From the Desk of Steve Shultz:

I have a strong desire for all our readers to grasp this revelation.

God does and will promote you if you are even "half trying" to serve Him. But you MUST know what to expect or you may get thrown for a loop.

I will not spoil it for you. This word is straight from the throne room of Heaven, and I can tell you from personal knowledge that I have watched Jennifer Eivaz go through this process.

Jennifer knows exactly what she is writing here, both by revelation and by experiencing it herself. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"What to Expect When God Promotes You"
Jennifer Eivaz, Turlock, CA

There are some prophetic words that just need to be reposted again and again. Don't forget this one. Print it out and put it in your journal. Remind yourself of the process and don't bail out.

"...Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings!" (Amos 9:13 MSG)

Your promotion will produce personal chaos. This is a blessing and not a curse. Know that if God is with you, you won't fail. He will give you the grace to recalibrate and rebalance. Cling to God tightly and press forward anyway. Don't return to the familiar or the comfortable. The cloud has moved. His grace is now found in the new place and not the old.

Don't Take off Your Crown!

He is gently reminding you that He has crowned you with glory and honor (Psalm 8:5 NKJV). You are to rise and shine...not duck and hide. Promotion is a visible event. It's not done in secret. Heaven will orchestrate its own coronation ceremony. Like Joshua, you will experience the Lord exalting you in front of people in order to establish His assignment on your life. Accept your assignment and don't take off your crown. Staying visible is valuable, and this is what glorifies God in this season.

Have You Lost Your Confidence?

"Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward." (Hebrews 10:35 NKJV)

Your personal confidence will feel unusually challenged in this season. Have you lost your confidence? Go back to where you gave it away and take it back. Your confidence, rooted in Christ, holds great reward!

Healing a Disease

At the same time, the Lord wants to heal a disease in the Body of Christ. It's the disease of insecurity and jealousy. When you know who you are in Christ, you are no longer jealous. The Word is the cure. Go back to the written Word. Anchor yourself to it.

Be Strong and Courageous!

Be strong and courageous! Courage is now a command more than it is a feeling. God is your rock and your sure foundation. He will teach you to swim in deeper waters. He will be with your mouth and teach you how to speak. You will learn to fight at a higher level. Stand assured because He is with you.

I am praying for you,

From the Desk of Steve Shultz:

I've sure enjoyed getting to know Jesse and Amy Shamp... they are a powerful Millennial couple and are full of prophetic wisdom.

In Jesse Shamp's recent article, he describes detailed revelation from a dream encounter he had of the late Bob Jones.

I want you to read it for yourself and ask the Lord to give you personal insight in what you can do right now to prepare for what the Lord revealed to Jesse. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"What is This Pearl of Great Price?"

Jesse Shamp, Nashville, TN

I've held this word, locked away in my heart, for a season. This is something from my treasure box! The Bible compares revelation to precious pearls (Matthew 7:6). Some things you experience in the Lord are so sacred that you don't want to share them with anyone. Yet, I have felt the timing of the Lord to share this encounter. First, let me say this: Every prophetic encounter must bring us to a more intimate walk with the Lord and must reveal to us the revelation of the Scriptures.

I recently found myself in a very powerful encounter. It was a dream, but also an encounter, for I was in the realm of the spirit! For a season, the Lord would not permit me to share about it, but recently I've felt that it was time to release it! My desire is to bring you on the journey that led me to this encounter. I feel that it is important that I steward this revelation well. It has been a series of visions, dreams, and encounters over the past several months.

The Lord has been speaking about the heart of the Body of Christ and how we are to examine our hearts in this season. God is truly releasing another level of the prophetic anointing in this hour. However, it is vital that we have a foundation of love. Every gift mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12 should be ministered through the precious fruit of the Spirit, love!

The Pearl of Great Price

It was around Valentine's day that I had released something on social media about the late Prophet Bob Jones. I never had the chance to know Bob Jones personally, but I have spoken with many that did walk with this great prophet. I was pondering the time that I heard Bob Jones speak... it was many years ago during a conference at Jeff Jansen's church, Global Fire Ministries, in Murfreesboro, TN. I remember when Bob Jones began to speak, He spoke of a parable in the Bible: "The Pearl of Great Price."

