ALLOWANCES FOR THE IMMATURE
A clear distinction must be made between an immature prophetic person and someone who has a Jezebel spirit.
Those who are prophetically immature are merely trying to find their rightful place in the Body.
They may lack wisdom and humility, however their intention is not to destroy the church.
Overly eager and immature prophetic individuals will do things that seem foolish or unwise.
But just as we don’t kill our children for their immaturity, neither should we kill those who are in prophetic infancy.
Pastors and leaders must make allowances for a young prophetic individual’s childishness.
Pastors and leaders must overcome their weariness of having young prophets who need to be trained.
As we—in the wisdom and counsel of the Lord—sharpen and hone the skills of those with prophetic gifts, it will bring forth valor and purity in the prophetic ministry.
Eventually, such individuals will bring insight, revelation, and wisdom to the Body of Christ.
Thus, all the petty difficulties of this gestation period will seem worth the time and effort expended.
During this developmental season, it’s especially important not to maim or abort the gifts of young prophetic Christians by accusing them of having a Jezebel spirit.
Pastors and leaders must learn to discern how to bring correction and how to nurture budding prophetic gifts, without wounding or killing people’s spirits.
Sometimes the difference between an immature
immature prophetic person and someone who operates with an immature Jezebel spirit is very subtle.
To discern the difference involves looking at the heart of the matter.
A young prophetic person begins with a heart to serve God.
Those operating with a Jezebel spirit may have started out with a heart to serve God, but at some point they have departed from that path into one of self-promotion.
Several additional points of departure are described more fully below.
1. SELFISH AMBITION As Scripture advises us: Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each of you esteem others better than himself—
2. PERSONAL GAIN While a prophetic person goes through a costly breaking process an individual with a Jezebelite rarely makes such sacrifices.
, an individual with a Jezebelite rarely makes such sacrifices.
For the most part, a Jezebelite will express a persistent drive to demonstrate his or her “prophetic insight.”
In doing so, he or she has an ulterior motive and will insist upon some sort of payback—recognition, fame, money, clothing, or various privileges lavished upon him or her by individuals easily infatuated with supernatural

3. A LUST FOR LIFE Sensual appetites will often run rampant in individuals who operate with a Jezebel spirit.
A spirit of lust will eat away at their soul, until it gains control of them.
Such lust is not simply sexually oriented.
Money, favor, or recognition may feed their ambition and offer desired results.
An insatiable thirst for self-indulgent pleasures will grow.
Conversely, the work of the Cross will cease to be manifested in this person’s life.
4. DEMONIC ENTANGLEMENT As individuals approach an intermediate level of demonic entanglement, their purposes will become more cunning and deliberate.
These individuals will try to control the actions of friends, families, and churches.
Whenever false humility, lies, and flattery do not bring about the expected esteem and recognition, these individuals often resort to anger, condemnation, accusation, and domination.
5.
A SPIRIT OF LAWLESSNESS Lawlessness is a term used to describe people who are not restrained or controlled by the law, especially God’s Word.
In essence, all rebellion against God is lawlessness
A spirit of lawlessness unleashes its attack on the Kingdom of God and drives individuals to rebel and oppose God’s appointed leaders.
This spirit inspires innuendoes, rumors, lies, slander, manipulation, and control by creating schisms—or threatening to do so.
Thus, whoever covertly challenges and slanders godly pastors and other ministries has violated God’s established rules for His Kingdom.
Such thinking is rebellion or sin.
Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness—

THE MYSTERY OF DECEPTION For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way—

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
The word mystery is defined by Webster as “a religious truth that one can know only by revelation.”
Thus, the mystery of lawlessness will involve the condition of being deceived.
When individuals are involved in lawless acts, they are often unaware of being in rebellion.
They are misled by a mental stronghold of self-righteous thinking and are fooled into thinking they are doing God—and the church—a favor.
Thus, they have elevated their way of thinking and are trying to correct someone God has chosen as their authority.
Their actions demonstrate that they actually despise authority.
CHAPTER 11 DISMANTLING JEZEBEL’S MANTLE
CHAPTER 11 DISMANTLING JEZEBEL’S MANTLE
But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell.
Moreover it shall be that I will do to you as I thought to do to them—

A DEMONIC THORN
Any thorn will cause infection unless it is removed.
A demonic thorn can prick the Church and cause infection, just as a splinter can inflame the skin and cause infection.
The longer it is ignored, the greater the spread of infection.
If neglected, the infection can spread and lead to amputation—or even worse, death.
To resolve the matter of a Jezebel spirit, God requires His servants to remove the demonic thorn that infects His Body.
Godly confrontation is necessary in order for conviction and true repentance to occur.
Conviction And Repentance occur with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Pastors cannot force repentance upon anyone because we are the not the “convicter” of sin.
The Holy Spirit has that responsibility.
We can pray that the Holy Spirit will convict an individual who operates with a Jezebel spirit.
However, if an individual’s behavior becomes obviously malicious and damaging to others in the church, a pastor must confront the issue.
Decisive and unified action is needed by the pastor and the eldership before God takes action, as He was about to do with Thyatira..
Responsibility For Removal
Responsibility for addressing a jezebel spirit belongs to the pastor.
As an overseer of the flock, a pastor has the authority to confront and remove any troublesome person or problem in a Church.
A pastor should not expect a prophet to address this issue.
A prophet’s responsibility is only to reveal an individual who covertly operates in a Jezebel spirit.
Remember, the prophet Elijah ran from Jezebel.
His successor, realized that only Kings had the authority to remove Jezebel.
thereby, God instructed Elisha to anoint Jehu to be King..
Remorse For getting Caught
Remorse has underlying tones of regret for being caught.
In addition, it suggest the possibility that the individual will repeat their actions again, at another time.
It takes a seasoned leader to discern the difference between repentance and remorse.
Church discipline must continue until true repentance comes forth, evidenced by godly sorrow
Godly sorrow is a sign of a broken will.
