Or whether you're watching the podcast on I want you to share the podcast, or you're listening to it, share it with someone. Because a lot of times we're not clear of the spirit that's behind things. And, uh, a lot of things is happening in our world today, there's a strong spirit behind it. And I want to begin to talk about that today. I was going to go another direction, but I think it's very important that we understand this spirit, we discern its abilities. And we come to understand really how to defeat it. Glory to God.

I am absolutely live. This is not prerecorded. I need you to share this. This word is going to be revolutionary, and I'm not going to get it all in today. I'm going to have to spend the rest of the week really unpacking this. But we need to get a clear understanding on why we see so many things— pestilence, disease, a systematic racism, a division in the church, people not going to church, a coronavirus. There is a spirit behind it. Your personal struggles in your family, your financial issues, your struggles within ministry with other leaders, with people not understanding you— there's a spirit behind it, and we want to talk about it today. And I promise you, you're going to be blessed and you're going to receive from the Lord. I love every one of you, I'm telling you, I really, really do. Praise God, it's such a great mighty thing to be saved. Hallelujah, it's a wonderful thing to be born again. Hallelujah, God bless you everyone. Again, say hello everybody, uh, again. Hey Mamie, hey, um, Miss Mallory, God bless you, welcome. Come on in, everybody. Please share this. This word is going to be phenomenal. Let's pray, and then we're gonna give— oh yeah, I feel the Lord. I feel Jesus today. Glory to God. I feel it. Oh, brisket. We give you the glory, God. And we give you honor, we give you great praise, God. And beside you there is no other. It's in you we live, it's in you we move, it's in you, Father, we have our being. You're our help, you're our strength, you're the glory and the lifter of our head. And so, Father, in Jesus' name We pray to you now, hallelujah, that you would anoint every ear, oh my, to hear what the Spirit would say to the church. God, do something, oh my God, that man cannot do. Saturate our minds and our heart, God. Make to receive the word of the living God. And I pray, dear God, that you will cause this word to go out, hallelujah, whether by YouTube, Facebook, whether through our podcast. Dear God, I'm asking you that this word would go out with power. And God, you said in your word you sent the word and it healed them. So I'm thanking you right now for healing. I'm thanking you for deliverance. I'm thanking you, Father, for breakthrough in the mighty name of Jesus. And Satan, we declare you are defeated. Hallelujah. And God is exalted in Jesus' mighty name. Amen and thanks be to God. Glory be to God. Thank you, Jesus. Well, I'm so grateful and I'm so happy that we're here and we're able to share the word today. Do me a favor, guys, I need you to share this whether you're watching live or by replay. I need you to share this teaching. It's going to be absolutely, uh, phenomenal. So you need to come in And, uh, this is a subject, praise the name of God, that many times is not, uh, discussed or talked about by a lot of people. And so today I want to really lay some foundation, glory to God, and help you understand that behind every manifestation— hear me— there is a spirit at work. and in particular the spirit of Jezebel. Hallelujah! It operates behind the scenes to— watch this— control national events most of all. And I want to show you how, how this spirit works, how it operates, and how we are to strategize against Jezebel's weapons. All right, there's normally a message I would teach as a precursor to this But as I was praying today and going over my notes, the Lord said, no, you teach this one first, and then if the Lord leads, we'll go back and teach the other pieces to actually understanding Jezebel. But I think you'll get a lot of information in this particular teaching that I know you need. So first of all, let me share with you that we are in a war, okay? We're really in a war. This is a real spiritual warfare going on. Uh, we're not, um, in this thing playing games. Glory to God. Uh, we're not playing church. Uh, we're— there's a real war, ladies and gentlemen, going on. All right, now if you're watching me live, do me a favor, just type on the screen for me. Just let me know you're here and type on the screen, there's a war going on. Hallelujah! There is a real war in the heavenlies going on. It is a battle. Literally between the spirit of Elijah and the spirit of Jezebel. Now here's what you understand. The spirit of Elijah, Elijah, it is the mouthpiece of El, or Jah. The I represents humanity, but it's the prophetic mouthpiece that is wrapped in God. Okay, wrapped. El Jah is wrapped in God's ability to articulate and share What's this? What's to come? Solutions, answers. And so what Jezebel constantly does, if indeed, um, you understand the prophetic and the apostolic, she works consistently behind the scenes and many times and right under our nose to try to control the prophetic and the apostolic authority that does really exist in the earth. Now we got a lot of apostles and prophets out here that's just carrying the title and don't move in any authority. They prophesy and have no authority. Hallelujah. They are apostles, amen, that they should carry. They carry the title but not the government that comes with the title. And that's a whole nother teaching. But at the end of the day, Jezebel wants to stop anybody that's doing anything for God. And she is very strategic. She is very deliberate. And I say this because the Jezebel spirit is not a woman or a man, but Jezebel in the Bible was a woman, but so there's a level of femininity— watch this— that comes with the manifestation of the spirit. And that's— I'm gonna get in that, it's deeper in the teaching. But I want you to understand, as Jezebel strategizes, as Jezebel's trying— listen, the enemy doesn't want to see your life move forward. The enemy wants you stuck. The enemy wants you stagnated. And what this spirit does it controls circumstances so you cannot move. All right, and at the end of the day, praise the name of the living God, God wants us to realize that if we're going to be victorious, we need a complete understanding of the weapons— glory to the name of God— that Jezebel uses to fight us. All right, and we need to understand that we must be preemptive in our strike against her, which means when we know how Jezebel is operating, we got to be preemptive in how we retaliate against her strategies. Are you hearing me today? So here we go. I'm gonna teach this. We got a few people on, but I'm gonna teach it. Those that will get it later will get it later, but I need to just jump in this and teach this. Let's go to 2 Corinthians 10:4. We're going to go through some scripture today, and what I'm going to do today, I want to expose Jezebel's weapons. I want to show you exactly how she works, how this spirit operates, and I want to show you how we can strategize and be preemptive against her weaponry, against her attacks against us. Watch this. My God, I'm telling you, this is going to be good. So 2 Corinthians 10:4, I'm reading, my Bible is over here if you see me turn. Glory to God. The scripture declares the weapons we fight with— listen to this, listen— the weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. Uh-oh. So there's a battle going on again in the heavenlies. Hallelujah. And our weapons that we fight with, they're not worldly. We can't retaliate against Jezebel with anything in the earth realm. We must retaliate against this spirit with heavenly authority. And watch this— our weapons, according to the text, has divine power, azusia, divine authority to demolish strongholds. Now let me just break down that word strongholds right quick. The word stronghold is from a Greek word actually that means to keep what's inside inside and what's outside outside. And the spirit of