JEZEBEL: THE DEMONS THAT WOULD NOT LEAVE!Beyond a doubt, I know the witchcraft side of religiosity rather well for Imyself was once its captive. Yet, when I consider how challenging it has been forme to cast the spirit of witchcraft out of others, I marvel at how no human beingever cast this demon from me. When I got marvelously saved from my stronginvolvement with the python spirit of divination, the Holy Ghost overshadowed meHimself. So my own freedom is a testimony that what may seem impossible with menis possible with God. In recent years, I have been surprised to discover thatwitchcraft is only one side of Jezebel, as this demon's primary side isreligious. Since I myself was an atheist, I only experienced the witchcraft sideof Jezebel. When considering the demon Jezebel, we generally think of a femaleseductress and therefore sexual images are foremost in our minds. It is true thatwhere idolatrous religions are concerned, sex, lust and worship are intricatelyintertwined. But make know mistake. The distinguishing characteristic of thespirit of Jezebel is in itself "religious." Jezebel is the religious style ofthis face of the spirit of the Anti-Christ, an overwhelming narcissistic pridethat has an arrogant self image of perfection. Mainly caused by a refusal toaccept their own imperfections, the pride of the Jezebel demon unrealisticallydenies its sinful nature. For built into the soul of such a captive is astrength of will that hinders a captive so afflicted to be able to submit hiswill to the Lord.Consequently, captives to the Jezebel demon find it extremely difficult torepent. Like Satan himself, the plight of those afflicted with this demon isakin to that of an eternal rebel. As Satan cannot accept his final judgment,Jezebel's captives cannot even submit themselves to the demands of their ownconscience and therefore willfully refuse to accept responsibility for their ownactions. The cases included in this chapter consist of both my successes andmy failures at attempting to cast out religious, charismatic demons. Over time,I have found the failures to be extremely valuable because of the truths aboutcharismatic witchcraft that have been uncovered and that I now choose to exposeoperating with in the last days church. I treasure failures because there isfrequently a priceless nugget of truth hidden within them that comes from thegrace of God. In the words written to the Corinthians, Paul explains the power offailure much better than I do. Paul believes that failures are even worth braggingabout. "Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that thepower of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, inreproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake, For whenI am weak, then I am strong." (II Corinthians 12:9,10)When I myself entered into the New Age occult movement, I was so ignorant ofthe spirit world that I didn't even know that demons existed. Once I found out,it took years for me to develop my spiritual senses to be able to distinguish theLord's voice from demonic revelations. I wasn't saved when I became a necromancerand consequently, I was not completely removed from its grip as a babe in Christ.Once I received a knowledge of the truth, I burned my occult books and soughtbaptism by immersion. I continue to thank and praise the Lord Jesus Christ thateven though I was deceived, I was virtually unknown and therefore, I have led veryfew astray. I am blessed to have been allowed to share the truth of my spiritualerror with virtually everyone whose lives I had influenced prior to my owncomplete deliverance. Unfortunately, today there are several well knowntelevision evangelists and mega pastors who are in serious error regarding therealm of the spirit---persons who influence countless people on a daily basis.
