I Prayed have prayed
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Picture: Tel Megiddo

Pray that God would forbid that we should give Jezebel and Ahab the inheritance of our forefathers. This teaching is an excerpt from a series of devotional email prayer messages compiled by a national coalition of prayer ministries.

“In that day I will respond,” declares the Lord—“I will respond to the skies, and they will respond to the earth; and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, and they will respond to Jezreel. I will plant her for myself in the land;  I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.’ I will say to those called ‘Not my people,’ ‘You are my people’; and they will say, ‘You are my God.’” (Hosea 2:21-23)

We are in such a pivotal time for our nation. The good news is that God is forging a new way forward for us all – a freedom movement! And as long as we do our part, we can see our covenantal destiny secured.

During Passover 2017, I had an extraordinary dream. Washington, D.C. was superimposed on Israel. Jolene, myself, and a group of leaders were commissioned like Joshua and Caleb to scope out the land and possess our inheritance.

My vantage point was Tel Megiddo. Armageddon! The Jezreel Valley was below. Jezreel actually means “God sows.” Not coincidentally, the Jezreel Valley was once swamp land that had to be drained in order for biblical prophecy to be fulfilled that the valley would become a harvest field. Our rallying cry became, “Drain the swamp to secure the harvest!”

In the dream, I could focus on an area and, with telescopic ability, view every detail with precision. I diligently searched for opposing forces. I saw none. The field was clear.

Except, that is, for a clear representation of a Jezebel spirit. I immediately turned to Jolene, pointed at her, and said, “That is witchcraft!”

In retrospect, this dream proved amazingly prophetic. For instance, it conveyed an unusual covenantal alliance between Israel and America. We had no way of knowing that President Trump would soon defy global diplomacy and, for Israel’s 70th anniversary, honor Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

We have also seen how many of the challenges faced by this administration have been sourced by a Jezebel spirit.

The story of Naboth’s vineyard, as chronicled in 1 Kings 21, conveys how Jezebel targets the vineyards of our prophetic destiny. Note that Naboth had a vineyard next to Jezebel’s palace in the Jezreel Valley. The name “Naboth” comes from the same root word as “nabi” or “prophet.” In fact, “Naboth” means “prophetic words.” It was literally the vineyard of prophetic destiny!

And the harvest of prophetic words was incredible. Perhaps this is why the “deep state” leaders of Naboth’s day wanted to overtake his vineyard for their purposes.

Ahab sought to purchase the vineyard from Naboth. When Naboth refused the transaction, Jezebel arose to overthrow him from stewarding this inheritance in three specific ways. Let’s look at them briefly.

First, as the “chief witch of Israel,” Jezebel targeted Naboth with occult power. She invoked demonic forces to target him and take him down.

Second, Jezebel wrote letters and sent them to influential people, portraying him as disqualified from owning the vineyard. In other words she used the media of the day to generate fake news.

Third, Jezebel recruited despicable men to give fake news or false testimony in the court of law. “You have cursed God and king!” they intoned.

And by this, the court was persuaded to render a lethal verdict.

Let’s review. Jezebel used three means of power to take Naboth down. First, by occult targeting. Second, by fake news in the court of public opinion. Third, by fake news in the court of law.

This sounds hauntingly familiar, doesn’t it? In fact it explains the challenges affecting both your world and Washington, D.C. I submit to you we must continue in resolute prayer for our leaders, including President Trump!

When Ahab asked for the vineyard, Naboth’s reply was telling: God forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers! That is what was at stake then, and that is what is at stake even as we approach the November elections. Let’s all gain Naboth’s resolve! Let’s ask the Lord to restrain Jezebel from overtaking the fields of our prophetic destiny.

