WHY JEZEBEL ATTACKS THE PROPHETIC

As we have noticed, this is a spirit that is not afraid to charge against the gift, ministry, and office of the prophet. Arguably, the office of the prophet is one of the highest governmental position of spiritual authority, representing the activities of God’s affairs within the church and around the realms of societal affairs across earth.

We are in a day of the awakening of some dark, ancient, governmental spiritual activities within the realms of men that need urgent, but bold, courageous and strategic intervention.  Let me highlight at this point that all that is unfolding from the powers of darkness, assaulting the very nature and identity of both the Church and the nations, specifically, today from the house of Ahab with his wife, Jezebel is a direct response or confrontation to the prophetic awakening and engagement of God’s Saints across the earth.

Mount Carmel, a type of the gathering of the nation under the false leadership of Jezebel will be the very place and point where the power of God will finally judge this evil spirit of Jezebel and the male prophets who have yielded their authority and ministry under her illegitimate authority due to her financial economic influence.  Jehu reflects the personification character the Lord will employ to finally destroy this character or entity that has sought to capture, incarcerate, and change the desired order of God for man and the society but it will take a courageous spirit of Elijah to stand instead of running from her.

When Jezebel had that prophet, Elijah had commanded the execution of her false prophets on Mount Carmel, she sent words to the prophet of God that by this time tomorrow, your head will be given to the vulture to feed. This was a direct confrontation to intimidate and neutralize the authority and the position [influence] of the prophet of God in the land.

The Spirit of Elijah.

The Spirit of Elijah is shifting things back to the Father’s ordained program for the earth. The Spirit of the two witnesses is being released to prepare the ecclesia for the great showdown. The Spirit of Exodus is characterized through the anointed grace of Moses while the Spirit of Elijah is the Spirit that breaks the hold of identity bondage from the illegitimate power of Jezebel; this is also known as the Spirit of fire.

The Lord is restoring his wind and fire in this third day. We are told that before the dreadful day of the Lord, the Lord will send Elijah who will turn the hearts of the Father’s back to their sons, and the hearts of sons back to their Father. This prophetic activity in the earth is activating the closer proximity and visibility of their kingdom of God.

The coming or emerging reality of God’s presence and glory to the earth is shaking the foundations, ideologies, beliefs, philosophy and the dominant political cultures that have ruled and reign in the minds of men for centuries. The day of the Lord is emerging with great noise and the rolling away of everything that can be shaken.

Prophetic Perspective

God said to Jeremiah, this day, I have made you a prophet over nations…the jurisdictional matron authority of a prophet in most cases, especially, a seasoned, well-matured prophet reaches far beyond his or her place of geographical location.

A prophet based on one end of the continent can speak authoritatively, of course, according to the directives, guidance and wisdom of the Spirit into another city or nation. This is often carried according to the prophetic seasons and initiatives of the Father around realms and continents. We saw Samuel, Jeremiah, and many of whom we call minor prophets, operated in the apostolic, governmental grace over nations.  The seven churches in the book of Revelation were all positioned prophetic across Asia minor to spiritually influence the realms as we shall later examine regarding the church of Thyatira.

The governmental authority of prophets always creates a deep panic in the camp of the enemy, and therefore, the assigned, principalities, powers, and wicked spirits, over such realms gets agitated and therefore, tries to shut down or frustrate the influence of the prophetic voice within such regions.

The Spirit and operation of Jezebel are primarily assigned as a corrupt, illegitimate, governmental spirit assigned to attack and frighten the prophets, and their prophetic position and authority over cities and nations.  The enemy is quite aware that if they can stop or frustrate the operational initiatives and assignment of the prophet over any community, city or region, such a region is already captured, it’s only a matter of time.

Jezebel and the fight for the Soul of America

Societies, cities, nations, and regions carry or wear certain unique character or personality traits that heaven identifies, relates to, and engage in judgement accordingly to such persons. It is critically important that the Saints, particularly, those called and grace with the spirit of intercession to identify the image and personality each city or nation wear, so that when they are praying, they can address such personality.

Every city or nation in the Bible can be related to in particular name character. Some cities, however, exhibit more than one character just as ordinary humans can have more than one name or character expression. Most times in the scriptures, the Lord addresses, cities by their predominant character personality. In other words, the name of Israel can be exhibiting the character of Sodom, therefore, when the Lord is addressing Israel in a context of a certain issue, he will rather address Israel in the appropriate name that captures the spirit he is addressing amongst is people.

Every nation has got a soul that allows certain inflow or outflows of values, beliefs, and philosophy. This is one of the reasons we are called to war for the soul of cities and nation. To effectively address the predominant spirit over an atmosphere, you need to identify the spiritual personality, such city or nation is operating, and in most cases, not always, such spirit can be found within the character framework of the founding fathers of such society.

This character trait that defines the image-soul of the nation is then passed down the ages through those thoroughly vetted and initiated into key leadership positions of such society. This is one of the reasons why we need to understand that there’s another election behind the so-called democratic election citizens carry out.

Our votes are important, but not as important as the vote of those who are following the agenda and narrative of what has been covenanted by the dedication of what such city or nation should maintain.  An alliance is formed on behalf of cities and nations through certain foreknowledge agreements that are sealed by blood, and this is where compromise is reached regarding how such cities or nations should express themselves in all manners of policies and values.

As I have said, my main objective in is article is to unmask the subtle, but a powerful operational spirit of Jezebel within the current global affairs which is unfortunately now shaping the narrative of most political debates and discussions as the battle for the position of power in the new world order plays out.

The reality is, the sociocultural ideologies of societies, including many, who today claimed to be Christ-followers unfortunately has almost been eroded by this wicked spirit of Jezebel to the degree that if what you think and say don’t fit into the narrative of political correctness, then you’re labelled as the enemy of God or enemy of the state.

This powerful Satanic system has almost capture, crippled, and redefine the identity, culture, and authority given by God to men to be responsible in presenting themselves, families and communities at large before the Lord as kingdom priests.  As we shall later study, we will highlight the main purpose of the spirit of Jezebel which is to mainly to emasculate, frustrate, and neutralize the identity and authority of manhood within society, and that is the current agenda across most countries in the name of democracy but in particular, in Europe and America.

Jezebel, the institutionalized power of governance

We are today seeing one of the greatest, satanic assault against the church and the lives of ordinary Americans. There are various ancient, demonic stronghold with being awaken today with the objective to disrupt, capture, and change the very prophetic identity of the people of America and the rest of the world as the Jezebel spirit leads this campaign.

This assault should be worrisome to all awakened sons of God, particularly, those with an advanced intercessory, leadership spirits, and elders within the order of the fivefold ministry. America is a strategic nation that plays a role in shaping the cultural and socioeconomic status of many continents. Whatever is birth, established and accepted within the context of the America society, it’s only a matter of times before such in adopted. The influence of America, globally, is a two-way stream; it all depends on the school of thought or agenda that is sought to be promoted from the political leadership class.

Every political party is an ideology that seeks to promote an ideological belief. these beliefs are systematically integrated into the political process that shapes and forms the policies that inform society. Therefore, we need to adjust our understanding and narratives about economic struggle. Behind the agenda of fighting for equality and prosperity, there are invisible key players that seek to manipulate the outcome of things. [Rev 18:} speaks about global trade and whom the world trades with.

Trade is not just about goods and services; the heart of global trade is about the influence of lives, territories and mineral resource, and no doubt America is a key player in this global trade as we can with the current trade war between the two parties biggest economy-China and America.

The nation of America has never been so divisive on almost everything, and there’s a reason for this. The election of Donald Trump as the president of America was a game-changer. His appointment was a statement that will shake the very foundation of certain narrative that seeks to utter and change the prophetic program of God not only for America but for the world at large.

The war between the nation of America and China is far beyond the idea of goods and service; the is about the control of power, and it’s important we have precise prophetic insight into what is going on. We have always taken the stand that God has a definite, prophetic program for each nation. No nation exists by their own effort or plan; God has set nations and regions where they are for his prophetic mandate. Just like Egypt, Mali empire, Rome, and Greece to mention a few, were a powerful trade route in the early century, United Kingdom, America, China and Russia are today, some of the most powerful economies, and this is translated to global influence or power.

