Thyatira

So we are starting a new set of teachings and it's on the...

We'll go through the seven churches in the book of Revelation.

So that's what we'll be doing over the next little while.

So today we'll go through the church of Thyatira.

And as we go through these seven churches,

I'll only pick themes that are relevant to either us or to the world.

So this is not a study of the seven churches as in where it's located,

who Christ is coming as and who...

We're not going to do this as a Bible study.

It is just picking the seven churches,

these ancient stones that literally talk as they are in ruins today.

Seven churches pick out relevant themes.

And so it will get heavy at times because these themes are being extracted from it.

It's not like we're doing a Bible study explaining each of the churches.

And so if you're a newcomer to these teachings,

this is not how we usually do it,

but it might get and sound a little heavy like even today.

And the caveats as we go about teaching each of these churches

is that because these churches deal with problems,

because these churches deal with judgment and discipline,

it is likely that as I'm teaching it that you will begin to squirm.

It is likely that as I'm teaching it, you will begin to squirm.

And part of the reason you will squirm is because most of these churches

cover different areas in our life that have a deficit.

And the other reason you will squirm is because I know you guys well

and you will think I'm talking about you.

So you've got to be wary of that

because I fear God enough not to use the pulpit to take a shot at you.

Plus I like you enough even on the days you are unlikable not to take a shot at you.

But there will be times when you will squirm while I am teaching.

Two, it will require us to make changes both as a church,

spiritually, physically, emotionally, and as individuals.

We will have to learn how to make changes.

And three, as we go through these seven churches, we will have to claim rewards.

We will have to claim rewards for everything in these stories,

in these church stories where there was an overcoming, there was a reward.

So these are the disclaimers or the clauses I wanted to bring up

before we talk about the first church.

And I'm just picking a theater today, it's not in order.

And so let's go to Revelations 2, 18-29.

Revelations 2, 18-29.

Revelations 2, 18-29.

Revelations 2, 18-29.

Okay, I'm reading.

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.

I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance,

and that you are now doing more than you did at first.

Nevertheless, I have this against you.

You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess.

By her teaching, she misleads my servants into sexual immorality,

and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.

I've given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.

So I will cast her on a bed of suffering,

and I'll make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely,

unless they repent of her ways.

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.

This is a New Testament day.

Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira,

to you who do not hold to her teaching,

and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets,

I will not impose any other burden on you.

Only hold on to what you have until I come.

To him who overcomes and does my will to the end,

I will give authority over the nations.

He will rule them with an iron scepter.

He will dash them to pieces like pottery,

just as I have received authority from my Father.

I will also give him the morning star.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Alright, so the Guardian, just so you know,

the Divine Guardian of Thyatira,

not the deity, not even divine, I want to ascribe that only to God,

the deity or guardian of Thyatira,

was this god called Tyrinmous,

who basically was portrayed as riding a horse with a battle axe on his shoulder.

And now the name for Tyrinmous or Tyrinmous is Apollo.

That was what he was familiarly known as in Greek mythology.

And so Jacob, why pull out something that's not in the scriptures?

Because in the process of talking about these different churches,

I want us to know that every city that John talks about in these letters that Christ shows him,

every city had a Divine Guardian or a deity that was supposed to be a guardian over that city.

Paul knew that Ephesus was under the sway of Artemis.

At times Jesus himself in these letters, as you will see in the future,

will refer to certain places as places that are basically the throne of Satan.

Deuteronomy 32 verse 8 talks about a time when God had actually appointed Divine Guardians

Deuteronomy 32:8

over lands that he had set boundaries for.

Unfortunately many translations, instead of calling them Divine Guardians,

call them Sons of Israel, which is a really bad translation.

And I know this not because I have Greek and Hebrew as my specialty,

but because I've gone and checked over and over again and read enough to know that Deuteronomy 32 verse 8

Deuteronomy 32:8

was when God divided the nations into portions, set boundaries for them, and appointed upon them Divine Guardians.

In his case when he did it, it was guardians that were sent from him.

The Bible talks about it in Daniel chapter 10 when it says,

Daniel 10 · chapter mention

an angel has been appointed to Israel, that Michael your angel.

God did appoint Divine Guardians.

This is why I said it might sound a little heavy if you're new to Acts 29,

but it isn't actually heavy because it is scripture.

But at a point when the earth began to fall into corruption,

what begins to happen is people begin to desire not that which God has appointed,

but begin to worship deities that are ungodly, that are evil.

And so now cities and lands have deities that are guardians over these cities,

that hover over them, that hold sway over them, that exert influence over them.

And sometimes, not sometimes, it is not possible to take a city the way you need to take a city

unless you unseat or rattle or have authority over the guardians that are over a city.

This is why Paul dealt so brilliantly with Ephesus.

Jesus commands in these letters at certain places that the church needs to be aware

of these seats that need to be undone,

which is why I brought up this deity that guarded Thyatira.

And these deities have different names in different places.

A deity that is known by one name in one place is known by another name in another place.

And I just want to touch on the idea of familiar spirits.

Because one of the things I'm realizing is that there are familiar spirits,

but none of us know how to define them,

because we try to define familiar spirits in one sentence and that's not possible.

Familiar spirits, what are familiar spirits?

Familiar spirits are like in this case, familiar in nature, familiar in nature,

familiar in nature, but different name.

So they are familiar in nature or character, but have a different name in different places.

That's one way to define familiar spirits.

So you have, for instance, the spirit called, let's say in English we call it spirit destroyer,

in Greek it's called Abaddon, sorry, in Hebrew it's called Abaddon,

in Greek it's called Apollyon, and in India it's called Shiva.

They all manifest the same character.

They have familiar nature, familiar character, but they go by different names.

Then there is the thing called familiar spirits mentioned in Leviticus 1931,

where if you read the New King James or King James version,

you'll find that it actually calls them familiar spirits.

Leviticus 1931.

It says that,

''Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards to be defiled by them,

for I am the Lord your God.''

In that case, it is a person who willingly or ignorantly,

a person who willingly or ignorantly develops a familiar relationship

with an evil spirit that begins to use the person,

that begins to communicate with the person and uses the person as a medium,

that begins to communicate with the person and then begins to use the person as a medium.

