Thank you. Beside you there is no other. It's in you we live, it's in you we move, God. Our life is in your hands. You are strength, God. We say thank you, God, even when we don't understand.

So, Father, tonight as we open your word to teach, on our ears to hear what you will say to us, do something unusual, something man cannot do. Saturate the walls of this place and let your Shekinah glory be revealed. God, let the word go out in such a way that the weak would leave saying, "I'm strong." That the poor would leave saying, "I'm rich." Discourage, encourage. Those that watching will be edified and built up, God, and we will be encouraged that we have prophetic power and prophetic victory in the mighty name of Jesus. And we praise you for it. We say thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name. Come on, clap your hands and say Thank you, Jesus. Come on, you can do better than that. Clap your hands, open your mouth, and tell him thank you. Hallelujah. We bless his name. Glory to God. God is good. He's a mighty God, and beside him there is there is no other. Hallelujah! We thank him. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for what's to come. Ah, shakoto bandyasa. That it supersedes what we're experiencing right now. We say thank you in advance. Your credit is good with me, so I thank you in advance for the fulfillment of your promises, for the fulfillment of your word over our lives. We say thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. Glory to God. All right, tonight I'm going to plunge into the heart of Yes, God is good. No God like our God. Hallelujah. He rules and he super rules. Hallelujah. He's God all by himself. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. Y'all pray with me tonight. There, uh, You know, whenever I start teaching about this, the enemy really gets mad. So, uh, everything just didn't want to work right. So, uh, and my sinuses out of nowhere just started acting up, which is craziness. So y'all pray with me, all right? Tonight we're gonna— this is part 3 of this teaching on Jezebel. And, um, I want to kind of take my time and walk through this and, and get us out as quickly as we can. That's why I'm jumping right into it. Um, we have discovered in these teachings that, hallelujah, Jezebel is an offspring of Baal. We broke that down, uh, last time we was teaching on this. And also the god of Astaroth, which basically the gods of sex, power, and money. And this is how she operates. This demon is running rampant in the land Interesting about scripture, when you read about Jezebel in the Bible, you're not going to find reference to actually praying about Jezebel, to actually casting her out. In order to defeat Jezebel, every reference to her defeat lends to two things. One, she has to be confronted. It. So you can't act like— you can't just go in a corner and pray about it and like Jezebel doesn't exist. You have to confront that spirit. Are y'all hearing this? And then you have to kill it. Uh, she, she'll never stop if you don't kill her. Say the word. Say Jezebel. Jezebel. Her defeat. Her defeat is by death. By death. Say it again. Say by death. By death. Jesus is power and it's the devil. Glory to God. Go to 2 Corinthians 10. Glory to God. Yeah, I want to welcome our live audience. Y'all stay with us tonight if you're live. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Y'all all right tonight? Y'all mind if I sit with y'all? Okay, so, um, y'all see scripture up there? Should be up there. All right, 2 Corinthians 10, verse 4. This is NIV. It says, the weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. Thank you, Lord. Let me say this: we are, as the body of Christ, whether people want to receive this or not, in a war. We're in a war. Um, Anytime on social media when— just using this for example— when everybody else can speak their truth but the church can't speak its truth, that's a problem. I posted a video this morning and, uh, I was threatened to be put in Facebook jail if I didn't remove it because the video, they say, violates the community standards of Facebook. So they were going to suspend my account, my account, because I was talking about homosexuality and lesbians and people who are actually walking in that lifestyle, but I was telling the truth about what the scripture says. So because I didn't want to go to Facebook jail, I decided to take it down. But I'm gonna put it up again, but it's just gonna be a little different when I put it back. But at the end of the day, you know, we're in a war, man. The enemy doesn't want us to speak our truth. The enemy doesn't want the church to be the church. Mhm. And in every war, we have to realize there are weapons. You can't fight a war without weapons. You better believe the activity that is happening over there in the Middle East right now There are a lot of weapons involved and people are dying for real on the battlefield. The key to victory in any war is understanding the strategies on how our enemy works, and we have to become preemptive in how we attack our enemy. In other words, we really have to take our enemy down before the enemy takes us down. Because whether you know it or not, the enemy is always studying your movement. Okay, let me give you scripture on that. He goes to and fro in the earth seeking, strategizing whom he may devour. And oftentimes that strategy is suggestive of the fact that he's looking for people who's actually a threat. The enemy doesn't fool with folk that's not a threat. Because you are a threat, which is why your life is under attack. Because this church is a threat, that's why it's under attack. But the devil is a liar. The weapons we fight with are not weapons of this world. We won't defeat these enemies that come against us with bullets, guns, and Uzis and nuclear weapons. Our weapons are spiritual, and they come from God to pull down these strongholds. So as we tapped into this, the spiritual intelligence of Jezebel, we found out Jezebel is a murderer, she's a liar. This spirit is a deceiver, a witch, a manipulator, and hates authority. And her main focus to the deployment of this spirit is to destroy the prophetic voice. We came to understand that there's a war in the heavenlies between the spirit of Jezebel and the spirit of Elijah, all right? Because the enemy hates prophetic authority. Because this church is extremely prophetic, not just because I'm here and prophets are here, but the very tapestry in the history of how this whole church's birth is