Let’s remember Naboth’s resolve. God forbid that we should give Jezebel and Ahab the inheritance of our forefathers. No king but Jesus! (Written by Jon and Jolene Hamill for the 40 Day Prayer in Unity devotional)

2nd Chronicles 7:14
Grace & ability to perform the command given:
Septuagint Bible:
When my people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray to Me and seek my Favor, and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins, and heal their land.
• When my people: we Christians need to take responsible, and be accountability for the world conditions, the unsaved can’t see, and can’t really pray. As the church we are the plumb line in the sand, and the moral compass that moves the universe seen and unseen.
• Who are called by My name: if you are recognized by the unsaved, and they call you personally a Christian, then you have passed the first requirement to be ready to move on. An excellent beginning is to fellowship (do not forsake the assembling together), in a “free church”; that is to have Jesus as the head of your church, and not the state as is the outcome of a 501C3 corporation church. God Almighty says my name not “doing business as”, as a free church Jesus can run it. 2,000 years ago the early church had to fight being a Roman corporation, and many died, because of the refusal to be a state corporation.
• Humble themselves: Stop grieving the Holy Spirit. There is a shift here in ability, where you can receive grace to move on to the next command to pray [1 Peter 5:5 God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble]. Your soul at this point has to realize it can’t do anything spiritual except come to the end of itself, give up and cry out to God Almighty; your soul can stop blocking the Spirit from receiving; it can open up to the heart & confess from a connection to the spirit; Ps 34:17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. In other words repent of your personal sins, not someone else’s sins.
• Pray to Me: (Not just pray, but move into the next phase toward Renaissance, pray to God Almighty directly), You can & need to be persistent “ask & keep asking, then progress to seek & keep seeking, and finally knock & keep knocking!” [Ps 34:17 (The righteous) cried, and Jehovah heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.]; you are beginning to stop your suppressing & denial of the truth here. Judging others is also an attempt of the soul to create it’s own justification, and bypass Jesus’ work on the cross, by comparative self righteousness.
• Seek My Favor: Under the new covenant Heb… tells us “Come boldly to the throne of Favor/Grace”. Here you can draw near God Almighty [Ps 37:4 Delight thyself also in Jehovah; and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.]; you can now begin hearing what God Almighty wants you to pray, especially about yourself, and not just what your soul desires to pray; before this you were caught up in soul worship (guilt, shame, condemnation, unworthiness, embarrassment, self pity, self absorbed, pity party, introverted), you were self reliant & unable to repent & turn to God. Instantly turning to God instead of self will bring you to the place of overcoming [past obedience & surrender]. The spirit of fear of relying on God kept you in a different kingdom, instead of completely in the kingdom of light.
• Turn from their evil ways: After seeking God’s Favor you now have drawn close enough to turn from your flesh, the world, & the devil [James 4:7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.], we see being subject to God is the step that allows you the strength to resist the Devil, without the nearness of God Almighty you can’t resist the devil.
• I will hear from heaven: you have now broken through the brass heavens, & your prayers are now being head, & you are actually repenting from your heart/spirit, & not just your soul or mind; your heat is opening up to God & man; your realizing your error; and your not blocking, or distracting from the truth anymore. Now, is the time to: Ps 32:6 pray to You in a time when You may be found.
• Forgive their sins: As you draw near God Almighty, & experience the grace of Jesus offers, you will begin to forgive God & all others you have judged including yourself; now God can remove the tormentors & forgive you, so that you can be sanctified [Matt 18:32-35
32 Then his lord called him unto him, and said to him, you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you sought me:
33 shouldn’t you also have had mercies on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on you?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.].
• Heal their land: at this place what you have now bound on earth is also bound in the heavens, the “prince of the power of the air” is helpless, because as Jesus said, “he has nothing in Me”; the principalities & powers are defeated, along with the world rulers, and God Almighty will begin building His kingdom! The unsaved will now begin feeling the power of God Almighty & healing will be normal, evil will flee the country, because the conviction of God is to strong.
• At this point, God has judged His house, and can begin judgment on the world “1 Peter 4:17
17 For the time (is come) for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if (it begin) first at us, what (shall be) the end of them that obey not the gospel of God? ASV”; God has done what He promised in scripture” Matt 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, 42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. ASV”

Further explanation of my previous comment regarding “Jezebel spirit”. This term is concise as we immediately know what we are dealing with. Most Christians are familiar with Jezebel’s history. What many may not know is the background of who she worshipped. Baal, yes, a prince of Hell. He has a cognate/consort/cohort goddess who goes by many names: Astarte, Ashtoreth,Ishtar, Eostre, and more, this signifies attempt to hide, deception. This is where we get the term “Easter” with accompanying symbols for fertility of eggs and rabbits. This goddess, princess of hell, rules sex, war, fertility and love, eros where we get erotica, not agape or phileo love. Easter should not be used by anyone naming the name of Christ as it has opened the door to evil spirits leading to feminism, abortion and the rebellious spirit seen in protesters. Ishtar is providing Baal with innocent blood to feed that evil prince. A prince and princess are the rulers of principalities (Epesians 6:12). This is the stronghold of the enemy and we must pull down that stronghold and rid our nation of these evil entities and that starts with repentance. No more worship of Ishtar/Easter, do not think you are providing fun for children, you are entrapping them in this wicked, twisted ideology. They want our children, our future and are deceiving many. Come out from under that influence by repenting and making Jesus Lord and Master today!

