This group of spirits seeks to influence weaker souls by the
use of counterfeit spiritual gifts, enchanting them to agree with
them and their causes. They promote the idea that they are the
spiritual ones, although God’s Word declares that the one who
speaks for himself seeks his own glory.
What passes for word of knowledge and word of wisdom
can be charismatic fortune telling. Prophecy can become a
strong spiritual curse and powerfully controlling when con-
taminated by these unclean spirits. The effects of unsuspecting
practices of witchcraft like this are just as disastrous as open
contact with the occult.

21
 Jezebel Exposed
Confusion, suicide, spiritual blindness, loss of children and
broken homes are a few of the fruits of this group of spirits.
Charismatic witchcraft from the influence of Jezebel spirits is
devastating and deadly, but is often undiscerned because of the
appearance of the vessel it inhabits.
Wherever God’s order of authority is not known or ignored,
the spirit of Jezebel finds a place. It will take precedence when
God’s appointed leadership abdicates its role or fails to con-
front. Once it finds a place, fear keeps most of the displaced
authorities from challenging its infringement.
Most husbands (if not all) have real fear of their Jezebel
wives, even though this fear is irrational and usually denied.
Many men deal with this spiritual influence by cracking jokes
about “the old lady” or “the boss”. Some even call their wives
“mother” in deference to her power of control and their sense
of weakness.

In men
As we have said, men can be infected by these Queen of
Heaven spirits also. Men who have Jezebel spirits are strong
controllers with all of the same behaviors of the Jezebel woman.

DEADLY
The spirit of death moves in .
Death, circumstances, the economy, war, famine—nothing
can change the fact that the Head of every woman is man—no
more than they can change the fact that God is the Head of
Christ. When we tamper with God’s structure of authority, we
expose the women and children to satanic attack. This is the
primary reason we are having so much trouble in our families
today.

22
 Jezebel Exposed

I cannot emphasize enough the importance and power of

God’s order in all relationships. Godly order is like a protec-
tive, impenetrable shield deflecting the fiery darts of the devil.
Without this barrier, the spirit of death moves in like a gray
mist bringing death to the children, death to respect, death to
peace, death to provision, death to fruitfulness and death to
love. Such an atmosphere breeds strife, problems, breakdowns,
disease and sickness.
God’s order is simple and clear: the Authority of Christ is
God; the Authority of man is Christ; the authority of woman
is man (I Corinthians 11:3).
Regardless of the circumstances or imagined consequences,
women who are operating in the power of these spirits must let
go of the control, submit and acknowledge God’s order.

DENYING
You don’t understand my situation .
Some say: ‘’But you do not know my situation.” With every
situation, God makes a way of deliverance for those who will
seek it (I Corinthians 10:13). There are certainly times when
obedience to God’s Word causes suffering to the flesh, but the
rewards are the peaceable fruits of righteousness (Hebrews
12:11).
We have NO EXCUSE for not obeying and walking in the
Word of God. There is no rationalization to justify disobedi-
ence. We need only to study the sad story of King Saul to see
the consequences of rebellion.
Isaiah 3 and 4 warn sternly of judgment that will fall upon
those resisting the establishment of God’s order. God says He
will make the rebellious women bald by having their hair fall
out (Isaiah 3:23). This is surely a reference to the epidemic

23
 Jezebel Exposed
proportion of female cancer and chemotherapy that results in
baldness. God also says He will have their secret parts uncov-
ered (Isaiah 3:17) which probably refers to the commonality
of vaginal examinations by doctors and the increase of young
women exposing their nudity in men’s clubs and on the Internet.
In Isaiah 3:34 the prophet speaks of a stench and burning
where there had been perfume. This is a striking resemblance
of some common symptoms of cancer.
Isaiah 4:1-2 speaks of a time when women will repent and
seek the path of Scriptural submission only to find a shortage
of men. Like the female spider, the Jezebel spirit devours the
males who seek to appease her. No wonder the life-span of a
man is shorter than the woman’s.
The curses that have come upon our families can be broken.
The spirits of control, dominance, manipulation and all of the
wicked things that go on in the home can be defeated and cast
out. We must see that these things are wickedness to God; they
are evil in His sight. He wants us to obey and walk in His Word
so He can bless and prosper us.

DELIVERANCE

“But you, O heaven, rejoice over her fate. And you also
rejoice, O holy people of God and apostles and prophets!
For at last God has judged her on your behalf.” (Revela-
tion 18:20)

DECIDING
Anyone can break free .
Some need deliverance from being controlled by the Je-
zebel spirits through another person. If this is your situation,
you will find the steps for this deliverance in the concluding
chapter of this book.
Our main concern is for those being controlled by the
Jezebel spirits from within. Sad to say, some in this state will
never read this far. Due to deep wounds of rejection and erro-
neous teaching, the Jezebel type demons are able to entrench
themselves beyond discernment to the host.