That's what's being mentioned in Leviticus 1931,

where a person willingly or ignorantly develops a familiar relationship with an evil spirit

that now begins to communicate with the person and through the person.

This is in Acts 16, 16, where you actually meet a woman who,

depending on the version you read,

had a spirit of divination or had a familiar spirit, was a medium.

The spirit becomes so closely associated with the person that the person and the spirit become familiar.

It's like a familiar book or something that there's great familiarity with

so that the spirit begins to communicate with and begins to communicate through the person.

Most mediums that you see at Lansdowne or one of these malls where they have these times

when there are astrologers and palm readers and stuff like that

are the ones mentioned in Leviticus 1931.

The next one is a spirit that takes on familiar form,

a spirit that takes on familiar form with the intent to deceive,

with the intent to deceive.

As in it takes on the form of someone usually dearly loved that has died or,

very often that is the case, a spirit that takes on a form that is familiar to deceive.

So in 1 Samuel 28, 11, you see Saul going to the witch of Endor

and she says, who do you want me to call up for you?

And he replies saying, call up Samuel.

And so he calls up Samuel and nobody returns from the dead.

It is appointed for man once to die and then to be judged.

So it's not like Samuel is returning from the dead,

but an evil spirit takes on the form of Samuel where now it's a familiar spirit

because it is a spirit that takes on a familiar form with the intent to deceive.

I've met people who love their brothers, sisters, dads, mums, spouses, friends so intensely

that after their death, spirits would take on their form and appear to them

and literally draw them towards doing something really bad, really destructive.

I know someone who would have their dad appear to them,

an evil spirit taking on the form of their dad.

I would be standing there and they would see it, but I couldn't see it.

And it would literally draw them to the edge of the roof

to try and see if they could be thrown over.

Fourth, a spirit in a person, and we are not talking about the Holy Spirit right now,

a spirit in a person that alights on another,

a spirit in a person that alights on another because of familiar ties, familiar ties.

And these ties can be ties of soul, body, spirit.

It can be of blood. It can be of trauma.

It can be of shared conditions, affinities, pledges, unison, kinship, allegiance.

This is what happens in 1 Kings 22, 22 when Micaiah suddenly sees heaven,

a scene from heaven, and the powers gather around the throne of God.

And the scene is being played out where the question is,

how shall we lead Ahab to his death?

And one spirit says, I will become a lying spirit.

And he goes and he affects 300, 400 prophets, man, a lying spirit enters into.

And they all begin to prophesy things that are false.

A godly parallel of it you will find in Numbers 11, 17, where God says to Moses,

I will take the spirit off you and I will put it on these 70.

That is a godly version of it.

But I have seen this so often where a spirit in a person, not a good spirit in a person,

alights on another because of familiar ties, soul ties, body ties, spirit ties, blood ties,

trauma ties, shared condition ties, affinities, pledges, unison, kinship, allegiance.

That's another version of a familiar spirit.

I'll give you time to ask questions once I get through two more.

The next one is generational, generational, generational,

where these are spirits that affect designated descendants,

spirits that affect designated descendants,

spirits that affect designated descendants as in every oldest son.

Why? Because there was a dedication at some point, at some point in the generation.

There was a dedication or there was a pledging.

And then in every generation, because of one man or one movement, pledging to evil, his descendants,

every generation has this particular spirit come and try to see if what was pledged can be taken.

Derek and I have seen this.

I haven't seen this.

Designated descendants, as in this descendant I will go after, makes me angry,

partly angry because we are ignorant to the devil's devices,

partly angry because of the ease with which the enemy takes things because we are ignorant.

These are not things that are taught in a church sermon, man.

These we do in Bible studies.

Well, the problem with doing it in Bible studies is just two or three may know.

And one may not be able to teach it well.

And so we continue in our ignorance.

At least this way, one of two things will happen.

Either they will laugh it off saying,

this is one of those teachings that we should pay no attention to,

take it full of himself or full of what's wrong,

or we will have this go around the world and it will help.

The last one is spirits, spirits functioning,

spirits that function in different jurisdictions,

spirits in different jurisdictions,

spirits in different jurisdictions,

spirits in different jurisdictions,

forming alliances to conduct an attack on those that are partnering in a God endeavor,

an attack on those partnering in a God endeavor.

I'll read it out because my writing is pretty bad. It gets bad as it goes lower because I don't want to bend.

Spirits in different jurisdictions. Spirits have jurisdictions. Spirits have jurisdictions.

They can't cross jurisdictions without permission from spirits in other jurisdictions.

The Prince of Persia is appointed to one place. The Prince of Greece is appointed to another place.

Please, I hope you don't think they are actually physical kings because there's a whole bunch of guys who will tell you

that the Prince of Persia and the Prince of Greece that Daniel 10 verse 20 talks about are actual kings.

Daniel 10:20

All I can say is I won't even argue with you. I feel sad. These are actual principalities and powers.

They have jurisdictions, but sometimes what happens, we're talking about familiar spirits,

is that spirits in different jurisdictions form alliances. Why?

So that they can form alliances to attack people that are partnering across the earth.

The same thing that is happening in India now begins to happen in Canada.

The same powers that are attacking a church or a person there begin to attack a partnering church or a person here.

Similar attack. There's something familiar that goes on then.

Daniel 10 verse 20 talks about how the Prince of Persia and the Prince of Greece combine together

Daniel 10:20

to stop an answer from getting to Daniel. Why? Because what Daniel has to do will affect both Persia and Greece.

Another story that I find fascinating, though I cannot say that there were evil spirits involved in this,

is 1 Samuel 4 where on one hand the ark is stolen and Eli hears it and he dies.

And on the other hand, away from Eli, in her home, Eli's daughter-in-law is giving birth and she dies and says,

And since I can't prove it, I'll just leave that as an example.

Any questions?

To respond to Nick's question, God did not appoint guardians that are not good.

God only appointed divine guardians that are good.

