The Fallacy of the Jezebel Spirit

In today’s study “The Fallacy Of The ‘Jezebel Spirit,’" we will be answering these 5 questions:
1 - Who was Jezebel?
2 - What is a Jezebel spirit?
3 - Can Christians be influenced by the spirits of the dead?
4 - Are deliverance services biblical?
5 - What happens to your spirit at the moment of death?

[@stevenpate6923]

Tiff I am kind of confused about one thing and that is when we die in the spirit goes to heaven then it's playing to me about the rapture and the Gray's burst open and then those that remain will be caught up together

[@kathleen7428]

@@stevenpate6923 Our Spirit leaves our body and goes to be with Jesus Christ after we die, and at the rapture of the church those that are in the Lord and are still alive will be caught up to be with Jesus in the clouds. Resurrection bodies will be given and united with the spirits of the people who come in the clouds with Jesus. The dead in Christ will rise first, meaning their resurrection bodies will be united with their spirits.

I perceive it has only aimed at removing bondages of fear off people. But I don't agree that the willpower of one who doesnt stand covered by God's grace is stronger than demonic evil spirits who yes may take residence in them who participate in such things as the occult. Unfortunately true but there remains a Living Hope in Christ Jesus.. the Saviour of the world, the ONLY power to break every chain of bondage to those demonic influences. How? Through a repentance, and renouncement (if applicable) turnaround and salvation in the Name authority above all names/authorities under heaven and earth. Praise God for His Great Love and Divine Power! Blessed be the Name of Jesus from everlasting to everlasting; the Alpha and Omega of everything seen and unseen.

[@holyghostpilgrim]

@trulyso734 I have shared my thoughts on this subject with many many Christians over the years. I don't bother anymore. They can stay focused on the enemy, I keep my eyes on Jesus and look for opportunities to share the Good News with the lost. Tiff has been raised up to teach and admonish, so unless God places me behind the pulpit, I'm staying focused on the King and His Glory.

[@trulyso734]

@@holyghostpilgrim yes ok, nothing wrong with what you just texted. I hope there wasnt anything wrong with what Iv said either.

The music platform ministry . Light shows and envy's of the younger gen. Yeah we left . Tiff has sound teaching . We live off grid now .

I loved this message. I attend the Church that held the men’s event in Springfield, MO. The Pastor and his family are real Christians, they are not false teachers as some have said. My son attended the men’s event and he said the entertainer was a sword swallower and he was not a stripper. He wore a vest which he took off before he did his death defying act of swallowing a sword. Over 500 men came forward to receive Christ as their personal savior at this event which mainly consisted of Gospel preaching. The man who accused the Pastor of our church had just written a book about the supposed Jezebel spirit and was likely trying to increase his sales. Thank you for this message, I believe it will help many people. God Bless you.

As I thank you for the endeavour U always make to help saints in saving them from erring, and I really appreciate that, Man of God, I would like to present this question before U.

Just remember that our personal experiences are never equal to the truth of the Bible. What the Bible teaches is above all. Scripturally a Christian cannot be demon possessed, nor was there a single example of a believer being delivered in the entire New Testament, nor a deliverance service for believers. I am not judging you or your husband, but it is impossible for the Holy Spirit to dwell in us along with demon spirits.

Question: 🙋🏽‍♀️ pastor, Who was Jesus talking to, his followers and disciples. If this is for us, then why are we living in a time that even the church seems weak, there is no difference noticed between believers and those in the world. No people walk around wanting a Word but NOT the Word and they are selfish naming it an claiming it yet they have no fruit. Another question 🙋🏽‍♀️: Spirit filled, are you saying Holy Ghost baptized with the evidence of speaking in tongues like Pentecostals believe or a believer who follows Yahweh and is obedient to His word. I ask because coming out of the Pentecostal movement after being part of it for decades I want your opinion

[@michaelwillerson9034]

Tiff, we did not fully understand your statement that the free will of the unbeliever is more powerful than demons. Ephesians says the very faith to believe is a gift of God. Our free will is God’s allowing us to choose to worship him. There is no power to resist demons or any sinful acts in the free will of any man.