Jezebel works heavily through strongholds because if you can get clarity in your thinking, if you can build up your spiritual intelligence by letting new information in, new revelation in, you will have the spiritual intelligence to defeat your enemies. But what Jezebel does keeps us locked into old patterns, old molds, and old ways of thinking, to keep what's in, in, and what's out, out. That's what a strong— it's a wall that's built up to keep what you already know in and keep what's out, out. And at the end of the day, we need to pull down the strongholds that keep us from tapping into new revelation and new information. Watch this— and new weapons to fight. Listen, you can't fight a World War III with World War II weapons. You can't do it. You just, you just can't do it, all right? You, you cannot do it. You gotta have up-to-date weaponry. Hallelujah. So you can— hear me good when I say this— so you can adequately war against— amandeke sia— the strategies that the enemy has put together to bring you down. And he— watch this— the enemy is not playing fair because he knows who you are. So the stuff that he's sending is subtle, is cunning, is well strategized, because he does not want to see you move into who you really are. So let's move into this. Let's go, let's go. So let's— let me just get a quick definition, a working definition. Um, for those of you that's joining us, do me a favor and share this, please. Whether you're watching by YouTube, Rother Church Facebook page, or this personal Facebook page, I need you to share this. Glory to God, this is very, very important. So let's, let's get a definition of this word Jezebel, this name Jezebel. The name in Hebrew, Jez Rebel. Watch this, it literally means where is the king or where is the prince. So that's the first indication of this name shares with us that people— watch this— who become subject to this spirit are first people who refuse to submit to authority because Jezebel And this is the idleness that this spirit uses to get in and begin to manipulate your life. Because when you can look at people and propose a question, where is the— where's the king? Where's the order? Where's the thing that's governing you? Every person, I don't care how anointed you are, listen to me. You should— you can have the anointing running out of your big toe, running out of your ears, running out of your nostrils, coming out of your mouth. You could blow on people and the whole auditorium fall out like Benny Hinn. But let me tell you something. Every anointed person needs someone else to help govern the anointing in their life. We should be able to locate where you come from. We should be able to locate your lineage. Glory to God! There ought to be somebody that validates you, that's authentic. Hallelujah! That just— that's not validating you because they know that's what you want to hear, but validates you because you're truly who you are, and you're truly who God says you are. Praise God. And they validate you based on those premises, not because they want a relationship with you, so they validate you. No, we need people who are willing to subject themselves to God's authority and the authority in the earth that God will place over their life. Every apostle needs an apostle. Come on, every pastor needs an apostle. Every prophet needs an apostle. Every evangelist needs an apostle. Oh, I'm gonna take it deeper. Every teacher needs an apostle. But watch this, every entrepreneur needs an apostle. Ha! Glory to God! Every entrepreneur needs an apostle that walks in the government of God. Hear me, hear me when I tell you, that walks in the government of God, that's able to help you bring to pass. Because apostles have pleni-potentiary power and status. They are stratospheric warriors who are sent from God— watch this— to take what is prophetically over your life and institute government and strategy to bring to pass— oh my God— what you're carrying. And so many people— watch this— have not brought forth what God has called them to bring forth because— oh my God— Oh my Jesus, because they have missed the fact that they really need an apostle that can see past them, see what they are in the prophetic realm, and begin to exercise government and plans and strategies to bring to pass the prophecy over your life. Yeah, I know somebody that always says, oh, I'm waiting for this prophecy over my life to come to pass. But here's the problem with this, this woman She has a lot of prophecies over life. And matter of fact, all the years she's been in ministry, she should really be much further than she is right now. But the reality is she's stuck in a pattern, cannot break past her position because she refuses to submit to earthly authority to help bring to pass the government. Oh my God. Governmental strategies from heaven that are in her belly. I believe every prophecy over her life is going to come to pass. but it will not happen until the strategy comes from someone who operates in a spirit of mentorship over this person. Are y'all hearing me? Oh my God, oh my God, Lord have mercy. Okay, so let's move. So it means where's the king? That's what Jezebel means. Where's the prince? Where is the leadership? Jezebel refuses to submit to authority. She refuses to submit even to her own husband, the king, the prince. She won't submit to anybody. It's the same with the spirit. And then people will not submit when they're out here trying to do it their way. Oh my God, watch this. And even, even when you submitted to the wrong thing, you're flowing in the spirit of Jezebel. Ah, and many of your dreams, I'm telling you, live or by replay, are stuck right now. Because, because you, you're sitting in a position where you refuse to submit to authority. And some of you in the church and you still ain't submitted to your leaders. God have mercy. You still ain't submit. You there, pay your taxes, but you don't submit. You ain't submitted. You do what you want to do. So here's the essence. This is how that spirit gets in. It also means without cohabitation. Watch this. That means Jezebel will not fellowship. This spirit feels like it can operate alone and do it by itself. It feels like it really doesn't need any help. It never obeys instructions. It doesn't understand the iron sharpens iron principle. It doesn't understand the know those who labor among you principle. It wants to make it happen themselves. Why? So they could get all of the credit, so they can get all of the glory. This, you know, this is not popular, man, and a lot of people gonna scroll past it because they want to keep doing what they want to do. But for those of— for the few members that I have and a few partners around the world that I have, I need y'all to be in line. I'm dealing with a situation right now, glory to the name of God, and it's troubling my spirit. Because you can have people who say— watch this— I got about maybe 78, 2 of them I'm not counting, glory to God, because they still say I'm their spiritual father, that I'm their apostle, but they won't submit. They, they do what they want to do. They won't get on conference calls. So I'm battling with things, then I'm battling with Things where people want to walk in areas that they're really not called to. And some of these people were in these positions when I met them, but the more I prayed, the more I discern where they really are. They're really not that— few of them call themselves apostles, and these are my sons and daughters. They're not apostles. So I'm battling with how do we deal with this? How do we get them back in the right place? Because We don't want them walking in disorder because that's the idle mind that allows Jezebel to come in. Glory to God. I got to get through this. I know many people at work and they'll catch it later. Watch this. Jezebel also means the offspring of Baal. God have mercy. Oh my God. Baal is an idol god, and an idol is anything you worship outside of God. And so you got a lot of people who open their lives up to the spirit because instead of worshiping God, guess what they do? They're crazy. It's crazy. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call people crazy. It's crazy. This is a crazy premise that— and people do this, okay? It's crazy. People start worshiping man. They start worshiping their leaders. They start setting a man up as— every time you put an idol before God that's in human form, he's going to show you they are a human. He's going to show you they're human. So don't worship men because they have gifts, because they have authority, because they have power. You worship God and him alone. Anything you worship outside of God is an idol. Baal was an idol. Jezebel worshiped Baal. Hmm, watch it, she even had false prophets. Oh Lord, have mercy. See, when you start idolizing a system, a human— watch this— if, uh-oh, you're subjugating yourself to idleness here. Oh, you're subjugating yourself to idleness. Hear me, let me unbutton my collar. Glory to God. You're subjugating yourself to idleness. Listen to me. When you put a system before God— watch this— when you put the world's way of doing things and you, you prioritize doing things the world way before you go to scripture, before you pray and do it God's way, that's idol. And you open yourself up to this Jezebel spirit. Oh my God. Okay, Jezebel. I gotta move— is a liar, all right? Jezebel is a murderer. Jezebel is a deceiver. Jezebel is a witch. She's a manipulator, and she hates authority. And her ultimate quest is to destroy the prophetic voice and to disarm the apostolic mantle that rests upon authentic apostles. This is her claim to fame, and this is her and her children and her gods. That's what they seek to do. Now, if you're doing anything for God, Jezebel wants to pervert that. She wants to destroy that. She wants to distract you. She wants to discredit your character. She wants to create delays, make things take longer than they need to. These are sure signs Jezebel is at work. When stuff is delayed, when you're distracted, can't focus, because this is what she does. Hallelujah. When you're, when you're taking shortcuts, you got detours, and ultimately what happens, the whole purpose is destroyed, it's perverted. You out here doing something you really don't— shouldn't be doing. Because Jezebel is in control at this point. Let me talk to you, ladies and gentlemen. This is real. When you look at your life and you see unfruitful areas, you think— see things not working, let me make you absolutely and categorically clear of something. There is a spirit behind it. Listen, let me get in this mic real good. It's not just not working. It's not working because there's a spirit stopping it. And the only reason that spirit can operate is because you, my friends, start moving in idleness. Lord have mercy. Help us, help us, help us, God. So let's expose these weapons. I'm gonna go through them real quick. What are the weapons of Jezebel? How does she work? Hallelujah. How did— this is really not an exhaustive list. It's not a lot. I mean, it's not all of them, but I'm gonna give you the ones I think are main line to how she functions, how this spirit moves, how this spirit operates. The first one, I want you to go to Matthew 17:17, and I'm going to show you this one. The first one says, according to the text, that she moves in perversion. Perversion. Perversion is two words: per and version. Per deals with authenticity, it deals with originality, it deals with— praise the name of God— that which was first. All right, so if this be the case, let me help you, let me help you today. If this be the case, come on church, It simply means to create another version, another version of the authentic, which means you go out and do something outside of what God originally authenticated for your life. You're operating in a purpose that wasn't God's plan. Are you hearing me? And perversion is dangerous. Because you were created to actually operate under the auspices of only one version, the version God decided. Come on, church! Whoa! I need y'all to share this, please. Live or by replay, please share this. Listening to the podcast, share it, because there are a lot of people out here living a life I ask people a lot, how are you doing? And they'll say, well, I'm just trying to make it. That should never be your response to life. You, you should be living the life God created for you. That's why you're here. And the biggest deception of Jezebel is to make you believe that you're on the right course. See, a lot of people thought Jezebel was red fingernail polish, a red dress. That's what the old preacher taught. It was convenient, glory to God, but it's not the truth, okay? At the end of the day, Jezebel is control, manipulation that only wants to murder you, murder your purpose, murder your dream. Even if you stay alive, she don't care. She just don't want you to manifest the authentic plan of God. That's what this demon does, this stronghold. But I'm here today to break it in the name of Jesus. And I'm here today to declare to you that if you would submit yourself to God's authority and just be what— listen, if you're not an apostle, accept that. Come on, come on, man of God, come on, woman of God. If that's not who you are, I need you to stop saying that's who you are and let's find the authentic. Listen, we need to be— some of you working jobs and you authentically called to own a business. Come on now, listen, where's your faith? If God put the dream in you, let's step out and do it. Let's find the resources to get it done. You'll never know how great it could have been until you step out and start doing it. Some people are being controlled by— see, you thought perversion was just two men together or two women together. Now that's perverted. It's another version of the authentic. It's perverted for a man would a wife to sleep with multiple women? Because the original plan for marriage was that that man be— oh my God— be with that woman and that woman alone. And so the whore that's committing adultery repeatedly over and over again is just as bad— are y'all not hearing me— as the homosexual and the lesbian who, when it comes down to perversion, it's all perverted. It's all leaving the authentic. So I don't want nobody say I'm picking on the gays. No, I ain't picking on the gays. I'm just telling you perversion is perversion, whether it's gay perversion or straight perversion, it's perversion. One more, here we go. Uh-oh, it's perversion, husband. Watch this. When You're supposed to be the leader in your house, man. I'm telling— I don't know what you got to do, brother. Glory to God. But you should be the king. Kings govern. Kings rule. Kings decree. And when kings speak, what the king says becomes law. Are you hearing me? I'm gonna say that again. Kings govern. King speak, and whatever the king says becomes law. So husband, man, you should be the king in your house. Glory to God. Now the queen has input, she's your helpmate. You make dialogue and you communicate and you have to make decisions with her, but the ultimate decree should rest with you. Stop being him-packed. Stop feeling like you owe this woman something and start leading. Some men are weak because they refuse to lead. They feel like because they made a mistake in the past, if they try to leave, she's gonna leave. Or if I, if I do this— oh, y'all not talking to me here— she's not going to respond. You got to put, put your big boy drawers on, brother, and you got to become a leader. You should be a king in your house. It's perverted when your wife is in control of the house. I'm gonna say that one more time. It's perverted. It's pervert— listen, my wife and I have super relationship. We talk, we communicate, but she respects me as king. I'm not saying I control her. No, I'm saying I lead, I govern, and that's what you should do as a man. Stop— oh my God, oh my God, stop being weak. Come on, man, get it together. Watch this. You should be the priest of your house. Ah, which means, oh my God, you should be the intercessor. Yeah, God, help, help, help, help, help, help, help. You should be the one that takes the family before God. And a priest is just an intercessor. Priest is not the dude running around with