But when I appoint someone to take care of you and you decide you don't want that someone

and you begin to give your allegiance and pledge to someone else,

then guardians change because man has a free will to choose to do whatever he wants.

So if you go to Deuteronomy 32.8,

When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance,

When he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of people according to the number of...

according to the ESV, okay?

When the Most High God gave to the nations their inheritance,

when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the numbers of the sons of God.

The sons of God there are angels, they are not people.

Translations that can't handle that, unfortunately go and say the children of Israel.

I find it terrible when translations dare to do something like that

because they cannot handle or explain one way of looking at it.

There might be a more complex explanation to why they do it, but one of the reasons they do it is that.

So it is not God who appoints guardians that are evil.

It is people choose to cast off what God has for them

and choose to worship what God does not have for them.

And they then become...

Artemis was well known in all of Asia Minor.

The guardian goddess over Ephesus.

Ah, Diana replied, responded to that, cool.

Yep.

Yeah, so I won't be able to answer that publicly on live stream,

so you'll have to ask me that on the slide.

But the way the spirit world works, guys, is on one hand,

they don't have patience, they don't have love, they don't have kindness, they don't have fellowship.

Those are not terms that they understand.

There was a time when they understood that,

but one third of the ones cast out of heavens do not understand that anymore.

So they are constantly jockeying for position.

But they are not a kingdom divided.

Christ said they are not a kingdom divided.

But that doesn't mean they live happily together.

They are constantly jockeying for position.

One of the books that isn't like a Bible story,

but highlights this quite brilliantly is the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.

So the demonic realm on one hand is not divided.

It has hierarchy.

It is vicious and it's constantly jockeying for position.

The one thing that unites them is steel-killed destroy

and oppose the plans of man on earth in the lives of people.

To ruin creation, to destroy it, to bring Eden to a place where there's nothing,

where there's a haunt of jackals and hyenas and satyrs.

And then comes God saying,

No, my plan will stay the same. Eden will be restored.

Let's just pray against this.

So Father, I bring people at Acts 29 before you

and anyone else who will hear this later.

This teaching is going to be a labor of love, but it will be laborious, Father,

and that's fine because Holy Spirit, you will supply the strength

and the sharp arrows required for it.

And so in the name of Jesus Christ,

I come against familiar spirits in the lives of people first

in the Acts 29 family.

Familiar spirits that have been picked up because of any third-party dedication.

Be it through rituals in the past of secret organizations or ungodly religions

that have any other God but Christ.

Of familiar spirits because of ties.

Ties.

I can go over the list, but it would just make the teaching longer.

So in the name of Jesus Christ,

I right now bring every person that claims Acts 29 as his or her family.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare that this family has only one spirit

and that is the most dangerous Holy Spirit

who dwells in our midst and who yearns jealously over us

and hates sharing space with anything idolatrous or evil.

And so in the name of Jesus Christ who said that it is by the finger of God,

by the Holy Spirit that I cast out demons.

I now cast out, drive out anyone who is willing to have driven out of them.

Anyone who is willing to be rid of familiar spirits in this family.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I come against every familiar spirit in every person

and I drive you out saying leave in Jesus Christ's name.

For we are the sole domain and the possession, the blood-bought possession of Christ

and the sole domain of the Holy Spirit.

And I break every tie by the power of God, not by our intellect,

not by our understanding, but surely by the Spirit of God and by the power of God.

I break every tie in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

I love that it starts with Jesus Christ declaring, I am the Son of God.

One of the things I was thinking of when I was reading that is,

Father, please oh God, let one thing not be replaced in our lives going forth.

That we will not present Jesus as God, we will not present him as a son of God.

We will not present Jesus as a son of God.

That we will not present Jesus as God, we will not present him as a friend,

we will present him as a son of God. As in not avoid that.

He himself is clearly saying that, listen, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

I've got eyes that are blazing, that penetrate, that expose the plans of the enemy.

I've got feet that are so strong that I can trample upon the enemy.

And then he goes on to say, listen, I am really aware of how well you are doing.

I would love to hear, and it's one thing that we should ask God,

so what's your report on Acts 29?

Because he is giving a report here. He says, listen, I am aware of your love,

I am aware of your faith, I am aware of your service, I am aware of your perseverance.

I am also aware of how your expression of love has grown.

You are now doing more than you did at first.

I would love to get a report from Jesus about this church.

Because our reports are either too critical or too forgiving.

It's been something I am asking, Father, is there a way you can put together a report

so that there won't be any bias in it and you will give us the straight goods?

So that what needs to be corrected can be corrected, what needs to be undone can be undone.

What needs to be undone can be undone.

That's what he does here.

Then after saying that, he goes into what he needs to judge.

And his judgment is the tolerance of Jezebel.

Tolerance of Jezebel and her influence.

Tolerance of Jezebel and her influence.

Now Jezebel is both a woman, in this case in the church and in the Old Testament,

but more than a woman, we want to look at her as a spirit.

And a spirit has no gender, so I am going to try and refer to Jezebel as it, not she.

Not because I got a problem with he, she, they, us, she, her, he, him.

But because I want to say that it's a spirit, even though both in the Old Testament and in this particular church,

she was also a woman.

I know this isn't exactly Mother's Day teaching, but we've never done any Father's Day teaching either.

So that did occur to me that, gosh, this doesn't sound like Mother's Day, but that's okay.

Yeah, I mean, didn't choose the poster woman either.

So there's this tolerance of Jezebel's influence.

What Jezebel's influence does, guys, is it denies the cross.

And what do you mean denies the cross?

Luke 9, Luke 9, Luke 9.23 says that we are supposed to deny ourselves the cross.

Luke 9, 23 says that we are supposed to deny ourselves and carry the cross.

What Jezebel teaches, or what the spirit called Jezebel can bring into a church,

not a denial of self and a carrying of the cross, but a denying of the cross,

and a self-indulgent, sexually compromised religion that is co-opted by the secular environment around you.

Instead of denying oneself and carrying the cross,

the spirit called Jezebel has the ability to enter a church and make it a cross-denying church.

And a cross-denying church is a church that practices a self-indulgent,

sexually compromised religion that is co-opted by the secular environment around you.

