at Raiders Road, South West Scotland
Published on May 28, 2016
Instead of the emphasis in Scotland being on the God given Solemn League and Covenant, the nation has turned its eyes away from this into films and books like Harry Potter bringing itself under the curse of the false destroying fire of the Wicker Man.
Opening all this up is Intercessor Brian Mason at the place where a physical Wicker Man and Pentagram had been built with a throne by Raiders Road.

RHOS ON SEA INTERCESSION AT HARBOUR
Published on Dec 18, 2016
Within walking distance of the Bible College Wales Brian Mason sits overlooking Rhos Harbour, from where nearby it is said Prince Madoc of Wales set sale 300 years before Columbus to discover America along the shores of Mobile Bay, Alabama.
Rhos itself however has been thwart with difficulties having lost key family attractions to what is a beautiful small Welsh seaside resort, a resort however that lost its Pier in 1953 and then its outdoor Swimming Pool.
It seems however nearly impossible to bring sympathetic development to the area with legal and political "letter of the law" restrictions!
This manifest itself during the summer of 2016 when the Vote Leave Battle Bus turned up only for the Harbour Masters representative to question its legality in parking on the Harbour!
So the Intercessor tares into the stronghold holding Rhos back to bring the freedom for the area to flourish.

13 05 16 WALES NON - CONFORMIST INTERCESSION
Published on May 23, 2016
At the graveside of Rev William Hughes at Old Colwyn Brian Mason Intercessor forces the religious spirits of Wales to give way - as Rev Hughes stood up to the establishment - so what he sowed has to be reaped!
“When the Non-Conformists Conform, they are no longer Non-Conformists. When the Non-Denominationals form themselves into a Denomination, they are no longer Non-Denominationals. Those who are of the Original Call are the embarrassment to the New Conformists. Those who hold to Non-Denominationalism are seen as rebels, for they continue not to conform.”
(Please note: Rev Hughes referred to was Minister at The Tabernacle, Colwyn Bay, North Wales)
“The whole principle of being a non-conformist, is not to conform. Yet organisers infiltrate into movements based on this principle, to bring about a conforming to worldly ways.
The Intercessor gets to the root of the situation!

How things have changed in Wales writes Rev Dr David P Griffiths considering the spiritual climate today to that of the days of great revivals like the one that took place in and around this Chapel so long ago!
The revival was not of today's new thing but more of the tone of the Welsh revival of the 1900's through Evan Roberts.
The key message of Evan Roberts in light of the 1904 Revival in Wales is summed up in four parts:
1. Confess all known sin
2. Deal with and get rid of anything ‘doubtful’ in your life
3. Be ready to obey the Holy Spirit instantly
4. Confess Christ publicly
W.T. Stead revealed that the revival in Wales he found to be spontaneous interviewing Roberts in the Rhondda.
"The movement is not of me," said Mr. Roberts— "it is of God. I would not dare to try to direct it. Obey the Spirit, that is our word in everything. It is the Spirit alone which is leading us in our meetings and in all that is done."
Further in the interview Stead saw that Robert’s passion was to be led by the Holy Spirit.
"Do you propose to go to England?"
"No. To North Wales next. They say North Wales is stony cold, but I believe the Holy Spirit will work there also. Oh, yes, God will move North Wales also."
"Can you tell me how you began to take to this work?"
"Oh, yes, that I will," said Mr. Roberts, "if you wish to hear of it. For a long, long time I was much troubled in my soul and my heart by thinking over the failure of Christianity. Oh! it seemed such a failure—such a failure—and I prayed and prayed, but nothing seemed to give me any relief. But one night, after I had been in great distress praying about this, I went to sleep, and at one o’clock in the morning suddenly I was waked up out of my sleep, and I found myself with unspeakable joy and awe in the very presence of the Almighty God. And for the space of four hours I was privileged to speak face to face with Him as a man speaks face to face with a friend. At five o’clock it seemed to me as if I again returned to earth."

In identifying the features of the Revival Matthews declared the following:
"Everything sprang into new life. Former blasphemers were the most eloquent, both in prayer and praise...Drunkards forgot the way to saloons...they were busy worshiping... It was the young people who responded with the greatest alacrity to the challenge of absolute surrender and consecrated to the service of the Lord...With ever increasing momentum, the movement advanced, creating unprecedented excitement among the churches and the secular institutions outside" (Matthews, I Saw the Welsh Revival, Moody).
What happened in South Wales was heard around the world. From many nations went people of all ranks of life to the country to personally witness the phenomenon. Some criticized and others scoffed, but such voices were answered by the throngs of people who filled the church sanctuaries to capacity for months on end.