prophetic. So Jezebel is going to come after it. Jezebel wants to cut off our voice. And watch this, if she can't cut off your voice, what she does is she'll attempt to pervert your voice. Okay, I'm gonna say it again, she'll attempt to pervert your voice by seducing you and I to defile ourselves. Okay, we can't afford to allow Jezebel to win. So tonight I'm going to expose some of her weapons. This is not an exhaustive list at all. But I want you to remember something as we walk through this. People that have been bitten or gripped by the Jezebel spirit, they walk in a lot of fear, so they have more bark than they do bite. Are y'all hearing this? And The reality is they use manipulation that's aligned with fear. Watch this, that's also many times aligned with sympathy, tears. It's always a woe is me. It's not the spirit, it masks itself looking for empathy and looking for hugs and kisses and always want to be babied. My Lord, devil is a liar. They figure that nobody can really see them, but when you ain't really been around people that can see for real, you deceived in yourself. When you believe, we can't see you, right? You can't be in a prophetic church and not be seen. Come on now. I mean, the eyes are going to open, you're going to be seen, but it's only to help you and edify you and build you up. Amen. Okay, so we, we got to deal with that. I, you know, I'm, I'm the kind of person, I, all of my church life I've been this way. You know, I want God to show me me. This is how I pray. I want God to convict me when I'm out of order. Show me when I'm wrong so that— watch it— so nobody have to see it. Give me a chance to fix it before somebody can look in the spirit and see, because I won't listen to what he say. Okay. So let's get into these again. This list is not exhaustive. So we love people who walk in this, I'm gonna say that, but we hate this spirit. So we have to destroy this spirit and we have to confront it. The first thing she uses, and she uses it very well, is perversion. And y'all heard me define this word a lot. Which means to create another version of the authentic. Watch this, it is done to fit the desire of the one operating in this spirit. So they'll pervert things so that their desire can be satisfied. Even try to pervert scripture and the word of God. And we'll watch this and lie and say God said something when God didn't say it. Maybe they won't make me take this one down. You can't lie and say God said it's okay for you to be a homosexual. Are y'all hearing this? You can't lie and say God said it's okay for you to be a lesbian or to be a polygamist with 5 wives. I'm just gonna hit everybody so they won't— because I'm— I ought to have a right in my community to say what God say. The Bible is right, somebody's wrong. Yeah, but some people will pervert that and say, well, you know, God never really said in the Bible you can't sleep with another man, or the devil is a liar. It's all through there. It's wrong. But you know Jezebel is at work when people will lie on God. And say, God said I can do this. You lying wonder. God did not say we could live against his will. Okay, here we go. So Matthew 17:17 should be on the screen. And just— Jesus answered and said, you unbelieving And perverted generation. Now, if you know the backstory of this, these were men walking with God, walking with Jesus, who couldn't cast out a demon. Are y'all hearing this? Who could not align with the power they were watching go forward. And so it just kind of— Jesus just kind of rebukes them and said, hey, Yeah, you're unbelieving and you're perverted. In other words, you're manufacturing another way, you're trying to find another way to get done what I'm trying to do, when really what you need is power. He says, how long shall I be with you? How long should I put up with you? Just bring the demoniac to me. I preached a message from this text one time called Bring Your Dummy to Jesus, because the Bible says that the demon they were talking about was hexed with a dumb spirit. Cut itself, falling in the floor. Jesus said, bring the dummy to me. We need some of that for real now. Cuz the church is just full of dumb folk. And it not— not Brother Church in particular, not saying everybody in here the brightest in the bunch neither, but the body of Christ is filled with just dumb folk. But we need enough power. Well, when dumb spirits rise up, we can cast them out. Because here's the point about this: perversion extracts God and eliminates power. Are y'all with me? So when we allow perversion to go on, God steps back and say, I need everything to be decent and in order so I can move. My God, y'all pray with me. Glory to God. This came out of nowhere. Thank you. See, perversion is the chief enemy of authority. It's a chief enemy of God's way of doing things. Again, it extracts God from the situation, and God knows we need God. And the worst thing that can happen, you have people and leaders trying to play God. Are y'all hearing this? And people saying, God, are y'all hearing this? Said this, God told me this, and God gave me this vision. And really, it's a familiar spirit. And so that person will never walk in power. That ministry will never walk in power. That's why in the video, social media wanted me to take down that ministry. There's no way it can have power because it operates from the head to the door. In perversion. Are y'all hearing me? A house where the woman runs the house. Okay, all right, well, here we go. God is head of the man, man is head of the woman. So as the man is following— long as he following God— are y'all hearing this? You should be following him. Are y'all listening? Now, if the woman's running the house under the auspices of the spirit of Jezebel, that's perversion. And she never listened to the man because he him pecking, a yes man. And all she got to do is rub his head right and whatever she wants, she gets. And she knows that. are y'all hearing this? That shouldn't work, shouldn't work that way because that's perversion and it eliminates the power and God can't move in that house. Go to 2 Kings 9. And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it and she painted her face and tied her head and looked out at a window. Now this is where the error comes from, where people say you can't wear makeup. The preacher just didn't study, so he, he just read that. So, oh, let me go to church and tell these women to take that war paint off their face. No, that's not what this meant. It didn't mean go throw away your