Bob interpreted the parable to mean that the pearl of great price was love. Bob shared an encounter that he had. On August 8, 1995, Bob Jones had died and found himself in Heaven. He stood in a line and saw to the left of him a line of people that were going to spend an eternity in Hell. Bob was in another line of people that was approaching the Lord. As those in this line approached the Lord, the Lord would ask them, "Did you learn to love?"(Photo via Unsplash)

The Lord told Bob that he had died before his time, and that he needed to go back for souls. Then Bob urged the Lord that he didn't want to go back, but the Lord told him that he could enter into to Heaven if he would merely look at the line of people that were going to Hell. Bob then told the Lord that he would go back for just one soul! The Lord told him, "You're not going back for one soul. You're going back for a billion souls!" What Bob prophesied in reference to the billion soul harvest is that it would be the greatest awakening of all time!

Did You Learn to Love?

After Bob shared his visitation from the Lord, he then asked the audience, "Did you learn to love?" I've heard a lot of messages over the years, but it was as if those words were planted in my own heart and have, since then, been a part of me. Many that walked with Prophet Bob Jones have shared with me personally that the message of love was Bob's life message.

On Valentine's Day, I went to sleep, thinking of those words that Bob left us with. As I slept, I had a dream. In the dream, it was as if I was awake, and I saw Bob Jones come from Heaven into my bedroom. The dream was so real and so vivid, I was a bit frightened! Bob Jones was in a glorified body and the glory of God was all around him. He had piercing, dark eyes that would change to blue, and he was watching me. He was looking to see if I had prepared the soil of my heart for the agape love of God. He was watching me to see if I was one that would be willing to carry on his life message, "Did you learn to love?"

This dream, that was really an encounter, was so real that I woke up out of a dead sleep at five o'clock in the morning and looked over to where Bob Jones was standing in the dream. I could feel the atmosphere of Heaven in the room, and I could sense the cloud of witnesses that were looking in. Hebrews 12 mentions the cloud of witnesses that are cheering us on to run the race! It was a holy moment, and what I feel the Lord is saying is this:

God is not just looking for the gifted, but God is looking to those that would minister the gifts of the Spirit from a foundation of love.

A Foundation of Love

I've always found it interesting, as Paul writes his letter to the church of Corinthians in the twelfth chapter, that he reveals in depth the importance of the gifts of the Spirit, but he also begins to bring to light the different, unique expressions and functions of different offices. Paul states how we are all part of the Body of Christ. The hand may have a different function than they eye or the hearing, but we are all a part of that one Body.

In the fourteenth chapter Paul says, "Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy"(1 Corinthians 14:1 NASB).

In the middle of these chapters, we find the foundation which must be laid in order that we may minister the gifts of the Spirit properly. That foundation is love! It could be said that the love of God is a mighty river that flows from the heart, mingled with the gifts of the Spirit.

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing." (1 Corinthians 13:1-2)

As disciples and ministers of Christ, we are to mature in the fruits of the Spirit, not only the gifts. It is not that the fruits of the Spirit are somehow secondary to gifts. I believe they are meant to flow together. The first fruit mentioned in the book of Galatians is love (Galatians 5:22). Love, as a fruit of the Spirit, is expected of us as disciples of Christ.

"...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." (Matthew 22:37 KJV)

How are we to the love the Lord with all that we are? By keeping His commandments!

Jesus said, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments"(John 14:15). In order to love God, it requires sacrifice. It requires us to forgive and even to love our enemies.

When we have truly encountered the love of God and have an intimate walk with Him, we can better understand the manifestation of prophecy! (Photo via Unsplash)

Paul shares the importance of the function of prophecy, saying, "...he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort" (1 Corinthians 14:3 KJV).

Looking for a Pure River

Whenever I spend extra time with the Lord, I find that I am seeing more in the spirit. Once, I was sitting on my sofa, and suddenly, I split into a vision of a river flowing... it was a golden river, filled with God's glory! Then I saw another river that was black, filled with all kinds of pollution.

"Does a spring send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water? Can a fig tree, my brothers, produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh."(James 3:11-12 AMP)

As I was seeing this vision, this Scripture, from the book of James, burned in my spirit! The Lord showed me this beautiful river of prophecy that flowed like golden oil. At the same time, I saw another river that was black, flowing into it. I had trouble accepting what the Lord was showing me—that the two rivers, unfortunately, could flow together simultaneously.

