From the desk of Steve Shultz:
When James Goll speaks, I listen...and that's all there is to it!
We've been receiving more sobering words lately...and there's a reason for it. God is anointing and equipping the saints to stand against the darkness in our day.
Dr. James Goll is one who knows very clearly the times and seasons we are in...and I so appreciate his heavenly insight!
James opens with:
For every problem God has a hope solution. Even in our Last Days Battle with the Jezebel spirit, the Holy Spirit is ready to anoint godly leaders and consecrated Believers with His grace and power to overthrow and displace every spirit of wickedness in Jesus name! Remember, every mess is an opportunity for God's next miracle. So let it be in our day and in our families, cities and nations.

"3 Keys to Overcoming the Jezebel Spirit"
James W. Goll, Franklin, TN
For every problem God has a hope solution. Even in our Last Days Battle with the Jezebel spirit, the Holy Spirit is ready to anoint godly leaders and consecrated Believers with His grace and power to overthrow and displace every spirit of wickedness in Jesus name!

Major Characteristics of the Jezebel Spirit
The following is a brief review of 10 significant characteristics of the Jezebel spirit to lay a foundation on which to build. In Scripture, 1 Kings 17-19 gives the primary historical setting of Queen Jezebel's reign in Israel and her demonic schemes to control everyone in her sphere of influence.
1. Jezebel's ultimate goal is always control.
2. The Jezebel spirit attacks, dominates or manipulates those in authority.
3. The Jezebel influence causes fear, flight and discouragement.
4. People under Jezebel's influence tend to be natural leaders, although often operating covertly.
5. People under Jezebel's influence are often insecure and wounded.
6. The Jezebel Spirit functions subtlety and deceptively.
7. This dark Jezebel spirit promotes pride, independence and rebellion.
8. The abdication of an Ahab empowers a Jezebel spirit to operate.
9. Jezebel is usually in alignment with a religious spirit.
10. The families of people under Jezebel's influence are often dysfunctional and out of order.
The Problem: King Ahab and His Passive Nature
Lessons from 1 Kings 19:1-2:
| "The spirit of Elijah brings restoration where evil has temporarily spread division and strife." |
"Now Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, 'So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.'"
The abdicating nature of Ahab empowers Jezebel. She resists and opposes true godly authority and desires to control and exercise power over everyone. She sets herself up against the "Elijahs" in particular. The "Elijah spirit" of the end times will stir up and expose both the passivity of Ahab and the control of Jezebel.
Lessons from 1 Kings 21:8-10:
"So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal, and sent letters to the elders and to the nobles who were living with Naboth in his city. Now she wrote in the letters, saying, 'Proclaim a fast and seat Naboth at the head of the people; and seat two worthless men before him, and let them testify against him, saying, "You cursed God and the king." Then take him out and stone him to death.'"
Jezebel usurps her husband's or her leader's authority and often acts in their name. She manipulates and controls leadership and attempts to fill the Ahab vacuum with power plays, lies and even religious works. She uses the vacated platform of Ahab to accuse others of what she has done.
