I Prayed have prayed
Father God, in Jesus’ name, please pour out Your Spirit of valor on every American. Let Your valor work through us to cast down that foul spirit of Ahab, which gives permission for the Jezebel to operate in our nation. Let us rise up in Your strength and throw Jezebel out the window, that Your righteous rulership may take precedence in America.

Are you tired of seeing perversion and witchcraft exalted in our nation? If so, then this prayer to cast down the spirit of Ahab will resonate with you.

Post a prayer for your state!

 

In 2 Kings 9, we read a striking story. In a nutshell, the story went like this:

  • Elisha the prophet commanded one of his students to anoint a soldier named Jehu as king over Israel. (This was despite the fact that Joram was already king of Israel at that time.)
  • The student obeyed, and Jehu got a fire in his belly as soon as he was anointed king.
  • He went out and drove his chariot furiously to find Joram, king of Israel, and Ahaziah, king of Judah.
  • Jehu and his men then shot both Joram and Ahaziah, killing them with arrows.
  • After that, Jehu drove his chariot to Jezreel where Jezebel was.
  • The wicked queen Jezebel looked out her window and asked Jehu if he came in peace.
  • Jehu, full of a righteous spirit, asked who within his earshot was on his side.
  • A couple of palace eunuchs indicated that they were, and Jehu commanded them to throw Jezebel out the window to the ground.
  • Jehu then trampled her and voracious dogs ate her body. The wicked Jezebel was no more.

During her time, Jezebel had been allowed to perpetuate horrible things upon the nation of Israel. She worshipped the demon principality Baal and caused the nation to do the same. (Jezebel’s name actually indicated her subservience to Baal: Jezebaal.) With the worship of Baal came sexual perversion, witchcraft, and false prophecy, as well as outright worship of Satan himself.

But the problem I would like to point out today is that Jezebel did these things because Ahab allowed it.

Jezebel was not the king; she was only the king’s wife (called the queen, but not carrying the same power as the king). Ahab outranked her. Ahab the king was the ruler of the land. And Ahab knew about the evils Jezebel was perpetuating, sponsoring, and endorsing—but he did nothing to stop it. He did not stand up for what was right. Instead, he was weak. And because he gave Jezebel permission to exert authority where she should not, Ahab got into worse sin himself.

As it says in 1 Kings 21:

But there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the Lord, because Jezebel his wife stirred him up (1 Kings 21:25 NKJV).

And friend, I believe we have a crisis of both the Jezebel spirit and the Ahab spirit in the United States today.

The demon principality we often call “the Jezebel spirit” begins its unholy work by fostering rebellion; then by drawing people deeper into the rebellion of sexual perversion; then, eventually, into the occult and the blatant worship of Satan. And even though every person with common sense should know better, Christians, politicians, and unbelievers alike are allowing these things.

Related: Read more about the foul spirit of Jezebel, including what it is and how it operates, in The Jezebel Spirit Wants to Kill You (Here’s How to Stay Safe).

The spirit of Ahab—that spirit of weakness and permissiveness toward evil—is rampant in the USA today.

And the spirit of Jezebel can only operate because the spirit of Ahab allows it. But, what would happen if we all allowed ourselves to be so filled with God’s Holy Spirit, and with His valor, that we no longer permitted Jezebel to operate?

The word “valor” is defined as “strength of mind or spirit that enables a person to encounter danger with firmness: personal bravery.”

And if that kind of strength and bravery is not a manifestation of God’s Holy Spirit, I don’t know what is! Think of it! What would America look like if we rose up in the strength of the Lord, and in the power of His might, to say NO to witchcraft, sexual perversion, and the worship of Baal? If we did that, then perhaps …

  • Our pulpits would thunder with the truth of God’s Word again, rather than being filled with compromise.
  • Our airwaves would be filled with the sounds of praise, worship, and testimony again … rather than with propaganda and perversion.
  • Our cities, towns, and villages would be places where people gather for holy prayer meetings from house to house; where the fear of the One True God falls on every person … and where the Lord would add to the church daily such as are being saved.

O friend. Will you rise up today and pray for every person in the USA to be filled with God’s Holy Spirit of valor, and for both Jezebel and Ahab to be cast down and destroyed?

Pray something along these lines:

“Father God, we come to You in Jesus’ name. Abba, we thank You for Your mercies, which are new every day. We thank You for bowing low to hear our prayer of petition right now. We praise You, for You are a just and merciful and upright God, in whom there is no compromise nor shadow of turning. Righteousness and justice are the foundations of Your throne, and it for the cause of righteousness that we come to You today.

Heavenly Father, we recall to mind the words of the young David, who was a man after Your own heart. He cried out, “Is there not a cause?” when Goliath the Philistine was soothsaying over the land of Israel.

Well, Father, in these days, Jezebel is soothsaying over our land—which is Your land. The spirit of Jezebel has been perpetuating the enemy’s witchcraft, Satan worship, and false prophecy over our land. And the weakness of Ahab has allowed it to happen.

But together with David, we cry out today that there IS a cause. There is a reason for us to stand up and fight evil, and that reason is Jesus Christ our Savior. Your Word says in Psalm 2 that all nations and even the ends of the earth belong to Jesus as His inheritance and possession. So we cry out today for You to intervene in our nation, that these United States of America may be delivered into the hands of Jesus as His holy inheritance.

