The Spirit of Witchcraft

It’s really easy to point out the branches and practices of literal, Occultic witchcraft. However, before it’s ever a spell, incantation, ritual, or hex, it’s a spirit. This means that far more of us are guilty of witchcraft than we realise.

Toxic Femininity: What Is It and Is Toxic Masculinity to Blame?

Months ago, an acquaintance of mine posted a question on Facebook asking what toxic femininity was. I admit, I was baffled. I’d never in my life thought of the phrase “toxic femininity.” I struggled to consider what it might mean, so I googled it. And you know what came up? Toxic masculinity. (The nerve, right?!) Apparently, now you can google the phrase and this is what I came up with:

Those Who Trespass Against Us: Discussing with Healthy Boundaries in Life

At the time of my writing this, I'd just let my dog outside. The back door is actually two doors: The actual door with a curtain over the glass, and the thinner, outer glass door. On this particular night, I didn't check outside before I opened the inner door. I thought for a moment what I would do if there were a strange man staring at me from the other side of the glass? And then, I thought, “What would I do if [insert the name of a particularly fine man] were standing there?” (Random, I know.) Then it hit me: How many times have we let people into our lives because they were in some way attractive to us - even though they have obviously violated the boundaries we've set in place?

The Prophet & the Diviner’s Fee: The Balaam Spirit

In the prophetic, what you accept is what you become. When you accept a diviner's fee, you will eventually act like a diviner. And this is precisely what happened to Balaam. He allowed greed to sway him from Truth which is a Spirit and even though in the Book of Numbers we see him prophesy accurately by the Spirit of God over the Children of Israel and still preach his words to this day he still died a diviner's death.

Exploring Jezebel's Family Tree: Daughter Witchcraft, Part II

This is Part II of Exploring Jezebel's Family Tree: Witchcraft. If you missed Part I, you can catch it here! To catch the whole series, see here.

All forms of magic and witchcraft, whether socially acceptable or not, whether white or black, whether helping a cop find a missing child or cursing a woman to barrenness are all undoubtedly wicked in the eyes of God and a snare that keeps people from knowing Him and or growing deeper in Him. It will deceive you if you let it, and sometimes, even when you don’t. 

Exploring Jezebel’s Family Tree: Sister Religion

This family tree of Jezebel keeps getting worse and worse with every branch we uncover. First, there was Baal and Asherah whom we discussed in three parts (Part IPart II & Part III). (Asherah a.k.a. the Queen of Heaven even has a holiday in our modern times.) Then we discussed her three personalities: DelilahHerod, and Absalom. Then we started discussing her siblings Perversion and AntiChrist, twin brothers, and in this post, we’ll discuss her final sibling, Religion.

 

Exploring Jezebel’s Family Tree: Brother Perversion

Now that we’ve dealt with Jezebel’s parentsBaal and the Queen of Heaven, and met her three personalities, DelilahHerod, and Absalom, we shall now deal with her two older siblings, starting with Perversion. Perversion is the eldest child born of Baal and Asherah (the Queen of Heaven, also known as Ashtoreth, Astarte, Ishtar, Isis, the Triple/Mother Goddess, etc.). But to understand this spirit, we must first understand his natural expression, Tammuz.

Exploring Jezebel’s Family Tree: Jezebel and Absalom

We’ve met Baal and Asherah (the Queen of Heaven), the “parents” of Jezebel. And we’ve met two of Jezebels’ personalities, Delilah and Herod. And now, we will meet this demonic prince’s third, most closely associated personality: Absalom. When blogging about how I fell prey to Jezebel and even in my last post, I shared with you that Jezebel is not born, she’s made. Looking into the story of Absalom gives us a very good idea of just that. 

Exploring Jezebel’s Family Tree: Jezebel and Delilah

Previously we discussed Jezebel's parents, but now we’ll be discussing Jezebel’s multiple personalities. We know that the spirit of Jezebel is one that utilizes witchcraft--manipulation, intimidation, or domination--to justify her expected end. She does not seek the throne herself, but rather seeks the power behind the throne. Her seductions are tailored to her prey, not merely overtly sexual. And she is dangerous, patient and dangerous. If you want to learn more about this specific spirit--in this form--then you may see here, but in this post we’re going to discuss her lesser known, yet just as strong personalities, starting with Delilah.

Don't Become Who Hurt You

When someone hurts you, that person is responsible for what they did to you. HOWEVER, when you then use that consciously or subconsciously as a reason to hurt someone else, then you become just as guilty as the person who hurt you. They say hurt people hurt people. I'd like to change this statement: 

Hurt people who choose to not forgive and receive healing from God hurt people. 

Witches & Witch Covens...in Church

You may be thinking a lot about witches right now. Hocus Pocus, Harry Potter, and all that jazz. I mean, Halloween is less than a week away.

Some of you may not believe in actual witches. (Even though they really do exist.)

Some of you may not believe in the power actual witches utilize. (Even though it’s very real.)

Some of you may believe that the power actual witches utilize can’t affect you because you’re a child of God. (In which case, you are more than likely very arrogantly, ignorantly wrong.)

And some of you may actually know the truth of these matters.

The Spiritual Warrior’s Guide to Defeating Jezebel [Review]

Defeating Jezebel confirmed some things I already knew, connected some things I had not been previously able to, articulated some things I knew, yet could not express, and yes, taught me things I never knew before about this crafty spirit. I’m convinced most people don’t really understand the depth, layers, levels, intricacy, power, and meditated end of this spirit. Jennifer articulates Defeating Jezebel with wonderful prophetic accuracy and divine revelation.

How I Fell Prey to Jezebel (How to Identify This Spirit in Your Life) Part I

If you’ve read my post, “Jezebel Was My BFF,” then you know that at one point of my life, I was most certainly in the clutches of Jezebel. Actually, more than once. But the situation shared in that post was the most extensive. However, I want to list some characteristics by which you can identify this spirit working. And YES, Jezebel is a sexless (androgynous) spirit that can operate through men and women; she’s open to whoever will host her. (Although men usually take on the Absalom spirit, at the core, it’s the same thing.) But anyhoo, here we go.