The Welsh revival was not an orgy of emotion but a "mighty outpouring of religious fervor, bringing a whole nation to its knees at the foot of the cross in adoration and praise" (Matthews). In the midst of the events at Loughor, Roberts was asked to share his message with neighbouring churches in South Wales and eventually in North Wales as well. Marvellous results were very apparent wherever he taught the Word of God.
http://www.openheaven.com/library/history/wales.htm
Having prayed myself in the small Chapel at Loughor, where Evan ministered one can still sense the revival anointing coming from the great prayer meetings Evan had here. These meetings were totally surrendered to the Holy Spirit, those with access to these meetings being moved with conviction, the cry out of Evan being to “Bend Me, Bend Me” – “send your Spirit to Moriah …” The anointing was great – God’s power manifest bringing conviction to the people who turned from their drinking house to the House of Prayer. Such was the affect on society that we saw a great move of conviction and repentance on the nation that led to holiness and mission – an impact still witnessed today all over the World.
True, the charismatics will say that we have revival, revival is booming in Wales, our meetings are full but is this the Spirit that came down at Moriah, Soar y Mynydd and in the valley of William Williams. If so then the Spirit lacks bringing conviction and sinners to their knees.
No these modern day revivals are not the revivals of the past, the excuse being that God is doing a "new thing" but he has not departed from his old ways! He still brings conviction, he still brings the preaching of the Word featuring the blood of Jesus, the "Bibles" of today's charismatics being under the Vatican and its cohorts!
My wife Lindsay and I have never witnessed so much backbiting in recent years whilst ministering in Wales. the backbiting reaches ridiculous proportions enforcing bitterness into the people that cannot be let go!
Proverbs 25:23 King James Version (KJV)
The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
2 Corinthians 12:19-21 King James Version (KJV)
19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
There is a determination in Wales to keep old time revival out but God has called this ministry to break down that determination. As well as looking at the role of backbiting, we look at Jezebel and the key role of Satan's plan to destroy Wales has come through many Jezebels placing their Ahabs under their control.
Writes the Director of the Bible College of Wales Continuing .....
Intercessory prayer was undertaken in two strategic locations in mid Wales on 21 December 2013. The first was outside the chapel called Soar Y Mynydd. This chapel is miles away from anywhere from the late 1700’s became a place which was associated with a reviving move of the Holy Ghost.
What an experience to pray in a place where some mighty men of God have ministered in the power and under the anointing of the Holy Ghost. I was amazed when I read the prayer which the Holy Ghost had made through me (which had been faithfully written down by Lindsay Griffiths.) The prayer was doctrinally so deep and had a beauty of language as though the prayer had taken place in another era.
[It was in 1779 that revival broke out amongst this isolated farming community; this later spread to North & South Wales. A few years later, this chapel was built. It is still in use.]
Scriptures:
(1) Isaiah 53:5
(2) Romans 5:8
(3) Zechariah 4:6
“ ‘But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; & with his stripes we are healed.’ [Scripture (1)]
“O God, it is with the stripes of Thine own Son Jesus that You have brought healing from that sickness which is unto death. O God, You poured out from Thine own loving heart a depth of compassion which sent Thine own Son as the only means of reconciling sinners unto Thyself, that where sin abounded, grace abounded more.
“And Lord Jesus Christ, we were cut off from a holy & righteous God, & You took upon Thyself the punishment that is due to every sinner. You took into Thyself the embodiment of sin; & You were prepared to go to that cross of Calvary, & to suffer & to die in our place.
“O Lord God – can we ever comprehend of thine own loving heart that Thy Son took upon Himself all the punishment that was due to ourselves?
“He took the stripes; He took death; He stood as it were before the Holy One & stood condemned; & that through those stripes there is healing: healing from the sickness of sin, healing from the condemnation of its punishment which is eternal death; that through the death of Thy Son, the pouring of His blood, the perfect atonement for sin, that whosoever comes to Thyself through the shed blood of Thy Son, has perfect healing: healing from sin; & healing is in the atonement; healing of every curse; healing of mind, healing of body, healing of the spirit.
“For Thy Word declares [Scripture (2)]: ‘But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.’
“Can we ever take it in, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us?
“This, O God, is what Thy servants of the past have seen; servants who, both at this chapel of Soar y Mynydd & throughout this area have seen: that Christ died for sinners; men like Daniel Rowland, Howell Harris & William Williams, men greatly used by Thyself; men greatly filled with the power of Thy Spirit.
“Now, O God, what are You going to do in these days? Days of apostasy; days where there is ungodliness throughout this land of Wales. Thine honour, O God, is at stake; when You are not receiving the glory which is due unto Thyself; & the beloved One, who poured out His own precious blood, is not seeing of the travail of His soul & being satisfied; & when His Church is not separated unto Himself.
“Thy Word declares [Scripture (3)]: ‘This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.’
“Lord, I cry unto Thee, O God of heaven & God of earth, that You are the unchangeable God; that Your Word says, ‘Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today & forever;’ & that it is on this unchangeable-ness that I ask You will move in sovereign power once more within this land of Wales; & that Thy name, O God, will be spoken of as the God who has healed the sickness of sin & is the living God who receives glory from those who are His own.