    Excellent reply and very true! Parents think they’re having fun w their kids coloring eggs and giving chocolate bunnies! I always made white chocolate crosses and lambs (sometimes eggs), and thinking about it now…even jelly beans are shaped like eggs! I REBUKE & REPENT FROM ALL INFERENCES & ACTIVITIES and teaching my children all things Easter! I call that day RESURRECTION SUNDAY instead, because that’s what we’re called to remember and honor!

Heavenly Father, Your Word says, “if My people, called by My Name, will humble themselves, pray, seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land”. We pray for revival. And, as always, revival begins with me, my marriage, family, church, city, state, nation and world! Show each of us where we need to get our hearts right with You, and with others. Let those revival fires spread. Let us love one another, for love covers a multitude of sins. Let us love not just in word, but in deed. We pray this in Jesus Name, for Your honor and glory.

Arise, O Lord! EstablishYour kingdom on this earth even as it is in heaven. Your people cry out to You, O Lord, our God! Establish your righteousness in our government, and weed out the ungodly men and women. Father, we cry out to You. Forgive our sin , for our guilt is ever before You, O Lord. We have sacrificed our unborn children in order to hide our own guilt and sin. We have mercilessly cut off Your gift of life at the altar of our own selfishness. Forgive our sin O Lord. We so desire to see the laws of this land reflect Your righteousness. Lift up godly men and women into high places where they can affect change in America for Your kingdom. Cover the guilt of this land with the precious, powerful blood of Jesus. Cleanse this land, O Lord. Forgive this land and heal this land. Because of Your great Name, heal this land and be glorified on this earth. We ask these things by the power in the name of Jesus and by the power of the blood of Jesus, our Savior, our God and King.

Jezebel is dead, she was eaten by dogs. Please note the writer speaks of a Jezebel spirit, which is accurate, it is a spirit of witchcraft, which Jezebel used, and probably divination as well. She got her power from the heathen gods, Baal and Astarte or Ishtar, these are spiritual entities, principalities and powers, see Ephesians 6:12. Baal is considered a prince of Hell/Hades, second in command, Ishtar his female cohort. These are who we should address, accuracy is important. We do not want Satan/Beelzebub to walk on a technicality and I assure you he will use any means possible in the Court of Heaven, where he accuses the brethren day and night. We have the power and authority to bind and loose (Matthew 16:19 & 12:29). We bind this spirit of witchcraft in the Name of Jesus (every knee shall bow) and loose a spirit of truth, freedom, and justice. We pull down the strongholds of the principalities and render them null & void, loosing ministering, guardian and warring angels into the heavenlies. We must use what Jesus died to give us, we are in the most intense spiritual battle since Jesus went to the cross to purchase our freedom, this is life or death. Pray accordingly.

    I REBUKE & REPENT FROM ALL INFERENCES & ACTIVITIES and teaching my children all things Easter! I call that day RESURRECTION SUNDAY instead, because that’s what we’re called to remember and honor!
    Heavenly Father, You are the One True God; the God of our fathers; Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You are the One True King, the Holy One of Israel and You have chosen us & saved us from hell’s fire by the blood of Your precious son!
    You have given us Your spirit, and the power and authority to step on serpants and scorpions!
    Your word says in Matt 18:18 that we have the power to BIND and LOOSE, and whatever is BOUND on earth is BOUND in heaven, and whatever is LOOSED on Earth is LOOSED in Heaven, so
    I stand with all the brethren to BIND & SEVER every demonic spirit; Jezebel, Ishtar etc and all their agents of death, destruction, rebellion, lust, fornication, greed, pride, control, corruption and deceit from this country, it’s people, Washington DC, all Democratic and other governmental leadership across the country, along with their followers & supporters, the church and all my family members from youngest to oldest (spiritual and physical)!
    I sever the head off those demons from hell and declare all their works to be brought to naught!
    I thank you Father for the spiritual insight You give the brethren that we may call our warring angels to go before us and clear the land of all these giants!
    Your word says that “no weapon formed against us shall
    Prosper” and Satan’s weapons of destruction SHALL NOT PROSPER in this land!
    I decree this land and her people to be washed by the blood of Jesus, delivered from evil and walking down the righteous path!
    Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of the Father!
    I decree the blessings of the Lord (favor, protection, provision, wisdom, humility, courage, peace, love, joy, restoration, justice, & YOUR TRUTH in and upon President Trump, our government leaders, the people of DC and this country, the land and all ofYour children in Israel and all future generations now and forever!
    I decree opened spiritual eyes and ears for all that they may see the blessings of the Lord innthe land of the living, that they may see Your signs and wonders and hear Your still small voice above the noise and give You all the praise, honor and glory In Jesus name! Amen