That's what it does.

How tolerance works?

How tolerance works, and my God, do we live in a society that demands tolerance.

How tolerance works is tolerance, when we begin to entertain it,

I'm not saying be intolerant to everything.

We have to show tolerance in certain areas.

But there are certain things we have to be absolutely intolerant of.

One of the things that we have to be absolutely intolerant of is the spirit of Jezebel.

And any manifestation of the spirit of Jezebel in any form or fashion

must be dealt with with absolute brutal intolerance.

But it's a spirit.

So, what happens with tolerance is, the moment you begin to tolerate things,

there is a loss of fidelity.

There is a loss of fidelity.

When there is a loss of fidelity, there is a license that we now begin to take

that allows us to go into places, accept things that we would not otherwise accept.

That leads to adulterous compromise.

Adulterous compromise leads to resistance to repentance.

Resistance to repentance leads to judgment.

Loss of fidelity, license.

It gives you the license to now begin to step into things that you would normally not do.

It's almost, I mean you could compare this to a marriage, where once in a marriage,

when a spouse begins to tolerate things besides or outside the marriage,

there is a loss of fidelity.

The loss of fidelity results in an increase of license to indulge in things that you know you should not do.

Which then results in adulterous compromise, which results in a resistance to now turn around.

And that usually ends up in consequences of judgment.

The judgment however is severe.

The judgment in this case, in Thyatira, was that God would actually have people put on a bed of pain and sickness.

A bed of pain and sickness.

Now we've got to be careful here and quickly put a caveat.

Every time I have pain and sickness, I am not going to conclude that I have now engaged with, indulged with,

or done something with the spirit of Jezebel.

That would be absurd. You'd have to be really dull to think like that.

I mean it. And I meant that as an insult. In case you didn't get it the first time.

But one of the things we also have to avoid is we've got to stop thinking that sickness is not sometimes the result of sin.

You know why we become namby-pamby when it comes to that?

Where we don't tell people that there could be sin that causes sickness.

Maybe we went one extreme, so now we react and go the other extreme and say, no, no, no, can't be sin. God is not like that.

God is not like that.

I would love to say judgment is discipline, but man, when you read the New Testament in the Theatria, it uses the word punishment.

And I'll tell you why.

A bed of pain and sickness, and what is it the result of?

A result of, as a result of unrepentant, unrepentant, as a result of unrepentant unison with the spirit of Jezebel.

With the spirit of Jezebel.

We're talking about a very specific thing here.

So are there other instances in the New Testament then of sickness that could affect believers?

See, this is what happens to me if you dream at 3 o'clock. You start sleeping at 3 p.m.

You've got to stay awake. You can't go to sleep.

You can't go to sleep.

Sorry, I know it's not your fault. The Lord gave you a dream, but stay awake for him.

Do you want me to quote from Matthew 24?

Awake or sleeper? That's Hebrews.

Anyways, 1 Corinthians 11, 29 talks about another situation where we are judged and disciplined when we do not consider the body and create, stifle it or harm it or destroy it.

1 Corinthians 11, 29 says, For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord, eats and drinks judgment on himself.

Do we use the word judgment perhaps, not disciplined on?

For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord, eats and drinks judgment on himself.

That is why many among you are weak and sick and a number of you have fallen asleep, as in have died.

But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment.

When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

Says it very well there.

So part of the reason I want to do this teaching is so that we judge ourselves.

And if we judge ourselves, then we spare ourselves a whole lot of trouble.

The severity of the judgment here, the severity of the judgment here, the severity of the judgment here, the severity of the judgment here exposes the evil potency of the Spirit of Jezebel.

Exposes the evil potency of the Spirit.

Of the Spirit.

The evil potency of the Spirit.

And it sets a precedent for the Church saying, don't mess with this one.

Sets a precedent for the Church and it lets you know that any tolerance of this Spirit will be punished.

Punished.

Punished tolerance of the Spirit.

Am I, by the way, this is not Paul writing or anything. This is Jesus writing.

If we don't teach this, how will we know?

And if we don't know, then how will we judge?

And if we don't judge, then how will we escape a judgment by God?

Because he has said here, there's a severity to the judgment I'm making out here.

Because I want to expose the evil potency of the Spirit and I want to set a precedent for my Churches so that they understand that you cannot tolerate the Spirit because it will result in you being judged.

This tolerance will be punished.

So my question to the Lord was, Father, why?

Why are you so severe?

Almost, if you read all the other letters, nothing is as severe as what is being said to Thatura.

And these are guys who, many amongst them, have been super loving, super persevering, super serving.

And they've done well. In fact, at one point God says, to those of you who haven't defiled yourself with the deep secrets of Satan, I'm saying to you, hold on to what you have and I will put no other burden on you.

So my question to God was, why is it that you're so severe with this, with people who indulge with or allow or deliberately partner with or refuse to resist this power?

I was surprised by what he said.

What he said was, what this Spirit does to my bride is what Delilah did to Samson.

And I heard that and it made me sad and angry.

What this Spirit does to my bride, this is a bridegroom Christ who died a brutal death on the cross.

What this Spirit does to my bride is what Delilah did to Samson.

What this Spirit does to Samson blinds you, takes your strength away, weakens you, leaves you compromised at the mercy of the enemy, completely dismantles you.

A man who was supposed to be a judge, a ruler, a deliverer is now delivered into the hands of the Philistines blind, a prisoner.

It takes away your voice, it blinds your eyes, it weakens you, it takes away your strength, it leaves you paralyzed and you have no idea guys how powerfully the Spirit has worked its way into church after church after church.

And nobody wants to deal with it because oh this must be some Pentecostal idea or some apostolic idea or some guy who wants to write a book.

This is real, Jesus wrote a book on this.

And this church will not tolerate it.

We'll have such an intolerance towards the Spirit of Jezebel.

So Jacob how do we identify it? Let's talk about the Spirit of Jezebel.

She is chaste, her name means chaste.

But she is chaste as in she can come in as kind of chaste and very purish but she is uncovered as in refuses to come under any covering.

Chaste but uncovered, an authority unto oneself, skilled in witchcraft.