I believe the Lord is saying this: We want a pure river flowing from our hearts. John, the revelator, spoke of a pure river, pure as crystal (Revelation 22:1). He spoke of how the river was flowing out of the throne and out of the Lamb.

As I sought the Lord on this, the Lord gave me a few keys to how we may have a pure flow of prophecy.

Guard Your Heart

There are many ways that our hearts can become contaminated through bitterness, hurt, sin and so on. Think of how many opportunities Jesus had to be bitter or hurt. Yet, He graciously and willingly walked in compassion. We must seek the Lord to have this same compassion as He had during His earthly ministry.

In the midst of this vision, the Lord said to me,"If you continue to guard your heart, you will have a pure stream!" The anointing flows from the heart of man, the anointing of God flows from you like a river. Jesus even told us that rivers of living water would flow from our innermost being (John 7:38). This is why it is so important that we are careful about what we see, or hear, or meditate on as it all affects the heart.

"Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flows the springs of life." (Proverbs 4:23)

So many times, in the Word of God, we see the importance of the heart of man!

Jesus said, "Do not let not your heart be troubled..." (John 14:1).

The heart of man is the spirit and soul of man. Peter spoke of the hidden man of the heart (1 Peter 3:4).

We are truly in a season of examining our hearts before the Lord. It is a season of pruning.

"I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman. Every Branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit." (John 15:1-2 KJV).(To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Prepare for Multiplication in Your Barren Places!"

Andrew Towe, Chattanooga, TN

Sing, O Barren!

While on vacation with my family, I laid down in the bed and I heard the Lord say, "I am causing every barren area to begin to produce. Prepare for multiplication."

I then opened my Bible to Psalm 113:9: "He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord."

Many have been living in a place of bareness. It seems as though everywhere you turn you are facing famine. God has heard your cry and He has seen your tears. He is bringing enlargement to you.

"Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

"Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." (Isaiah 54:1-3)

It is easy to "sing" after you have the baby but it is very difficult to sing when you are barren. Your song is a weapon of deliverance. It is an instrument of miracles. There is power in your praise. (Photo via Pixabay)

Sowing a Seed in the Barren Desert

My wife had a condition that made it very difficult for her to conceive and carry a baby to term. Nevertheless, God had confirmed to us through many prophetic words that we would have babies.

After a few years of going through fertility treatments, miscarriages and disappointments, we finally thought God had answered our prayers. Every Wednesday night we met with a team of intercessors to pray. We could not wait to tell our prayer warriors that we were going to have a baby. We believed we were in the "safe zone" and we announced our big news to them. They were thrilled. We planned a big surprise announcement for the entire church that Sunday, which was Father's Day. We went to bed with our world feeling perfect.

However, around 2:00 AM my wife was in severe pain and, without going into graphic detail, had miscarried the baby. Our hearts were broken. Just like that everything changed. We had gone from giggling and being ecstatic to sobbing and overwhelming sadness. Many of you understand those moments of your world being turned upside down. Some of you may be facing such a moment even as you're reading this.

A minister friend of mine heard about the loss of the baby and graciously called me and volunteered to minister the Father's Day service for me. I was appreciative for his offer but I was determined that I was going to preach the best Father's Day message that I could. I refused to let the devil think that because of this loss that we were giving up on our promise.

My wife's best friend at that time then announced that she was pregnant. We were very happy for her and her husband but could not escape the pain of our loss. Nevertheless, my wife volunteered to throw her a baby shower to celebrate the coming arrival. Trying to protect her because I was keenly aware of her recent devastation, I expressed my concern for her doing so. I will never forget the steadfast look that came on my wife's face as she said, "I am sowing this as a seed for our baby. I will throw her the best baby shower that I possibly can. Andrew, you know the power of a seed!" She planned every last detail of the baby shower as if it was for herself. After all it was her seed and she was believing for a great harvest.

The doctor had said that it would be at least 6 months before there could be a possibility of getting pregnant after the miscarriage—but God! Six weeks later we discovered that she was pregnant with our Giuliana Faith.