25
 Jezebel Exposed
It must be understood that one cannot blame demons for
their sin. God’s Word shows us that two (the individual and the
demons) cannot walk together unless they are in some kind of
agreement (Amos 3:3).
The good news is anyone can be freed of the influence of
the wicked spirits of the Jezebel personality. The real question
is whether that person truly wants to be delivered and changed.
The resistance and retaliation of the enemy requires tena-
cious commitment. The series of battles needed to win this war
call for strong endurance by everyone involved.
At this point, I want to be honest in reporting that in my
experience few are truly willing to do what it takes to come out
of this pattern of behavior. Some submit to ministry for a while,
then “bailout” into a field of deception telling everyone they
are free. Some of these even begin to teach about the Jezebel
spirit as a cover for their failure.
In the case of wives with Ahab husbands, remember: God
addresses the woman first in regards to the marriage situation
(Ephesians 5:22). The power of influence of a submitted woman
is ordained by God and very effective.
We can confidently tell you from the promise of God’s Word
and experience: anyone who wants to be free, can get free.

ESSENTIAL STEPS FOR DELIVERANCE

ADMISSION
The first step toward freedom is to admit a wrong attitude
toward authority, especially godly authority. God places author-
ity in every individual’s life. Identify and embrace what God
has given you.

26
 Jezebel Exposed
The second admission is rebellion toward God’s Word. To
practice such behavior is unscriptural and ungodly.
The third admission needed is the source of the problem.
Did this personality develop in you because of some kind of
abuse? Is it ancestral? Was your parent or grandparent like this?
Did you get this way because of fear? Did someone abdicate
their authority leaving you unprotected? Ask the Holy Spirit to
show you the source and door for this infestation in your life.
Be willing to honestly look at where you are—what brought
you to this point—and break-out of agreement with the demonic
entities that have come into your life to help you be like you are.

CONFESSION
Confession is not only good for the soul; it is the way to
forgiveness and cleansing of sin (I John 1:9). A life-style of
being controlled by Jezebel spirits is sinful, regardless of the
circumstances. It is abusive in every way. There is no justifica-
tion for it. Seek out godly, understanding counsel. Truly and
sincerely admit you have been wrong and submit to ministry.

REPENTANCE/RENUNCIATION
Renounce the evil work of practicing unsuspecting witch-
craft or the dominating of spouse, children, employer, friends
or some group. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you specifically
what you have been doing through the influence of the Jezebel
spirits. Repent of such activity, which means to stop doing it
and seek a new life-style in Christ.

27
 Jezebel Exposed
RELEASE
Break the ungodly soul-ties with and release to the will
of the Father in Heaven those you have been controlling and
influencing. This is for their sake as well as yours.
All children belong to God and God alone. He gives them
life and commissions the parents, guardians or mentors (both
in the family and church) as stewards for their well-being.

SEEK MINISTRY
First, and foremost, you need deliverance from the unclean
spirits that have been exercising this personality in you . As
you confess and repent, the demons will be weakened and more
readily cast out.
You will certainly need healing from the damage done to
yourself by the work of the demons. The mind and emotions
are greatly affected and damaged by these things. Eventually,
physical problems develop as these unclean spirits work their
destruction. Jesus speaks of such judgments in His warning
to the church at Thyatira, where He says He will “throw her
(Jezebel) upon a sickbed and she will suffer greatly” (Revela-
tion 2:22).

SUBMIT
Make a decision by an act of your will to submit to the au-
thority God has placed in your life. The primary authority is His
Word. Just do what it says without trying to let someone twist or
distort its meaning. Wives submit to your own husbands; heed
the counsel of the elders in your church; submit to your boss;
obey the government; follow the counsel of the Holy Spirit in
all matters. The Scriptures show us the power of submission.
Jesus is our prime example.

28
 Jezebel Exposed
Ask those around you to tell you when you begin to follow
old patterns of behavior. Some may abuse this privilege, but
forgive them and choose humility rather than pride.

CHANGE YOUR LIFE-STYLE

The Scriptures are especially clear about the life-style of
a godly wife.
“In the same way, you wives must accept the authority
of your husbands, even those who refuse to accept the
Good News. Your godly lives will speak to them better
than any words. They will be won over by watching your
pure, godly behavior. Don’t be concerned about the out-
ward beauty that depends on fancy hairstyles, expensive
jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should be known for
the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty
of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
That is the way the holy women of old made themselves
beautiful. They trusted God and accepted the authority of
their husbands. For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband,
Abraham, when she called him her master. You are her
daughters when you do what is right without fear of what
your husbands might do” (I Peter 3:1-6 NLT).
The principles presented here can be applied beyond the
marriage relationship.
Sarah is the chief model for all women of God. Although her
husband, Abraham, put her in serious jeopardy by lying about
their relationship, God protected and honored her because of
her attitude of submission. Her godly attitude caused her hus-
band to be mightily blessed financially when King Abimelech
sought to compensate for his error.
Ask the Lord to show and confirm your true giftings. Many
times the Jezebel spirits will deceive their hosts about their
true giftings and callings. In the church setting, many Jezebels

29
 Jezebel Exposed
(both men and women) believe themselves to be prophets or
prophetesses when, in reality, they have succumbed to a spirit
of divination. Some believe they have a healing ministry, but
their true gifting is compassion.
Demons deceive through flattery, appealing to the lusts
and rejection in their hosts. To break out of such self deception
requires brokenness, humility and an overwhelming desire for
the perfect will of God. Victory will call for courage, tenacity
and trust, but it will be worth it!

ance.