Mac and your Mary Kay. It— because there was some of the saints that needed it. Are y'all hearing this? I mean, for real, I'm serious. I'm for self-help. If you need Mac or weave, whatever you got to do, Help yourself. And, and them old preachers wonder why all the single sisters were single. Y'all told these girls to take their makeup off. Don't nobody want to talk to them. Okay, okay, here we go. She painted her face, tied up her head. That is why they tell them women in the old sanctified church, tie your head up. Looking like Aunt Jemima on the grit box. No makeup, no earrings, no jewelry, head tied up. Come on, man, everybody's single. Okay, okay. So she looking out the window with her bed clothes on. All right, cause— and I painted her face up in a disguise because Jezebel always tries to hide. And notice she's looking out a window, peeping in on what— watch this— Jehu was doing, who is an apostolic type. He— Jehu was apostolic because he slayed all these false prophets, and God was using him to bring order in the Old Testament. Jezebel sees that, and she's hot, she's peeping in. And anytime you're on the verge of fulfilling purpose apostolically, shifting things in the realm of the spirit The enemy is gonna get mad. And as Jehu entered in at the gate, let me read, she said, 'Had Zimri peace who slew his master?' Go to the next one, verse 32. And he lifted up his face to the window and said, 'Who's on my side? Who?' And there looked out to him three 2 or 3 eunuchs. I'm gonna get back to this. And he said, throw her down. So they threw— so watch this— these eunuchs that was with her, they were at 2. With in the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses, let every word be established. Are y'all hearing this? So now you got just all she needed out of all them eunuchs that was with her. Was too, to see how powerful Jehu was. And they said, we don't want to come under the wrath of him. So he said, throw it down. So they threw it down, and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall and on the horses, and he trolled her under his feet. So Jehu killed her. He confronted her. And killed her, threw her out the same window she was looking in. Are y'all hearing this? So let's look at this. So again, perversion is an enemy to authority. This is why Jezebel employed eunuchs. Y'all know what eunuch is, right? Man parts have been cut off. So these folk that's trying to cut their man parts off now, they didn't just start happening. They've tried— they got rid of it because they were perverted. Are y'all hearing this? And Jezebel said, you got the strength of a man but you don't have the heart of a man, so I can manipulate you and control you. Eunuchs in the 21st century, let me tell you what they look like now, okay? These that are employed by this Jezebelic spirit. One, they are messengers of the spirit. Because Jezebel used the eunuchs in the text to carry her messages, to run errands, to deliver letters, to send invitations, to spread the word. Eunuchs are couriers of bad news. They never got anything good to say, and they're always trying to undermine authority when authority is not around. Oh, y'all here? They talk too much, and they talk out of their flesh, and they talk with no authority. Uh, so not only are messengers, but they're also representatives, just like we are ambassadors for Christ. Eunuchs in the spirit are representatives of Jezebel. They're authorized as agents of the spirit and delegates, and they have her characteristics. They're manipulative. Again, they're liars. They have a slandering, murdering spirit. Oh God, help us. When Jezebel can't get what she wants— watch this— or she can't be present herself, that's why you have to be watchful. She'll send a representative, she'll send a eunuch that's gonna bring word back to them. Are y'all hearing this? So that's why we have to be watching. We have to watch as well as pray. Secondly, a eunuch— thank you, darling— in the 21st century is not only a representative or a messenger, but a eunuch is also a student of the Spirit. Spirit. They're full-time students of this, of her teachings, because 9 times out of 10 in their bloodline there's another Jezebel that have modeled Jezebel characteristics to them, and it has become learned behavior. Watch this. There's too much students of the spirit that when a Jezebel is Somebody carrying this spirit is faced with truth. Oh God, they run back to their teacher and drop that truth in their lap so they can hear them twist it so they don't have to receive it because they want these bedeviled interpretations. See, Jezebel— watch this— is a teacher, and her students look to her, this spirit. They look to this spirit for loopholes and teachings that would justify their position. Okay, y'all don't believe it? Go to 1 Timothy 4 and verse 1. Thank you, Jesus. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in latter times some shall depart the faith. Here we go. Giving heed to seducing spirits. I told you Sunday, I think it was, or Sunday before that, that a seducer pulls you in. They're working hard to pull you into themselves. And seduction ain't always what you see in the red light district, okay? All right, now seduction is not just a mini skirt with a halter top. Seduction can dress in jeans and t-shirt and be fully covered. Seduction will mask itself in humility. Seduction can dress in clergy attire. Are y'all hearing this? So many people are being seduced into things by appearances that seem like it's God. It's god-ish, not God. It's god-ish. And seducers deliberately create things that look like God to pull people in. Are y'all here? People who depart from faith and what they're supposed to be doing and being in alignment with God, they've been seduced, especially once they've been in God, right? And something so strong like this Jezebel spirit pulls them out. And watch this: doctrines of devils. That's any doctrine that goes against the teachings of the constitution of the word of God. It It's a doctrine of devils. If it renounces truth, it's a doctrine of devils. Are y'all with me? All right, not only is a eunuch a student, a messenger, and a representative, but number 4, a eunuch is also, also a senator and a guard. Of the Jezebel spirit. Jezebel eunuchs watch out for, protect, defend, and alert Jezebel of pending harm. They'll let this person they know, or the person they planted that's operating in that spirit, know You've been found out. Your cover is blown. You better get out of there