We made the determination that we were going to sow seeds of faith in the middle of our barren desert. God had made us a promise and we were not going to give up. (Photo via Unsplash)

This is Your Season to Break Out!

Some of you have promises from God that seem as if they are never coming to pass, but you cannot quit. Don't give up because breakthrough is on the other side of your seed. Your seed of worship breaks the back of bareness.When you sing and cry aloud it releases the "more" that God has promised. The "more" is a place of enlargement. Quit thinking, dreaming and speaking small.

"Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us..." (Ephesians 3:20)

When you begin to praise Him in the middle of bareness as if you were already holding the baby, it causes a breakout. "For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." (Isaiah 54:3)

I hear the Spirit of God declaring to you today, "This is your season to breakout! Refuse to allow yourself to be boxed into the 'small' by the enemy. Believe what I have spoken and watch what I am doing. It has already begun. You will see the manifestation of the promises that I have made to you. Sing! Your song is a weapon that will shift the gear of acceleration."

The void and desolate places are coming to life. The blessing of Abraham for multiplication is being released on you. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Prophetic Word for the Middle East & Clear Vision for 2020"

Daniel and Amber Pierce, Jerusalem, Israel

My wife Amber and I are writing to you from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. When I woke up on the third day of our stay here, my spirit came alive as God began speaking to me in intercession. As I began to pray, it was like a window opened up to Heaven and I could suddenly see the heart of God for the Emirati people and the people groups of the Arabian Peninsula.

Improved Relationships and Realignment

There is a new season coming of improved relationship with Israel among the nations, and as those relationships come into sync with the heart of God, a blessing will be decreed from the mouth of God over many lands and many waters! As the spirit of Persia arises, it will continue to cause the nations of this region to draw closer. There is a realignment taking place on the Arabian Peninsula and in the Arab nations that will bring many face-to-face with the God of Israel and the Lord of hosts. I heard God speak to Yemen and say, "Peace be still!" and I heard Him speak to the strait of Hormuz and say, "Peace be still!"

A Crack in the Foundations of Islam

On a recent morning, God told me to go down to the waters of the Persian Gulf and decree that He is a God who breaks the bow and bends the spear and tells the wars to cease. Then God showed me a crack in the foundations of Islam and told me to decree a shaking that would cause the crack to widen and the five pillars to crumble before His voice!

From here, in the UAE, I decree that the voice of God will be heard like the sound of a rushing wind, and that His Spirit will usher in the truth of who God is. (Photo via Pexels)

Dubai: Arab Media Capital for 2020

When I got up that same morning, I looked at a copy of the Gulf News that had been left in our hotel room. On the front page was an article titled: "Why Dubai has been chosen Arab Media Capital for 2020." After reading this article, I began to pray that Dubai's voice in the Arab nations would grow even stronger, and that God would use the voice of Dubai and the UAE to begin to unite the Arab world. I also prayed that this strengthening voice would be used like a trumpet in the Middle East to proclaim a powerful testimony in days to come.

Pray that God would ignite a burning fire of revival on the Arabian Peninsula and that a seed of revelation would begin to grow, even now, in this moment!

Additionally, Amber had a word concerning 20/20 vision and coming into a new clarity. I believe that the year 2020 will be a time when many nations see God defining their vision in ways that could not have been imagined:

A Time for Vision to Become Clear!

God had me read Habakkuk 2 this last week. In this passage, Habakkuk is crying out for God to restore justice. God tells him to write the vision and make it plain. You see, God uses the clarity of vision to set a course for the restoration of justice for His people and in the nations. We should expect that God will release clarity into our vision in 2020.

In this chapter, the Lord replied to Habakkuk's cry: "...Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay." (Habakkuk 2:2-3)

We must remember that God has appointed a time to release revelation and make it plain! Please pray that in every appointed time, God's people would be able to grab ahold of His word and see the vision plainly as it has been written and decreed in Heaven! (Photo via Unsplash)

"Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people's labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing? For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." (Habakkuk 2:13-14)

God's desire is to fill the earth with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Please stand with us in prayer that the Lord's glory would cover the earth, and that His revelation would become clear in the Arabian Peninsula.

