"Steve C. Re: Jezebel"
Steve,
I have seen many convicting items through the years regarding
non-submission, Jezebel, etc... I'm not sure of my
husband's salvation status, but I can say for sure that he is
not serving the Lord routinely. I have stood convicted
many times of acting as Jezebel. It is sincerely not my
desire to drive my husband away from the Lord, but to draw him
TO the Lord. I often open my mouth like Jezebel before I
even know what I am saying. I know that this is a
sure sign of a stronghold. (when you continually go down a
road almost against your will). So, I went in my prayer
closet (many times) to renounce Jezebel and repent. I just
could not get to the bottom of why she thought she had
permission to walk on me. Through a series of dreams/and
visions, God revealed to me that when I was very young, I
suffered a brutal act by a neighbor man. The same night I
had the initial dream, God woke me like a bolt of lightening
with the word Vashti. I immediately grabbed my bible and
found in Esther 1:17 For this deed of the queen shall come
abroad unto all women so that they shall despise their husbands
in their eyes, when it shall be reported the King Ahasuerus
commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she
came not. Based on this verse I realized that
through this heinous act of my neighbor, I picked up a Vashti
spirit. Vashti was a defiant wife who refused her husband
outright. Jezebel, when she heard of her husband's
sadness, wrote a letter to get him the vineyard that he was
coveting. To me, Vashti is the more defiant wife and Jezebel was
more an over-bearing evil co-hort. I am still
disentangeling myself from Vashti, Jezebel and Venus (I believe
they were all working in tandem in my life), but I know that I
will overcome, because my Jesus will complete the good work that
he has started! I hope this helps someone else.
Sincerely,
Deborah W.