the collar on all day. That's not the priest. That's a— that's Roman Catholic preach. That is that. But listen, it's not what the Bible is talking about when it says— talks about a man, glory to the name of God, hallelujah, carrying his family, hallelujah, to the place of atonement. That in a Jewish custom, you couldn't have a family if you did not carry what your family was carrying before God and atone for them. You carried it as the man to the high priest. Watch this. As a man, you need to be strong, brother. That's perversion. That's how— I'm just trying to show you how the spirit gets in and starts taking— listen, you got to be strong. Listen, women, you powerful praying women, especially you single ones that love God, I need you in your prayer time to pray that God will stop allowing women to settle for a man just because he a man. Listen, you need a man of God. You need a man of prayer. You need a man that's bold enough to take you by the hand and say, oh, and bring you up into the realm of the spirit and show you the glorious things of God. You need a man that's got a relationship with God, because if he's a priest, he's gonna always intercede for you and on your behalf and keep you covered. Oh my God, as much as I have to go and be out of town and travel, glory to the name of God, I keep my wife covered. I keep angels surrounded about her all day long. Glory to God. And no one can come near her because those angels are with her all day. Accident can't come near her because I'm her priest. I'm not gonna let perversion come in and let her be— outrun me in prayer, outrun me in study. Listen, women, you ought to want a man. Oh no, God's gonna give me a man, I'm gonna birth him out in the spirit. Okay, yeah, all right, yeah, there's some great preachers that was talking that stuff and they single again. Come on, because it's impossible. It's really impossible because it's perverted. You just need to find somebody that can be a leader. He's— he exists. You don't have to settle. You need someone on your level. And for those of you that are already in the relationship and you the stronger one spiritually, you pray more than he do, stop making excuses for him. I'm gonna say that again, stop making excuses for him and put a demand on him to become an intercessor. Oh my God, put a demand on him to touch heaven for your family. So then watch this, because after becoming a priest, this dude comes back as a prophet, and he could prophesy what God said when he was in the presence of God. And after prophet, he's a provider. Oh boy. So some of you just settle for the provider. Oh, that's all you need? You want your bills paid? Listen, no, no, you need more than that. You need a king, you need a priest, you need a prophet, anything else, and you need a provider. Anything else is perverted. And this is how Jezebel gets in. Let's read Matthew 17:17. Somebody type that on the screen for me. Glory to God. Hallelujah. I feel the Lord. God bless you, Cynthia. Thank you. I thank you for the witness. Glory to God. Listen, Matthew 17:17. This message ain't popular, y'all. I'm telling you right now, it ain't popular. Glory to the name of God. Because people don't want to be called out. They don't want to— listen, I just want you to be better. Listen, I don't want to see Jezebel working in your life. Listen, most people who flow in this are insecure. They have fear issues and they trying to control everything. They very seldom walk by faith, very seldom take risks. But watch this, the Bible said this, Matthew 17:17, it said, and Jesus answering and said, you believing, unbelieving, and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to me. Now, you to understand the complete story behind this text, listen. These apostles came up against a boy that was vexed with a devil. They could not cast the devil out, so they went to get Jesus. Listen, because they was operating in perversion, they were unbelieving. They were fearful. Watch this. They only watched Jesus do this before, but they never put into practice— hallelujah— the things that Jesus taught them to institute, to actually be able to duplicate what he did. So watch this. This text is showing us— God bless you, James Kendrick. God bless you, Bruce. God bless you, Queen Valentina. Welcome everybody. God bless you, Natisha Lowery. I'm glad you're here. Stay with me, guys. Glory to God. Whether you're live on my Facebook page or by replay, I need everybody to stay with me. Glory to God. So this text is telling us in Matthew 17:17 that one, perversion extracts God and it eliminates power. Jesus said, how long am I going to bear with you? Which means if you're perverted and unbelieving, Jesus said, I can't continue to be a part of this. Oh my God, he said at some point I'mma jet, I'm out of here. I can't keep being a part of this because you're living a perverted life. Uh-oh, the Holy Ghost messing with me, so I gotta drop this on y'all. Oh, I, I, I hit earlier the perverted homosexuals, the lesbians, the whoremongers. Yeah, it's perverted. It's perverted if it's not the original intent of God. But I missed somebody. The Holy Ghost has brought to my mind, oh, masturbator. Oh, masturbator. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. I know, don't scroll, don't scroll. This is your deliverance right here. Get off that computer watching porn. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Get off your phone watching porn. Praise God. And masturbating. Listen, God. Come on, masturbator, you need deliverance. Whether you're watching live or by replay or listening to the podcast, you need deliverance. Masturbation is perversion. It's, it's unnatural affection. You were designed to be pleased by someone of the opposite sex, not yourself. And oh boy, and let me take you deeper. If you're masturbating— masturbation— you're becoming a master. You're in control of your sexual fulfillment. The— oh my God, the word for fornication is porne, which it doesn't deal with penetration. All fornication is not penetration. Some fornication is masturbation because you get a picture in your mind of where you'd rather be, and then you take the job into your own hands and you fulfill your own sexual lust. Oh boy, I'm teaching better than y'all saying amen. If y'all here, I need y'all to give me some hearts something and like you ain't frozen. Glory to God. Listen, I know— listen, I know this is hard stuff, but I'm trying to get perversion out of your life. Listen, master— somebody said, oh well, that's what I do, I'm single, I masturbate. Some people say, oh, they masturbate so they cannot sin. You are sinning, ma'am, with your toys. Yeah, you're sinning. Glory to the name of God. You're coming short. Glory to— you're operating in perversion. It is unnatural affection. Oh my God, Holy Ghost, why you messing with me? That's why these folk don't like me now. Glory to God. Oh boy, this is why I don't have the most popular lives on the internet, because I'm not saying what people really want to hear. But listen, let me take you deeper. When you close your eyes and masturbate and do that to yourself. Open your eyes and see who's touching who. You're touching yourself. And if you're a man, guess what? That's man on man. If you're a woman, uh-oh, that's woman on woman. Oh my God. Okay. Oh my God. Come on, I'm just trying to help you. I just want to help you. Somebody said, oh, you in my business? Yeah, I am, I am. And because I don't want you moving in perversion, I want you to be open to the power of God, because perversion extracts God and eliminates power. Watch this, perversion is enmity against God's authority. Watch this, this is why— let me take you deeper— this is why Jezebel in— oh boy— 2 Kings 9:30, verses 30 through 33. I'm not going to go there, but you can go there later. 2 Kings chapter 9, somebody type that on the screen. 