“Amen.”
Prayer in Tongues followed as BM stood facing the door of the chapel.
The second intercession took place in Llandrindod Wells a town associated
with Rees Howells the founder of the original Bible College of Wales.
Scriptures:
(1) Ephesians 2: 1-6
(2) Romans 12: 1-2
Intercession:
[Scripture (1)]
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses & sins;
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh & of the mind; & were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved ;)
And hath raised us up together, & made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:’
“O God, the place where Thy people should be is to be raised up together & to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that place in Thy own throne room, place of authority & power, before Thy throne, & taking from Thy throne, from Thy very self, all that You have to give.
“For in Christ dwelleth all the fullness of God; & the Holy Spirit, whom Thou, O God the Father, sent into the world to indwell those whom He could find were willing to be made willing for Him to live a life just like Jesus lived whilst He was on earth.
For does Thy Word not declare
[Scripture (2)]
‘I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, & acceptable, & perfect, will of God.’
“Lord, in 1906 in this very town of Llandrindod Wells, during the Keswick in Wales Convention, the Holy Spirit found a man named Rees Howells, who the Holy Spirit was able to come & indwell as God, having first made Rees aware that when He came in, the Holy Spirit came in as God & Rees went out.
“O God, in these days when this town of Llandrindod Wells has gone far away from Thyself, its people & its churches do not know what it is to be wholly committed to all the will of God. For there is worldliness, there is no separation unto thee, O God, & even the Keswick in Wales Convention is no longer that instrument whereby men & women come to a realisation that it is not what they can do for God, only that which God can do through those who are in His hands.
“Lord God Almighty, I call upon Thyself to restore Thy work within this town; & that there will be a mighty move of the Holy Spirit in convicting power; that once again sinners will be brought to a realisation of their sin & cry unto Thee for mercy, to be washed & cleansed through the blood of Jesus; & that, Lord, this place whereby many were called into Thy service to be ministers & to be missionaries, that You will find those who are willing to be made willing to be vessels through whom the Holy Spirit can live & work as God. As there is the re-discovery of what Thy servant Paul wrote to the early Christians: that there was an expectation for a total separation from the world, so that the Church, the body of Christ, the living stones, the priesthood of each believer, would present their bodies as holy & acceptable unto God, which is their reasonable service.
“This prayer is brought before Thy throne, O God, with the sure expectation that You have heard & answered to Thy glory & Thy glory alone.
“Amen.”
19 12 16 BRIAN MASON BRYN EURYN SUMMIT INTERCESSION
Published on Dec 19, 2016
Climbing to the summit of Rhos On Sea's highest point where an iron age hill fort once stood we present an intercession from a strategic point of great military significance.
Over the years from the days of the Celtic tribes right the way through to World War II this summit has been key in relation to defences.
The Summit Intercession high above the Bible College Wales was therefore very significant in relation to spiritual war as well as natural war and it was for this that we were here today.

As well as looking at the role of backbiting, we look at Jezebel and the key role of Satan's plan to destroy Wales has come through many Jezebels placing their Ahabs under their control.
Blockage 1 in Wales : Backbiting!
Since moving back to Wales having lived in Cheshire and Scotland, one thing that is very noticeable and major stronghold is the fact that those who hear from God and act accordingly come under major persecution in Wales where tradition has to rule and rule strong.
Jezebel groups abound in the principality and for those intent on restoring the 1900's Welsh Revival are in for a torrid time. Proverbs 25 sums it all up.......
Proverbs 25:8-28 King James Version (KJV)
8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
My wife Lindsay and I have battled with great adversity in Wales not from the community at large, not in the political arena where we are active but in what is known as "Church" which right across the board is a mixture of paganism, legalism and staying away from original visions.
Not paying the price is common, and for those who place this "Church" under conviction a torrid time is likely, backbiting leading to legalism in an over[regulated society intent on pulling down visionaries.
9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
10 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
In the 1500's Wales was brought into the Union as a failing nation, and it has to be said - a nation failing today in that instead of embracing high level of education, high levels of productivity we witness many idle hands on benefits not putting into the Nation - but taking out - with those working hard pulled down by the work shy crowd who spectate rather than participate!
It is my view that Paul might well have been writing to the Church in Wales rather than Corinth for this part of scripture sums up the situation perfectly!
2 Corinthians 12:19-21 King James Version (KJV)
19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
Blockage 2: Jezebel
Our experience in bringing revival to Wales, however has hit a major blockage, that of the rise of Jezebellic activity in charismatic ministries where ministry to each other is given thepreeminence over the ministry to Christ Jesus.
To counteract this Rev Dr Suresh Ramachandran came to Rhos on Sea on 6th. September 2011. He gave this teaching:
“Jezebel Conference” Teaching, 06/09/11 Rhos On Sea Scout H/Q
Despite of this profound teaching, some failed to take in the warning falling to the subtle "loving kindness" of Jezebels operating in North Wales.