And at the end of the day witchcraft is the use of powers and the willingness to be used by powers.

That's what witchcraft is.

It is the use of powers towards an end which is never godly and the willingness to be used by powers.

And because witchcraft is akin to rebellion, witchcraft may be redefined as being an authority unto oneself.

Where I am the final authority in terms of how I see and decide things.

Hey before I even taught this I texted a few people at Axe, I texted people at Axe Renan saying this is what I intend to teach, any insights.

Why? Because I am the final authority.

I do not teach any insights. Why?

Because I know that this is not to begin with a Mother's Day message and two that this is heavy, this is not what a church should put on live stream.

When you read her story from 1 Kings 18 to 2 Kings 9 you realize that this is one who is skilled in witchcraft,

who was the daughter of a Sidonian priest, who was an authority unto oneself,

who appeared chaste but lived her entire life uncovered, defiant to the very last moment when Jehu comes towards her.

It is the spirit but it works through people, spirits work through people, spirits work nuanced organizations,

Spirits work through people in charge. Spirits work through pastors, spirits work through boards,

Spirits work through power mongers, spirits work through power holders,

spirits works through government, spirits work through organizations, spirits work through rulers.

Pastors are some of the main targets of this which is why jesus is writing Jehu's prank.

to the pastor or the messenger or the angel of the Church of Thyatira saying,

you are tolerating this woman. Who could have tolerated a woman

who was bringing the false prophetic into the church except for the leaders of the church.

Some of the people that succumb to the Spirit most are the leaders of churches,

which is the only way the Spirit can enter into a church. It needs a weak Ahab. It needs a weak Ahab.

And surprisingly the word Ahab does not mean father. The word Ahab means uncle.

The father's friend or the father's brother, not the father. It needs a weak Ahab, an uncle,

to exert control through, to force compliance, to open the doors of wickedness.

It needs a weak Ahab, a weak uncle. Fathers who are not strong end up as weak uncles.

The great thing about the Bible is it neither puts the full emphasis on the father or the full

emphasis on the mother. In 1st Thessalonians 2, the way it presents it is so beautiful. It says,

be like a nursing mother and be like a father who is charging his children. It has to be both.

It's not one or the other. In this perverse climate, a church climate of love, love, love,

love, love, love, love, it gets ugly.

Uncovered is to have nobody that you think should have the,

nobody that you would submit your will to.

No one should coerce your will. No one should force you to do something. If I do that,

then I begin to operate under the same spirit where I'm manipulating your will,

where I'm forcing, controlling, coercing your will. The moment I do that, I'm operating under

a spirit that is not from Jesus. But you must and I must choose to submit my will once you know

that here is someone that I can submit my will to. Not because the person is perfect,

not because the person won't let me down, but because I choose submission.

If you are to submit your will to someone perfect, the only one you can submit your will to is

God, nobody else. And that's not how it works here on earth.

These are hard truths, man, that the church must learn and the church avoids teaching.

It needs a weak Ahab to exert control, to force. I'm deliberately using the word it because it is

an it, it's not a she. To exert control, to force compliance, to open doors of wickedness.

One of the things the spirit does... Guys, the reason I rage against this and you can see the

way I'm teaching this today is because if there is one thing that I

that I dearly love, it is the bride of Christ. I live to raise her, if possible birth her,

build her up, dress her exactly the way the bridegroom wants. Because one thing I am for sure,

I'm a bridesmaid with my heart for the bridegroom and the bride.

And the other thing that I am is I have a great love for the prophetic and I hate the spirit

because this spirit has the ability to silence humongous prophetic voices, silences it.

This spirit had the power to silence Elijah. This spirit had the power to take out a church

called Tyatira, an early church that was good at works, loves, perseverance, was able to take it out.

One of the things the Jezebel spirit does, it silences the prophetic voice. Silence is the

prophetic voice. When I see churches nowadays that do not allow prophets to speak, and I'm not

talking about prophets as in come on stage and I'm a prophet let me speak. No, I'm talking about

the idea of the prophetic being shut down. When you stick to 1st Corinthians 14 verse 1 to 3 and

say that's all the prophetic is, exhortation, encouragement, comfort, don't go beyond that.

How can you lead a people if you silence the voice of God?

And then they go to, but this is the voice of God. This is what God has revealed

and it has been written down, but this ain't God man. This is just a written word of God.

Ain't the living word. The living word is Christ.

It silences the prophetic and it silences it through compromise or through accusation

or through intimidation or through reward. Either intimidates the prophetic or compromises the

prophetic or accuses the prophetic or rewards the prophetic. One of the scariest things that

are happening now is the number of prophets that get rewarded so that they all toe the party line

which is why I so appreciate Micaiah going up in front of Ahab and Jehoshaphat and there are

400 other prophets and they're all prophesying the same thing. Ahab you're going to win, Ahab

you're going to win. Didn't we hear that recently? South of the border, every prophet saying the

same thing. It is hard to stand up and speak when there are 400 prophets saying the same thing.

Compromising the prophetic is compromising the life of the prophet through some seduction or the other.

It depletes the resources and the strength of the kingdom. One of the things Jezebel did

is she began to bring 850 people, breakfast, lunch and dinner in two days. She was a very

good leader in the어준 the resources and the strength of the kingdom. One of the things Jezebel did is she began to bring 850 people, breakfast, lunch and dinner and tea.

850 people eating from the king's resources, depleting the kingdom.

She would set a table for falsehood in the palace and these 850 prophets, 450 from Baal,

400 from Asherah would come and eat. Jezebel has the ability once it enters the church to

deplete the resources of the church. I'm not just talking about money, I'm talking about the resource of

man, woman, creativity, works of the spirit, everything gets depleted or tainted.

And in the process what happens is it threatens the leaders of the next generation.