America is currently being invaded by the spirit of Jezebel, and it’s critical for us to study what’s going on as we reexamine the word of God in finding the prophetic weapon to paralyze this spirit. What makes this study important is the fact that Jezebel operate under a false, illegitimate authority. Therefore, it is highly important we understand what leadership and spiritual authority mean, and how it’s designed to function, so we are not captured by false spirit in the name of leadership influence.

At this point, I’ll like to highlight some concerns I believe needs to be addressed in the context of the revelation of the spirit of Jezebel in relating to what is today known as political correctness, which is my strongest point has almost crippled the leadership authority ordained to guide and protect families and individuals from the assault of the forces of darkness.

One of the things that have become almost the trademark of the current political landscape of the European society and of cause, the larger American political narrative is the subjects on the accuracy of truth definition and other concepts around moral values, issues relating to biblical position of sociocultural and institutional development. These important fabrics of strong, family and institutional structures are almost no longer accepted, nor is room given to teach and debate on these subjects due to what is now known as gender sensitivity.

So, we are increasingly seeing certain important subject that speaks to the issue of moral correctness, faith, identity, the natural definition and characteristics of the male species, and the concept of womanhood from a sound, biblical perspective are today seen as unaccepted In the promotion of the idea of progressive beliefs.

The push for humanist value has almost eroded the right order of human existence and this is being promoted by the ideology of the new world order global narrative. Therefore, the idea of gender-sensitive has become a weapon the powers of darkness are today using to short down the voice of truth that needs to be had regarding the current distortion of the identity and structure of human values within society.

Today, many within the Church are almost crippled to speak out regarding certain laws and institutional practices that are contrary to their faith and believe due to the fear of powerful political backlash against their organization, this is totally unaccepted. Issues that deals with order, leadership and correctness regarding homes, family, marriage, manhood, and womanhood are all today left untouched.

Our children are becoming more and more confused and dysfunctional without the right leadership identity and authority to bring nurturing, correction, direction, and affirmation to them because the authority of father has almost been stripped from them through the Satanic influence of the spirit of Jezebel controlling the state powers.

The promotion of feminist power is destroying the very structure and order of family and societal values, and this is presenting feeding into how many now view the principle of God’s word. Many are now interpreting the word of God with the humanist and feminist lens view and this totally unaccepted.

The perversion of sexuality and the right order of identity, which speaks into who we are as the male man or a female, are almost now known existence. The moment you begin to deal with subject that points to certain wrong values connected to the female entity, suddenly it becomes an issue of the lack of gender insensitivity.

Many spiritual leaders are increasingly become frustrated due to the fact that they are not able to exercise the spiritual authority God has given to them in dealing with issues as they should be because they are afraid of not being politically correct. The idea of political correctness or gender equality is an idea that was systematically introduced into the political space through a Satanic agenda to create a false narrative of inequality on issue of gender so that the feminist agenda can use such a platform to promote the various program they desire to push to society and the various institutions of society.

The truth is, this has been the plan of Satanic agenda in promoting Jezebel influence as the economic system, empowered by state and global institutions to silence the voice of truth and to discredit and neutralize the authority of faith and God’s word in their so-called New Age, progressive society.

Revelation 18:1-3

After this, I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendour. 2With a mighty voice he shouted: “ ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ a She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. 3 For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”

The spirit of Jezebel which today has taken the form of political and economic authority and has infiltrated almost every arm of government institutions and sociocultural view.

Principle of spiritual authority

 and governmental warfare

by Isaiah-Phillips Akintola

Part 4

DEALING WITH THE GENERAL OVERVIEW OF

THE PRESENT NATURE OF ENGAGEMENT IN WARFARE.

Hebrews 11 32-38

32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.

35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again.

There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were put to death by stoning; e they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.

This highlighted scripture above defines the spiritual framework and character posture the ecclesia must assume as a kingdom priestly regents Heaven is empowering and releasing in this season of engaging the ongoing, complex issues and challenges the nation’s and creation is faced with under the insidious influence of the activity of Jezebel.

Divine upgrade

it is important to note that there’s a current, general update and upgrading of our spiritual base and the apostolic resources at our disposal in order to be effectively and efficiently prepared to  engage; this is to prevent us from being trapped by the same religious web of division and extremism that entangled many in the past who tried representing the purposes of God from a very shallow, narrow, and myopic perspective.

What is Gods agenda for the earth in this new day?

The Father’s agenda is to fill the earth {people} with the knowledge of his glory through a company of priesthood, emerging with the ascended revelatory reality of the son, but functions from an ascended, eternal realm of representation, the pattern of our ministry priesthood must change from the obsolete first and second day reality of representation; we must come into the ascended ministry lifestyle of Melchizedek.

Functioning within the framework authority and power of this priesthood is highly important if we must effectively move and function within the current Satanic activity challenging our position and identity in Christ.

The remnant of individuals who will live and function within the framework of the ongoing complex, false order off the earth must have shift from the house of Saul to the present, restored {house} tabernacle of David, and that is because only David carries the ascended insight of the authority of the kingdom to face and behead the giant, evil system challenging us today.

Beyond this, these company of men and woman will carry and operate in the iconic spirit of the patriarchs. Each of the Patriarchs represent a dimension of grace, wisdom, strategy, and capacity that must function in the power of corporate unity in dislodging the spirit of Darkness before us.

 These are days where Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Esther, Ruth, Elizabeth, Mary, and the rest are all being awaken within the hearts of the saints, emerging in their various respectable position in defeating the spirit of humanist, Satanic activity distorting the prophetic mandate of God for creation.

There’s no doubt that the Spirit of the Lord is forcefully leading the Body of Christ to a new position of more advanced, governmental engagement which requires we shift from our old position towards a more accurate, matured reality of the prophetic requirement of the Spirit for the season.

The nature of spiritual resistance and opposition we are faced with today, demands the finest of the Spirit of wisdom and faith. There’s a need we redefine and update our prophetic insight in order to be strategically repositioned with maximum, sustained capacity to advance.

The mandate of entering to repossess our lost spiritual space and heritage as legitimate, custodians of the earth has become an assignment that cannot be neglected nor defer to the future, yet, we have to advance with caution due to the kind of subtle but powerful enemy we are contending with.

The prophetic objective of rebuilding and restoring the architectural structure of the burnt gates and broken walls of lives, families, institutions, and the society at large, will certainly demand we move towards a more advanced, prophetic engagement towards all illegitimate spirits and entities at the gates.

Maintaining a biblically sound and balanced spiritual [perspective] neutrality in responding and representing the eternal agenda of the kingdom of God within a sharply, racially charged, and divided society is highly critical, if we are to truly manifest the spirit of redemption, healing and restoration to creation, and ultimately, reign with Christ in his millennial kingdom Age.

We cannot afford to be found biased, religious, and denominational in our prophetic philosophy and perspective as we advance in this season. Every form of charismatic, blind spot and misconceptions regarding the ascended, operational pattern and direction of the kingdom and its initiatives in this season must be thoroughly examined and addressed before we step out again in divine representation.

The position of our utilization of kingdom authority and power in warfare should be strictly built on the apostolic template of Christ nature and character which must not be compromised by any form of religious assumption, humanist beliefs, or some form of an overt, nationalistic, prejudicial attitudes.

This is the day of the operation of the kingdom values and principle, meaning, we have to test whatever we’ve been taught to believe in our various church community within the principles of the kingdom so we are not found to be misrepresenting Christ out there in the name of our own traditional, charismatic Church believes or expectations.

The standard is, if any man be in Christ and not in a church, such a person is a new creation, behold, old [ways, patterns, culture, ideologies, and philosophy] things have passed away, observe, all things have become new. The operational position of those in Christ is a spiritual value and posture of an ever-increasing newness. Newness should reflect the position of advanced spiritual development, perception, interaction, and engagement with all humans and creation regardless of how hateful or bitter they may be to us.

When Joshua met the captain of the Lord of host standing, he asked him if he was for them or against them, the captain of the Lord of the host said, am neither for both sides. This is an important truth and attitude we need to understand and embrace in a day where polarization has become the order of political engagement.

