![]() ![]() He seems to know everything about everyone. If there is ever a situation where information is important, he will push to be the “first” to know it. If you are with such a person and tell of your accomplishment or victory, you can be assured he will quickly tell of something he has accomplished.Ī Jezebel loves to be in control of information. He feels threatened by anyone who dares to steal the limelight or anyone who is a threat to his power and control. Criticizing others elevates the controller in his own mind.Ī person with a Jezebel spirit will always upstage another person. Even though he likes the plan, he can only criticize it because the idea did not originate from him. He has to be the one who looks good, so he will quickly sharply criticize anyone who makes a suggestion or plan. This is a characteristic of a controller. This again puts the controller in a position of power. There are those who have gone out of their way to bless a Jezebel by being the catalyst of sending him on a trip or giving a gift. He just cannot bring himself to say thank you or to acknowledge that someone else did something right. One is not free to disagree with a controller.Ī Jezebel will rarely acknowledge another person’s actions, not even for something that turned out to greatly benefit the Jezebel. This puts the person out of the leader’s grace and forces him to either “come around” to the leader’s way of thinking or be indefinitely ignored. Some in these situations have been ignored for months, just because they chose not to be a puppet and say to every idea or whim. This tactic is frequently used by leaders when someone doesn’t agree with their plans, and they isolate the person by ignoring him. The fact that Jezebel can look you in the eye and lie just shows how strong and adamant this rebellious and recalcitrant spirit is.Ī classic ploy of a controller is to ignore you when you disagree with him. He always fools those whom he’s just met while those who have been victimized by his tactics stand by helplessly. He can turn on the charm and make you believe blue is red. Although he will work hard, his motive is never pure, and eventually his secret agenda cannot be hidden.Ī Jezebel lies convincingly. He seemingly has endless (nervous) energy and eagerly looks for opportunities to be in charge of projects. Confusion keeps them “undiscovered” and unexposed.Ī Jezebel volunteers in order to establish control. When confronting a Jezebel, the subject may be changed five times in one minute. This is a way to maintain control and domination. The context was so vague that no one was without confusion. One pastor wrote a six-page letter to his elders about a situation in the church. It is impossible to converse with a Jezebel in logic. In the eyes of a Jezebel, having information you don’t have is a powerful weapon of control. ![]() A Jezebel wields power over you by knowing something you don’t know in a situation. The Jezebel spirit is clever in its agenda. The Jezebel sits back looking innocent, saying “Who me? What did I do?” This behavior makes it difficult for even the most ardent truth seekers to pin one down. The Jezebel gets another person’s emotions stirred up, then lets that person go into a rage. ![]() The Jezebel spirit lets others do its dirty work. While a strong trait of Jezebel is to never take responsibility for his wrong actions or behavior, he also is quick to take credit for benefits for which he contributed no effort. When a Jezebel apologizes it is never in true repentance or acknowledgment of wrongdoing but rather “I’m sorry your feelings were hurt.” ![]() To accept responsibility would violate the core of insecurity and pride from which it operates. There is no doubt that it functions just as proficiently through men.Ī Jezebel spirit is never wrong, unless it is a temporary admittance of guilt to gain “favor” with someone. Although the Jezebel spirit is described in the Bible as being a woman, it does not actually have a gender. Jezebel is a spirit, but it finds access through uncrucified flesh. ![]()
