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 I, Part 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: Delilah, Herod, and Absalom. Then we started discussing her siblings Perversion and AntiChrist, twin brothers, and in this post, we’ll discuss her final sibling, Religion.
Hi Friends! It’s been a minute since I’ve written on Jezebel’s Family Tree. First we tackled Jezebel’s parents, Baal and Asherah (the Queen of Heaven) in one, two, and three installments. Then we tackled Jezebel’s multiple personalities: Delilah, Herod, and Absalom. After that, we introduced you to her big brother, Perversion. In this post, we’ll discussing AntiChrist.
This paraphrased statement was made by Dr. Renny McLean some time ago. I believe it is true. No matter how you feel about President Obama, he is our president. And whoever the set man is over our nation, he, his family, and his advisors, need our fervent prayers.
This is the basis of all contracts with Satan, formal or otherwise. “Bow down” and worship him and he’ll give you what you want--and so much more you don’t. And when he’s had his fun amusing himself with you, he’ll take it right back and, bar the grace of God, drag you down to a devil’s Hell for all eternity with him.
I’ve just started reading RePresent Jesus by Dharius Daniels and WOW. I mean, WOW. This book is challenging, NOT for the faint of heart. And it’s certainly got me thinking. The book deals with Christlikeness and each chapter deals with a different virtue. The second chapter, which I’m on, deals with “Jesus and Truth.”
The only thing about Christ’s bloodshed and death that should offend you is the fact that you--just like I--put Him there. Just like Mel Gibson made it a point to hold the nails that were hammered into Christ’s flesh in the film, so we also held the nails and hammered them in. Maybe not literally, but it was our sin that put Him there. Perhaps we are offended at the thought of the Cross because we know we should have been there instead.
Suffering isn’t considered an acceptable word in our Occidental theology; certainly not in American Christianity. But suffering is in the Bible. And as we remember the glorious resurrection of our Saviour, we also remember the cross.
This weekend, we celebrate a momentous occasion: the commencement of Passover as well as the Resurrection. Jews are continuing in their remembrance of the Death Angel passing them over, while Christians remember when Death was conquered! But as we all know, not everyone believes the Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. So what is it, exactly, that sets us apart?
Paid or unpaid, the necessity for a ministry--any ministry--to be bathed in prayer goes without saying. Yet as a ministry grows in members and influence, so do the attacks against it.
Yesterday’s post was inspired by this PHENOMENAL clip of Pastor Dharius Daniels on TBN. Somebody shared it in a Facebook group I belong to and I was so inspired, I had to write about it! The subject: generational curses--in the Church. Let’s dig in!
Last night, I was scrolling through a Christian debate group on I belong to on Facebook when I stumbled across a clip someone shared featuring Pastor Dharius Daniels. I was BLOWN AWAY!!! Generally speaking, I’ve heard and now seen that the man is a BEAST! This clip absolutely proved it. He walks us through the generational “habit” of lying in the family of Abraham reaching the fourth generation, Jacob’s sons (minus Joseph and Benjamin). He mentioned how we so readily focus on generational curses in families, but rarely do we look at this same concept in the context of churches. My Lord! And it’s the truth! Generational curses in the Church are a very real problem, but as Jesus said, the truth shall set you free! Let’s dig in.
Now that we’ve dealt with Jezebel’s parents, Baal and the Queen of Heaven, and met her three personalities, Delilah, Herod, 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.
Two nights ago, I was sitting watching an episode of Bones. I’m aware of the show, but don’t think I’ve ever actually watched it before in all the years it’s been airing. It was time to eat some dinner and there was nothing new on my Hulu queue so I figured why the heck not? Some things we aren’t surprised at anymore. When living in such a world, it’s easy to become desensitized to certain things. But sometimes, we get so shocked we just have to scream! Even though no one’s there to listen. That is what happened when I watched Bones.
Hi Friends! Today, I want to share with you about a wonderful new book project that’s coming out on April 7th: The Next Great Move of God: An Appeal to Heaven for Spiritual Awakening by Jennifer LeClaire. The author of such books as The Making of a Prophet, The Spiritual Warrior’s Guide to Defeating Jezebel, Satan’s Deadly Trio, and many others, Appeal to Heaven is sure to be just as, if not more, impactful to the Body of Christ and particularly, the Body of Christ in America.
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.
Now that we’ve addressed Jezebel’s parents and her first personality, Delilah, let’s discuss her second personality: Herod. If Delilah is Jezebel’s seductive side and Absalom, whom we’ll discuss next time, is Jezebel’s [politically] persuasive side, then Herod is Jezebel’s carnal, murderous side. A dangerous foe indeed. Let’s dig in.
Hello All, HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!! As promised, I'm announcing the book giveaway winner...
In high school, I was a HUGE choir nerd and proud of it! And we were actually pretty darn good back in our day. So good, in fact, that Grammy award-winning composer, Eric Whitacre, was adjudicating one of our performances at the Chapman [University] Music Competition, and when it came time for him to give his remarks, he invited us to be part of his opera chorus--in Berlin, Germany! We went on many such trips, mostly stateside, in California and nearby areas, but on one such trip, my Freshman year, our destination was San Francisco.
I don’t know what it is about March and the advent of St. Patrick’s Day that puts me in the mood to do a giveaway, but hey, who can turn it down? *smile* Perhaps it’s the sun starting to make more of an appearance or it might be the rainy weather that while, annoying at times, can make all the earth green (unless you’re in North Carolina like me and in which case, the cold rain causes warnings of black ice!), or very possibly it’s because I get SUPER DE DUPER excited about St. Patty’s Day every year because it’s the one day in the American calendar dedicated to a fellow Irish (British really) man. (I’m a quarter-Irish through my late paternal grandmother!) But either way, I’m very excited to be offering a book giveaway this holiday!
On this the Feast of Purim, we remember the mighty deliverance of Jehovah against the enemies of Israel in the Medo-Persian Empire during the reign of Ahasuerus/Xerxes I (485–464 b.c.). We remember how Haman, the lead prince (advisor) of the king, schemed because of his hatred of Mordecai the Jew who sat in the king’s gates, to kill not just him, but ALL of the Jewish people throughout the ENTIRE empire. You may read the account here.