Religious bias and other forms of humanist prejudice will not only blind our insight from seeing the intention and direction of the Lord in this hour, but will in fact, cripple our ability and capacity to effectively engage in the arts of advance prophetic initiatives, even as we are called to charge in warfare against the spirit of Jezebel and the high places of our communities, cities and generation.

Laying this foundational narrative is crucial, because many are still divided behind some charismatic, religious ideological differences, fueled on racial grounds, depending on which side of the fence they find themselves. To develop a biblically sound world view in dealing with the socio-cultural and economic divides is to allow the Spirit of the Lord to first strip us of our presumptive ideas and knowledge, gathered under the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

 Secondly, is to allow the Father to enlighten and broaden our spiritual standpoint regarding the current political or socioeconomic realities of our time, which I usually term as a position of prophetic spectrum.

As we know, when a ray of light passes through a fraction prism, what we experience is a spectrum of colors. This truth is the same when considering the idea of allowing the light of God’s truth to pass through and permeate our spiritman, what happens is, we effectively see and identify the various, glorious, unique beauty and identity of the Father for each person, family, community, nation, continent, and of course, this generation as a whole.

PROPHETIC PRISM AND THE POSITION OF ELIJAH

To understand and effectively Administrate the justice system of the kingdom of God on earth, which is totally different in view and value from the humanist and religious viewpoint, is to be ready to prophetically represent the priestly, governmental authority of the kingdom of God according to Isaiah chapter 11.

A prophetic student will be keenly aware that one of the manifest Spirit of the last days and before the final coming of Christ is the spirit of Elijah, and we are told that this spirit, or, the posture of life if you will, carries the authority of reformation and restoration in the earth. We’ve seen the progressive released of this spirit in a dimension, right from the days of John the Baptist and throughout church history. Today, we are witnessing a greater outpour and the release of this spirit as we confront one of the deadliest, Satanic assault, unleashed upon this generation.

The restorative, prophetic capacity of the spirit and ministry of Elijah in this season is a clear sign of the accelerated nature of kingdom activity that is currently taking place across the earth. The emergence of the spirit of Elijah amongst other apostolic governmental grace being restored to the ecclesia is a high watermark in the call to the arena of divine representation, even as the day of the Lord becomes more eminent.

The kingdom of God is suffering violence, and the violence we must be ready to take by divine enforcement of kingdom truth. We shall further consider the relevant position and influence of the spirit of Elijah as we track the position of divine confrontation.

THE NATURE OF THE ENEMIE’S ATTACK

Therefore, in the context of this apostolic framework, our war gear of readiness and engagement must totally reflect what we see in Isaiah 11. Elijah which is a type of the Carmel skin we should wear in this season must be dressed in these qualities of spirit of Christ described as the full armor of God according to Ephesians chapter 6. Having brought this into perspective, we then need to begin to understand the nature of the common enemy of the kingdom we are assigned and dressed to deal with as a type of a Davidic generation, assigned to watch our father’s sheep.

Our position as watchmen requires that we are truly positioned with the capacity to watch the Lord’s sheep which is way beyond the walls of our local churches and families. We must be prepared to watch and guard the sheep against the humanist and religious lions and bears of our time. The spirits and assigned wicked systems out there now charging against the vulnerability and identity of the sheep of the Father out there must be protected across the nations.

THE VARIOUS FACES AND OBJECTIVE OF SATANIC ATTACK

Unmasking these lions and bears are a critical aspect of the current prophetic upgrade, so we can effectively channel our Strategic attack. There are several types of enemies with their unique focus of attack against the children of Israel as we see in the scripture. Each character manifested by the enemy reflects a specific objective of result in the mission to destroy the redemptive mandate of God for his people and the nations.

A significant number of the enemy’s attacks on the people of God are carried out through their own acts of rebellion and disobedience, and in some cases, their ignorance to the values and demand of the Lord as they are being led to their Promised Land.  It is critical we take time to study and carefully examine the various character, focus, methods, and objectives the enemy applies in launching its assault against the children of Israel.

This is important in unveiling the systematic idea of attack against the current Church and society in general. When the enemy, through a particular nation like the Philistine launches an attack, and decides to produce a key figure like the giant, Goliath of Gath, behind such an attack is an objective which is more stronger than the very confrontation itself which is to send a message to the nation of Israel and the next generation, and this message is fear and intimidation.

Fear was a powerful, effective weapon the Philistine and the Midianites used in trying to cripple the entire army of Israel from fighting until a young teenager who had conquered the spirit of fear, through the abiding presence of the Father in his life charged against Goliath.

We noticed the same concept of engagement about Giedion when he was called to lead his people to fight the Midianites and see to the freedom of the economic siege the Midianites waged against his people.  [Judges 6]

You’ll notice that the moment little David killed Goliath, the entire army of the Philistine fled, and the army of Israel that was once crippled by fear suddenly got bold and courageous as they chase after the army of the Philistine and defeated them. This is a powerful, strategic concept of tactical warfare playing out in our own very eyes today.

The enemy is using fear and intimidation against the Church, and many churches and its leadership have gone hiding. The spirit of Jezebel and the Midianites has pushed many into some holes and cave to hide; we’ve lost our voices on issues that truly matter. We are afraid to speak out against things we know we should not defend.

There’s but one enemy in the kingdom of darkness and we all know his name, but this enemy wear different faces; manifest different characters, expresses itself through various philosophical beliefs and uses different methods of attacks depending on what he desires to achieve in the battle.

The launch and objective of an attack, using culture or religion, seeks to creates a different objective and impact from the launch of attack, using slavery, racism, sexual perversion, and it certainly different from an attack that comes through poverty, sickness, or even some other forms of freedom and liberty, without a true sense of respect, responsibility or accountability to mention a few.

The enemy is a Strategist, master planner in launching his attack on humans, and where there’s no clear, prophetic, governmental oversight, societies, which includes, the church, becomes highly vulnerable and victims of such attack unfortunately.  As we understand this natural phenomenon, we Begin to gain keen insight into the nature of spiritual warfare, and the various methods the powers of darkness employ in attacking the church’s position and identity as the nation of God in the earth.

This understanding I’ve tried to lay down as a foundational framework of what we are trying to track through this message gives us the context of why I’ll like us to carefully examine the spirit of Jezebel as one of the most advance, Satanic, method of attacks in this season of kingdom warfare.

Principle of spiritual authority

 and governmental warfare

2 Corinthians 10

4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.

By Isaiah-Phillips Akintola

Part 3

Unmasking the architecture of Jezebel

WHO DEFINES YOUR RIGHT AND WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF JEZEBEL?

In this part three we are going to be defining the spirit of Jezebel, but before we do that, lets conclude the thought of line we’ve established in our former article on part 2

Continuation

The enemy the Church is confronting today is not interested in fighting a random battle; he is very deliberate, precise, and strategic in his use of weaponry and the nature of how the battle should play out.

Therefore, we must never put ourselves in a situation where the enemy can define the battleground or the weapon of warfare.

When we allow the enemy to use his narrative of weapons known as gender inequality, gender insensitivity, feminism, gay right,  child right, human right, social justice, and the so many ideas of reasons, defined through its own paradigm narratives, values, and belief system, we will eventually become entrapped and defeated.

The enemy has mastered the art of using State machinaries in circumventing legitimate reasons for specific laws and policies of the land.

The devil today is using sensual, humanist, ideologies, and wisdom as an effective tool in trying to frustrate and prevent the values and standard of the kingdom of God from being established in society.

Giving our rights to another definition of rights and false advocacy is the most foolish thing we can do, and am afraid, we have done.

By giving our rights to some advocacy with a different agenda that refuses to acknowledge the values and moral identity of God’s definition is indirectly abdicating our authority to the lies of the enemy who is entering our gardens again to challenge the authority and influence of heaven’s values over our space.

We cannot afford to make the same mistake the first man-made in the Garden. We cannot afford to get into slumber as women again; we cannot allow the enemy to use our inherent power of influence persuasion to manipulate things against the order of God.

You cannot allow the enemy to pervert and corrupt your administrative capacity to destroy what we are called to build and protect, and lastly, women, you cannot afford to offer your Bodies to fallen [spirits] angels’ knowns as sons of God to birth illegitimate, rebellious sons in the earth again. Genesis chapter 6

We are today is women today engaging in sexual intercourse with demonic spirits to gain influence, power, authority to push their agenda of male dominance.

Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and told me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. 2The kings of the earth were sexually immoral with her, and those who dwell on the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her immorality.” … Revelation 17:1-2

Spirits carry no gender

When we deal with a Satanic force like Goliath, we should know that we are dealing with in terms of the spiritual character that would manifest on the battleground. In most cases, we might find ourselves dealing with an intimidating, domineering male figure kind of character, that takes advantage of our lack of spiritual covering, insecurity, fear, and of course, the lack of the assurance of the presence of God.

Spiritual things are not limited, or necessarily defined by the gender they dress to manifest themselves.  I shall further explain is concept later, because I do think it’s highly important we deal with this misconception the enemy has often used to shut down certain important issues and teachings we need to carry out in the Body of Christ or even in the society because we don’t want to sound to be offending the opposite sex.

There’s no room for ignorance or sentiment in this season of advanced warfare.  There’s a reason why the Father sent his Son to die for humanity as a male man and not a woman, and there’s a reason why wisdom is often referred to as a figure of a woman. If you study the book of revelation, you’ll immediately notice that the ultimate battle is between two women and not two men. In fact, the battle of creation right from the book of Genesis to the book of the end-revelation is about two women, two kinds of wisdom, and two types of knowledge.

God did not create the woman as the man’s competitor; no. Elohim, in his sovereign wisdom, authority, and power created the woman as man’s [complement] completion. If this perspective is not clear, we will always embrace the humanist narrative of the New Age which has almost succeeded in putting the woman against the man, and this is the number one reason many Churches, marriages and families are imploding and collapsing today.

Everything the Father does, carries a unique, prophetic, fingerprint objective, and we should carefully seek to understand his ways and arrangements of life in the light of these objectives, including the role and position of the female and male, man, so we don’t fall into the deception of the New Age spirit that is pushing certain feminist narrative that is painting God as bias or sexist. We must track and unravel the nature of spirit manifesting through an antagonistic, feminist and humanist character.

If we neglect to address this important aspect, am afraid that we have bought into the very narrative the enemy wants the Church and the nations to accept. Both the beautiful image, character, and inherent administrative value of women is currently under relentless assault, and many of our sisters, particularly, our church women have not yet truly identified this attack, even though we all can see these devastating assaults against our homes and family institutions.  So, let us attempt to define what the spirit of Jezebel is as we continue to unravel the operation of this evil spirit.

DEFINING THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL

And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.… 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8

Revelation 2:18

From the points we’ve highlighted we can begin to have a vivid image of this entity anointed to fight and resist the plan and purposes of God for a nation, society, family, and individuals. We must make it plain again that while the default operational framework of this spirit function through the persona of a female character, it is, however, not a female spirit as we have explained, nor is the spirit limited to a woman character as much as it prefers a woman character to operate.

Jezebel is an operational, governmental principality that is set up from the powers of darkness to frustrate the redemptive and prophetic initiatives of God over nations. To effectively identify the image and character of this spirit we will have to go to the book of Revelation. Any spirit we see in the Old Testament that shows up again in the book of revelation is worthy of note because there’s every likelihood that we are dealing with a territorial and generational principality.

Like I’ve said earlier, Jezebel is a principality assigned over realms that seeks to control, corrupt, hinder, frustrate and destroy in order and pattern of God’s intent. When our Lord Jesus Christ described Satan as a thief that has come to steal, kill, and destroy, this description perfectly fit into the character of Jezebel.

Beyond the fact that Jezebel kills the prophets of God and send the Saints into hiding, she is in fact, a thief that forcefully takes want doesn’t belong to her and kills the owner as we see in the case of Naboth [1 Kings 21:5-6].  This spirit goes further to destroy men’s identity by emasculating their manhood by destroying the entire family order and system of existence. Further still, Jezebel turns the hearts of a whole nation from serving the true God according to the biblical pattern of worship to serving Baal which is her primary objective.

In other words, the pursuit of idol worship [the worship of self, feminism] and sexual perversion is the trademark of the spirit of Jezebel when she is unleashed upon society. The scripture informs us that when Jehu was sent to carry out the final judgment of God upon Jezebel that she beautifies her face and dressed her heir, postured herself by the window to entice Jehu.

If Jehu was never (empowered by the Spirit) anointed by the prophet of God for this high-level assignment, I believe that Jehu would have been seduced by Jezebel’s charm, and he would have been able to carry out the execution against her.  All the Spirit of the Lord is highlighting regarding this evil spirit has a direct implication and lesson for us today, so, we are not entrapped by the seductive, destructive spirit of Jezebel.

 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness a is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

The spirit of Jezebel is one of the major high places that demands we collaborate our God-given governmental grace, resources, and capacity to effectively deal with, less, our children and the next generation continue to suffer her attack. It took a three-generational anointing to finally destroy this spiritual entity wearing the persona of a woman.  

My prophetic mandate is to unmask the architectural structure of this powerful Satanic spirit that has crawled into the very framework of society and is now expressing false prophetic and teaching spirit within the Body of Christ.

As we can see according to the book of Revelation chapter two that this Satanic spirit took upon herself a persona of a prophet and claimed the position of a teacher. These are two profound areas that shape the minds and believe system of the people of God, and the society we are assigned to disciple, and if we allow this spirit to capture the office and ministry of the prophet and that of the teacher, our apostolic thrust is as good as being compromised. It’s important we state this point clear that there’s no bias in the Father; he does not choose sides.

To limit our acceptance or rejection of the spirit of Jezebel on the premise of gender indeed, reflects our immaturity and the lack of spiritual understanding regarding the ministry of redemption, of cause, to live in some form of self-denial in the operation of this spirit within individuals, families, community and nations is to have bought the lies and deception of the enemy.  The Enemy throughout history as used the card of race, gender, religion, culture, and inequality to mention a few, to perpetuate his destructive agenda, but the church itself, in her spiritual blindness, has exacerbated this evil.

God in his wisdom, created male and female as part of his eternal prophetic plan and governmental administrative executives on earth. The structure of community which begins from the family unit is a powerful expression of the Father’s wisdom and creativeness in growing and developing humanity. These two organs of government called man and woman carries a unique assignment in the support and execution of the Father’s eternal program on earth. We shall later expand on this thought as we continue to develop the foundational framework of this subject.

The first time I did an intensive teaching on this subject was in the year 2001, and in fact, I found one of the notes I wrote back then on this subject recently, and the truth is, there’s still a great sense of relevancy and coherency to what the Spirit of the Lord said back then to the current emphasis of the Spirit of the Lord. The only difference is that my understanding of interpreting what was written then is now broadened and clearer as the spirit of wisdom has brought perspective and maturity in the arts of prophetic insight and interpretation.

The nature of spiritual activity today has drastically changed at an accelerated level since 2001 yet, the problems back then, are as vicious and complex as they are today. But as we can see, these challenges, particularly, the attack on race, morality, truth, justice, and religious rights have become more hostile to the point of polarizing society. It’s as if the stage is being set for the anti-Christ, the man of sin to take the stage openly.

The manifestation of Satanic forces of the earth has been so unprecedented, and therefore, it will be right for us to begin to contextualize the present prophetic activity of God, particularly when we examine what is currently playing out within the political ideology of the nations around the world but in particular, the United State of America due to its power and influence globally. It is important we thoroughly examine the present battle taking place in America, to appreciate the degree of the influence and impact of the spirit of Jezebel.

2 Corinthians 10

4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.

By Isaiah-Phillips Akintola

CONTINUATION

{2 Kings 9:30-35}

SEASONS OF INCREASED TRUTH INCREASES SPIRITUAL COMPETENCE

Revelation 17:1-2

One of the seven angels who had poured out the seven bowls came over and spoke to me. “Come with me,” he said, “and I will show you the judgment that is going to come on the great prostitute, who rules over many waters. 2The kings of the world have committed adultery with her, and the people who belong to this world have been made drunk by the wine of her immorality.”

