Passive Men and Controlling Women | Pastor Mark Driscoll

Have you noticed that our culture is filled with passive men and controlling women? What you may not know is that these demonic movements are empowered by the Jezebel and Ahab spirits, who have been at work since the days of Elijah. In this sermon, Pastor Mark tells that the story of Elijah gives context for real men, especially those who may struggle with the Ahab spirit and leave themselves vulnerable to the Jezebel spirit.

I am a woman and what he is preaching is true. I have seen this happen as well. Both women and men in the church need to be aware. I saw this happening to a church once and explained to them the story of the two women who came to Solomon and each claimed a baby- Solomon said let’s cut the baby in half and give half to each. The woman who was not the mother and had no love for the child was agreeable- she’d rather see it dead than with the real mother- the true mother said no - don’t kill the baby - give it to the other woman ( who was not the mother) because she loved the child and would rather it live even if it was with someone else - this is how Solomon knew who the real mother was- the love for the child- when someone would rather see the church destroyed than admit they may be in the wrong then you know they have no love for Christ or His church. This is how young people - young children get hurt and leave the church to never return- the division caused by these spirits causes more damage than we realize. The apostle’s gave us scripture on how things should be done in the body of Christ for a reason. As scripture says things are to be done decently and in order - we are to follow scripture guidelines. If you do not bad things happen.

This is such a revelation even in relationships

[@marlenewagg7962]

Praise God for this man....Lord we need more men like this....our churches are over run by Jezebels and Ahabs...they have dumbed down the Prophets of God....this is another reason why the church is now apostate!!!🙏🙏🙏

[@laurabora9750]

A lot of women crave for a man that leads with boldness and confidence that comes the Lord. When men are passive and let the women lead, the women ( like myself ) are turned off. Even if a man even like says " what do you want to do? What restaurant do you want to go to?" and doesn't make enough decisions, it makes her feel like the mother. It's exhausting! Men lead and women follow.

[@freespiritpearl89]

I want a man who respects me and respects my freedom. I don't want someone to control me like a robot. I want someone to help me just like I would help then in a time of trouble.

[@simplymee22]

Wow!! This is exactly how I feel. Down to the T!!

[@virsapiensfortisest922]

I agree!! It’s a HUGE turn off. I want a manly man that leads but not runs over me. It’s a balance. I definitely don’t want a simp. Gross.

[@cchamb]

Thank you again for your preaching. It has helped my marriage and me as a wife and daughter of God so much.

[@lizcuero9065]

Thank You Lord for sending me to a good church where there is an Elijah.

[@jessicafoster3142]

Thank you for boldly speaking on topics where the world would want to silence it. May God bless you and your family and may God's warring angels surround and encamp around you and your ministry, protecting you in battle. Amen.

[@gabrielpaul4347]

Mark Driscoll is just the best preacher I've ever come across. I can directly credit this man with my return to faith. Specifically the ash Wednesday special with Steven Crowder. What a legend.

[@glennlight2317]

He is absolutely correct! Especially if you know your Bible well.

[@brianmorgan4627]

Sending up a prayer for you brother

[@rodrigodejesusdomingues1694]

Biblical. All glory to the Lord!

[@stanpody213]

He’s dealing with a spirit. You don’t be nice to the devil. Good Teaching!

[@worldgonemad812]

This pastor is BANG ON. There is one of those women at every church!! As a pastors wife I can attest to this!! Such greif for leadership but boy one encounter with a Jezebel spirited woman and you learn quickly how to handle them and how to spot them a MILE away!!

[@linkie9512]

Excellent teaching, sir!

[@Flammondo]

Wow. Thanks for sharing that word. Needed to hear that.

[@TheMoonkelly]

Men and women are equals who lead their house together. One does not dominate, control, or fix the other.

[@gottabtru1]

Solid teaching

[@DJGra-jy711]

So true ... Thank You Pastor Mark...

[@mark0bravo]

We need more teachings on how a man should deal with a jezebel spirit in his wife. Practical, what-to-do advice about how to stand in a godly way, how to endure the emasculation and false accusations a jezebel wife will hurl when a man is trying to lead his family in the right way. This is an epidemic in the church.

[@rascallyrabbit]

perfect

[@toastyy4]

It has everything to do with Genesis 3:16 when God spoke to the woman and less to do with spirits.

[@RedeemedSon144]

Ellen G White was a controlling Jezebel "karen". I got out. Am a baptist now. Feel better, but pray for my whole family; they are still controlled by that Jezebellian denomination, including my kids (and ex-)

[@tashaclayton7569]

Wow!

[@rc123theycallme]

Amen.

[@ericzarate5758]

Amen 🙏 !!!

[@mariomaffini8773]

Amen

[@aramisy.cajigas744]

"This preaching is misogynistic!" cried a feminist.

[@WalkerJani]

Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Satan deceived Eve into thinking she either Had or should have control, God said for her to Submit.(Healthy Submission in Marriage) Normally you are pretty spot on Mark, but re read Genesis 3.

[@MichaelSmith-md1fs]

Pastor Mark How do you Deal with a Jezebel spirit.

[@tashaclayton7569]

Excellent question

[@eatpraylovetube2146]

❤❤❤

[@Ruth-vy1qj]

Jesus didn't died on the cross for us to be control by others. There will be people that will try to control you because of their insecurities. I had to left a church it was to many people that want to be into your business and they don't take care of their own affairs. It was to many gossip/judgmental people. I did saw a few of them reap what they sow in their personal life causing problems in the church.