We appeal to you - to not become a victim like so many!
After this exposure of Jezebel, some attending the conference were so strirred up as Jezebel was exposed, that plotting took place to take out our ministry here.
Tremendous persecution followed along with great miracles and a great vision of God restored to Wales.
1 Kings 22 King James Version (KJV)
And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear?
And they said, Go up; for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.
And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.
And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.
So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?
And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes.
And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.
So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake.
Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.
Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and
Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
Study of the 4 groups of people found in this Scripture:
Introduction:
* The devil is an old fool – he always fights the old way, i.e. does not change his tactics
* Therefore we need to fight the devil the way God’s people fought him in the past
* The spirit of Jezebel is very convincing – persuasive
* Therefore the devil uses women a lot, because women are very convincing – persuasive
* The spirit of Jezebel has convinced lots of people that you have to be up-to-date in spiritual warfare. Therefore people spend lots of time training in new strategies & new revelations in spiritual warfare. All of this is ‘tomfoolery!’
* We must look at the Bible to see how the devil really fights.
A Study of the 4 different personages (groups of people) found in I Kings 22.
* Which group are you in?
* Many people are in the wrong place
The story is about the following groups:
1) King Jehoshaphat of Judah
2) King Ahab of Israel
3) The 400 false prophets (on Ahab’s side)
4) The (true) prophet Micaiah.
We need to be like (4) above. Of these 4 groups, 2 are obviously evil: (2) & (3) above. The most subtle character of these 4 is (1).
(1) Jehoshaphat:
In I Kings 22, verse 4 – Jehoshaphat & Ahab were friends.
Verse 41 – J. was the son of a good king, Asa. Of the 20 kings of Judah who reigned after the kingdom was split into 2 (see King Rehoboam), there were 6 good kings, including Asa.
Verse 43 – note the word ‘nevertheless,’ which really means ‘but.’
So, Jehoshaphat was a good king & the son of a good king; God-fearing & OK with the Lord. But there were 2 problems with him, which are also found in churches today, e.g. in Pentecostal denominations:
1) He did not remove the high places; the people were worshipping idols there. The king in those days was also the spiritual leader of the nation; he was therefore responsible for looking after the people’s spirituality. He did not care about this – so he was a man-pleaser. If J. had removed the high places, the people would have got upset with him. Equally, in the Church today, there are so many pastors who have allowed people to bring in any rubbish from the devil, as long as they are in church.
2) He was a friend of King Ahab. Ahab supported his wife (Jezebel), who as killing the prophets of God. So, Jehoshaphat was afraid of a man who was killing the prophets of God.
We can not have friends among people who are not godly. NB we must not compromise, though it will cost us in terms of persecution– e.g. the example of one of Suresh’s ex-students, a pastor at Ampara, who was badly beaten up recently for refusing to compromise on idolatry (as requested by Buddhist monks).
You find “Jehoshaphats” all over; they show false spirituality, but deep within they have not removed the shrines, & they are friends with Ahab.
In verses 24-29, a false prophet comes & humiliates Micaiah. Jehoshaphat was just sitting (on one of the 2 kings’ thrones there) looking at all these things! If J. was a God-fearing man, why did he not stop all this? He did not defend ot protect the man of God, though he had the power to do so.
Summary of Character (1):
Jehoshaphat had three main problems:
I. He tolerated people who were messing up their spiritual lives. In the same way nowadays, many denominations tolerate Jezebel etc.
II. Ahab should not have frightened any God-fearing man. In the same way today, people are frightened of Jezebel etc.
III. Jehoshaphat did not come to protect the servant of God. So today, Christians are not standing for the faith!
(2) Ahab:
Ahab was the most evil of the list of 4 personages [see I Kings 16]. Israel after the split in the time of Rehoboam son of Solomon, had 19 kings. Not one of them was good!
Scripture for study on Ahab - I Kings 16:
In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.
But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him.
For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.
Notes on Ahab:
In verse 31 we are told that Ahab did ‘walk in the sins of Jeroboam.’ Jeroboam as king of Israel placed 2 golden calves for the people to worship (see Exodus 32 for the golden calf the Israelites made & worshipped in the days of Moses). These calves were the same – fertility god.
Also in verse 31 we are told that Ahab ‘took to wife Jezebel.’ This is important for the following reason: when Joshua conquered the land of Canaan, Canaan was made up of many nations, each with their own local deities. Later, King David expelled the whole cult of Baal from Canaan, & the prophets of Baal dispersed to neighbouring lands, as ‘refugees.’
There is a parallel in British history. Once, the white ‘Anglo-Saxons’ ruled Britain (& a lot of the world!). After two world wars, Great Britain began to feel sorry for ruling the world. Then, in a nice way, they opened the nation to refugees, who now rule this nation! We are afraid to offend the refugees – soon they will openly be ruling Britain.