Our [kings] political and spiritual leaders have falsely joined themselves in sexual intercourse with the spirit of the harlot to pervert the holy seed; Churches within the nations are today infested with a familiar spirit, occultic practices has almost replaced authentic worship; ministry born through the influence of fallen angelic beings with the daughters of men are replacing the voice of true apostolic ministry. Strangers have become a legitimate voice within the house of God demanding the worship of the Saints.

A different believe the system has become the accepted culture and ideology that rules and guide the leadership within the walls of the Church. Idolatry has replaced the worship of the true God. The worship of mammon, [charm] beauty, gifts, talents, personality drive, have all been exchanged for the position of truth and the values of kingdom validation.

Our paradigms have been distracted and shifted from the journey to Zion, to now turning back to the way to Egypt. We have been invaded; we have been captured, and we are now being led into captivity within the unregenerated minds of our soul. [Exodus 32:1-5] Many have now gathered for themselves teachers that only tells them what they want to hear. If what they hear does not suit their narrative of political correctness and religious tolerance, they discard such truth, and claim, we don’t have love. [2 Timothy 4:1-5]

Jezebel’s high places have almost replaced true worship centers across the nations. We are not only seeing high places being built for the worship of Baal and other foreign gods within our societies and its various government institutions, but these high places are also powerfully being built within our homes and various communities.

Behind the so-called worship, praise, sermons, teachings, training, and programs we offer, are unbelievable spirits of compromise found. Many of our leaders have dedicated themselves to the worship of foreign gods; Satanic and demonic activities are taking place behind the cotton walls of our worship center to stir the heart of the Father to jealousy. Read Ezekiel chapter 8.

They’ve been numerous teachings, books, and materials released from time to time in the Body of Christ regarding the spirit and character nature of Jezebel, which I believed were quite interesting and helpful in many ways to the Body of Christ, particularly, amongst those graced in the spirit of intercession and spiritual warfare.

We have, however, witnessed in the past two decades, an increase in the ascended, revelation of Christ, and the use of advanced, prophetic tools within the context of the ministry of wisdom, even as the light of the kingdom of God becomes more visible in our day.

These two inputs have exponentially increased our position of light within the systemic darkness of the day and have also accelerated our understanding regarding the subtle operations of the forces of darkness, both within the Church and across the shifting sociocultural identity battle within the nations. Indeed, only in the ever-increasing light of Christ do we have increased light to recognize and uncover the various systemic, Satanic activity of darkness in this Age.

Both the operation and weapons of darkness in our day have changed from how we used to be able to identify them in the past, to a more vicious, but subtle form of an attack playing out on the platforms of what defines our identity, faith, morality, family values, and economic provision.

However, the deadliest attack of this New Age Jazebelic attack is directly targeted toward disfiguring human identity and destroying the biblical spiritual foundation and framework of godliness. The mystery of iniquity is viciously attacking anyone who desire to live by the mystery of godliness, but we know that the mystery of godliness at the long run will overcome these forces of darkness.

I do not believe that the challenge regarding this subject is merely around the exposure of the spirit of Jezebel as a present-day Satanic, operating system, as important as this is. I, however, believe that the Church’s focus should be more about developing the required leadership, governmental wisdom, courage, and attitude, willing to precisely identify, confront, and uproot the systemic architectural layout of the spirit of Jezebel within the Church and in the society.

The Saints needs to be resourced on around sound, biblically governmental, intercessory maturity and authority in confronting this wicked, territorial, spirit, and this is what I hope to achieve through these series of teachings.

The biblical spiritual quality standard that will uncover and neutralize the operation of Jezebel today will have to carry a more advanced, governmental position of authority than what was exercised under the Old covenant for several reasons we must identify.

In other words, our current apostolic position of hindsight, insight, and foresight of biblical history, doctrinal balance, and the discerning knowledge of the present ecclesia position us in a better spiritual location to proceed and maneuver our strategies in confronting this high-power principality of a spirit called Jezebel.

The abdication of leadership position

Read Genesis chapter 6

The only reason why we are seeking to deal with this issue today is due to the rebellion and the abdication of leadership position and authority from Church leaders just as we saw in the Garden. When Adam abdicated his governmental position and influence over the space heaven authorized him to dress and watch, Satan came in to displayed and dispossessed him of his identity as a man, as a husband, and of course, as a father.

“But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way”.

[Mathews 13:25]

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels [Mathews 13:38,39]

And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. 13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve. 2 Corinthians 11: 12-15

IMAGE OF THE BEAST AND THE BATTLE OF

THE WOMAN’S IDENTITY IN UNCOVERING JEZEBEL.

There’s no doubt that we are dealing with the same spirit that showed up during the days of Elijah, but the current operation and manifestation of this spirit has become even more advanced, systematic, and governmental in appearance according to our text scripture in Revelation 2:18-23

Arguably, this topic is one of the most sensitive subjects, and to an extent, divisive in many parts of Christian communities. However, the relevancy and timing of this subject are extremely important to the present emphasis of the Spirit, if the mandate of the kingdom must become a true, effective reality in our day and generation.

Due to the Immature mishandling and the imbalance approach to the doctrinal and prophetic teaching around the understanding of this subject, many, particularly, women, have become offended, resistant, and in some cases have outrightly rejected the notions around the spirit of Jezebel because they deem it as a direct attack on their gender, and to a large extent, they are right.

The point however is, the lack of understanding regarding how to precisely diagnose and interpret what the Lord is showing us through this character that took the woman’s persona to manifest its atrocious evil on humanity is what needs to be dealt with in this season of increased hate, division, and destruction.

Accurate biblical kingdom principle, values and interpretation of truth relating to this subject are critical, especially when the false narrative behind the character and authority of women has almost been accepted as the truth. The fact is, they’ve been many instances where men, in political and spiritual leadership, have sought to use inaccurate interpretation of the word of God to promote their own religious, traditional beliefs, bias, and false, masculine agendas against women.

We should never forget that most of what we claim to be biblical in terms of beliefs and practices are nothing more than the extension of our ancient, cultural beliefs and values. Many are still practicing what I term as environmental Christianity. This Christianity accepts the predominant societal values and practices, embraces ancestral rites, beliefs and practice, it imports humanist values, racial prejudice, gender superiority, and other forms of biases that are totally misrepresenting the ordained order, value and standard of God for his creation, and of course, against the established apostolic framework of the function of the Ecclesia’s community.

The Church of the Lord is not the extension of our culture, tradition or even patriotic national identity; the Church has been called out of such values, and it should be related to from such ascended, perspective regarding any matter or subject we are dealing with.  The Church was assigned to set a better quality of lifestyle and relationship in society.

How ideologies that shaped societal practice.

Often, when dealing with certain issues in society or even within the context of the Bible, we forget that the world we live in today has been shaped by various beliefs, values, ideologies that were embraced by those who ruled and reign during the ancient civilizations. These philosophies were approved on the backdrop of imperial decrees, political status and influence, which are products of powerful men in the society with economic advantage who often occupy high religious positions.

 These beliefs and wrong values established by men were centered around state security and the power of family and business succession. It was a general belief that the male child will be in a better position to secure the name and wealth of the family, and this belief filtered into the extended society.

These nations divide society into compartments, of Royal born, The high class, low class, and slaves. Men were defined and seen as instrument of strength, war, and political rulers. The woman on the other hand were also classified into Royal born, high class, priestess, middle class [those born into the home of merchants, servant of Royal born or military generals] and slaves.

It is almost seen as a curse if a family doesn’t have a male child. The two most powerful and influential civilizations which were the Roman and Greek reconfigured how the human being is to be examined, valued and defined.

God’s word and its precise interpretation should always define where we stand in our personal or worldview. Taking one aspect of biblical truth like the popular one, where Paul said that women should be quiet in the house of God, and if they have any question regarding what was preached, they should discuss it with their husband when they get home.

Unfortunately, scripture like this has been extremely abused due to the lack of doctrinal knowledge, historic background, and what could be defined as the practice of tradition imported into the community of the Saints. This was a statement that was made to curtail an increase of wrong attitude, arguments, subordination, confusions, and disorderliness that was publicly playing out between husbands and wives who had been once culture by the general believe system and practice of the dominant philosophy of their day.

The freedom and liberty these new converts were beginning to enjoy in the community of the Saints were being perverted to the degree of almost creating anarchy in the household of God, and Paul had to step in as the Apostle of God in bringing judgement and correction.