Join us in declaring that His Spirit will become known in all nations and to the ends of the earth! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

From the Desk of Steve Shultz:

This very insightful word was previously posted in 2011, but we felt it is a NOW word to send out again to our Elijah List readers.

With so much negative news in the media and angry voices rising daily, this is a great reminder of the war we are in and how we can pray.

As you read through this here's a reminder: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (Eph. 6:12).

"Elijah, Jehu and the War Against Jezebel"

Francis Frangipane, Cedar Rapids, IA

There is a war, a very ancient war, between the spirit of Elijah and the spirit of Jezebel. In this age-old battle, Elijah represents the interests of Heaven: the call to repentance and the return to God. Jezebel, on the other hand, represents that unique principality whose purpose is to hinder the deep work of God in the Church.

To the Victor Goes the Nation

To understand the conflict between the Elijah spirit and the spirit of Jezebel, we must understand these two adversaries as they are seen in the Scriptures. Each is the spiritual counterpart of the other. Is Elijah bold? Jezebel is brazen. Is Elijah ruthless toward evil? Jezebel is vicious toward righteousness. Does Elijah speak of the ways and words of God? Jezebel is full of systems of witchcraft and words of deceit. The war between Elijah and Jezebel continues today. The chief warriors on either side are the prophets of both foes; to the victor goes the soul of our nation.

In the tradition of Samuel, Elijah was the head of the school of prophets. Under him were the "sons of the prophets" – literally hundreds of prophetic minstrels – who proclaimed the Word of the Lord in song. In this war, however, Jezebel had viciously and systematically murdered nearly all of God's servants until it appeared only Elijah remained (see 1 Kings 18:22). Elijah, as the last of the prophets, then challenged the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of the Asherah to a demonstration of power: their gods against the power of the Lord.

These 850 men were the false prophets, the satanic priests "at Jezebel's table" (1 Kings 18:19). They were the most powerful, demonized individuals that the hosts of darkness could produce. King Ahab, Jezebel's husband, sent a message out to "all the sons of Israel" (v. 20), and the nation came to witness the battle between the God of Elijah and the demons of Jezebel.

The terms of the challenge were simple: each was to place an ox upon an altar. Elijah then said, "You call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord, and the God who answers by fire, He is God" (v. 24). Six hours later the cult priests still could produce no fire; twelve hours passed and Elijah began to mock them: "Call out [to Baal] with a loud voice...perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened" (v. 27). Then, just before evening, Elijah prayed over his sacrifice and "the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering" (v. 38). The Bible says that "when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, 'The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God'" (v. 39). Immediately after this powerful witness of the Lord, Elijah had the Hebrews secure the prophets of Baal and all of them were put to death. (Photo via Pixabay)

We would suppose that, at this point, Elijah would have asked God to finish off Jezebel, but he did not. In fact – and this may surprise you – Elijah came under spiritual warfare. When Jezebel heard what had happened to her servants, she released a flood of demonic power against Elijah, and he fled in fear.

You may ask, "How could such a mighty prophet turn and run?" The answer is not simple. In fact, the situation worsened. We next see Elijah sitting under a juniper tree, bewailing that he is no better than his fathers – actually praying that he might die! (See 1 Kings 19:4.) What pressure overwhelmed this great man of God that he would fall prey to fear and discouragement? He succumbed to the witchcraft of Jezebel.

And now, let the reader understand: when you stand against the spirit of Jezebel, even though you resist her lusts and witchcrafts, you must guard against the power-demons of fear and discouragement, for these she will send against you to keep you from your victory!

The Drama Continues...

It is a mystery, but the Bible tells us that under certain circumstances the Holy Spirit will transfer the anointing of one to function through another. We read that a double portion of the spirit of Elijah ministered through his successor, Elisha (see 2 Kings 2:9-11). When John the Baptist came forth, he came "as a forerunner before [the Lord] in the spirit and power of Elijah" (Luke 1:17). Jesus said of the Baptist, "John himself is Elijah who was to come"(Matt. 11:14, see also 17:11-13).

The spiritual influence of Elijah had returned to the world in the ministry of John the Baptist. Like Elijah, John proclaimed the need for repentance. One such area was in the adulterous lives of King Herod and his wife Herodias. When John confronted them, Herodias had him imprisoned (Mark 6:17-18).