before you get delivered for real. Are y'all hearing this? I'm just telling you now. So let me tell you what this looks like. So if you look at a football field— Alex, my son, again, he plays quarterback, sometimes running back. and he is always going to have a line in front of him that protects him so he can execute his job. That's what these guards do. They block for the spirit so that she can work in an environment where God wants the glory and should be getting the glory. This spirit has tore up more churches more jobs, more businesses. Because again, it don't just happen in church. There are institutions of education that are on the road to ruin because the person at the helm operates in a Jezebel spirit. Are y'all hearing this? Okay, let me go here. Our nation. While folk were prophesying that Trump is God's man, he has proven that the Jezebel spirit operates in his life. And that's why we got to pray for those that have rule over us, because it will divide a nation. It will wreak havoc, and that spirit will run interference so he can keep doing his job. Oh God, can I go here? Can I say this? Okay, yeah, the Lord says say it. So you can't have a puppet in the White House that you put over your faith office who is running interference Because since the inception of her ministry, she been operating in a Jezebel spirit. She has slept with more famous preachers to get doors open. Okay, yeah, they're just gonna kick me off. I understand, it's okay. But that same spirit is in the White House and in the quote-unquote trying to represent people of faith. Okay, but really all she's doing is running interference. Are y'all hearing this? For the Jezebel spirit to do its job, to bring division. And then how dare this man post a picture depicting himself as Jesus. Are y'all hearing this? He posted on his social media platform that he owns here with— he depicting himself as Jesus laying hands. And sir, that's that Jezebel spirit, I'm telling y'all. And the only reason he did it, because one of his representatives publicly told him he like Jesus. Okay, all right. Okay, I scared. 410 Santa Fe Trail, that's where I'm at. Glory to God. All right, okay, here we go. Number 5, you— and watch this. So it— and it's eunuchs running this, people with no power. If your male parts have been cut off, your potency have been cut off, you have no power. You can't compare wickedness to Jesus. Well, there goes government grants for us. Okay. Thanks God we don't need them. Praise God. That's why we can tell the truth. Amen. All right, number 5: Jezebel and her eunuchs. They are attendants of the Jezebel spirit. Eunuchs feel— here we go— compelled, obligated to meet the needs, even if they're trifling needs, of Jezebel. Study the continuity of the text, you'll find that these eunuchs engaged in all kind of acts with Jezebel. Are y'all hearing this? First of all, they ain't got no power, no male parts. How perverted is that, what they doing? Okay, that's some deep-seated perversion right there. She don't want— she was a woman. Okay, okay, what? But they will do whatever she say. Watch this. And they are oversensitive about her. So this is why you have to be careful too when you go into ministry, where people always talking about my pastor, my pastor, and it's all about the pastor, it's all about the leader. You better not talk about my pastor, I'm gonna shoot you. Talk about my pastor, I'm gonna cut you. Okay, and I get the honor, right? But that stuff can go too far because that's protecting that spirit that you idolizing. Are y'all hearing this? And that leader in many a times controls the people with an iron fist. That spirit is— because people, we were talking about this yesterday, people are afraid of the person. And that's it. If you got members that's afraid of you and you're a pastor It ain't God, because at the end of the day, what sheep that's in a fold with a shepherd fears the shepherd? Those sheep will run to the shepherd before they go to anybody because he's down there with the sheep. He smells like the sheep. Are y'all with me here? These sheep can't even— can't protect him. They have no ability to. So when we're— when we operate in the kingdom work, we have to make Jesus the epicenter, the centerpiece of the ministry. Otherwise, that idleness can bring Jezebel in. You have to regard— when you're in a ministry where you know the man or woman of God hears from God— and this is what people that's watching and there's people that's here— the reality is you have to regard that person as a servant of God, and you have to respect that they have heard from God and that whatever they're saying has been orchestrated by God's leading. That person is not to be worshiped. Amen. Yeah, cause I ain't God and neither is any other leader. I can get through teaching tonight and standing, laughing, joke with you. I can get through in the night, get and go eat some chicken with you because I'm human. Are y'all hearing this? So being a— you again, you got churches, man, got 7 members. And 6 armor bearers to the pastor. That's the Jezebel spirit. You got some folk— nobody's threatened by you. Are y'all hearing this? Why you got 6 people around you? One with your Bible, one with your briefcase, one holding your coat, one got your glasses, one wiping your sweat. I'll never forget, I was in a service one time. God was up preaching. He had an umembere standing there, umembere standing there. Everywhere he went, they were running behind him while he preaching. That would have got on my nerves. I, I'm like, Jesus, I would have had to tell them to sit down. Look, just leave me alone and let me do my job. He dropped one sweat. Patting his face. Like, devil is a lie, something else going on here. These are eunuchs. Ain't no real man want another man patting their face. Then when he got through preaching and was sitting around talking with some of the other pastors, yeah, well, I had to go change my— and just arrogantly, my armor bearers had to— I preached so hard tonight, my armor bearers had to strip me down to my underwear. Ain't no grown man I'm just going to tell you right now, finna strip me down to my drawers. Okay, I got to go home because, yeah, that, that, that can't fly. That's being an attendant to that, again, to that Jezebel spirit, no matter how trifling it looks. You can't let your good be evil spoken of. I know Pastor Jeffrey is our man. He traveled out of town with me. We was in Mississippi playing, and, and he served. He had his own room. I love him, but