This is what happened to the Zidonians. Baal was a refugee. The people of Zidon married the deity Baal with their local deity Melchat. The high priest of this was the King of Zidon, Ethbaal [word means ‘the servant of Baal’]. His daughter was called Jezebel, Ahab married her; she brought her deities with her into Israel. So, King Ahab was bringing in the once-expelled Baal into Canaan again.
Putting things into the wider context – what does Jezebel do (i.e. the Jezebel spirit)? She brings back into the Christian Church the once-expelled evils, e.g. homosexuality. All these sins were expelled from the Church by Jesus. When He cried, ‘It is finished!’ He was meaning, ‘Everything is finished!’ i.e. ‘Devil – you’re finished!’
Satan tried to get Jesus to pay homage to him – same technique as Jezebel. He tried to get Him to acknowledge the King. [Greek ‘bow down’ or ‘grovel’ to acknowledge the king] which really conveys the meaning ‘come & lick the hand of the master.’
So, Satan (Jezebel) tells Jesus, ‘Here’s my hand; lick me like a dog.’ N.B. it was prophesied over Ahab that the dogs would come & lick his blood. The devil told Jesus: ‘Just be a dog; just this once…’
Jesus said, ‘Get thee hence, Satan!’ Three & a half years later, on the cross, Jesus took back all the devil had taken. Jezebel now wants to bring all these things back to the Church.
The Four Meanings of the name ‘Jezebel’:
Meaning no. 1 - Love [false love]:
Jesus said, Hate the sin; love the sinner. Some people need a ‘kick on their back,’ rather than ‘loving-kindness.’ Look at examples from the early Church – e.g. Ananias & Sapphira in Acts 5.
Today, if you preach an ‘offensive’ sermon, ‘offensive’ is categorized by Jezebel. If such sermons are offensive, then so is the knife of the doctor who does surgery on you! When the Word of God, preached as it is, is offensive, it is offensive to Jezebel.
Preach the Word as it is!!! Look at some of the programmes in churches. Who wrote the Bible? The Love of God=God is Love – are we going to teach Him what love is?
Meaning no.2 is ‘not exalted:’
We are in reality the sons of God. But Jezebel attacks us with false humility, pulling us down to ‘worm’ status.
Meaning no.3 is ‘Where is the prince?’
Meanings number 2 & 3 are contradictory. The Jezebel spirit will cause people to be proud of what they know & have learned. An example of this is the ‘Nicolaitans’ named after one of the deacons in Acts 6. They were a cult founded by the deacon Nicolas.
Look at the irony of these 2 meanings, ‘false humility’ & ‘pride.’
Meaning no. 4 is ‘husbandlessness.’
the husband is the head. ‘Husbandlessness’ therefore is ‘willing to live without the head.’ See I Corinthians 12 – God has given apostles & prophets=leadership of the Church.
There are extremes here. Meaning no. 4 means to slay the apostles & prophets – you do not accept their leadership in your heart.
Look at the churches today. If you want to see the world, you go to the church.!
The trick of Ahab is seen in
I Kings 21:
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
In verses 27-29, we read of Ahab’s ‘false repentance.’ God’s heart is tender & loving, but still punishing! If Ahab’s repentance had been true repentance, he would have shown the fruits of it, e.g. ha would have killed his wofe Jezebel, & reversed everything.
You will find false repentance in churches today.
What is very interesting in I Kings’ story of Elijah is that the devil used the ‘first lady’ of Zidon, Jezebel; God used the ‘last lady’ of Zidon, i.e. the humble widow of Zarephath, to look after Elijah.
Group (3) – the False Prophets (all 400 of them!):
Ahab loved the prophets, because they always prophesied what he wanted to hear. False prophets always soothe your ear – always say what you want to hear. See I Kings 22 verse 6 (above). They did not spend time in the presence of God - not a praying people.
By associating with all this, Jehoshaphat is putting all the people of Judaea, & himself, at risk.
The false prophets are always ready to prophesy to please people. Prophecies should be substantiated by the Word of God.
In I Kings 22 verses 19-22, the lying spirit is bold. This tells us that those ‘prophets’ would entertain lying spirits. Spirits should be afraid of (true) prophets!
False prophets can humiliate & attack true prophets all the time.
It hurts when Christians come against us – it always happens when you make a stand for the Lord, & for the Word.
One of the characteristics of the false prophets is to hurt you. ‘You are small…insignificant…big-mouthed etc.’
(4) The True Prophet (Micaiah):
Look at the proportions of evil to good! 400 false prophets to 1 true one; 3 bad characters / groups to 1 good one. Always, the true prophets are in the minority. Look at the traits of the true prophet:
Verse 14: ‘What the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak.’ A true prophet always sticks to the Word. The true prophet always stick to the Word of God.
Verses 15-17: These contain a lot of sarcasm. ‘Go, & prosper…’ This is cynical irony; really a rebuke. The next verse shows that the king knew Micaiah was being sarcastic. So Micaiah then told the true prophecy.
