I'm Finished

I am finished. I had a Revelation last night after revival. I have been so concerned about the possible impact of the Jezebel spirit on my grandparents. The fact that they interact with a person I know to be under "Jezebel's" influence has bothered me greatly. It finally occurred to me that the feeling I was having was FEAR. I hate fear it creeps in when worry opens the door for it and before you know it your afraid. No longer relying on God to take care of the situation in his timing and according to his plan, now you want it now, RIGHT NOW (while throwing your hands and feet up and down). God gave me my answer awhile ago and I have been somewhat content to follow that path but somehow could not completely turn everything over to him. Now I know it was FEAR and fear has been kicked out with the rest of the trash in my life. :)

hey john, this is steph. I think you should really rethink this accusation. You know when you point a finger you have two pointing at you, and one going thru you and pointing at Trudy. Seriously John, read up on Jezebel, also read about Samson. What did this unnamed person do to you to make you think she is under Jezebel's influence? I really need to know. If you decide not to post this please at least have the guts to write me back and answer these questions. I used to think you were a really talented young minister, now I have doubts that have risen from your choices, your attitude, and this accusation. ssporter5@aol.com

First I would like to point out that there was no acusation. That post was about me indentifying a fear in my life and dealing with it once I realized what it was. There is however some great material out there in refrence to demons and the spirit of Jezebel specificly "They Shall Expel Demons" by Derek Prince, "Unmasking The Jezebel Spirit" by John Paul Jackson, and "Confronting Jezebel" by Steve Sampson just name a few. I would also agree with you that nothing takes the place of the Bible and reading first hand of how demonic spirits showed themselves in the word. All these books have been a great help to me in recognizing demonic influences in my life and others as well.

Steph, you sound very ticked off about this. I reread this post because I didn't remember there being an accusation in there. I also didn't remember there being any mention of the gender of the person. This spirit can work through men as well as women. Although women tend to be more apt to be used. So perhaps that is why you think it is a woman because this spirit is named after the queen Jezebel. What does Samson have to do with any of this? And I must say that I don't appreciate your insinuations that PJ is not a talented minister because he has had to deal with fear in his life. And as for attitudes, we all have them and some/much of the time they stink. Our choices are not always the best either, but that dosn't change the fact that God forgives when we repent and still uses us. And the Trudy comment still has me baffled as she was not even mentioned in this post in any way shape or form. And if you are saying that she somehow controls John's perceptions I would have to say that you don't truly know John. He is able to make his own observations and to act on the direction of the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is saying the same thing to Trudy that dosn't mean she is controlling John, the Holy Spirit is working in both of them and confirming in them that they have heard from Him.