[@onset5610]

I know men who are controlling & women who are passive. A lot of men are passive today hence single women owing more homeownership then single men. I know men who are soooo argumentative and it’s literally draining as they want to argue like I’m a man with them, there for I will walk away or change the subject.,The points he made I don’t think are necessary always stuck in the spiritual aspect sometimes it’s a human reaction to things. He sounds like like he’s got cut a few times… yet I’ have seen this happen * so he isn’t wrong.

[@marz9676]

Controlling men are a more prevalent issue and are often a danger to women.

[@christianmiranda23]

If anyone knows a pastor like this in the Inland Empire area of Southern California, please let me know. I need his help

Greetings from the Tates church. We as well hear Driscoll

This is ridiculous😮

Narcissism

[@Realbeardedgamerdad]

👍🏻❤️🥃🇺🇸

[@willoday]

Not sure use of the term "Ahab spirit"... I mean, it's just a type of personality

[@sirena9167]

People have different personalities, but the Jezebel and Ahab are spirits that are strong in today’s culture even with different personalities.

[@deirdrehelms5958]

And HERE is the misogyny

[@lizcuero9065]

Witch covens belong in the oven.😂😂

[@andrewm6666]

Wow. ‘Epic’ off roading. Bmx’ing background. Helicopters! Manhood. Maybe some growth hormone and Bow hunting!!! Sweet trailer. Cliche

[@goldenbadger8247]

This is so inaccurately

[@iamnotgroot7419]

All women are Jezebel! None are Elijah.

[@sheenaxoxo5787]

You forgot to put worldly women! If you think all women are jezebel maybe you have an ahab and need to get delivered from it. One thing is women just want to be heard and if we are not heard we come off as nagging or controlling. A lot of people have been wounded and coming from insecurities and traumas!

[@nildaluzrodriguez]

Toxic masculinity.

[@jessejames5335]

You mean toxic Femininity

[@explodedstarmonkey]

He also discusses the spirit of "toxic femininity" and how men and women can embody either. Though neither masculinity or femininity in and of themselves are toxic. Rather being controlling or too passive is toxic. Or whatever we can just not watch the video and regurgitate bs catch phrases.

[@nildaluzrodriguez]

@@explodedstarmonkey "regurgitate bs catch phrases". Seems like it bothered you. Just the first two minutes of the background introduction of this pastors video says a lot of the heart of the matter of these men. I can sum it up in three words" steal, kill, and destroy. The Pastor said he's observed thousands of women as having the "spirit of Jezebel", and has not influenced any of them to Christ? He speaks to an audience of men as if men aren't innate to spiritual character flaws. His message is unbiblical. Jezebel was a real person in biblical history times that in no fashion today would legally be able to be done by any woman. Historically men have objectified women. Accusations that the Pastor is spewing would have caused many women to be killed in the 1800 and early 1900s. At some point the pastor claimed that DID(dissociative personality disorder) and multiple personality disorder is tied to the Jezebel spirit. Imagine having a mental illness caused by circumstances out of your control, and being told(accused) you're a Jezebel, whore,. witch, or whatever mean spirited words. He again didn't mention men having mental illness but rather: WOMEN. If anyone is knowledgeable on mental disorders, since we all have a mind, mental disorders does not discriminate, and mental disorders are caused by neurological and biological illnesses or chemicals that are off key, and yes, it can be supernatural too, but you can't be going around slandering women having mental health issues being a Jezebel just because 1: you're biased 2. prideful and ignorant 3. ignorant of mental health and the woman's experience/s. Anyone that is dead can not be touched by dead spirits. What I believe this pastor speaks of is the nature of pride and sin in US ALL that needs to be addressed and transformed. Would it be fair to say that soldiers that come back from war with PTSD is because they are fearmongering killers and bloodthirsty murderers that have killed men of God? If you listen with intent, the pastor comes off as prideful, ignorant, misleading, and is highly misinformed. Hopefully God will enlighten him of the errors of his message. Also, I'm not a feminist either. I honor and respect my husband, mother and father, and my LORD God. However, in these times we live in especially, I will not honor a false teacher(s) like the pastor in this video. Pastor Gino Jennings discusses similar ideas of this Pastor talks about but with gender fairness. Pastor Jennings addresses the immodest and sensual sexual nature of men and women, and he biblical rebukes with scriptures and gives a well fine tuned explanation of repentance and coming out of those behaviors and sins. This Pastor in this video claims he is a son of God. To me, he's a son of wrath to come? Maybe he's observed thousands of women being a "Jezebel" because he's the head honcho of that character he aims to accuse others of? Both men and women are responsible for their sins. Neither man nor woman should control one another in a relationship in an abusive manner, but rather have Spirit Led self control to resist the filth of the world. God bless you, sir. Sorry if you feel offended.

[@nildaluzrodriguez]

Also, if I may add, emotions are built into us by God. The bible says to cry out: EMOTION. Jesus overthrew tables in the temple on the Sabbath due to direct violation from others concerning the Sabbath. What is that: EMOTION. Jesus wept...the shortest verse in the scriptures: EMOTION. This idea that women are emotional is not at all insulting. Humans have fears, joy(happiness), anger, sadness, and jealousy. To know surprise, all those can be matched up biblical with the same emotion God/Jesus had. You are not greater than the Master. Weep little lion men...

[@explodedstarmonkey]

@@nildaluzrodriguez lol yes toxic masculinity is a bs catch phrase.