It threatens the generational leadership as in it now works on the next generation that's coming up

because they now do not know what purity looks like. They do not know what it looks like to not

have a doctrine without falsehood. One of the things the spirit does and this is one of the reasons

Jesus gets pretty upset with the spirit, this spirit has the ability to relax apostolic decrees

and to dilute them. Very clearly the word was sent out to the churches that listen, as you begin this

new journey as Gentiles who've been joined with Jews, two things you have to keep in mind, do not

eat meat offered to idols, do not commit idolatry and stay away from sexual immorality. A letter was

sent out for Jerusalem in Acts chapter 15 and what is Jezebel doing? Chaining it around and saying it

Acts 15 · chapter mention

is okay and so suddenly you see that an apostolic decree is being relaxed so that there is room for

compromise. Why? Because Thyatira was a city where there were tons and tons of guilds. Lydia was a

merchant of cloth. Textiles flourished in Thyatira. Guilds required reverence to deities and to Caesar

and it was impossible to attend a chamber of commerce meeting in Thyatira without first

offering food to the idols and so what is being said here? It's okay. That would eventually lead

to sexual immorality which was common at these guild meetings and in rituals all over the place

and so she's saying it's okay you are believers you are born again

but it's okay now to indulge in this and very clearly the apostolic decree was

you will not commit sexual immorality, you will not eat food offered to idols.

Another thing the spirit does and you see the spirit at work through Jezebel upon the life of

Ahab is that this spirit manipulates and pampers the immature. This spirit manipulates and pampers

the immature and so in the end you have a church that's raising dwarfs on a diet of milk and emotions

it pampers the immature and so what happens is you have a church full of dwarfs

that are drinking milk and emotions. Isn't that reality today? Do we really want that?

Is that what the church should be raised to become?

This spirit moves boundaries, it blurs boundaries, it moves ancient landmarks.

It says yeah yeah I know God has said don't do this but it's okay we can just move this a little

or I think it's okay to compromise a little we have to be realistic let's move ancient boundaries

a little here and there and in the process it takes inheritances away.

There's a proverb which says do not move the ancient landmarks, God has set some things in place,

do not compromise on them, do not blur the lines

where people don't know who they are morning and evening because the lines are so blurred.

You move those ancient boundaries you end up with nations having desolate inheritances because the

people do not have location boundaries limits restraints. People perish when boundaries are

removed because restraint is cast off, vision is absent. This spirit specializes in it. Guys do

you realize why it is important to stand against with such an intolerance?

Why Jacob are you talking about this now? Because we need to know this as we go into places where

you know once we know the devices of the enemy it is so much easier to be aware of it when

it comes against you. So how do you deal with the spirit? You have to be the Obadiah Jehu type.

You cannot be the Elijah type to deal with this spirit. Elijah lost but you have to be the Obadiah

Jehu type.

That's the only combination that can deal with the spirit.

Obadiah was a father and a governor that's what he's called.

He talks about it when he's telling Elijah he says listen I'm a governor. He was a father governor

who provided refuge and broke bread provided refuge and broke bread for the people of the

world. He provided refuge and broke bread.

Hiding people from Jezebel because he knew how vicious she was and how easily the godly could be

devoured by her. I want you to know that you cannot deal with this on your own unless you have been

specifically appointed to do it. So the only way you can do deal with it is when you covenant as

a community that we stand together as a body against this. Either you have to have an appointment

like Jehu or Elijah or Obadiah or you have to stand as a people saying we are a people of Christ

and we take on this Obadiah Jehu approach. So you had Obadiah who was this way

or you have to be violently not or and you have to be violently intolerant

violently intolerant of the spirit giving

not giving an inch not giving an inch.

You don't know how difficult it is to preach this message for me. You don't know.

Everything in me says tone it down. Everything in me says take it down a notch. Everything in me says

this is too harsh. Everything in me says this is too heavy and then there is something in me that says

that's exactly what the enemy wants to do. Have you back down because of your sensitivities to this or

that or that person or this person or how people will perceive you. You have to have a sense of

how people will perceive you. Stand and say it as it is. I will have such an intolerance against the spirit

so that it doesn't affect any of us and doesn't take this church down because when a church begins

to rise powers are sent to cripple it in a way that is so crippling that it will take forever to rise

again. So you have to be very careful about that. You have to be very careful about that.

Even yeah.

This is the only way to deal with this spirit.

Must come against it with such violence and at the same time must also remember that there are

people who need refuge and who need bread to eat because they are being attacked and devoured by

Jezebel. So on one hand you have to cover and keep people under your refuge and safety and provide

them bread so that they are not devoured. On the other hand you should roll up your fist with the

other hand and smack it right in the nose. That is how you deal with it.

Unfortunately whenever you deal with Jezebel,

after you deal with Jezebel because Jezebel operates through people and you have to deal with

Jezebel intolerantly, whenever you deal with Jezebel people get bruised so you have to have a post

recovery plan. People get bruised and so you have to have a post recovery plan as in you need to

realize that as you deal with it some people will have their egos bruised, some people will have

their feelings bruised, some people will have their minds bruised, some people may have their

bodies bruised. I've seen this, I've seen this as recently as four days ago. Derek and I've seen

this in another country not here. You have to have a way to deal with it.

You have to have a way to help people recover because it can leave you disheveled.

Do you think when Jesus chased money lenders out of the temple there was a little bruising?

I would suggest so.

335.

Jesus goes on to say that the faith, remember guys what I said,

this power has the ability to do to the bride what Delilah did to Samson.

I'll be rewarded for teachings like this.

The faithful remnant, Jesus talks about the faithful remnant, the faithful remnant are those

that are, he talks about it in the last few verses of the letter. He says some of you have

been faithful and he says you've been faithful and you haven't gotten accustomed to or dived into

Satan's deep secrets and I think Jesus being half sarcastic, Satan's deep secrets as opposed to the

mysteries of God but it also then brings up the point that yeah there are evil devices and

schemes of the enemy man that most of us do not understand.

Because we don't understand it we either don't think about it or because it confuses us we

don't go further in it and we stay in our own little cubby holes but allow the Holy Spirit.

I had to do this long ago, thank God I had good teachers.

All the teachers I had were loving but not merciful and I'm richer for it.

I had very little time for my whims and fancies, I simply grew up Jacob, got lots to do in the

future, thank God they did that, I wouldn't be where I am.

