Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from what we believe; they will follow lying spirits and teachings that come from demons. These teachers are hypocrites and liars. They pretend to be religious, but their consciences are dead. 1 Timothy 4:1-2
The bible says in the last days, many will fall. It is not a guarantee that if you are serving the Lord for a long time, you will enter the kingdom of God.
Seducing Spirits - misleading spirit. Satan is the father of lies. He will use the seducing spirit so many will fall. This spirit looks like an angel of light.
Jezebel Spirit - a controlling spirit who leads people astray.
But I have this complaint against you. You are permitting that woman - that Jezebel who calls herself a prophet - to lead my servants astray. She is encouraging them to worship idols, eat food offered to idols, and commit sexual sin. Revelation 2:20
CONTROLLING SPIRIT
Dominates another person for personal gain.
PRINCIPAL METHODS USED TO CONTROL
a. Emotional manipulation - rage, tears, silence, pouting, facial expressions appear because of disgust.
b. Spiritual manipulation - instead of being edified, you were controlled instead.
ATTACKS, CONTROLS, DOMINATES OR MANIPULATES AUTHORITY FIGURES LIKE HUSBANDS, PASTORS OR BOSS'
He likes to control those people because if the leader falls, and order is destroyed, everything goes with it. If there is disorder in the place, God is not there, because God is a God of order. They find it hard to succumb to whoever is in power. They control with sarcasm, sharp tongue and endless demands.
CAUSES FEAR, FRIGHT & DISCOURAGEMENT
They can make you feel discouraged about something which will keep you away from church or your ministry.
INSECURE & PRONOUNCED EGO NEEDS
They need to be pampered with compliments. They need to be popular. They need to be needed. He makes others depend on him. They are perfectionist and legalistic.
When a woman is submitted to her husband, Jezebel tactics cannot affect their marriage. When the body of believers is submitted to it's leader the church will grow and develop into a beacon of light in the dark simple world around it.
