Bingo... manmade term meant to explain something, sell books, garner speaking engagements and then be folded into Christian doctrine as something uniquely condemnable.
Using it as a figure of speech in reference to someone who is acting like jezebel did, isn’t really what I’m talking about. In the past calling a woman “a jezebel” kind of meant the same thing. That I understand. However, What i am refering to is when people refer to it as an actual spirit, like a demon. They say things like “i bind you spirit of Jezebel” or “the spirit of Jezebel was on that person” or “the spirit of Jezebel was controlling that person”, they speak to it directly like it’s an actual being and not just an attitude.
Where does the knowledge that a Jezebel spirit is a particular demon come from?
I don't know. I learned it from others, though I'd already encountered it in real-life, I just had a name to put to the 'face' so to speak. You could call it a controlling demon if you like, they're basically the same thing. There's not much in the bible about certain demon's names, but Yeshua called them out by name so He clearly knew they had them.
That’s kind of where it seemed like it was coming from. I see what you’re saying. However, Jesus knows a lot of things that we don’t know. It seems like a lot of creative license has been used by christians to create teachings and explanations for things that scripture isn’t clear on and that, frankly, we don’t understand. I’m always a bit hesitant when people begin giving information about demons that they gained from demons directly (as one fellow, on the forums here, was claiming, a while back) or from experiences they have had with demons. I think we would be wise to stick to scripture in our understanding of things like this, lest we be deceived and manipulated by the enemy.
Whoa duuude! What’s with bad vibes man?? I totes am filled with The Holy Spirit, brah! Why you gotsta be hatin’, man?? I luvs my peeps in Christ, man, and I just don’t be wanten us to be like, fallin’ away into myths and stuff yo! Or like followin’ like
s without rain bro... ya feelin’ me bro??
For the most part. I’ve still got some studying to do to have a definitive answer to that. But from what I’ve studied, a Jezebel personality is easily influenced by the adversary. That personality just enjoys control and when they lose control over what they perceive to be their domain (usually illegitimately gained) all types of manipulation usually pursues.
I’ve watched over the years that people study demonic activity, pretty much stay there. People who study love, see love a lot. People who study this or that, discuss the things that are foremost in their minds. I don’t always do it, but I try to stay on the side of life, light the good things of God rather than the going down ‘the dark side’ as our friend Darth Vador would say.