Anyways, see we're not supposed to go and hunt for evil devices and schemes

but the Holy Spirit can make you wise to it. 2 Corinthians 2 11 says it is good to

that God will show you the, let me read it, it's basically be aware of the schemes of the enemy.

2 Corinthians 2 11

2 Corinthians 2 11

2 Corinthians 2 11

If you forgive anyone I also forgive him and what I have forgiven if there was anything to forgive I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake.

In order that Satan might not outwit us for we are not unaware of his schemes.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit if you are willing to be a certain way and I'll tell you what that way is, it's pretty simple.

The Holy Spirit can make you wise to Satan's devices and schemes and so to help the Holy Spirit help you.

Here are a few things that it's best, this is perhaps the makeup that is best for this.

One, try not to be too emotional because there are far too many people who get very emotional

about the devil and then go down a road they shouldn't be going. Try not to get too esoteric

and esoteric simply means don't think of yourself as an elite commando who knows the enemies

because sometimes you might end up knowing the enemy better than you know God.

It's like you have some secret knowledge of how the enemy works.

Don't go looking for it, it usually gets into a lot of trouble.

Don't get too empirical as in wanting evidence of things, want neat little boxes to fit properly

before you can accept things or you can begin to walk in things.

I'm telling you understanding is overrated.

When it comes to spiritual things understanding is overrated.

Every time you set up a neat box along comes Jesus and collapses it.

Oh you thought I was like this, let me show you and then he takes a whip and chases out all the money lenders.

What do you do with that man?

Oh you thought I was willing to have people come to me, it's absolutely true but go tell those Greeks

that I'm not meeting them right now and tell them that a grain will fall to the earth and it will rise up

and produce a hundredfold and those Greeks that Philip brought did not meet him.

Oh you thought I was going to tell you the way of salvation, well I'm telling you why are you calling me

good to begin with because only God is good.

So let's be done with our nice civility and by the way sell everything and follow me.

I knew you would find it tough walking away.

I know the tone I'm putting on it, the spin I'm putting on it is advantages to me

but all I'm trying to say is neat little boxes are God's favorite thing to collapse.

And the last one is egocentric.

I think I spent half the message trying to find words that start with E.

Otherwise I finished this message by yesterday afternoon.

Egocentric, when you are the center of your spirituality,

when you are the center, everything revolves around you.

I've got to always be careful that I don't go this way or this way.

I've got to be careful that I don't go this way or this way.

I've got to always be careful that I don't go this way or this way.

I don't have too much problem with this or this but I've got to make sure I'm not egocentric

and that I don't get esoteric thinking that ah you've got some great insight into now.

Holy Spirit brings insight.

Guys there's no taking life or land without subduing powers.

There is no taking life or land without subduing powers.

And you subdue powers by being spiritually perceptive.

You subdue powers by covenanting with a body as a whole.

You subdue powers by knowing that all your strength,

all your authority comes from submitting to the authority of Him who is Lord.

And His arrangement on earth.

You want me to say that list again?

There's no taking life or land without the subduing of powers that are subdued.

There are powers that oppose the kingdom here on earth.

There is no taking of life or land without that.

It's not possible.

There is an active enemy.

God gives us the ability to do this.

Trains our hands for war.

Our fingers for battle or the other way around.

But to subdue, you must covenant with a people.

You can't do this alone.

This isn't the days of oh you send out Goliath, I'll send out David.

No, our David has taken care of it.

He was the son of David.

Now he's saying I belong in a body.

I'm the head of the body.

We go out as a body.

Covenant with a people.

Submit to Him who is Christ and Lord.

Because to the degree that I submit to Him,

to that degree, everything else submits to me.

It's a very simple equation.

To the degree that I am submitted to His authority,

to that degree, I have authority over things that they submit to me.

Perceive things spiritually.

Perceive things spiritually.

Use what you have learned.

But know that there is so much more to learn tomorrow and day after and day after.

I got to end, guys, I know.

But how can you leave a message like this half Friday?

As in I couldn't have quit 20 minutes ago.

I could have, but I wouldn't be right.

There are rewards, guys, for taking a stance like this.

You take a stance against Jezebel, there are rewards.

There are rewards.

There are rewards, guys, for taking a stance like this.

There are rewards.

There are rewards.

There are rewards.

And these rewards are so relevant and pertinent to Acts 29.

Christ promises that if you take a stance against,

if you overcome Jezebel, the way you overcome something is by recognizing it.

That's what we are doing right now.

We are recognizing it.

It's like one of those things where you...

I forgot.

I forgot the example, but you throw paint on it and it'll show you what is hidden kind of a thing.

Throw a liquid on it and reveals what is hidden.

That kind of thing.

That's what we are doing.

We are throwing out these teachings so that Jezebel can be easily spotted.

It is an it, not a she.

Remember that.

Christ promises that if you overcome Jezebel,

that you will shepherd nations with an iron staff or scepter.

What a brilliant reward.

What a timely reward.

What a relevant reward for Acts 29.

That he promises, Christ promises.

It ain't some kind of, well, you know, I'll think about it.

I promise you, Jacob, that if you overcome Jezebel,

if you recognize her first and then overcome her,

then here's what I'll do for you, Jacob.

Here's what I'll do for you.

You and your people will shepherd nations with an iron staff or scepter.

Who does this belong to?

This prerogative belongs to the conquering Christ of Psalm 2, verse 7 and 9.

Psalms 2:7

Ask of me and I'll give you the nations for an inheritance.

And you shall take your scepter as king

and you shall shatter them like pottery.

Any rebellious nation.

Fear the son and kiss his ring.

That prerogative that belongs only to Christ is now being offered to us.

Just as he received it from the father,

he's saying, I'm giving you absolute shattering power over the nations.

And a global revival does not spread till people learn how to both receive

and then wield this kind of power.

But it comes through overcoming.

Overcoming this particular power is the power of the Father.

Overcoming this particular power in this particular case.

And then they also receive the Morning Star.

And the Morning Star is an allusion to the authority that we have over the enemy

because in Numbers 24, verse 17, when Balaam is prophesying

Numbers 24:17

and he cannot but speak the words of God, he says,

Behold, I see a scepter arising out of Jacob and he shall have a Morning Star.