True prophets have a little bit of a sarcastic way of preaching! Here, Micaiah is exposing the false!
Present day application: do not ignore what is going on in the Church – we have to stand up against it!
See also verse 25 – sarcasm again. A true prophet will expose the evil from the Church - & he will not shut up!
In verses 19 & 22, he explains all that. He explains how the evil spirit entered the false prophets.
The mark of the true prophet - see verses 26-28. True prophets are always ignored, abused emotionally & physically, etc.
Final Summary:
Of the 4 groups (personages), Jehoshaphat was shrewd & cunning – but the greatest & best was no.4, Micaiah.
Let us have more Micaiahs!!!
Revelation 2:20 King James Version (KJV)
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
BEWARE OF THE JEZEBEL!
presented by Rev David P Griffiths with additional information from the revelation God gave Rev Dr Suresh Ramachandran over these matters
(Rev. Dr. Suresh Ramachandran is Principal of Mount Carmel Theological College, Sri Lanka and was a College Student with Rev. Dr. D.G.)
Ephesians 5:10-12 (King James Version)
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
How does Jezebel infiltrate families and Church families ?
1) Rev. 2:20 Teaches and Seduces to Commit Fornication
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
The sexual side is always there with Jezebel. They use it as a form of control over their male "Ahabs" making them perform immoral acts and through their controlling hypnotic spirit bring them to support sexual freedom in society.
Others are brought into the equation by gaining support for these immoral activities through their use of respected liberality, a concept rife in society today. Jezebels flourish in societies where there "is no living in sin" - only living with a partner!
Jezebel Comes in therefore = WHERE SIN ABOUNDS!
Today's society is often dominated by the Renaissance thinking of Florence, that it intellectualism and philosophy. The traditional Church will allow conviction of sin to take place but the Jezebel influenced operations we have in Britain today would treat such a conviction as an offence.
This means that Holy Ghost anointed Preachers are not allowed into pulpits anymore in fear that they may offend the congregation. The Prophet of God in families will be isolated and often called "mad" as he is an offence to the family that has put aside their holiness Church past to embrace the new non-offending culture of today.
Jezebel provides a sexual escape route for those overwhelmed by sin. Its called escapism and anyone who comes near to trying to face the sinner with the depravity of his/her position will be clearly isolated, pulled down through backchat and called "crazy".
The Biblical Ahab was overwhelmed by his sin, sins that exceeded the sins of Jeroboam, the consequences of which came before the judgment of God as they will today, the perpetrator Jezebel being in danger of the eternal fire.
Today's Ahab's have a similar fate, although we see what was a physical battle in the Old Testament as a spiritual one today. There was a whole family around the physical Ahab. He was the authoritative one as King, the one of power and those who came against this Kingly authority where in fear of losing all they had, like Naboth. There are Naboth's today facing the same ultimatum of losing family inheritance. The Jezebel controlled Ahab will look to destroy those who look to stand against a society riddled by sin even if this means a complete destruction of a fellow family member or Church body. This will occur through backchattings and plottings to bring to nothing the isolated remnant who do not play the newly respected games of a society bent on pleasure rather than on the fear of God.
We as a family have had to face up to this several times and know there are so many out there devestated and hurt by roaring Jezebels with quiet calculated Ahabs under the remote control of the Jezebel.
The end result of Ahab and Jezebel is clear in the scriptures but for those going through these attacks or recovering from them, a "haven of rest" is required. That is what this Church in Rhos is all about. We understand!
2 Kings 9:8-10 (King James Version)
For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:
And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
2) Jezebels use Biblical Principles to Operate
Isaiah 14:12-15 (King James Version)
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
We study the scriptures and discover Lucifer proclaiming that he shall be "like the most High". In other words he will copy the ways of the one true God, the one true God making his habitation in the bodies of believers.
Ephesians 2:22
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
As the Born Again believer becomes built together for an habitation of God, so Jezebel will control and manipulate the very mind and being of the Ahab she inhabits. Through the weak vessel she can manipulate her operations of destruction against the prophets of God.
On one occasion we had one so called "Elder" of a Church ring up people on our mailing list to tell them how terrible I Was.
I had exposed his Jezebel only weeks before and now the Jezebel attack came to blacken our name to those who could well give financially to the ministry.
I asked one such mail-out receiver if she had asked of the relationship the "Elder" had with the Jezebel for we had previously exposed sexual relationship in the so called Charismatic Leaders Church with her elder. These things are common with Jezebel. Their activities
3) Jezebel will always go after family inheritances often through her Ahab as she went after Naboth’s Vineyard.
We are well aware of this both in our own family life and in our ministry. If there is a set plan of inheritance or ongoing money supply into a home or ministry Jezebel will hypnotise and I include even Christians to take decisions contrary to their previous codes of behaviour.