Who was this manipulating and working through the dark, psychic side of Herodias? As Elijah's spirit ministered through John, so Jezebel had resurfaced through the rebellion of the seductress, Herodias. Remember, through Jezebel's many witchcrafts (2 Kings 9:22), she attacked Elijah, causing fear and discouragement, which led to Elijah's time of self-doubt and confusion. Now Herodias had come forcibly against John the Baptist. This is the prophet who had visibly seen the Spirit descend upon Christ; he heard the Father's audible voice announcing His beloved Son; he gazed with awe upon the purity of Israel's Messiah. Now fear and discouragement are weighing upon the prophet's shoulders. Doubt floods his soul about Christ: "Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?" (Matt. 11:3).

"A strategic day came when Herod...gave a banquet" (Mark 6:21). "Strategic" is the perfect word to describe the timing of this event. For Herodias had her daughter dance before Herod, enticing out of him a promise to give whatever she asked. At her mother's request – more truly, at Jezebel's request – she demanded and received the head of the Baptist. And temporarily, the confrontation between the spirits of these enemies subsided.

Elijah is Coming!

Two thousand years ago, Jesus stated that the ministry of Elijah was not over. He promised, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things" (Matt. 17:11). Also, Malachi the prophet wrote, "Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. He will restore..." (Mal. 4:5-6). Elijah is coming to war and restore. He came before the great day, and he is returning before the terrible day of the Lord.

Let it also be known that if Elijah is coming before Jesus returns, so we shall also see the manifestation of Jezebel in the world. Do you not discern her in our land in the abundance of witchcraft and harlotries? Do you not hear her brazen voice rejecting God's authority? Have you not, with shame, beheld her working as she caused God's "bond-servants" to "commit acts of immorality" (Rev. 2:20)? Seeing Jezebel so blatantly manifest herself only confirms that the spirit of Elijah is also here bringing repentance and raising up warring prophets throughout our land.

Not a Time of Peace

In the Old Testament we see how God destroyed Jezebel. Jehu, the newly crowned king of Israel, was sent by the word of the Lord through Elijah's successor, Elisha, to fulfill God's promise. As Jehu and his men furiously drove their chariots toward Jezreel, the kings of Israel and Judah came out to meet him. They asked, "'Is it peace, Jehu?' And he answered, 'What peace, so long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?'" (2 Kings 9:22). And Jehu slew the two kings. Immediately afterward, he rode into Jezreel to confront Jezebel. (Photo via Pixabay)

The Word tells us that when she saw him, "she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head..." and looking out an upper window, she called to him, "'...Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?' And he looked up at the window and said, 'Who is on my side? Who?' So two or three eunuchs looked out at him. Then he said, 'Throw her down.' So they threw her down, and some of her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot" (2 Kings 9:30-33 NKJV).

There was something in Jehu's spirit that we must possess today. While we must be compassionate toward those captured by her wiles (see Rev. 2:21), we must show no mercy to the Jezebel spirit itself. Jehu offered Jezebel no compromise whatsoever. So we must offer this demon no opportunity to probe our soul and unlock vulnerabilities to her "many witchcrafts." She must be cast down from her high place of influence in our minds, that we may truly follow Christ (see Luke 10:19; Rom. 16:20).

There can be no peace, no relaxing under our "fig tree" until the spirit of Jezebel is overcome and as long as her harlotries and witchcrafts are so many in our land. We must refuse to settle for a false peace based on compromise and fear, for the Spirit of God is calling for war!

It is significant that the eunuchs cast her down. Some who are reading this have become slaves to this evil spirit. Today God is giving you the privilege of participating in His judgment against Jezebel. You cast her down from your imagination! Side with God and let the deliverance of God come forth!

Let's pray: Heavenly Father, I submit my heart to You. In the name of Jesus Christ, I resist the spirit of Jezebel. As a servant of Jesus Christ, I release those who have been Jezebel's captives, even those who have become open to immorality through the internet or illicit relationships. I speak to Jezebel's slaves: If you are truly on the Lord's side, then cast down your sympathetic thoughts toward this cruel master! Renounce her evil imaginations from your mind! In the power of Jesus' name, I release you from her psychic grip upon your soul. In the authority of the living Christ! Amen.