And he will then use that scepter to bash in the heads of Moab and Sheth.

Numbers 24, 17.

So the idea of giving you a Morning Star is again saying,

listen, I'm giving you authority over Moab.

Moab was an enemy that plagued Israel continuously.

Moabites and Ammonites were well-known enemies of God.

And he's saying, listen, that's what Balaam prophesies.

And the irony is, it's a Moabite king that is calling Balaam to now curse Israel.

And now God is using the very man who's supposed to prophesy a curse.

He's now prophesying a blessing saying,

Out of Jacob shall rise a scepter and I shall give him the Morning Star.

Beautiful, eh?

We need to position ourselves to shepherd nations, guys.

We need to position ourselves to shepherd nations.

We need to position ourselves to shepherd nations.

I don't know which church we'll do next week, but I'm looking forward to this.

I'm kind of excited.

The great thing about preparing messages for this church is,

it's not like I have a series prepared three months ago that I'm going to give it to you.

I've got to now prepare, which is so much fun because it's a process of discovery, right?

I'm just four or five days ahead of you.

That's all.

Let's pray.

Father, I just want to come against the spirit of Jezebel and any incursion or entry into this church in any form or fashion.

But first, I want to pray for me, oh God, that one of the things the spirit of Jezebel does,

it manipulates, it exerts control by coercing, it deceives.

And so, Father, I just pray that you would begin to expose and identify areas of control,

of manipulation, of coercion in my life with regard to this church,

that you would expose it, that it would come to notice,

and then I'll have a choice to either turn away from it or be untrue to what I have taught.

I also pray, Father, that if there are any corridors into my life through which any such control is being exerted,

any compromise, any intimidation, accusation is being brought, that I would be able to shut it off, Father,

because how a leader goes, so goes the rest of the church.

And I pray that you would begin to expose it, that you would begin to expose it,

that you would begin to notice, and then I'll have a choice to either turn away from it or be untrue to what I have taught.

And so, Father, I just pray that you would begin to expose the rest of the flock.

When the shepherd is stuck, the sheep are scattered.

And so, make me aware, Lord, expose things in my life that I need to take stock of first.

And then I bring the rest of the church into you before you, God.

That wherever there are these very same things that I prayed for myself,

active in the life of those in the church.

That, Father, you would highlight it, so that there won't be even a footprint of this spirit and its work in our church.

Because this spirit has the ability like a python to just weave itself around

and squeeze the life out of the church slowly.

Father, we submit the prophetic in this church to you afresh, afresh.

That no false doctrine, no half-truth, no non-prophecies, no desire to be known through the prophetic,

no party line prophecy,

no unscriptural ways in the prophetic, be it a word of knowledge, prophetic preaching, prophetic words,

word of wisdom may enter this church.

And if there are any such things, Father, again, expose them, Father,

so that I may be able to deal with them or other leaders may be able to deal with them.

So I come against this spirit of Jezebel violently in this church.

And I say, in the name of Jesus Christ, with the help of angels,

I throw you down from the balcony that you've stand in.

I throw you down and I declare that your fate shall be complete destruction in this church,

stripped completely, bones left, nothing left.

So be it through my life upon the church or be it through any life in this church

that it is coming through.

I expose you, I shut you down in the name of Jesus Christ.

You will not have this church and what God wants to do through this body across the earth,

you will not have it.

Father, teach me how not to be a weak Ahab, but teach me how to be an Obadiah

that has the ability to break bread and feed and hide in refuge at the same time,

be as violent and aggressive as Jehu in not tolerating this power working through

either me onto people or people onto me.

No. Like Phoebe says, no.

I pray for people that come from families where the spirit of Jezebel is active.

And in the name of Jesus Christ, I sever people in whose families this spirit is active,

in whose families familiar spirits are at work.

I sever them.

I declare that you are biologically in that family,

but I connect you to the heritage of Christ who is your Lord and his father who is your father,

freeing you.

I know I'm shouting, Abba.

And finally, Father, we claim our rewards.

You said, ask of me and I will give you the nations for your inheritance.

We want the scepter and then we want the nations.

We want the scepter to shepherd nations.

We want to be rewarded for taking a stance against this power

so that we can use that scepter to open doors, to break down doors,

and to shepherd nations for your sake.

We don't want to be known, but we want this ability.

Grant us these things.

Establish this teaching.

Flesh it out, Spirit of God.

Is there anything else before we close?

Father, I pray for anybody who's listening to this teaching today or in the future

that will feel bruised after this teaching.

I pray, Father, that you would lead them to places where someone can pour oil and wine

and cause those bruises to heal.

Let them know that their bruising is only external, but internally they are delivered.

That the external bruising, it's like taking the vaccine.

People are not able to breathe.

They're not able to breathe.

They're not able to breathe.

They're not able to breathe.

They're not able to breathe.

They're not able to breathe.

Let the bruising, it's like taking the vaccine.

People say the arm is sore, but the body now has antibodies.

Let the bruising not be the focus.

Let the deliverance be the focus.

That's it, Abba.

Is there anything we can say or sing that would cement an anchor and complete this,

or do we just leave it as is?

Gosh, Lord, there are hardly any war songs.

Maybe I'll ask Emily to come up and sing the Train My Hands for War

and end with that, Father.

And so if people need to leave because of Mother's Day,

Happy Mother's Day again, guys, in case you didn't hear it said earlier.

But if people need to leave for Mother's Day thingies, that's fine, Father.

But we just want to sing this song with, as a people, not as individuals, as a people,

with an aggressive edge to it.

And finish with that, just once through, Abba.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Amen.

Very good, very good.

Take these hands and make them battle strong.

Wrestle with me, undefeated God.

Build me up on holy training grounds.

So I can learn to bring the barren lion down.

Take these hands and make them battle strong.

Wrestle with me, undefeated God.

Build me up on holy training grounds.

So I can learn to bring the barren lion down.

Okay.

Teach me how to use a stone and sling.

It is the only way to make a difference.

Teach me how to use a stone and sling.
