Kick Jezebel to the curb

Rick Warren recently tweeted (yes, I said tweeted) the following “NEVER follow a pastor who belittles others success, doubts others motives, or criticizes others efforts. Rom.14:4“. This really blessed me because out of the three churches I have ever attended in my life … two of them did just that. They belittled others success, doubted others motives and criticized others efforts. If it wasn’t tied to the “their” church then it wasn’t of value or it wasn’t God.

This is nothing more than the spirit of Jezebel showing its face in our churches. Those that allow the spirit of Jezebel to have access their life often discredit (or belittle) those around them. Falls right in line with what I believe is the root of all sin “Pride”. They think that they are better than everyone else although they will never say that directly.

The spirit of Jezebel isn’t just a spirit looking to belittle things it is also a very perverse spirit – sexually. I won’t go down that road today but I have been studying about Jezebel lately and it’s sad to see that it is still in the church today.

I think it’s interesting that there are two Jezebels in the Word of God. One in the Old Testament and one in the New Testament. Both had the very same characteristics. I just think that’s interesting … anyways … I know I personally am always evaluating my life and I have seen even some things that I have done that I personally shouldn’t have done both in action and in word that could be tied to the spirit of Jezebel. It’s time the church does some evaluating. It’s time the church starts acting like the church and stops acting like a religious organization. Let’s kick Jezebel to the curb

Ok … I will stop now … just had to get that off my chest!

UPDATE: This post was not aimed at anyone or any church. It was not meant as an attack at any church. It’s about a spirit that is attacking our churches. A spirit that has to be knocked out.