This happenned with the physical Jezebel, it being even more common today through the spiritual one.
1 Kings 21 (King James Version)
And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
Jezebel will always look to do a deal, to be seen to do the "right thing" even to the point of apparent generosity to get her way.
And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
The Prophet will always refuse the deal, preferring to be led of the Lord rather than the subtle pressure of the Jezebel.
And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
Jezebel will always show sympathy and be nice to her Ahab.
And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
Jezebel will appear to the pride of her Ahab. This can be an elder in a Church or someone who sees himself in position in a family, and so activity will take place from the Jezebel to blacken the name of the Naboth.
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
This scenario is rife in Church life today and I tell one story publicly of it that will cause a stir, but I don't care - I tell the story with a heart to set so many victims of Jezebel free. We were pleased to get to know Rev Dr Roy and Pauline Harthern when God call him back to the City of his natural father Charles.
Charles was Uncle of a lady in our Church called Sheila and so she was related to Roy. Roy and Pauline had been given charge of one of the many AOG churches Charles Harthern had pioneered in Stoke On Trent, the Church needing to be restored back to the ancient landmark his father had set. I had prophesied he would be there two weeks and before you knew it a Jezebellic confrontation had taken place, the new elders in line with the respectability of the day taking the side of the Jezebel above the Prophet God had returned to the landmark seat of his father.
Communications were rife as in Jezebel's physical day, the spirit of Jezebel causing great division, the Prophet was blamed for. The gossip that followed was a spiritual stoning of the Prophet taking away his reputation in the area, an area he still weeps over today.
The authorities of Baal are still set forth to hinder the Prophets of today, to remove their inheritances and remove their reputations. We experience this in our own family and so we having been through this believe we are qualified of the Lord to set upon this understanding "haven of rest" in Rhos On Sea.
And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
With the spiritual Jezebel this takes place in the context of destroying the credibilbilty of the Prophet. He is made to look "mad" and out of his mind whilst the Ahab sits as King on his throne with all his faculties together.
The outward appearance will make the Jezebel controlled Ahab to look very strong. The reality is somewhat different.
2 Corinthians 10:6-8 (King James Version)
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's. For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
God will always bring forth reinforcements in time of need.
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
Those who sow against the Prophet will reap a destruction that is far greater.
Galatians 6:6-8 (King James Version)
Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
There is always opportunity for Ahab to repent -
what we do not see is the repentance of Jezebel!
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
Naboth was killed, only because he had a vineyard. Jezebel wants to destroy Christians in order to steal the vineyard which is the kingdom of God. Jezebel is the most satanic spirit – still trying to steal the vineyard – has to (a) steal churches; (b) steal people in the churches. In 325 A.D. (Constantine), Jezebel stole the entire vineyard, only to lose it to Calvin, Zwingli, John Knox etc. in the Reformation. But now, Jezebel has stolen the Reformed Church: evangelicals, pentecostals: today, there is hardly a church left without a Jezebel infiltration. There are however pockets of churches & Christians still unpolluted by Jezebel.
Conclusion:
God has given you a great insight into Jezebel & her schemes. Jezebel did not win (I Kings), but had a gruesome demise 10 years later. Already Jezebel is a defeated foe! The spirit of Jezebel is not something to be afraid of but to be careful of.
Families, fellowships and Churches need to face up to the Jezebel issue. There is no neutrality, only a calling of God to face up! Jezebels and the Prophets of Baal look in the majority. They look as if they have the power and authority. The reality is somewhat different as the Prophets of Baal found out
1 Kings 18:20-22 (King James Version)
So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
4) Chases prophets of the Lord I Kings 18:4
For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.
The Spiritual Jezebel will do spiritually what the physical Jezebel achieved in cutting off the prophets of the Lord. Outside the context of a spiritual nation, the Jezebel will look to plot to cut off family and resources from the Prophets of the Lord, with God bringing about people to feed the cut off prophets.
We experienced this twenty years ago in Inverness when our ministry was infiltrated and we lost all we had including our home. A couple called James & Sally took us in giving us shelter and ability to survive a situation that had brought our family to nothing. They were our Obadiah and as we face Jezebel today looking to do the same thing, we know God will again supply an Obadiah if that should happen again.
We are also aware of on-line Jezebels who seeks to discredit prophetic websites as out of line with thinking of today. This applies to this site, the principle here being the importance of becoming a fool before becoming wise!
1 Corinthians 3:17-19 (King James Version)
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
5) Association with prophets of Baal I Kings 18:19
Jezebel will always be of the respectable system.
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto Mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table.
6) Causes people to forsake the covenant I Kings 19:14-18
Britain has most certainly turned away from God. The children of Chapel goers, Mission Hall goers, Church goers, Assembly goers have fallen to the new pattern of life Baal has for them.
God, however, will always keep a remnant, but in today's culture that remnant looks stranger than ever, the wider family putting pressure on the remnant to conform.