Apparently, this was a growing problem amongst the new converts who were joining the community of the early Church. The liberty many enjoyed when they came into the assembly of the Saints were being taken for granted to the point the Church became an open ground to settle personal, domestic issues.

The liberty and recognition ordinary women were never given in the society to express their spiritual or political opinion under the Roman law and the Greek culture was something new they had in the community of the Body of Christ when the joined. Unfortunately, these liberties were being abused and misused as wives challenge their husbands openly without respect and regards to the sanctity of the house of God.

 Both the Greek and the Roman culture, and of cause, the Rabbinic Jewish tradition, impact a great deal on the belief and character ideologies of the people while they were being integrated into the early Church community just as it is today.

The point here is, Apostle Paul was establishing a different order and pattern for the Saints lifestyle; a community whose domestic expression should reflect the value, order, discipline, respect and honor in place of the compromised, prevalent culture of the environment of the day which was categorized in dominance, disrespect and lawlessness.

Ephesians 5

21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22, Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing b her by the washing with water through the word, 27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. 1 Corinthians 14:34

Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. Anyone who have studied the book of Corinthians one would appreciate the depth of confusion and factionist attitude in the Church while they boast of their individual gifts and preferred ministers.

1 Corinthians 11:3

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Luke 8:

1 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.

The position of defining and understanding spiritual authority is still very vague today in the Church unfortunately. Many of the things we are doing in terms of ministry functionality and their administrations are unfortunately carried out either through some passed down denominational traditions, religious bias, or a total resistance, and defiance of the former set rules. This is what has fueled many of the breakaway in the Body of Christ, and the feminist narrative agenda even within the church space today.

My intention

My intention however on this critical subject is not one with bias, or with the agenda to offend any person, especially women, after all, we are all sons of God, assigned to address every high place and strongholds of darkness, position to exalt themselves above the knowledge and wisdom of God over the nations.

Dealing with spiritual high places cuts across gender, race, social status, age, and spiritual rankings. Everyone must understand the role we have to play in bringing down this towering spirit of a principality by the name Jezebel.  We know that the manifestation of certain spirits or demonic character uses either a male or female gender to express a peculiarity objective within the context of an assault that is launched by the enemy.

2 Corinthians 10

4 The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish [high places] strongholds. 5 We tear down arguments, and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.

One of the things that make the spirit of Jezebel more threatening and dangerous than the other forms of Satanic operatives is for the fact she has the power to alter what you think, see, believe, and ultimately worship. She has the capacity to multiply herself through her seed and the altars she builds in places known as the high places across societies. We shall later examine the characteristics of the spirit.

UNMASKING JEZEBEL’S

ARCHITECTURE OVER THE NATIONS

by Isaiah-Phillips Akintola

 Revelation 2: 18

“To the angel of the church in Thyatira write:

These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.

20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. 21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.

INTRODUCTION

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.

Permit me to start this note by defining the meaning of a thief because it gives us a footing and a perspective into what we shall be examining at the cause of this message. A thief is defined as a person who steals another person’s property, especially by stealth [cautious and surreptitious] and without using force or threat of violence.

This scriptural declaration by our Lord Jesus Christ himself and the definition of a thief give a clear, in-depth, characteristics of the subtle nature of the battle we’ve found ourselves as the Body of Christ. This description further defines for us how we should engage the reality of the days we’re in with a deep sense of cautiousness, sobriety, and prophetic discernment.

We are back to the very same point and method the enemy used in invading the Garden in Genesis without the voice or visibility of the man placed in charge to challenge the invasion of his space and territory.

As the Garden was invaded and violated by Lucifer, the Church and the nations today are being invaded by the same enemy who is now using the rebellious spirit and persona of the woman called Jezebel. 

The increase of deception and seduction to lure the nations and the Saints to follow the charming voice of the woman who sits upon many waters, according to the book of Revelation has become increasely visible in many homes, government institutions and Churches across the globe. The degree of compromise in today’s Church as seen in the society is a testimony to the failure of sound leadership.

The central focus of this teaching, we are about to examine is the concept of a failed leadership. Leadership is about being present and visible! Jezebel thrives where sound, biblical spiritual leadership has been compromised as we saw regarding King Ahab of Israel.

The powerful spirits of deception, delusion, and corruption begins to operate in a society, family, or Church when fathers and leaders abdicate their position and responsibility.  It is my strong believe that behind the woes of today’s civilization is the reality of leadership failure. We shall later consider these points as the Lord will grant us direction.    

There’s no doubt the nature of the battle the Church of the Lord is currently faced with, characterize the spirit of Jezebel, and we are going to examine this spirit as we allow the Lord to open our eyes of wisdom and spiritual understanding.  We shall look at what Jezebel is currently stealing, killing and destroying both the Body of Christ and within society.

There’s no doubt we are living in one of the most intense seasons of spiritual warfare seen the beginning of human history, and this battle will continue to increase even as the Church and the nations enter the scope of the visibility of the manifestation of the kingdom of God.

The closer we step towards the declaration of the appearance of Christ’s government on earth, the more intense our battles, birth pang, and of course, our tribulation.

The sociocultural war of ideology and identity dysfunctionality we are seeing today, even in the Church, reveals without a doubt the narrative objective the enemy desire to see. However, this battle is far from you a cultural war; it is a spiritual battle that is geared toward a total annihilation of human dignity, morality, and obedience toward the standard of God and his kingdom.

Only those aware of this diabolic attack and have been well built and equipped with the sevenfold spirit of Christ will stand their ground in facing this deadly assault. Ignorance of the ways of the Lord and his dealings both within human affairs and the Church of the living God is already costing many in the Body of Christ in a great deal, but I hope that through some points that will be highlighted through this note will help you see things in divine perspective.  

Perspective is everything when it comes to understanding and responding to the demands and challenges of our day. Both reading and studying the word of God in the light of revelation and spiritual understanding in such a manner that gives clarity and illumination is a high virtue required today in dealing with many of the seemingly complex questions being asked, and I hope by the end of this resource note, with the series of videos webinars already published on this topic should add to the  insights and keys of the kingdom to effectively bring answers, solution, and direction.

The current assault to change God’s moral code, order, values, and standard of existence is a deliberate attack on the wisdom of God that has intensified in a manner that is almost eroding the position of spiritual authority and leadership within the community of God’s people, and this is where we need to walk in reclaiming our position of biblical truth and its foundation.

The assault of Satanic powers through the spirit of Jezebel is one major battle today’s church and society is faced with, and unfortunately, many, including some of our spiritual leaders are not adequately equipped nor prepared to face. This is a battle that has already claimed many lives in the Body of Christ.

My joy however is, the Lord does not wait for everyone to be ready before he begins to equip his Saints to rise and fight the enemy already causing casualties across the nations.

We are now being giving spiritual tools, for divine upgrade; additional kingdom keys to unlock truths that will allow us to strategically address certain challenges that may seem as complex, or even mysterious to us at this end of days. Getting the keys and access the realms in the Father are two different things.

It seems to me while ready Mathews 16:20 that the first key to access within the bunch of keys is the revelation of Christ.  And Jesus Christ said to his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.

Let’s look at some scripture to give us perspective.

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” 20 Then He admonished the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ. Mathews 16:18-20

Galatians 3:

1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?

Revelation 2:18-23

18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.

20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. 21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.

Daniels 7:25-26

And the ten horns are ten kings who will rise from this kingdom. After them another king, different from the earlier ones, will rise and subdue three kings. 25 He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the set times and laws, and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time. 26 But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.…

Engaging the reality of the season

We now live in days where the prevailing culture of Babylon and the ancient, established high places has almost swallowed the moral compass and spiritual identity of many who claimed to be followers of Christ and members of his kingdom.

The dominant culture of the New Age spirits and the awakened occultic, eastern demonic worship order has almost succeeded in changing the names, language, diet, and apparels of many, particularly, in the Western world concept of Christianity as we’re now seeing in Africa and the rest of the world.

As this Satanic agenda that seeks to change times and set laws, continue to harass the Saints and the nations, [ set time and laws, meaning, moral, ethical standards of human existence and biblically sound spiritual values] many, unfortunately, have given into this false agenda and lies because they were never grounded in the spiritual philosophy of a sound, apostolic biblical paradigm.

