The old saying, "It takes two" is most applicable with this jezebel spirit (no caps, no honor) Mr. Frangipane was most helpful in his analysis and description of this problem in the modern church. However, I feel that he has overlooked to stress that this spirit of jezebel comes in order to divide and destroy churches which are making a difference in their communities and the world. It is a spirit which uses lies to divide God's people. It not only operates to control only one person but, the thoughts and actions of many in a congregation. jezebel has many deceitful tactics and will use anyone it can to destroy a church. Mr. Frangipane, men can have a jezebel spirit too. What's worse well meaning christians go looking for jezebel behind every look, gesture, and innocent comment. jezebel loves this because it operates to use suspician and speculation (gossip!!) to ruin people, especially those who have an Elijah anointing, and real spiritual authority, which is who jezebel really wants to destroy. I would reccommend this booklet to anyone having problems in their marriage and family life, those who cannot understand why they feel so much like an outcast in their own church, those who are experiencing problems of teen rebellion, rejection, dis-obedience of any kind, false accusations, fault-finding, self-pity, sleeplessness, bondage, broken hearts, bitterness, hatred, and insecurity.
Also, read The Elijah Task, by John & Paula Sandford; Dealing with the Rejection and Praise of Man, by Bob Sorge; Worship Him, by Fuchsia Picket, (worship is tantamount to spiritual victory); Exposing Witchcraft in the Church, Rick Godwin; Humility, by Andrew Murray, (this book is important, humility is a strong key to overcomming jezebel.)

Francis Frangipane is an excellent teacher of the concepts of the spirit world. His knowledge and his clear way of giving that information makes all of his books a blessing to read.
The Jezebel Spirit can cause serious problems in your church and in your personal life, it is a smart move to know how to deal and conquer this influence. Knowledge brings you victory.

This is a vitally important, though brief... introduction/ outline of the way the spirit world does battle. You have heard about it waaaay back in 'bible times'; but you did not think these things actually took place today.There is a good reason most of us do not know about this...the seminaries stopped teaching it. That is to say, such things as "discerning spirits" (detecting demonization in another individual) is something from the "lunatic fringe of the Christian faith. The spiritual powers and gifts are not taught, nor understood, nor pursued by the vast majority of mainstream ministers and denominations. Thus , these matters have become relegated to the hinterlands of normal Christian worship. Yes. These things are openly scoffed at and mocked by the average minister. Everyone must remember that 50% of ministers are fired by their church boards (of course they use more polite and genteel terms, but the effect is the same) . Therefore, both clergy, and their bishoprics are "job scared" and do what the "average joes", in the church, tell them to do! Hence, we have a meaningless, and powerless Christian Faith...we have become the Pharisees now; parading about as "spiritual leaders", yet totally ineffective at even slowing the precipitous, and terrifying moral and economic decline, and military defeat.

This book will make it clear how these processes work. Jezebel put some 400 prophets of God to death, until God Himself sent a brute to dethrone Jezebel in a blood bath. Today, Jezebel works in a more subtle manner...simply asking ministers who pursue the real power of the Christian Faith to simply resign and/or move on. Move on where? To anonymity, discreditedness, and unemployed. It has the same effect. Because today, we have people who wear clothes with the name of the company who manufactured the apparel emblazoned on their breasts (Hilfiger, Old Navy, etc). These people who happily become mindless cogs in the wheel of (deceitful and visciously greedy and ruthless) corporations are, naturally horrified that their minister of "religion" might be "odd", or unique, somehow. So these sheep have their own shepherd "iced", "Badda Boom, Badda Bing...if you will.( It gives them a sense of power, you see. )

The true Christian Faith has been likened to the Impala of Africa. They are capable of leaping ten feet in the air...and at distances of 30 feet. So how is it, that the Impala is confined in zoos by 3 foot high walls? Because they will not jump to where they can not see where their feet will land. It is like this in today's Christian Church. I attend an Episcopal Church, so I am entitled to critisize it. It is a beautiful, and solemn service. But it is extremely, and very tightly controlled. There is not a whif of improvisation whatsoever.
The notion of the Holy Spirit breaking loose, with people leaping all over the place, is a matter of grave concern and abject fear on the part of the Lexus and BMW driving "management" of that church.

It should be noted, in closing, that this prevails only in the prosperous White World. In Africa where the Anglican church is
strong, there are about ten times as many enthusiastic followers of Jesus, who are quite unabashed about dreaming visions, speaking in tongues, and healing the sick, and giving sight to the blind.
So as you read this book, and others like it, bear that in mind:
that the materialist society and the Jezebel society, and the proliferation of pornography society is where Jezebel has total control. I suggest that "she" may well be controlling you. In ways you did not know she was controlling you.

After having dealt with the previously "unidentified" spirit for nearly 20 years, I can tell you this was a "chilling read." So much confirmation! I only wish I knew then what I know now. Beware, "Jezebel" isn't just a menace to churches, but can tear up a family as well. I highly recommend this, and I intend to real more on this highly manipulative and destructive demonic spirit!

A very good resource for anyone involved in spiritual warfare. The scriptural accounts are accurate and the real life accounts are powerful. This book is short and to the point. Francis brings to light the power of the modern day prophetic ministry and it's purpose.

This booklet was the key to coming out of my warfare. I would highly recommend this book to others who are bound by the spirit of fear, jealousy, insecurity, etc., and I have. I absolutely loved reading this book!!! As I was reading it, I could feel the heaviness lift with every page I turned. I feel like my old self again.

Pastor Frangipane has touched upon a very controversial (but vital) area where satan (the deceiver and adversary) has *greatly* influenced and deceived men and women, both inside and outside the churches. The Jezebel/Ahab principality is (from my experience and discernment in ministry) a very, very powerful means of undermining values and authority that is required within the Kingdom of God. GOD HAS A DIVINE ORDER; satan ALWAYS seeks to subvert and pervert and usurp that Order and

righteous authority. Anyone involved in Christian ministry should read this book thoroughly and pray for discernment. The battle between Light and darkness, truth and rebellion is very, very real.

Francis Franfipane gives a good overview in this short book of the Jezebel spirit and how it operates in either an individual or in an organization such as a church. The Jezebel spirit can exist in both men and women but seems to prefer to us feminine traits. It often operates in a person who wishes to dominate others because of insecurity or jealousy. The domineering wife is an example of Jezebel in action. Of course Jezebel cannot exist without an Ahab who is afraid to exercise his spiritual authority and put his house in order. The Jezebel spirit seeks to change women into men and make men into women.

Leadership positions in the church can be sought by women infected by the Jezebel spirit. The best way to prevent this situation from occurring is to be eternally vigilant. Each church needs to always have on hand a specially trained team to war against Jezebel. Frangipane reminds us that Jesus Himself has granted to us His authority to deal with the enemy and one section of the book describes in detail how we can wage corporate warfare against Satan's powers.

I read this book last summer. I was a target of someone who was operating under the influence of this spirit. Every point the book makes is a perfect match for this type of person. Since I am a passive type of person (more on the Ahab side), I learned (and am still learning) how to deal with people who are influenced by this spirit. My relationships are getting better all the time. Even though I am a believer, if I wasn't I wouldn't care why they made it. The principles in it helped me to regain ground that I had lost in my life. Great book!

This blew me away. The Series is excellent. It really brought home what we are truly fighting.
