Moses said to Yahweh, 'Behold, you tell me, 'Bring up this people:' and you haven't let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.' Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may... -
A Scattered Flock from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Jesus was the good Shepherd (John 10:1), and He was also our example of how to live a perfect life. He came to Earth at a dark, difficult time, especially in religion, for God’s presence had left the temple. The last book in the Ol...

But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speakin...
Jezebel Spirit Uprising!

Fear, control, manipulation, and intimidation are all signs of an oppressive spirit in operation. Wherever the Holy Spirit is moving through a Prophetic Voice (the Church), a Jezebel spirit will attempt to use tactics of fear, threats, and intimidation to silence the move of God (1 Kings 18-19). We must remember we are dealing with a spirit and not people groups, or individual persons. It's important to discern what's behind actions, attitudes, behaviors, and motives before confronting a situation head on and with personal agendas.
When we discern a Jezebel spirit operating through a region, city, church, or movement, we are to expose the spirit, pull down the stronghold, pray for its victims; then give all involved an opportunity to repent and turn from their wicked ways.
Wherever there's a Jezebel spirit in operation, an Ahab spirit is not far behind her; a weak and permissive leader, with codependent tendencies (1 Kings 16:30-31). Jezebel will target anyone who is willing to concede to her tactics to accomplish her agenda. We must not fall prey to the uprising of a Jezebel spirit at this hour. Accusations, word curses, slander, and tactics of intimidation are all forms of witchcraft coming through the influence of a Jezebel spirit.
As a people of God, we have the authority to pull down every stronghold that's attempting to erect walls of division and discord throughout the land. We have free access to call upon Heavens Angelic Hosts, to battle the forces of darkness on our behalf (2 Cor. 10:3-5, Job 22:28, Psalm 91:11-12).
We are a people who actively engage in prayer (2 Chron. 7:14). We have weapons of warfare to overcome and prevail over every evil plot and attack of the enemy (Eph. 6:13-18). The Word of God in our mouth is sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).
Let's exercise our power to work for good and not for evil. May we not fall prey to the enemies devices (2 Cor. 2:11). Let us operate in the Fruits of the Spirit and not from the flesh (Gal. 5:22-23). Amen? Amen!
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12.

Sooooo true! and happens more often than we think....

Let us choose God's word not the words of our flesh!