Millions of Christians today are now being assimilated into the very way of life we’ve been empowered and commissioned [sent] to change; the people we are called to redeem, disciple, and deliver for the Lord have almost managed to capture our weak spiritual position and ideology of ‘Christianity’. They are pursuing the agenda to change the times and the laws of God before our very eyes while we hide in caves and holes as we see during the reign of Ahab and Jezebel.

The spirit that captured the kings of the earth have managed to bewitch and seduce society, they’ve been charmed and bewitched; the spell of Jezebel is today written all over our desires, actions, conducts, our pattern of thinking, desires, spiritual, and emotional preferences, unfortunately.

To be continued.

THE NEUTRALITY OF GOD’S INTERVENTION

/ Portalsgate / Leave a comment

INTERPRETING WITH ADVANCED SIGHT REGARDING GOD’S INTERVENTION OVER THE PRESENT BATTLE OVER THE NATION OF AMERICA, SOUTH AFRICA, AND THE REST OF THE NATIONS.

Several parallels, or do I say paradox is taking place within the nations, particularly, in America, South Africa, Nigeria, as well as the UK but it will take a genuinely advanced, prophetic ( spirit) sight to bring clear prophetic, perspectives and interpretations to these things to the extent that we are not overrun by our views or well ingrained religious and nationalistic or globalist prejudice in our analysis.

13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”

14 “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord e have for his servant?”

Joshua 5:13-14

Only those who have explicit, in-depth knowledge of biblical definition and spiritual perspective regarding  present, global crisis  are able to clearly see things, and correctly separate truth from their own human (views) interpretation and expectations.

When Joshua saw this man standing, he immediately placed a presumption perspective and expectation on the stranger without allowing the man with a draw sword to introduce himself, and this is the unfortunate stand or view many Christians have chosening in  approaching  the many complex issues of life. Sometimes, the place or point where we stand regarding the battle of life can preoccupy and overwhelm our thoughts to the degree that they negatively impact or blur our judgement. 
While standing before a type of a Jericho’s resistance challenge, we should never allow our prophetic perspective of approach to be compromised. Keeping a perspective of balance of judgement in decision without being pushed into a comer of concluding on issues we are get to get divine judgement could cost us. 

We must be cautious that we don’t continue to promote the narrative of God is for us, and he is against them. The perspective of Which side God is regarding certain issues must require well matured, biblical and spiritual insight. Our battle must always be on. The point of principle and value and never on the personality. The rules of engagement regarding the battles of life, especially in this season demands we excercise the finest of redemptive approach to any situation as kingdom regents.  Joshua was taught a good listen that Jehovah is not a politician; God is neither a Republican nor is he a Democrat.

The God of America, as he is likewise the God of the rest of the world is not on the side of our religious or political biases.

He maintains his position of neutrality in his redemption purpose of all human.

It is us that must align our belief, motive, and agendas to his define standard.

For us to precisely see and appreciate the deliverance methodology of the Father for our nation and generation, we have come to the place of circumcision.

The Lord of Host wants to remove the reproach of our nations, including that of the United States of America, but it will not be done on some charismatic, believe or manipulation of intervention.

Hearts must be brought to God in sincere repentance from our blind spots, religious prejudice, our ingrained superior complex attitudes.

Pride must come down, and humility must be exalted and allow to flow like a river starting from the heart of the head of state to the ordinary Jones on the street.

Everyone needs to be circumcised by heart as we approach the battle of Jericho.

This battle will only be won through the power of obedience and the presence of God.

The priest must now take their place as the undress themselves from the spirit of pride and arrogance that kept them blind. It’s time to be redressed to bear the government of the nation upon their shoulders again.

The governing authority that will bring healing to the nation of America, South Africa and the rest of the world will flow from shoulders that have perfected the sacred call of carrying the (ARK) Presence of God.

May the Lord continue to grant us his grace and wisdom to both see and share in his truth with the finest of redemptive spirit, and ascended revelation in this season.

Iron must continue to sharpen iron for us to develop and maintain clearer, biblical, prophetic insight and wisdom in our interpretation!

IN SEARCH OF SOUL SALVATION NOTE 3

The principle of soul redemption.

BY ISAIAH-PHILLIPS AKINTOLA

2 Timothy 3:5

Having a form of godliness but denying its power.

Have nothing to do with such people.

FOR SOUL REDEMPTION. NOTE 3

PRESUMING SPIRITUAL MATURITY

Thanks for stopping by to read the concluding article on this subject, I hope it will help to realign your heart to the current emphasis of the Lord, or maybe, reaffirm the things you already know regarding this vital subject.

There are still lots of loose ends regarding our understanding of redemption we need to carefully address, especially in this period, heaven is inviting us to a more ascended, position of governmental authority and representation.

Countless many, as we can see in the word of God and in modern history were defeated by the enemy during their prime days of strength and glory. A very good example of this is that of Rehoboam, Son of King Solomon. The scripture affirms that when Rehoboam’s position as the King of Israel was firmly established with all the fortified cities he had built and the great numbers of armies at his disposal, he and the rest of the people abandoned the laws and ways of God.

It was clear that this king did not understand the principle of redemption, solidly built on an ongoing, developmental relationships. He thought he could use God to achieve something grand for himself and the nation with maintaining a heart of love and commitment to the ways of God.  This is the same value system many have applied towards their relationship and interaction with the things of the Spirit, and this is the reason why many are struggling to find joy, peace, and righteousness in their so-called Christian faith.       

2 Chronicles 12:1-2

After Rehoboam’s position as king was established and he had become strong, he and all Israel a with him abandoned the law of the Lord. Because they had been unfaithful to the Lord, Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem in the fifth year of King Rehoboam.

For us to effectively present ourselves as accompany of them ready to represent the Father’s prophetic intention for this season, we must close the various gaps of truth, insight, Revelation, and wisdom within the basic philosophy of our spirituality.

Becoming an integrated, spiritual, kingdom entity is a must in our qualification of advancement to the next frontier, and I do believe this is one of the main reasons the Spirit of the Lord is calling our attention to this subject of the salvation of the Soul.

What differentiates David from Saul was where they stand regarding the work with God in leading the people, and how they responded to the voice of God when they were both found wanting. Perfection is never about a sinless life as critically important, we daily press towards a sacred life of consecration, but about how we honestly respond to our sinful acts.

King Saul responded with lies, deceit, and self-glory to the voice of God’s judgment while David responded in repentance, humility, and submission to the judgment of God. These two individuals highlight the configuration of the hearts of those called and anointed by God to carry out an assignment for him.  Pride and self-deception are one of the most powerful weapons the enemy has used right from the days of the fall of the first man and his wife in the garden. 

To effectively deal with the dysfunctional character, nature within us, we must be honest, truthful and willing to allow God into every aspect of our lives. Those who hide behind the term, ‘am a Christian’ without adhering to the value standard of a Christ-like life are deceiving themselves, and the enemy loves such individuals.    

 Apostle Paul, in his letter to Timothy, who was the resident Elder of the Church of Ephesus, highlighted this critical point, which is still the main challenge of today’s Church, which is, the idea that we can replace authenticity with a form. A form is that which looks like, feels like, sound like, but in fact, it’s fake. This text speaks of having a form of godliness but denying its power is something that should seriously concern any true spiritual leader and any serious follower of Christ.

The form of godliness has almost replaced the authentic, particularly, amongst spiritual leadership, and this has unfortunately opened the many lives to the lies of the enemy, particularly in the arena of spirituality. Many of the messages, teachings, and so-called biblical initiatives we see being practiced today are nothing but products of forms of godliness while the power of the gospel of the kingdom is being denied.

This lie has eaten deep into how the majority see and relate to the salvation’s relationship. There’s a lot of activity to show some sense of commitment to the ways of God while deep beneath the hearts of this professed believers this a disconnection. The mismatch in the Church today is a serious issue of not understanding the nature or function of the operation of the Soul, which I believe needs to be urgently addressed before it’s too late.