2 Kings chapter 9, verses 30 through 33. In these verses, you see this is why Jezebel used eunuchs— oh my God— as her servant. Oh, because they had been emasculated. Their authority had been cut off. Their power, hallelujah, to reproduce was gone. They were eunuchs. Are you hearing me? Eunuchs means that your private parts as a man have been cut off. Well, God, that's painful just thinking about that. Jesus, listen, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something now. Women, you single women, don't you dare settle for a man that refuses to be a man, that's become a spiritual eunuch. You're opening up your life and your marriage to the spirit of Jezebel, and he may not physically have it cut off and still have everything intact. But watch this, if your husband or the man you're dating is just as feminine as you— y'all, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, I'm gonna get in trouble. Jesus, I'm gonna get in trouble. If this dude is just as feminine as you, come on church, you need to pack your bags and run, baby. Because at the end of the day, most of the time, he don't want you. He just using you as a cover-up for what he really want. Oh my God, oh my, oh my God, come on. And again, I'm not picking on the homosexuals. I'm just telling you right now, women, I'm trying to help my single women not to get hoodwinked, not to line themselves up with a unit that ain't got no power, that ain't got no authority. Listen, this dude stay in the bathroom longer than you. And you got more things to do. You gotta put on makeup, you gotta comb your hair. You go— women go through so much stuff to get dressed. Anytime my wife is going somewhere with me, we're going to be late most of the time because she's going to take longer than I take to get ready. Listen, it's just a matter of fact, women are slow when it comes to getting clothes on. Glory to God. But if this dude is primping more than you, if he's got to put on a foundation on his face before y'all leave? Something's wrong with that picture, ma'am. You, you got— you just got yourself a eunuch. Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. Listen, let me show you what a 21st century eunuch looks like according to this text. So these were messengers of the Jezebel spirit. So Jezebel used these eunuchs to carry her messages, to perform her errands. Watch this, to deliver letters, invitations, and spread the word about her. Eunuchs are official couriers and bearers of gossip, of bad news. Watch this, eunuchs carry the things that— oh my God, oh my God— that Jezebel wants heard. They put it in the air. Uh-oh, I'm really going to get in trouble now. A man that gossips and spreads rumors and carries— watch this, people, watch this— gossipers, gossipmongers, gossip bloggers All they want to do is control the narrative about people and how people view them. And there are a lot of silly people that just buy into what is being said without really knowing the people that are being put on display. It's a dangerous place, man. This spirit can cause somebody from getting what they need from God because the church has a tendency to allow eunuchs to magnify the failure of people. Oh my God, we in, we in trouble when we, when we don't deal with this in the spirit and shut it down in the spirit. We ain't even got to say nothing, we just need to pray and shut the mouths of the eunuchs because they ain't got no power anyway. All they got is their mouth and the empowerment that Jezebel gives them. But when you submit to this It controls your life. I gotta go, man. I gotta go. I've been talking too long, ain't I? I have. I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it. So why— oh my God, watch this, y'all. So let me show you what these representatives of the spirit look like. Much like sold-out Christians who are sold out to God. All right, we're ambassadors for Jesus Christ, but these spiritual eunuchs, these demons, they're employed by the spirit of Jezebel as delegates. And just as we possess, those of us who are filled with the Holy Ghost, the fruit of the Spirit, the characteristics, characteristics of Jesus Christ, just as we possess those. Listen, these eunuchs possess the spirit of Jezebel, her character, her ways of doing things. And when Jezebel— watch this— can't be there, she sends her representatives, eunuchs, people who have no authority. She'll get in their ear to try to destroy you. Whoa, whoa! She'll get in their ear about you. Hallelujah! And send them to do the dirty work. Oh Lord, have mercy. That's what the spirit does. Watch this. You also got students of the Jezebel spirit. I'm coming quickly to a close. Eunuchs are full-time students of Jezebel's teaching. If you study the scripture, they sat under the teachings of this wicked witch. And when faced with truth that comes from the word of God, hallelujah, that comes— let me grab my Bible— that comes from this book, truth's book. What these eunuchs do who are submissive to the Jezebel spirit, my God, they run to Jezebel to get her to pervert it and twist it. See, some people— watch this— when they hear me talk about sexuality and homosexuals and lesbians and whoremongers, they'll find a way to keep masturbating, to keep whoring around on their wife. Y'all not talking to me here. To keep sleeping with other men if they're a man. To keep sleeping with women if they're a woman. And that Jezebel spirit will twist a word to make them feel good about continuing in sin because they're students of this spirit. Oh my God, watch this. Because Jezebel— hear me— she was a queen. Her students looked to her. Watch this. For biblical definitions and meanings. People who are students of Jezebel ain't gonna sit through no teaching like this because they want to continue to control their own life. They want to continue to have authority in their own life. Lord, help me today. Let's go to 1 Timothy 4:1. I got to get out of here. I got to get out of here. Glory be to God. Listen, the Bible said, 1 Timothy 4:1, now somebody type that on the screen. God bless you. Glory to the name of God. 1 Timothy 4 and verse 1. Hear this now, somebody shout now, now, right now. The Spirit speaketh expressly, hear me good, that in latter times, oh God, oh God, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. So that lets you know what I'm saying to you is true. This is not to sinners, this is to people who are already in the faith. You can't depart something you're not in. He says, so he said, a latter times will come. We're here where many will depart from the faith in this book. They'll depart from believing this book, okay? And they will give heed to seducing spirits. A seducing spirit pulls you in. It pulls you in. 1 Timothy 4:1, it pulls you in. Glory to the name of God. What we need is conducers to pull us through, not seducers that pull us into their ideology, their concepts regarding the Bible, regarding inclusion, regarding sexuality. We need to stand on this holy book. It is the only way. Lord, help me, help me. Watch this. And doctrines of devils. I'm here to tell you, I'm here to tell you right now, the teachings on inclusion is the doctrine of the devil. It came straight from the pits of hell. And watch this, the demon tormented one of our own princes in the church. And he has become a progenitor for this movement. Glory to the name of God. And he lifts up this movement like it— like he used to lift up the Bible. Matter of fact, this man was one of my favorite teachers on the planet. I learned so much from this man. My, my desire to study Greek and Hebrew came from listening to this man teach, but This spirit came, and I'm telling you, it had to torment his mind, distracted one of our own and got him into this doctrine of inclusion. Let me tell you something, it said it would deceive many. He's deceived. He believes he's right. He think it's right, man, you know. And then you got a lot of the butt-kissing preachers who want to interview him, who who wanna bring him on their platforms because they were so mesmerized by the platform he had. You know, maybe some of them feel like they can reach him. It's gonna take power to bring this dude back. It's gonna take nothing but the anointing to open his eyes again. I love him and I pray for him every day. Let me tell you how I know this thing is strong on him. I loved him so much. I read that book