[@tiffshuttlesworth1955]

As I explained in the teaching, the vast majority of unbelievers are not demon possessed. Even the ministry of Christ revealed demon possession was a rare exception and not the rule. It would seem as the scripture teach us that even unbelievers must give a foothold or open door to demon possession.

Hi Pastor Tiff - Thank-you for your powerful word. I have a question - you say in the New Testament there is no example of Christians having demons delivered from them. In many places in the New Testament Jesus drives out demons from people including The exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac (Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39), frequently known as the Miracle of the (Gadarene) Swine and the exorcism of Legion, is one of the miracles performed by Jesus according to the New Testament. Do you mean that these exorcisms performed by Jesus were performed on those who were NOT Christian’s. I am confused. Thank-you for your ministry and bless you

with due respect...you teach very well about the end times but unfortunately you are not well studied about spiritual warfare and just because you dont do any deliverances especially for Christians doesnt necessarily mean that they dont need deliverancs....i guess God really does use people who are not all round perfect in their understanding and His Word...by the way, WHO is this "Jezebel" that the Book of Revelation is talking about in Rev. 2:20 which was wriiten hundreds of years after queen Jezebel had died which you have said in this video that "NOT ONE TIME" is a "jezebel spirit" ever mentioned in the Bible........God Bless.. i will however stick with your really good teachings about the last days and the Rapture......( and will skip your spiritual warfare teachings....)

[@tiffshuttlesworth1955]

No respected Bible teacher teaches the Jezebel in Revelation is the same Jezebel in the Old Testament. Same name different woman. I have been involved in demonic deliverance in multiple nations of the world and have almost 50 years of experience in spiritual warfare. The fact is, if you believe the Bible, there is not one single deliverance of any believer. NOT ONE! I challenge you to show anything from the New Testament that supports deliverance for believers. It is your view that needs alignment with the Bible.

[@firstpeter31822]

Ecclesiastes 10:20 KJV: "Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter." That's a monitoring spirit. But I still don't believe that Christians can be demon-possessed though I once did. Recently, I was being put through an exorcism by a relative who is involved in deliverance ministry. There I faked a demonic possession and faked my deliverance because of my unbelief in that thing.

[@Americanwoman74]

Where do you get thats a spirit of any kind? Smh. Im not even going to ask you what a monitoring spirit is because all we needto know is we are to put on the full armor of God because we don't war with flesh and blood. We already know what the battle is about so why are people and pastors out here needing to identify names and ranks, job titles of the enemy and his minions? That's a distraction by itself! You're spending too much time trying to identify and not enough time sharpening your sword. Just saying.

[@BrothaAustin]

Tiff,the argument could be made that the young psychic slave girl of Acts 16:16-19 technically believed in Christ and even testified that the message Paul preached of Jesus was the true way of salvation.I'm of the belief that there is a distinct difference in believing in Jesus with mental assent and believing on Him for salvation.The bible never says she got saved but the argument could be made she was a believer.I do,however, (after looking at this again) see that Paul did not make a grand spectacle of casting the demon out.He even allowed it to agitate for many days.These "deliverance" guys are pretending to cast out demons that aren't really there to quickly promote and puff up themselves while Paul did it matter of factly seemingly as a course of normal business.Anyway,that passage of scripture would be the only leg they could stand on of a believer possibly being demon possessed.

[@trulyso734]

Well, when the work/business of God's message going out is being disrupted due to the disturbances caused by evil spirits (demons), then we can rebuke it or cast it out of the worker's midst if soaked in prayer or prayer and fasting beforehand. Demons can yell out a true thing but they dont come from a good intent. (As per Satan's temptation attempts toward Jesus). Just fyi in passing. All church related ministries shouldnt be a casting demons out of one another when they are supposed to be Spirit filled believers in Christ. And relating biblically

[@tiffshuttlesworth1955]

She was not a believer. Even demons believed in Jesus and said so. James 2:19