I got him in his own room. Y'all ain't got to say nothing. I'm just saying now, I know he all man, but guess what? He needed his own space as a grown man, and I sure needed mine. Okay, are y'all with me? All right, I'm gonna get out y'all way because I see, see y'all want me to finish. Okay, I'm gonna come quick to a close. Eunuchs are also the spiritual children of the Jezebel spirit. Good God. Eunuchs, watch this. You hear this a lot. That's why we got to be careful how we throw this around. People always saying, that's my spiritual mother, and, and whatever that person tells them to do, they do it. That person controls their life, their house, and everything. Oh, that's my spiritual father. Your spiritual father should not control your life. Are you hearing this? I'm gonna tell you right now, I don't need— I'm not even interested in that. I want you to fulfill your purpose. I want to deploy you to be a great citizen in the kingdom. I don't need you to call me and ask me what color to paint your wall. Okay, y'all laughing. It's people that's doing that foolishness. Somebody tried me one night, one day, and since we've been over here. Apostle, I'm going to the car dealer, I'm getting ready to look at a car, I want to buy a car. What color is the Lord saying I should get? I said, Lord ain't told me nothing about your car. I said, now don't call me with that no more. I'm gonna pray you get it. But whatever color you get is up to you. That's, that's not my job. Apostle, I'm getting ready to hang some curtains. Should they be blackouts or should they be sheer? I don't know. Do I got a sign on my chest that say interior decorator? No. No, I'm telling the truth. People will pull you in to their need to be controlled, and that's idol. And some people, because they never led for real, they love it. Or some— oh, they need me. Let me, let me go and help them pick out this color. I wish I would be in Lowe's with you. You better call me if you go to the hospital or you sick and need some prayer. I mean, about no paint strips and looking at colors. I barely want to go to Lowe's with her. My God. Let me give you an example, and this is true story. I gave someone a ministry assignment one time, and you know how when people come to the church, sometimes people will come and they'll say, well, I'm not gonna join, I just I just want to be here and I just want to help. And I says, well, of course we didn't let them do that, but the Lord told me, just give them this assignment. I have been mentoring the young man and I said, okay, this is what I want you to do. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, this, that. And he, guess what he told me? He said, I need permission from my spiritual mother who's in another city. Now you here can join our church. But your spiritual mother is in another city before he could do what I was asking of him in assignment. That's too much control. Are y'all with me? That's out of order. I've had people tell me who were members. Just a lot of stuff happened in Mississippi, man. Lady member, she was a member. I was pastor and covering her, and of course I was an apostle at the time as well. And I had given her an assignment on the flip side of this, and she didn't say mother. She said, I need to check with my apostle, who was in another city. And so I'm like, okay, you're a member of this church. Are y'all hearing this? That's double-mindedness. First of all, I didn't even know you had an apostle in another state. So all the time you, you just here with me, but you serving this person too because they controlling you. There's a lady, uh, right now, she's an apostolic minister who I, I bowed out gracefully because every time I talked to her, she done met another spiritual father. And I just asked her, how many daddies you got in the natural? How many daddies you got in natural? First natural, then spiritual, right? So how you got all these people in here you calling daddy? So I'm gonna just pull back from that part. Whatever you need me to do, I'm gonna support you, but you ain't gotta worry about— I don't need no title in your life because you got people that just wanna tell you what to do. That— and really, and I hope one day she just open her eyes and realize that. Or, or people that want to just have a badge, I'm her father. But if, if you're a father, what are you really doing for your children? Are y'all hearing this? Okay, all right, I'm gonna keep going. Here's another one: eunuchs are intelligence agents. Of the Jezebel spirit. They secretly are employed in espionage. Jezebel, this spirit feeds on knowledge, so they're constantly on covert operations to gain information so they can kill you later. Are y'all hearing this? Get all up in your business, try to get close to you to learn what you do, so that when they get mad, they got artillery against you. I could see that foolishness a mile away. As soon as I see it, I make adjustments. I ain't even got to say nothing. My moves speak loud. Are y'all hearing this? Jezebel will gather vital information about you, store it up, and wait to use it. Now that's how I know it's the spirit. While men can have it Men got— if you have a man operating Jezebel spirit, there's some femininity that's coming along with that because women have a knack. Ladies, something can happen to y'all and y'all can say, I forgive you, and we move on. All right, 6 years later That— if the Jezebel spirit is present, you'll bring— well, you remember what you did 6 years ago. I thought we were past that, but trying to control the now narrative. Thank God I ain't married to that person. Amen. I have been in the past, but the reality is you should get over things. And if you choose to stay— are y'all hearing this? Forgiveness doesn't come with a penalty. The Jezebel spirit always penalizes people. Watch this, for eternity, as long as they can, the penalty is over your head. Yeah, I tell you all the time, I watch my wife She loves so perfectly in her family dynamic. Even there are things that, as she was growing up, certain things happened. She never has been open about a lot of stuff, and, and I understand why, but I've watched this lady love like nothing happened. Are y'all hearing this? I be, I be wanting— it didn't even happen to me. But because I'm learning from her how to love for real, man, like Jesus. Cause I grew up in the SWATs, and that's Southwest Atlanta for those of you that don't know. I grew up in the hood, and I grew up with that mentality. It wasn't no turning