several times. I would listen to him. I was trying, man, to find— oh yeah, yes God! I was trying, man, to find the logic in that stuff. And Holy Ghost said, you wasting your time. You know this is not right. You just love him. You— and you don't want to depart from him. But he said, you only have a choice. Either you gonna depart from the faith— oh, glory! I feel the anointing! Or you gonna depart from him because he has betrayed me. He has come subject to the spirit of lunacy. This is what the Holy Spirit told me. So many have become students of things that lead them the wrong way. My God, whoo! I got to get out of here, man. I got to get out of here. Okay, watch this. These representatives of Jezebel— I'm trying to show your weapons. This is all on the perversion. Jezebel has centennials according to that same scripture in Kings. And guards that guard and protect Jezebel from harm. Jezebel eunuchs watch out for her. They protect, defend, and they alert Jezebel of anything that's coming at her. They run and tell. Let me tell you something, don't be a defender of what's wrong. Negative never needs evidence. Never. People, watch this, bad news travels 10 times faster than good news any day. And at the end of the day, people will hear negative and believe it before they believe the truth. And they will defend the lie before they defend the truth. And I want to challenge you today, stop believing lies. Glory to God. Pick up the Bible and believe the truth. Glory to God. Here's the second thing. I don't have time. There's a lot of things them eunuchs do. I don't have time to finish that. I want to get into this part. I want to just give you all of these and I'm gonna quit. So not only is perversion a weapon of Jezebel that she uses to take down the church, that she uses, that the spirit uses— glory to the name of God— to sabotage your life. Here's another thing: lust. Lust. The word lust is epithumia in Greek, and it literally means a craving, a passionate longing, a desire, an impulse for something— watch this— that isn't yours. That ties into perversion too, because you're lusting after something that's inauthentic to you, something that really wasn't created to be yours. It's not just sexual. You can lust after position, you can lust after a title, you can lust after someone else's house, somebody else's car. Listen, at the end of the day, lust is a dangerous piece, man. Craving something that's not authentically yours can kill you. Let's look at 1 John 2:16. I'm reading out of the New Living Translation. The Bible says, for the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure. A craving for what we see, lust of the eye, and pride in our achievements and possessions, the pride of life. These are not from the Father but are from this world. So people lust, number one, in their flesh, to have their flesh, their fleshly appetites fulfilled. People also crave for what they see, the lust of the eye. They want— somebody else makes it look easy, somebody else has something that you you really desire, so you start lusting after it. Or the pride of life, your achievements. This is why, listen, people are caught up in this so heavily, man. That's why people post what they achieve on social media. And it's one thing to testify, but it's another thing to have the pride of life, okay? It's another thing to get off and really feel good because you're able to do something that maybe somebody else has not done, and you post it not in a spirit of giving glory to God but in a spirit— watch this— of bringing glory to yourself and shedding light and being proud that you accomplished that. That's not the reason we do it. We should testify to God's glory. Are y'all with me? I'm glad I got— I got 5 members staying with me, y'all. I appreciate y'all on this live today. A lot of people gonna catch it by, by replay. I knew this when I got on, but I thank you for my 5 members that's staying with me today. Oh, God doesn't want you to move in lust. So Jezebel then, according to this text, is a spirit of seduction that works to woo you away from Jesus through idolatry. We talked about that. And tempt you to defile yourself with them three things: sexual immorality, self-dependence— watch this— and self-importance. That's her whole goal, is to get you away from God How to— so that you can operate in sexual immorality. Are y'all hearing me? Glory to the name of God. So you can operate in self-dependence, act like you really don't need God. Come on, church, come on. But maybe on my YouTube church you get with me more than this church on Facebook. Somebody press some hearts if you're getting this. Glory to God. Or self-importance. Listen, I want to tell you something: you can't do nothing without God. Let's go to Mark 6. I want to show you verses 21 through 24. I want to show you what lust looks like. Watch this, what this really looks like. Mark 6:21-24. Somebody type it on the screen. Mark 6:21-24. 1 John 2:16. Type those verses on the screen for me. The Bible says this: Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday, Herod gave a banquet for his high officials and military commandants When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, ask me for anything you want and I will give it to you. And he promised her with an oath, whatever you ask, I will give you up to half my kingdom. She went out and said to her mother, what shall I ask for? Oh my God. And the mama said, the head of John the Baptist, she answered. Lust got John the Baptist killed. Okay, so I'm gonna tell you something. Lust will get you killed. James said it like this. He said, when lust is conceived, it brings forth sin. Sin, when it is full-grown, it brings forth death. Lust will get you killed. So you got to control your cravings. You got to control your lust. If you're gonna crave something, only crave that which the Father has planned for you. So lust is a weapon. Perversion is a weapon of Jezebel. Come on, my 5 members, stay with me. I'm almost through, as the old preacher would say. Glory to God. Let's go to this third one. The The third one, whoo, because, huh, is fear. Fear fuels Jezebel's activities and gives the spirit of Jezebel strength. That's what Jezebel, the Queen Jezebel in the Bible, she thrived on making prophets afraid. She had Elijah so afraid Elijah went and hid on the juniper tree saying, this woman is after me and I don't know what I'm going to do. She wants you afraid. See, that's the idleness. But you can't let fear— because fear is infeasible. Fear upsets the nervous system. It'll make your stomach go to acting up. Fear will shatter your health. Fear will whiten your hair. Y'all not talking to me here. Fear impeaches large service. Fear will keep you from doing things on a big scale. Fear compromises your ability to love. It compromises your ability to walk by faith and not by sight. Good God Almighty. Listen, so watch this. The Bible says in 2 Timothy 1:7, for God, hear me, has not given us the spirit of fear. First of all, he— God has not— he didn't say you didn't have it. He said he didn't give it to you because he understands if you move in fear, you're Somebody put that on the screen. I thank you, James, for being a scribe today, bro. Kendrick, God bless your heart, man. Put on the screen for me, uh, praise God, 2 Timothy 1:7. Hallelujah. 