Unmasking the Jezebel Spirit
S**U
Biblical, well-reflected and based on ample experience with Christian leaders
This is not a book about finding evil spirits everywhere nor about providing ammunition for your latest witch-hunt.Rather, the author simply speaks from his own experience, both personal and that of many other Christian leaders he has counseled or worked with.The devil does try to manipulate and control us in order to rob, steal and kill God's calling upon our lives. And, he sometimes gains sufficient influence over someone to use them as proxy for said manipulation and control over us or others.This is the so-called Jezebel spirit: the demonic influence over someone that is strong enough to ensnare others under their influence as well.And, like the Bible story, the Jezebel spirit often works in harmony with an 'Ahab spirit', that is, a demonic influence that weakens its subject and makes him or her compliant to the manipulation of 'Jezebel'.The author shares many real-life stories to illustrate this dynamic and also gives clear, well-balanced and proven suggestions both to detect the presence of these dark influences and to confront and break free from them through the power of Jesus Christ.I recommend this book wholeheartedly!

A must read especially if you are a Pastor's wife
I don't think a lot of people are read to have their eyes open regarding the spirit of Jezebel. I started a very small group meeting of ladies so we can read this book and get educated on this awful spirit that as I write this is tearing down a lot churches and bringing down pastors. Be prayed up and be ready to go under a spiritual attack and battle because this Jezebel spirit does not want to be exposed.This is a must read book especially if you are a Pastor's wife. Be warned: there is a misconception that a Jezebel spirit only operates as a women. Not always. Also keep in mind that a Jezebel spirit needs an Ahab to operate, that is why is spirit goes from churches to churches looking for that Ahab and once it finds it, it will stay there and use it for her/his benefit depending whether the it is a man or woman. It will go into your church and make itself notices by the the head Pastor, this spirit will bring destruction on your intercessors and confusion. It will put the pastor against his wife and leadership and it will spread rumors, lies, deceptions and gossip..the list goes on. Once that ministry is dismantled it will move on to the next. This spirit does not operate by herself it uses witches that will become part of your ministry and their job is to dismantle the intercessors. God's words says: Matthew 17:21 New American Standard Bible"But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."

One of the most important things one can do is to be alert to the people you allow into your life.
This book is profoundly helpful. I wish I had read it years ago.

Pray before reading...
In his preface, author John Paul Jackson warns that reading UNMASKING THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT will cause one to wonder if he/she is a Jezebelite. He is so right. He confesses that even he, in researching for the writing of his book, began to feel suspect himself. Maybe there is a little bit of Jezebel in all of us? Maybe it is a natural phase we go through? Whatever, the book does arouse considerable introspection, especially when we want to be right with God and to avoid all attitudes and practices that could do spiritual harm to others.The scripture that kept running through my mind the whole time I was reading the book is, "If your heart condemns you, God is greater than your heart." (I John 3:20)By the end of the book, the author makes clear all the attributes normally found in one who bears the Jezebel spirit and suggests sound counsel to pastors and others for dealing with such an individual. He even lays out the measures that must be taken to redeem and set free those who are influenced by this spirit.Throughout the book the reader is introduced to real-life scenarios in which Jezebelites have wormed their way into churches and the personal lives of church leaders only to leave them and the churches in a heap of rubble. By the end of the last chapter, one who desires to live a Christlike life knows he/she must deal quickly and forthrightly with devisiveness and seduction.I recommend UNMASKING THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT only to the spiritually mature who take seriously their responsibility before God.Virginia Rogers

Excellent Book to have as a resource and a Weapon against Jezebel!
So many churches are dealing with unfaithful ministerial staff. If you are dealing with a disaster where people on your staff have turned on you or left or have taken other church members with them, then this book is a must read. This spirit is alive and well and works to tear apart the church by enticing anyone they can get a grip on to waver in their faith and in their loyalty to those in authority. We have recently experienced a Children's Pastor operate in this spirit. While she was having lewd, inappropriate conversations with other staff members, her husband (Ahab spirit) worked to undermine the pastorate to take the church. As it has manifested, the husband and wife team in Absalom fashion, resigned and have enticed several other families to leave also. This is a very deceptive spirit in that it lies and has no conscience in regards to what it truth and what is not. We are in the throes of this currently and the Lord has led us to several teachings that have enlightened us greatly to let us know what we are dealing with.