the other cheek. You slap me, slapping you back. That's how I grew up. Say something to my child, I'm gonna say something to yours. That's how I grew up. Mess with me, I'm gonna mess back with you. That's how I was. Thank God for deliverance. Because I mean, you— when Pastor was talking about compassion yesterday, as an apostle It's important to perfect compassion. Compassion is the cheapest gift of any apostle, and it's the last one that most learn because of the apostolic aggression that makes us feel like we can have to be mean all the time. It's not true. And when I start feeling that, I'm like, oh, this is right up my alley, man. And I start even believing God using my personality. I can go off when I want to. But that one— that wasn't what it was. And the Lord had to correct me. I got to teach you compassion, son. Breakthrough happens where there's compassion. Miracles happens where there's compassion. Things you never seen in the realm of the spirit happen when there is compassion. Are y'all with me? All right, so y'all got that? Eunuchs, perversion, that's the first weapon. I'm gonna run through these last few quickly because I'm almost done. Y'all want these? Okay, here's the next one: lust. The Greek word for lust is epithumia. And it means a craving, a passionate longing, desire, or impulse to— watch this— to have anything that does not belong to you. And that can be a woman, a man, somebody else's house, somebody else's car, somebody else's position. You can lust after an office. You can lust after somebody's money, somebody's status, somebody's position, not the will of God. 1 John 2:16, 2:16, the New Living Translation. Y'all, excuse me. Y'all still with me online or y'all ran away? I hope y'all still here. Watch this. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father but are from this world. So when you're craving anything that brings you physical pleasure I had a man tell me one time, he said, you, you could lust after your wife. I said, dude, I'm supposed to want her. I mean, the Bible said marriage, the bed is undefiled. But he broke it down to me. He said, yeah, you're right. He said, but if all— he said, first of all, let me ask a question. Is Is sex the only part of marriage? I said no. Money, communication, sex, love, all these things are part of marriage. He said, so if you having sex all day and doing nothing else because of your lust, and you're not providing, you're not communicating, then you're lusting trying to please your flesh and not the marriage. Watch this. Matter of fact, you're only there for physical pleasure. Not that I was doing that, but I, I just was questioning the lust piece for a wife, and I was younger then, but I understand it now because it's balanced. Because you can be lusting for something and it takes you out of order. Yeah, the Jezebel spirit of seduction woos you away from Jesus. Watch this. And his purpose, whether it be for marriage or anything else, through idolatry, you can start worshiping the income, worshiping the money, worshiping the fame, worshiping the position. And that's Jezebel at work. So much more than red fingernails and makeup, right? Cuz, and what, what the enemy does, he knows what you like, he knows what God brought you out of. He can't tempt me with weed, right? You can't come up to me and say, Apostle, let's have a blunt together. That's not going to happen. That's not gonna happen because I'm not tempted by that. I ain't never— I don't even know what it do to you. Never done it ever in my life. You can't tempt me with alcohol. You can't say, 'Boss, let's have a drink and let's have a discussion.' I'm gonna be drinking water. Are y'all hearing this? 'Cause I have no desire for that. It brings me no pleasure. Can't tempt me with crack, can't tempt me with none of that. But there's a time in my life where I could be very tempted by a fine woman. Are y'all hearing this? Okay, y'all, okay, let me move on, man. Y'all okay? I'm just telling you I'm older, I'm free now, can't get me there no more anyway. They try because the enemy thinks that can work, but I don't care how fine you are, it ain't gonna work. But there's a time— that's what the Bible said— when you're drawn away of your own lust and entice, it bring forth sin. So you gotta want it. And there's a lot of people who get hoodwinked by Jezebel because of what they want. Go to Mark 6:21-24. I'm gonna read this real quick, because Jezebel is constantly trying to lure us away with sexual immorality, self-dependence, and self-importance. Let's read this. Finally, the opportune time came. On his birthday, Herod gave a banquet for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. Okay, y'all, stripper and everything else happened. Okay, she pleased him and the guests. Okay, the king said to the girl— everything in the Bible, stripping, hoeing, everything is right there. Okay, when the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. And watch, watch the manipulation here. Watch the spirit of Jezebel. Ask me anything you want and I'll give it to you. Because she done danced and she done slept in with him and she done used what she got to get what she want. Some of y'all saw that movie. Lord save the children in this church. And he promised her with an oath, whatever you ask, I will give you. Watch this, up to half my kingdom. What she was rolling with. I'm— good God Almighty, she— he said, I'm gonna give you up to half my kingdom. That's how strong this Jezebel spirit is. She went out and said to her mother, what shall I ask for? The head of John the Baptist, she answered. That's the Jezebel spirit wanting to kill the prophet that's crying loud in the wilderness. So the whole— the spirit is operating through the sex The self-dependence, and through mama who gives the final word to kill the prophet. Y'all see this? That's why you got to be careful. And let me say to men watching, even when you commit adultery, it's never a secret. Don't let these— oh my God, don't let these chicks tell you— oh Jesus— that they gonna— dang, I ain't gonna tell nobody. Preacher, stop being stupid. It's not a secret. They are going to tell. Are y'all hearing this? And you gonna be exposed because the Jezebel spirit is after the prophetic voice. This is why you see prophets falling and messing up, because the spirit is after their voice. To discredit them. Almost out, almost out, y'all. Stay with me just a few moments. Here's the next one: fear. Oh my God. 2 Timothy 1:7, for God has not given us a spirit