2 Timothy 1:7. Again, it says, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. In other words, God's saying again, I didn't give you the spirit of fear, but that doesn't mean you don't have it. Some people got it and unwilling to admit it, but it's not of God. The word— the word fear in Greek is deilia. It means a cowardice from fright, which means something has frightened you and you become a coward, so you don't engage in the things you should engage in because you are afraid. And ultimately, watch this, you get delayed, you get stagnant, you get afraid to do it. And I always tell people— I've been telling people 20 years— do it afraid. Do it scared. If you, if you got some fear in your heart, just start doing it. I promise you, when you start doing it, the fear will lift. Do it afraid. Hallelujah. Pick up that business afraid, even while you're trembling, don't know what the outcome will be. Just start working, start putting the plan in action. Do it with the fear in your heart, and I promise you, your action will defeat fear every time. It would. Oh my God, Smith Wigglesworth said this. He said, and I quote, fear knocked on the door, faith answered, no one was there, end quote. I'm telling you right now, if you would move even with the fears and inhibitions you have and start working this thing out by faith— glory to God, thank you, Eunice, thank you, James, glory to God— I promise you, fear will leave, it will flee. But if you walk in and you open yourself up to Jezebel, the text said he gave you power. Oh boy, that's exousia, that's authority in Greek. He gave you love, that's agape, that's unconditional love. I don't have time to teach on these, but at the end of the day, he loves you for love alone, unconditionally. You ain't got to be afraid because the man loves you. He gave you a sound mind, sophronismos in Greek. He gave you a well-balanced, intelligent mind so you don't have to be afraid. That's why I talk and speak and teach as bold as I do because I am not afraid. There's nothing on this world I'm afraid of. I've had guns to my head. I've had guns, glory to the name of God, to my head more than one time. I'm not afraid, glory to the name of God. I, I've had somebody come to my door I know came to kill me and my mother. And we were living at 1492, I'm sorry, Boulder Crest Road in Southeast Atlanta in Paradise Apartments 8, 8. Glory to God. In Paradise East Apartments, glory to the name of God, there was a man that came to the door, had a.45 with a long nose on it, drawn. He was looking for my stepfather. I'll never forget this in my life. My mother held me, glory to the name of God. She was afraid, I was afraid, I was a little boy. But glory to the name of God, the man who's coming in that capacity normally to make a point. He never would have left us alive. Oh my God, oh my God. But he walked away from those doors because he saw something standing behind my mama and I. And I'm telling you right now, what he saw was an angel. He could do nothing but flee. Glory to God. And we closed the door, and there was a peace came over me as a little boy. My God, here, thank you God that brought me to this end, that God will always be with me. When you know who you rolling with, there is nothing— and I mean absolutely nothing— for you to be afraid of. I challenge you today, dissipate your fear, destroy your fear with action. I got to get out of here, man. Yeah, whoa, Shabbat! Go, man, one more scripture on fear. Go to Luke 21:26. I gotta get through this. Glory to the name of God. Luke 21:26. I gotta teach this The scripture declares here that— y'all type it on the screen for me, guys— Luke 21:26. Luke 21:26. The Bible says men's hearts will fail them for fear and for looking for those things that are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Watch this. Men are afraid. Glory to God. And the Bible said their heart— not the heart that's 6 inches below the collarbone here, but your center of moral passion. The heart— oh my God, yeah, glory to the name— the kardia in Greek is where we get words like cardiovascular, which is this physical heart, or cardiopulmonary. But the reality is God is talking about the center of man's being, his moral compass, his soul. He said the soul will fail for fear. Watch this. Many people are afraid of what people will think about them if they live right, if they do the right things, if they honor God with their lifestyle. So their hearts fail for fear, so they won't serve, they won't convert, they won't come in. Oh my God, thank you, Eunice. Thank you, James. I appreciate you guys. Glory to God. You cannot be found living in fear. And causing your heart to fail, your moral compass. You know, America is afraid right now because they don't know God. Watch this. This is how Jezebel releases a fear that comes behind coronavirus that keeps people from going to church. Oh my God. Now I'm not crazy. Okay, so I'm wise. So when I go in public, I wear a mask. All right, yeah, I go to Walmart, I wear a mask. I obey the rules, I obey the law of the land. I do that. Am I afraid? No. Okay, but in the house of God, we take temperatures, we have masks available for those that desire them. But I have determined that the safest place in the world is the house of God. If I'm afraid to go to God's house where I proclaim he lives, he dwells, where I proclaim that he actually manifested— why would God allow people to come into his house and contract a disease that could kill them? That's not the God I serve. He's not that guy. And because I live in power and I know my words have authority, I have decreed that Rhoda Church and everywhere I go is a COVID-19 free zone. My house is a COVID-19 free zone. My church is a COVID-19 free zone. My body is a COVID-19 free zone. I can't get it. Are you hearing me? So I don't fear it because I live under the covenant of healing and deliverance, which is the children's bread. So why would God tell me that and give it to me and allow me to have it? I'm not afraid of it, and neither should you be. You need to live under the auspices of the Holy Spirit, trusting him. I'm not telling you not— I'm not telling you— listen, and I'm not talking against anybody that wears a mask. And whatever people do. This is just my faith, my measure of faith, and my faith is crazy. I have the gift of faith. I trust God for every single thing in my life. Are you hearing me? And I believe he's got me. I don't move in fear. All these mega preachers, they use coronavirus to keep doing live services, streaming them on Sunday. I'm appalled at you preachers. I'll say it again, I'm appalled at the mega preachers who have the room. If they needed to social distance, however they needed to bring people back in the house, they could. But they're using this as a way to save money and make more money. I've heard some of them say it out of their mouths, and it's absolutely ridiculous. God didn't give them those huge buildings to not have church in them, to not invoke his presence and teach his word in them. Yeah, okay, yeah, you're teaching the word and you're doing it online, but you and I both know that's why you have a church. That's why you pay millions of dollars for the building, dude, because you know something happens. Hear me, hear me. They might try to do a drive-by at my church, but I ain't scared. Listen, at the end of the day, you got to understand Something happens corporately that don't happen on a Zoom, that don't happen through a Facebook Live. Oh boy, you're operating on the auspices of Jezebel. She's got you because you're getting resources that you didn't have doing it this way. The devil is a liar. Let me move. Ah God, I gotta close. This is the last one. Again, this is not an exhaustive list, but these are some things Jezebel used. So she uses number 1, perversion. She uses number 2— oh my God— lust. She uses number 3, fear. And this spirit operates strongly in the spirit of discouragement. Discouragement is a loss of confidence, enthusiasm, passion. It means you have become dispirited. And in many times, discouragement leads to depression. Oh my God. Oh, shaman, this year, let's go to 1 Kings 19. 