Father God, in Jesus’ name, we ask that You would pour out Your Spirit of valor on every person in America. And as You do:

  • Let every person become indignant about injustice and unrighteousness.
  • Let us love righteousness and hate lawlessness and wickedness of every kind.
  • Fill us with that strength of mind and spirit that allows us to encounter, confront, and defeat wickedness.
  • Let us not tolerate the workings of Jezebel any more!
  • Help us to rise up, cast down, and cast out all weakness that allows evil to triumph over what is right and good in Your sight.

Lord God of Heaven and earth, we claim Your promise in Joel 2:28 that You will pour out Your Spirit on all flesh.

“All flesh” includes lost people and saved people; young people and old people; people of every nation, kindred, tribe, language, and people. This means:

  • You can and will pour out Your Spirit even on people who have embraced “woke” ideology and have been espousing wickedness.
  • You will pour out Your Spirit on people who hate You, and You will change their hearts.
  • And You will also pour out Your Spirit on Christians of every variety—even those who have been lukewarm and have not been standing up for what is right.

Father God, in Jesus’ name, we agree together and pray that You would pour out Your Spirit of valor upon all flesh.

Like Jehu, let us rise up in Your Spirit and in the power of Your might to cast down Jezebel in America. Lord, we ask that Your supreme reign would be manifest, tangible, and evident in this nation. Cast down the evil spirits of both Ahab and Jezebel. Dethrone and destroy the worship of Baal and of Satan. Take up Your holy throne over our nation, and let God arise and His enemies be scattered.

Thank You, Abba Father. In Jesus’ most holy and precious name we pray, amen.”

Beloved, it is vital to realize that Jezebel only functions because Ahab allows her to. If Americans were filled with God’s holy zeal and valor from the family house to the church house to the White House, justice and righteousness would be established in America. Let us believe God together and pray for the outpouring of His Spirit of valor on our land.

Father God, we thank You that You are a just God, You care about Your people, and the people who will be Yours as we continue to bring in new people and prodigals into the Family.
So we know You are working on the details in the hearts of Your Intercessors, instructing us how to pray and reminding us of the Authority Jesus gave us to bind and loose on earth as in heaven.
We bind the spirit of ahab who has assisted getting the spirit of jezebel in the world to wreak havoc.
We loose Your Truth into the world.
We bind the ability of the evil forces to blind the spiritual eyes of humanity any more. We loose the eyes of the masses to be able to see and hear and recognize the Truth and recognize what the lies are. We loose courage into the world for standing up for what is good and right.
In Yeshua’s Holy Name.
Yes and Amen!

The marriage between Ahab and Jezebel should never have happened. Jezebel was a pagan and had no desire to convert like Ruth did. Omri (Ahab’s father) should have arranged a marriage with a God fearing woman from the kingdom of Judah. Ahab’s being unequally yoked to a pagan lead to tragedy, suffering or death for everyone involved. They should have learned from the example of King Solomon whose heart was led astray by his pagan wives to the detriment of all of God’s people.

I prayed, ….pour out Your valor on American born again Christians. I added “born again” and also “Christians” because Religious people who aren’t saved are often carnal minded and even against born again Christians because we have the Holy Spirit in those of us who are saved and they don’t. Jesus said, “you must be born again.”

I stand in agreement with this prayer, especially that You would awaken Your preachers across this nation to stand up and call out the evil that is destroying our nation, Father God. Put the fire of Your Word and Holy Spirit in their soul so they will no longer sit silent while our children and our nation is destroyed as the 1930’s German church did.

Neither Ahab or Jezebel are the problem. Baal is the enemy. And Ahab married into a Baal worshipping family.

We are rising up to battle Jezebel and Baal with your holy warring angels and we fight until we have victory in your name. Give us spiritual strength and the ability to accomplish your will. In the name of your precious son, Jesus, Amen

That is really good. We know that the Democratic Party and many in the Republican Party are controlled by the spirit of Jezebel. But some in the Republican Party coward down to the spirit of Arab and that must change. So yes, we come into agreement with Jamie that Holy Spirit would fill us with the spirit of valor because there is a cause in the United States and we will see reformation. It is here.

In Jesus name we proclaim that we will no longer tolerate that spirit of Jezebel.
We renounce and rebuke and bind Jezebel from ourselves, our family, the church, our nation; loosing the outpouring of Holy Spirit empowerment, strength, love, joy and peace. Raise up Your mighty warriors oh Lord and be glorified as we fulfill your divine purpose and eradicate the Jezebel spirit and her influence over ourselves, our families, the church and our nation in Jesus name.
Christ in us the hope of glory. Greater is HE in us than he who is the world. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in Jesus name.

As we pray let us remember the rest of the story of how Jehu completely eradicated Baal worship from th land.
Father as we pray with the authority that was provided by the blood of our savior Jesus we firmly stand against this satanic spirit that is so alive and well in our land today!! 2Kings 10:25-27. May it’s leaders who won’t repent be permanently eradicated from this “your America “. And may we learn from Jehu and not make his mistake of allowing some idol worship to remain. 2Kings 10:29 . This land is YOURS father and we rest not until it is saved and back in your hands !!! AMEN
