Destroying Lives

The Jezebel spirit destroys families, churches, businesses and relationships. It destroys lives...

Remember Potiphar’s wife? She tried to sweeten Joseph with her charms. When he refused, the same charm turned into bitterness, and she cruelly accused an innocent and righteous Joseph of attempted rape (see Genesis 39)...

When a Jezebel loses control, love and devotion turn into hate and destruction. The love and loyalty were expressed with an evil and twisted motive for power and gain...Once a Jezebel loses her domination – look out! It’s the same spirit that wanted Elijah’s life destroyed. With every case, she pleaded to the listeners that she was a victim...Jezebels can be convincing.