A DELIVERANCE PRAYER
The power is in the tongue .
Father in heaven, I come before you in the name of Jesus
Christ Your Son and my Savior. I truly believe You are my
Father and that You love me greatly.
I come admitting my need for deliverance and healing as
only You, through the Holy Spirit, can give.
Father, I admit my wrong attitude toward the authority You
have placed in my life. I confess that I have rebelled against
Your Word through my behavior. Please, show me how my
need to control and manipulate others came into my life that I
may close the door to this forever.
I choose now to forgive everyone who has ever hurt or
abused me in any way. I do now forgive the following people
by name _________________ .
I confess my life-style has been sinful and abusive and ask
Your forgiveness and cleansing. I humble myself before You
and offer no excuses or self-justifications.

30
 Jezebel Exposed

I renounce the evil work of all witchcraft control, domina-

tion and manipulation and turn away from all such activity in
my life.
I choose to break all ungodly soul-ties with those I have
sought to control, dominate or manipulate. In the Name of Jesus
Christ, my Lord, I break the ungodly soul-ties with and release
the following people by name: __________________ .
Father, lead me to the ministry that You, and You alone, want
me to receive. I confess my need for help from others, maybe
even those who I have not liked or loved. I ask for deliverance
and healing that only You can give.
By an act of my will, I submit to all authority You have
placed in my life. I trust my submission and obedience to Your
Word to keep me, protect me and bless me.
Open my eyes, Heavenly Father, to truly and clearly see
Your Word and grant me the strength of will to walk in it.
In the Name of Jesus Christ and through the power of His
shed blood I bind the strong man of Jezebel, Queen of Heaven,
and command her and all associated unclean spirits to leave
me. I break and loose myself from all agreement with these
demons and call on You, Lord Jesus, to set me completely free.
Thank you, Lord
Praise You, for hearing me and answering my call according
to Your Word in Joel 2:32 which says whosoever calls upon the
name of the Lord will be delivered .
I believe it and receive it!
Amen!

DEPARTURE

“So run from all these evil things, and follow what is
right and good. Pursue a godly life, along with faith, love,
perseverance, and gentleness.” (I Timothy 6:11)

GET OUT OF THE DEMONS

Deliverance comes from more than casting out the demons.
Life-style patterns and habits of conduct must be broken. Not
only must we get the demons out of ourselves, but we must
also get out of the demons.
Demons find inroads and legal holds through other avenues
in one’s environment. Family heirlooms, personal gifts, pho-
tographs and other ancestral objects can invite familiar spirits
of the deceased.
The Jezebel personality likes to give gifts, but the gift
always has a “hook” of obligation and control. Sometimes it
requires a vow to be received. “Promise me you will always re

32
 Jezebel Exposed
member me by this,” or “Promise me you will always keep this
in the family.” Regardless, the object projects a presence and
reminder. The control continues in the mind of the living soul.
The Jezebel personality always shows favoritism. There will
be one child, nephew, niece or grandchild that is the pick. This
one will be given special gifts and shown more attention than
the others in the family. This one is also the chosen vessel for
carrying on the witchcraft and control in the family. (Demons
leave bodies when they die and seek to enter another family
member to manifest their particular traits. They are called
“familiar spirits”.)
If you are being seduced and groomed by a Jezebel spirit,
you should put a stop to the sorcery immediately. This group of
spirits will feed on your lusts and manipulate you with promises
and flattery. The carnal reward is never worth the fruit of the
spiritual torment.
When you begin to break free from these spirits’ influences,
you can expect angry and harsh reactions. Physical distance
makes no difference in the spiritual realm. These spirits can
control from afar and know from afar. You can expect threats
of retaliation through phone calls and other means of com-
munication.
No one can be controlled unless they
allow themselves to be controlled.
You must realize and admit that allowing another to control
or manipulate your life is a form of idolatry. The controlling
person becomes like a lord in your life. Often it is difficult to
let go because of the favors and benefits given by the controller.
Nonetheless, you must put God’s Word and will first and chose
to break free regardless of the consequences.

REVISE your relationships and life-styles.

RESPOND with thanksgiving to the Lord.

REJOICE in your new found freedom.

REALIZE that:

DELIVERANCE IS A LIFE-STYLE NOT AN EVENT!

SO LIVE IN JESUS CHRIST!