of fear, cowardice from fright. In other words, he has not made you a coward where you run away from assignment, run away from purpose. God didn't give you that. He gave you power, exousia, authority, love, agape. So you don't have to be afraid because God loves you perfectly, right? And a sound mind. That word sound mind is sophronismos in Greek. It means a well-balanced intellectual mind. So none of us are crazy. God gave us the gift of intellect. Are y'all hearing this? We just got to use it. Luke 20. Okay, all right. So, cause fear fuels Jezebel's activities, and it's what gives the spirit strength. That's why whenever she manifests, you cannot back down. You have to expose her and make that spirit clear that you know she operating. Y'all with me? Because you can't give this spirit no strength because it'll wreak havoc. Luke 21:26, the Bible said men's hearts fail them for fear. Not your ticker, physical heart, but your soul, your passions, your appetites. People start doing the wrong stuff and come subject to life really that they don't want to be living because they're afraid of Jezebel. She made them fear that they missing something. Listen, there's no better life than life in God. We ain't missing nothing. Glory to God. I had somebody ask me one time, they said, you saved? I said, yeah, you're not, because trying to make me feel like there's something wrong with me. No, you ain't saying— let me tell you how to get what I got, because it's— this is a good thing. Amen. He's saying, look at those things which come on the earth, earthly possessions, for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. So when we look after lust, after what's on earth, the powers of heaven can be shaken. So we gotta stay focused on the kingdom. All right, last— oh my, I'm almost done, y'all. 1 Kings 19, beginning verse 1. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done. Ahab was a wimp, and because he wouldn't stand up, Jezebel wouldn't shut up. And we need to deal with that Ahab spirit in the church. We got to confront this demon. And withal, how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent the messenger to Elijah saying, so let the gods do to me and more also if I make not your life as the one life of one of them by tomorrow this time. In other words, let the gods kill me If I don't kill you— she hates prophets. And when he saw that, he arose and went for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a juniper tree. And he requested for himself that he might die and said, it is enough now, O Lord, take my life away, for I am not better than my fathers. Here's this next one. This is a weapon she uses: discouragement, where you lose confidence or enthusiasm. Watch this, you don't even want to live no more. When people be talking about they're suicidal, that suicide demon is fueled by the Jezebel spirit. Let me tell you something. If a person gonna kill themselves, they ain't gonna have no long conversation with you about it. If a person already at that point, they just gonna end it. They're not gonna call you saying, crying to my— I'm about to kill myself, please come over. No, no, that's, that's not You really— they really don't want to take themselves out. Now, I'm not saying don't go to their aid, but what I am saying, they're really— their life really is not threatened. Now, Elijah had the audacity and the unmitigated gall to ask God to take his life. He still has purpose. He's still got to prophesy because he's discouraged and afraid of Jezebel. I have to admit, I've been through some seasons in my life and I said to God, heaven would be better. I said it to him, heaven would be better. But I understand that was the Jezebel spirit trying to take my voice out of the earth. Are y'all with me? See, because what discouragement does, your mind gets idle and you start thinking about the outcome of where you are versus what God can do. And then you get depressed. Are you hearing me? So it discourages you, depresses you, then it causes a detour. That's what this spirit does. Then you start taking shortcuts with your life. And that's all she wanted to do was get you on a road that wasn't God's plan. And ultimately you're destroyed. Your purpose is destroyed. The thief come not but for to kill, steal, and destroy. Y'all hear me? So our weapons against perversion, lust, fear, and discouragement is really simple. This is the weapon. It's a word from the Lord. You have to be clear that you actually have a word from God. And when he speaks, you have to obey, because these spirits and the spirit of Jezebel— and no matter what weapon she launches, they cannot stand against a person who stands in faith with what God has said. And I'm gonna say this, it's not what you thought he said. You need to know it was him. My sheep know my voice, and a stranger they will not follow. What makes it strange? When it's out of alignment with God's word, you know that's not God. So stop telling yourself it's God, and it's Listen, God can't speak to Pastor Jeffrey. He won't speak to him. He probably could if he would do it, but he won't do it and tell him leave Zion and then tell me leave Felicia so Pastor Jeffrey can be with Felicia. Ain't that some foolish, crazy, perverted ignorance God wouldn't do that foolishness, but there are people who will believe a strange spirit and a familiar spirit and call it God. You got to know when he's speaking, man. That's why you got to spend time with him. That's why we have to pray. Watch this, 1 Kings 19:5. And as he lay and slept under the juniper tree, behold, the angel— watch this— touched him and said, this is a word from the Lord: Arise and eat. So you've been discouraged and depressed. You need to get up from here and eat, not go prophesy. There's a prophet. Now go try to help folk. Go eat, because if you don't eat, you won't be able— strong enough to withstand this battle. This is a message for some folk who are still trying to lead folk broken. You've been hurt, but you're trying to lead other people. You need to know you need to sit down and eat. Get up out of your discouragement and eat so you'll be strong to handle this battle. Touch yourself, say, arise and eat. That's why we have to come to settings like this and be— come together and learn, because we're eating. It's time to eat when we come here. We, you know, and a lot of times when I'm teaching I am comical because that's a part of who I am, but I also am deliberate in it a lot of times because some things I teach can be heavy and