This has happened in the once great Pentecostal movements who have moved away from the revelation preachers of the past to the conversational Higher Critism Baal preachers of today.
We in this Church will never conform but we are conscious of having a Church here in Rhos for those who have not conformed, but are battle weary. We understand with all of our hearts.
Yesterday, my wife listened to a dear soul who had escaped the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe and lost all she had. We do understand - the John 10:10 reality and want to love all victims of those who have been on the front line.
1 Kings 19:14-18 (King James Version)
And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
7) Controls male partner by his fear of public embarrassment, knowing how to use deep emotional hurts and wounds to create soul ties.
Jezebels just love to minister in the fears and emotions realm, getting to know the partner's vulnerable areas. Knowing glances keep the partner under control this being in line with Revelation 2:20 in the context of the seduction of those who alreally called to ministry.
8)Views personal prophecy as a tool to control you whilst own life is of chaos, confusion, instability, broken relationships and destructions.
The Jezebel will control the life through personal words of advice and control, doing what's "best" for her Ahab. She will sympathise with him like the physical Jezebel sympathised with the physical Ahab. She will look to have so much sympathy and bring the Ahab to behave in an un-charticteristic way - with a view of killing any prophet that might oppose, gthat killing in these days being achieved by cutting off resources and relationships with family.
The Jezebel's own life will have been one of insecurity and chaos looking for her Ahab to be her slave that brings some kind of order to her life.
Literal Meanings of the Name "Jezebel"?
Jezebel Meaning 1
‘chaste’ or ‘loving kindness’
The physical Jezebel showed loving kindness to Ahab; that is why he did not divorce her.
She was also loving & kind to the prophets of Baal & Ashtoreth. Even today, this spirit brings false love & false kindness into churches and families.
It is God who is love & kindness; we do not need to import this! Therefore, ministers have to show ‘love & kindness’’. Within the hypnotic trance of the Jezebel family members and Pastors in churches have to tread carefully so as not to bring offence.
We – ‘love’ the sinner too much to show him his sin – we let them dwell in their sins, so as not to hurt them. Pastors & elders cannot ‘hurt’ believers. If the Word of God ‘hurts’ someone, we must change it to a new translation, etc. – everything is done so as not to ‘hurt’ people.
NB the case of Ananias & Sapphira in Acts. The Church is born in Acts 2. This is a young, immature Church – yet there is the story of Ananias & Sapphira (Acts 5). Where is the ‘grace & loving kindness’ of God in the New Testament? God says “I am Love – but don’t mess with me!!”
The kind of love that operates so as not to bring offence is not the God kind of love.
1 Peter 2:7-9 (King James Version)
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
Jezebel Meaning 2
‘Where is the Prince?’
NB we are kings, seated with Christ in heavenly places. Jesus is the King of kings. But Jezebel will say “Where is that prince in you?” “Show them who you are!” This is pride. It is the same as Satan did with Jesus at the end of his 40-day fast. “If you are the Son of God…” Jezebel questions our position in God. Do not listen to Jezebel; listen to the Word of God. We do not have to show who we are. The demonic forces already know! Pride is such an evil (Proverbs – ‘it goeth before destruction’).
Jezebel Meaning 3
‘not exalted’ –
This is false humility. The same spirit on the one hand will trigger your pride; on the other, will show you as a ‘worm’ - this is irony! It brings false despondency “I can’t do anything!”
Jezebel Meaning 4
Husbandlessness’ (no husband) –
You would say this only if someone was (a) a widow or (b) divorced/separated. You would not use it for a spinster. The spirit of Jezebel knows we have a husband/bridegroom – Jesus. So now, Christians influenced by Jezebel will say “I belong to the Body” - but say “I have not surrendered to the Head – why should I?” They will not obey Christ, or the apostolic leadership of the church. Therefore they are disobedient to proper Biblical leadership.
Question: How does Jesus manifest himself now? Answer: Through the Word of God. Any Christian who disobeys the Word is husbandless! The Word of God is something we need to learn, seek after, and study. Many Christians today are husbandless; therefore have to go behind freemasonry, witchcraft etc. and false Jezebel “Bibles”.
How to Deal With Jezebel!
The solution is simple: Expose the THIEF!
Remember too - unlike Naboth we have the Holy Ghost today and the fearless Power we have in confronting the Jezebel is absolutely awesome to the Jezebel. WE ARE BOLD IN HIM and we all need to stand to protect our families, churches and loved ones setting them free from the hypnotic clutches of Jezebel.
Jeremiah 2:25-27 (King James Version)
Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go. As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets. Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
Jezebels will always plot behind the scenes using Church members under her control or family members. The solution is to bring it all out in the open. If Jezebel is "occult "- and "occult" means unseen - then the solution is to bring it all out into the open and name the Jezebel. we know that works and sets the repentant Church or Family Members who have been under the control free!
Proverbs 6:30-32 (King James Version)
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding:
he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