THE COST OF PRESUMPTION

To presume, and generalize knowledge, and the progressive experience in spiritual subjects is to make one of the greatest errors in the art of spiritual journey. Spiritual things from biblical perspective are often not related to formulas. Secondly, when it comes to the issue of Spiritual maturity, you begin to talk about the reality of kingdom principle and Christ lifestyle which is alien to what many have come to believe and accept as Christianity today.

Most of the teachings and traditions being practiced in our Christian gathering and denominations are a clear extension of the refined Roman-catholic Spirit and Judaism, traditional practice. These two schools of thoughts are the most influential customs that influence what today known and called the Christian religion is, and of course, they are not consistent with what Christ established as his ecclesia.  You must have noticed that this two-main influence, with many others, carries a form of godliness, but denies the power of right biblical value relationship.    

A FORMULA OF RELATIONSHIP, WHICH ONE SHALL IT BE?

A formula by design will always give a predicted result as long as your calculation is defined and precise in relating to your expected result. However, in spiritual dealings and realities, you can accurately get all the formulas right and still not arrive at your predictive, expected outcome. Why? The Father never intends to relate to his body of the earth from a mentality or perspective of some formulas or laws. Yes, in our early days of the salvation experience, we might assume that the Father can be related to from a position of specific formulas.

MY PERSONAL JOURNEY

 Example, I could still remember when I was growing in the Lord, often times when I pray regarding certain issues of need, I will usually get my prayer answered almost exactly the way I have requested it. I had somewhat mastered the formula of my approach to God in terms of what I desire him to do in my life, and to some level, it seems the Father was playing along in relating to me in terms of this limited, somewhat religious mind frame I was using to approach him.

I was innocent, naïve, or even ignorant regarding the ways of the kingdom. Back then, I am not sure if I do understand what salvation truly means and how to experience the spiritual life within my new relationship with the Father.

All I did was an extension of what I see many do around. I didn’t understand that there’s anything like spiritual development or the right protocol value of approaching the things of the kingdom. All I understood was the language of the word of faith; confess it and claim it, and then, a lot of hype in my praise and prayers; and of course, a passionate sense of worship without necessarily understanding what I was doing as long as there’s the result. I was result oriented and not principle and value focus like many believers back then. 

If I can pray the more and worship with more passion, God will answer my prayers. As you can see, my motive of doing those things was already predicated on what God can do for me, rather than, doing those things because I am a son, called and chosen to give glory to my Father who has already given all things to me. 

RITUAL OR SPIRITUALITY?

The unfortunate thing however was, these powerful spiritual principles of approach back then were taught from a perspective of what I can gain or get in return for my benefit. Basically, this concept, or idea of spirituality, is a user-friendly philosophy of spirituality’. Everything is passionately pursuit if it is going to bring me a blessing, increase, promotion personally, and prosperity regardless of the alternative Father may have in store for me.

As you can see, the principles were right, but the motives were utterly wrong. Unfortunately, this is how many are still approaching the things of God, which is formula based. This is an approach of a slave, orphan spirit many are still expressing in their spiritual quest.  The Father does not desire to deal with any of his children from this fallen, humanist, religious value. Formula is a deep reflection of the ministry of the law still operating in our lives.

We are called to journey in the redeemed nature of our Spirit in a true relationship; a relationship that is born out of trust, faith, and complete obedience to the ways and life of the kingdom of God. 

The term relationship is one of the most abused and misunderstood words today, both in the body of Christ and generally in society. And this is a deliberate, strategic plan from the kingdom of darkness to corrupt, dilute, and desensitize the power and value the word, like many others within the hearts of men.

WHEN SPIRITUALITY MEANS SOMETHING ELSE

There’s no strategy as powerful as reducing or nullifying the meaning of something in the public domain until such a thing means something else from its original meaning of intent. This is one subtle way the enemy has tried desensitizing our spiritual sight and values, especially in this contemporary Age. The battle to reduce the meaning of words and discredit the power of God’s values and philosophy has been ever-increasing warfare in our time.

We live in a day where truth today is viewed as relative. People now have the audacity to challenge the truth and value behind every word spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ.  Keeping the true meaning and intention of words in it’s original, intended, context has become critical to the objective in maintaining the very essence and value of kingdom truth. 

The purpose and value of truth are reduced if the words used in conveying such truth is not clear or understood to be saying what it is intended for. Therefore, if I say I love you, and you don’t understand the original meaning and purpose of the word love, you will undoubtedly borrow the general meaning and value system society uses to measure the value of what I am saying to you. This is a grave matter that needs those in the apostolic ministry to clarify, at least this is one of the core objectives of those in the office of the authentic apostolic governmental ministry.  Words are no more words if they’ve lost their very essence, values, and core objectives.

RELATIONSHIP, A JOURNEY TO SPIRITUALITY

Therefore, to say that relationship is the very essence of our spiritual development is a serious statement when we capture the true essence of the word term relationship from divine meaning and perspective.  A relationship is the single thread that ties the mystery of the Godhead together in that order of perfect unity that makes them one in three. My point is, there’s more to understand in the very nature and life of God in relating to relationship than we can comprehend with our unregenerated frame of thought. 

The idea of a religious formula, rituals, and the inscription of the laws is easily understood from the carnal, humanist frame of thinking, but God does not live in such a realm. Even when he gave us the law, a type of formula, was for the objective of schooling us to understand certain fundamental principles required to build the necessary character values have been in living in slavery, abusive lifestyle for a long season. It’s more challenging to manage freedom if one has been in bondage for as long as one can remember.

You need to set specific guidelines and rules in place to protect those coming into this freedom. Freedom can soon have turned to self-bondage when the right values and understanding of lifestyle has not been taught. This is what the Lord did when he gave the children of Israel the commandment of approaching him and relating to one another in the camp.

The moment we move into the art of living according to his eternal design, the good, elementary principle of formula and laws no longer suffices or applies to us because we’ve transited into the lifestyle of the covenant through the blood of Jesus Christ, for this is the heart of our calling in kingdom order of relationship.

UNDERSTANDING SPIRITUALITY

Back to the point, I was trying to make about the idea of maturity. I have highlighted all this explanation to make this critical point that I hope you’ll now be able to appreciate. You cannot presume or jump into conclusion when it comes to spiritual development and maturity. Therefore, to assume the fact that you stand shoulder to shoulder with your teacher at school, or boss at the workplace suddenly makes you equal with them.

 Or better still, to assume the fact that you have the same matured body features and figures with your parents suddenly make you equally developed as your mother or Father is to express utter ignorance that can cost you dearly according to the word of God.

Maturity, in particular, spiritual maturity, is not merely defined by a person’s Age; if your definition of maturity or the respect of individuals is merely limited to their age gap or material acquisition and influence in society, then you’ve certainly proven that you lack the knowledge of basic life principles and the core values that drives human existence.

 I see this sense of disrespect within the body of Christ in the name of spirituality, especially on social media. If you have ‘knowledge’, such knowledge, regardless of how potent must function within an atmosphere of humility, honour, wisdom and respect. If your quest for knowledge exhibit pride and arrogance, you have nullified the law that makes truth work within your life, and therefore, you will be rejected from accessing divine things.

The template that gives you the code to access spiritual Revelation is a template of humility to those who are given the mission of spiritual apostolic stewardship. Because many have not been taught that spiritual things operate through the ministry of what could be likened to the ministry of certain folks within kingdom called gatekeepers, they assume they can just walk into the presence of the Father to ask for anything in terms of spiritual Revelation. 

THE PROTOCOL OF BIBLICAL SPIRITUALITY

Spiritual things work through divine protocol and these protocols work through specific underpinning value systems that interfaces between heaven and earth. If you lack the knowledge of the ways of the Spirit, you will be denied access to the ascended life of God, or the things of his kingdom, especially in a position or atmosphere where there’s a corporate gathering of the Saints.

There are people within the body of Christ who are designed over regions to be portals of revelatory access. These elders at spiritual gates of nations, cities and communities regulate and carefully administrate the apostolic construction, or prophetic engagements that generally flows into regions and atmospheres according to heaven’s divine season.

This is the idea behind the Church and the angle position within the seven nations in Asia minor according to the book of Revelation. Those churches are planted to regulate the spiritual, socioeconomic, and political destiny of their cities for Christ. They are the original governing leaders of their communities.