1 Kings, y'all write it for me. 1 Kings 19, verses 1 through 4. I'm closing, I'm closing. The Bible says, and Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done. Oh my God. And with all how he had slain the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, a eunuch, saying, so let the gods do to me and more also if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time. In other words, Jezebel said, look, bro, you done killed my false prophets. And tomorrow, by this time, Elijah, you're gonna be dead. I'm gonna cause you to be just like them on the other side of the grass. Are y'all hearing me? This is how bold the spirit is, and the spirit seeks to discourage. And a lot of times we hear thoughts in your head that tell you you're not going to make That's not going to work. Your dream will never live. You're never going to be happy. You don't deserve this. You don't deserve that. That is a spirit of discouragement. Hear me good, kind friends, that comes to keep you stagnated, depressed, delayed, and doesn't want you to take action. Okay, let me keep reading. And when he saw that, he arose and went for his life He ran. Yeah. And he came to Beersheba, which belonged to Judah, and left his servant. Listen, he was so afraid he left his servant. He said, let me get out of here, this woman is trying to kill me. She was a bad chick. But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a juniper tree and requested for himself that he might die and said, it's enough now, O Lord, take away my life, for I'm not better than my fathers. I have to admit to you, I've had some things come up in my life before where I felt like it would be better to be in heaven than to continue to live here. So maybe this will help somebody today. All right, and I said these same words that Elijah said to God: Enough, just bring me to heaven. And the Holy Ghost says, it's not time, you got to endure it, you got to go through it. Why? Because I was just— I was discouraged because of what was happening, and I didn't see an end. I'm honestly tell you, I didn't see an end. I didn't see where I would be able to recover from what had happened to me, and I figured I had had enough bad hands dealt in my life that I don't need me continuing with this. I've been here before. But this discouragement often leads to depression. So that's what Jezebel does— she discourages, then the spirit depresses you. Just like Elijah. Then it creates detours, gets you off track from living perversions. You start living under the realm and the auspices of an assignment that God didn't call you to live. I gotta close, I gotta close, I've been live too long. I hope y'all have learned something today. Listen, It ultimately, after it creates the delays and the detours, it destroys your purpose. It destroys who you really are. And I want to— there are many that'll watch this live and by replay, many listening to the podcast. We need a word from the Lord. The Bible says in those same verses, 1 Kings 19:5, and I'm reading, as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, the angel touched him and said, get up and eat. The way we're going to stop this demon, we're going to stop the perversion of Jezebel Yes, Lord, we're gonna stop the lust that Jezebel causes to operate in our lives. We're gonna stop— glory to God— the fear. We're gonna stop the discouragement. The way we do it is a word from the Lord. The angel said, arise and eat, oh man of God, oh prophet of God. Woman of God, child of God, wherever you are today, hear ye the word of the Lord. You've been living in perversion. You've been living a broke-down life. Glory to God. You've been— you've been living in fear. Fear to go after your dreams. I feel you, God. Fear to go after the promise of God for your life. You've been afraid, glory to God, some of you, to love again because you went, you went through a terrible divorce and your heart was broken, and you're afraid that you will go through the same thing. So your heart has a chain around it and you cannot love again. But I command you to be free today, glory to God. You're discouraged from relationships, you're discouraged from the church. Many of you are fearing going to church, but I'm telling you right now, you need to find a place of power where the power of God lives. And no, and know that this thing would not come nigh you. We bind the spirit of Jezebel now in the name of Jesus. I say to you, Arise and eat. What am I gonna eat? The word of God, not turkey and dressing. Arise and eat the word of God, not false doctrine, not false teaching. Arise and eat the truth. But the Bible declares, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. I decree and declare today that the truth of God's word is setting you free now. The truth of God's word is liberating you, and it is putting the spirit of Jezebel to death. Father, we bind it up now. I bind it up, pastors and preachers and teachers and ministries. I decree and declare, I kick it out of the marriage, I kick it out of the single home, and I kick it out of children. I decree and declare that we are chaste, we are We are pure, we are righteous, God. And the blessing of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow is heavy upon our lives even now. In the name— in the name— in the mighty name of Jesus, be free! Hallelujah! Cast the devil out of the mind. I bind up depression. I bind up spirits of suicide. Somebody watching this, maybe by replay or live, I don't know, but somebody that's intertwined with this message now, you have been thinking suicide. The enemy, the spirit of Jezebel, have brought suicidal thoughts to your mind. Ah, in the name of Jesus you will not die, but you will live. I bind up the thoughts. I thank you for thoughts of life, God. Release them now into their lives in Jesus' name. I speak healing, I speak deliverance, which is the children's bread. And I declare today, your life will never be the same. Oh God, do what has never been done before in our lives. I loose resources in the name of Jesus. Somebody watching me is going through financial difficulty. They're challenged, they're strained. Things are tight. I bind up the discouragement that comes with that. And today, in the name of Jesus, I loose resources, I loose wealth, I loose finances, I loose innovation and supernatural ideas in the name of Jesus. Somebody watching this live or by replay is struggling with masturbation. I bind it up now in the name. I send the spirit of perversion back to the pits of hell. Someone struggling with homosexuality, someone struggling with lesbianism, someone struggling with whoremongering, I bind you up and I send you back, you foul spirit, to dry places. Go! In the name of Jesus, I bind up the spirit of lust, cravings that don't come from you, God. I bind up lust and desires that's not of you. I thank that we will only crave and desire the things that you have given us an appetite for, that you have called us to have, and I praise you for it now. I bind up the spirit of fear. Cast fear far away. Hallelujah. The angels of the Lord are here to minister to you. You don't have to be afraid. I, I, I release the faith to trust you, God, for every single thing, and that we will walk by faith and not by sight. We'll stop counting what we have in the bank and we'll sit— oh glory— we'll obey you. We'll be obedient. We'll do exactly what you said do in our finances. We'll tithe, we'll sow our seeds, and we'll trust you for the increase. We give you praise, God. We give you glory. We bind up discouragement, and we thank you for the victory now. It's in Jesus' name. Be free. Jezebel loses. My desire today was to expose the weapons of the spirit, and I'm telling you, if you defeat those 4 things, you'll defeat Jezebel every time. I love you all. You guys are amazing. Hallelujah! Thank you for your time, whether you watch me live or by replay. Listen, if you have a desire to support this ministry, certainly We don't get on here to beg for money, but it is only appropriate according to the word of the Living God. Hallelujah!

Sow into this word that the spirit of Jezebel can be broken in your life, the spirit of Jezebel and her children Azeroth and Italia, they'll be broken in your life, and that increase will come on every side. So sow your seed. And Father, I pray now for those that will give, multiply the seed sown 1,000 times more than they sow. So God, for that one that'll sow $1,000 or $2,000, multiplied 1,000 times more. $10,000, multiplied 1,000 times more. $100, multiplied 1,000 times more than it is. Whatever the seed is, multiply it, God. Your word said you would in Deuteronomy chapter 1, and I bless you for it now in Jesus' name. I love y'all so much. Share this and make sure someone else can get it. Join me tomorrow on Apostle's Table. I promise you there is a word from the Lord. Y'all be blessed. Peace.