 
The spiritual damage that has been incurred is beyond any human being's ability toestimate. Only God knows. If those who mislead are truly saved, they will haveto give an account at the Judgment Seat of Christ. For example, the religious demon used the ministry of Benny Hinn to play asignificant role in yet another face of charismatic witchcraft, a 32 year oldAsian woman whose name I have changed to "Amala." Amala is a former Hindu,presently residing in Durban South Africa. I have never met Amala personally, andso I present her profile here, in her own words: "My mother was a Hindu, saved long before I was born and my father is aChristian. I was born and raised in a Christian home. I attended the churchof the Nazarene and then we joined a pentecostal/charismatic church when I was25. Therefore I have been an active churchgoer for 30 years. In spite of thefact that I was born Christian, since my mother was a Hindu, I was dedicatedat birth to Hindu gods, as is the Hindu tradition. Falling slain in the spirit used to be such a beautiful experience for me. Asa child, I went with my grandfather to temple. A power used to come over me,my knees would go weak and I could not stand upright. I would fall back tothe floor and never get hurt. I remember one time, when this presence was sostrong. I landed a few feet away from my chair and again, never got hurt. Idid not need anyone to lay hands on me to be slain. It used to happen evenwhile I worshiped. I also experienced travail. I was told that the spirit of intercession hadcome over me and I literally felt like I was giving birth to something. I wastold that I was giving birth to souls. You are on the floor when thishappens and you scream because the pain is so bad. I also experiencedspeaking in tongues. I also sang in the spirit. A spirit would enter meand take over my voice, singing and reaching high notes that I could neverreach in my natural voice. It sounded like angels singing---the mostbeautiful sound you ever heard. I even prophesied once and had dreamsthat came to pass. I also danced in the spirit. A spirit inside of mewould appear to dance before the Lord through me. You should know that Iam a naturally reserved person but when this spirit manifests itself, Iwould dance in front of the whole church--- something I would nevernormally do.I got deeper and deeper into word of faith teachings, particularly Benny Hinn.I believed every teaching literally until I used my faith to believe forsomething that did not come to pass. I prayed, fasted, confessed the word,stood on the word and my loved one still died. I began to doubt God, refusingto read or believe the bible. I have since repented for doubting God asthis was my fault. I was helped by websites like yours that expose falsedoctrine. I prayed and asked God to show me if I had received anything thatwas not from Him. I soon began to dream of snakes (the python spirit) and Ibegan to go to a different pastor for prayer. He prayed a very simple prayer
 
and suddenly I fell to the floor, writhing and twisting like a snake.I was horrified because I believed that my life in Christ was okay. I amstill finding it difficult to have a relationship with God because of thisspirit that refuses to leave me. My current pastor has spent hours praying forme but it has still come back. My pastor has counseled me that I need to bestronger and not allow myself to fall into depression as it has come back,hoping to gain control over me. I am really trying... During deliverance, aspirit of laughter manifested and refused to leave, saying that Lucifer iswatching and that it had followed me from my previous word of faith church.I believe that the travail I experienced was the gateway for spirits of the deadto live in my body---spirits of family members including my uncle are livinginside of me. When they manifest, they behave like they did in life. Theirmannerisms manifest through me, one by one. They were all removed duringdeliverance, but I find deliverance is very tiring and really drains mephysically." I believe that Amala clearly and accurately describes her own experiencewith the religious demon yet she is incorrect in her assessment. By dedicatingAmala to a Hindu god, her ancestors are definitely the original source of hercaptivity. However, the spirits that have her bound are merely demons,masquerading as her deceased family members. A faulty assumption can lead towrong decisions. Until Amala allows her mind to be renewed with truth, I suspectthat she will remain bound. The words of Dr. Rebecca Brown in " Unbroken Curses"ring true: "When a child, or even an unborn offspring, is dedicated to the service ofSatan, demon spirits are assigned the task of insuring that the child remains inSatan's service all of his life. Such dedications may not be worded sospecifically, but this fact is inherent in all such rituals. For instance,children dedicated in the Mormon church are endowed with the spiritual power ofthe prophets to insure that they remain good Mormons all of their lives.Oaths taken by members of various lodges contain statements which dedicatetheir offspring and descendants to the service of the lodge, which is the sameas dedicating them to the demon gods of the lodge or to Satan. All childrenof American Indians are dedicated to their gods. The same is true inAfrican tribes and around the world." (R. Brown, D Yoder pg. 40)The written words of Susan clearly demonstrates how the abandonment tosupernatural power which is believed to be of God by those who refer to themselvesas "Spirit-filled" can bring confusion and bondage. Although the manifestationswere periodical in this case and the captive appears to be comparatively of asound mind, her fruitfulness in Christ has been successfully hindered by areligious demon. In what is described as periods of "attacks", this particularwoman is being persistently destroyed for a lack of knowledge. Countlessbelievers find themselves in this sort of bondage simply because they have nottried the spirits to see if they be of God. Also in Susan's case, it is apparent