it can't be digested. So I put inside of it a comedic tension so that you can digest more of what is being said. Some people don't know how to bounce back from that. When we laugh, we're laughing. It's time to laugh. It's a time to laugh. But when it's time to be serious, we got to know how to separate the two. Are y'all hearing this? Because we're eating. We're— we're— this is soul food. Last scripture, Amos 9:13. I'm reading out a message, and I'm sorry I chose the message. That's the one the Lord gave me. Is the longest version of all of them. He said, yes indeed, it won't be long now. That's why Jezebel is attacking. That's why she's coming against your finances, your home, our church, because it won't be long now. Thank you, Lord. Oh, I need somebody to say that. Say yes indeed. It won't be long now. And God's decree, things are gonna happen so fast your head will swim. I receive that in the name of Jesus. I don't care what the manipulative spirit of Jezebel throws at my life. I decree and declare tonight that it won't be long now, and things are beginning to accelerate, and they're going to happen so fast that my head is going to swim. I speak that over you in this room. I speak that over every person watching. I decree and declare it won't be long now. Hallelujah! That things are about to happen so fast your head is going to swim, which means you ain't gonna know how— my God— how to handle all of the blessings and breakthrough that God's about to send your way. I need you to touch yourself, say it's about to happen for me now. He said one thing fast on the heels of the other. I'm telling you, this stuff is about to come back to back to back. That's why the enemy hates us. That's why he don't like this church. That's why he don't like vision, because he knows God's about to do some stuff back to back to back. Every time— in other words, every time you turn around Blessing. Every time you turn around, breakthrough. Every time you turn around, open door. Every time you turn around, a way made. I wish you touch yourself and say, it won't be long now. Oh boy, I need you to receive that tonight. He said you won't be able to keep up. That's a lot. You ain't gonna be able to count it. You're gonna be able to keep up with it. You won't have enough stock or inventory to put it up because God says, I'm gonna bless socks off. And so don't be intimidated. Glory to God. When lust show up, fear show up, eunuchs show up— oh, y'all ain't got to say nothing— discouragement comes, he says, I'm about to do something and everything will happen at once. And everywhere you look, blessings, blessings like wine pouring up, just pouring off the mountain and hills. Glory, which means the grapes have already been crushed and the wine is already flowing. Glory to See, there, there, there are two things that God leaves for us with legacy. When he leaves, he leaves oil, which is the anointing, and he leaves wine. Wine represents consistent relationship and blessing. So God says, I'mma consistently flow relationship and blessing into your life like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. He said, I'm gonna make everything right again for my people Israel. They'll rebuild their ruined cities, they'll plant vineyards and drink good wine, they'll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables. And I'll plant them and plant them on their own land. There shall never again be uprooted from the land I have given them. God, your God, says so. That one, a prophecy that came out of my belly. That's the word of the Lord. It won't be long now, rather, church. It won't be long for us as a corporate body, and as for you as individual, everything that you thought was over and that had been ruined. God said, I'm about to cause the wine and the oil to flow, and things will never be the same. Hallelujah! Let's pray. Glory to God. And we're gonna get out here. Father, we thank you for this word tonight, and we bind and rebuke the spirit of perversion, eunuchs with no power and just chatter. We ask, and we decree and declare, we have victory in the name of Jesus. Even as Jehu said to the eunuchs, throw her out the window. And the hordes of heaven will trample upon her. So Father, we thank you for the hordes of heaven trampling upon every spirit that's not like you, that comes to hinder us, that comes to destroy us, that comes to stop your promise. We declare loss, discouragement will not stop our forward movement. Thank you that corporately we will arise and eat. Thank you, God, that one thing on the heels of another is gonna make our head swim, and we receive it now in the name of Jesus. So much we won't even be able to keep up. And we give you the glory for it, Lord, and we thank you in Jesus' name. Just shout, I receive it! So I have victory over the Jezebel spirit. Come on, clap your hands and praise him like you got it. Hallelujah! We're going home. We're gonna give really quickly. Just whatever you have. If you're still online, get your seed in the ground. Radachurch.com/donate. If you want to use our Cash App, it's Radachurch. However you choose to give today, make a sacrifice unto the Lord. Father, we thank you for every gift and every giver right now. Maybe return to them a thousand times more. And we thank you that we don't lack a thing, neither do we have a care, but all of our needs are met and we have the desires of our heart. Father, I thank you for the people that have come out tonight and made a sacrifice to be in this room on a Thursday. Thank you for those that wanted to be here and perhaps something happened, they couldn't, and we're praying for those that's just plum lazy and just didn't come. But Father, and we bind that spirit in the name of Jesus. Give us a diligence to arise and eat and to forsake not the assembly of ourselves together as the manner of some is. And we bless you for it. Every time we assemble, we send a testimony to the world. That Jesus is Lord, because we come together around his name, and it lets people know when they see cars parked on a Sunday and a Thursday night that we've come to give God praise. So Father, we thank you and we magnify your name and we glorify you, Lord. God, as we go home tonight, may your spirit go before us. Make our way smooth, successful, and prosperous until we meet again here on Sunday. Touch my sinuses to heal it. I receive it now in the name of Jesus. Touch every person under the sound of my voice and make them whole in Jesus' name. Amen. You are dismissed. Thank you.