Abba, You said, Ask and it shall be received. I ask that you send Jezebel and her demons back to Hades where they belong and shower us with your grace and mercy on a daily basis. Bring up Godly men and women in our homes and government who will bring back Your word and teachings back to every aspect of our lives. Let us continue to do Your good works and bless those in need. Protect us from evil and from our enemies. Protect and guide those in office to do Your will, not ours. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

Lord Jesus, continue to move in this very hour, we humbly yet boldly ask, to render Jezebel and her witchcraft powerless in her many manipulations and intimidations working to keep Brett Kavanaugh from becoming a Supreme Court Justice. Have mercy on our nation, on the Kavanaugh’s, and on all who are standing up to support him. Give all of them boldness and courage and skill to face down the enemies efforts. Keep all who are in favor of his nomination safe. Lord, keep witchcraft from postponing this vote. Lord, protect all who are praying about this. We speak blessing to the Kavanaugh family. Lord, arise, and let Your enemies be scattered.

Brothers and Sisters, as I was praying just now, the Lord urged me to implore you to pray over everything you are about to consume, invoking Mark 16:18, that if you drink or eat any deadly thing it will not harm you. Always before meals, ask the Lord to bless and sanctify. The enemy is going to attempt to poison some. Be sober and vigilant. Jesus is Lord!

Father, in the Name of Jesus we bind this spirit of witchcraft and the source which is the goddess entity Astarte, cohort of Baal. We pull down your strongholds in our government and agencies, we expose your evil doings to the Light of Jesus, the Annointed One. We command you to cease and desist in your attack on America and Christians and to return to Hell and take your foul spirits and demons with you, strife, deception,slander and lying spirits. Go! The blood of Jesus washes white as snow! Amen.

Remember, the Lord’s solution to Jezebel was Jehu, the son of Nimshi (1Kings 16). It appears Jehu was an unsettling person to be around from Elijah’s servants interaction with him in his brief meeting. Jehu had a very unpleasant task of eradicating Jezebel and all of Ahab’s family from the land. I believe that the Lord has anointed our President Trump with the same anointing that was on Jehu and that could be one of the very reasons he was placed in office. I pray our President will continue to function in that anointing until the task is completed.

God Almighty, the only reason JEZEBEL exists is because of the corruption in the church. I pray that all pastors that are not called of Jesus be removed and replaced with the real: this is what God Almighty who doesn’t change had declared for His church:
1 Cor 12:28
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, (divers) kinds of tongues.
ASV
and I pray these are real apostles with mighty miracles: 2 Cor 12:12
ly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, by signs and wonders and mighty works.
ASV
I pray this present faithless system in the church come to an end, so Jesus can return for a church without spot or wrinkle:
Luke 18:8
8 I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
ASV

Amazingly clear. Thank you.

Abba Father, I boldly come to Your throne room to petition with praise and singing to ask You to root out the Jezebel and her witchcraft that is holding our country captive, which was given to us by You through our Forefathers.

Expose the lies in the fake news. Generate in us a heartfelt desire to know the truth. Let us reject these liars and may their false kingdom come crashing down as the walls of Jericho did…by your Holy Spirit.

Abba Father, motivate like never before, prayer warriors who earnestly desire to be used by You. Let us call things into being for the glory of our Savior, Yeshua HaMachiah.

Your word says that it’s not by power, nor by might, but by Your Spirit. Holy Spirit, equip those people who are called by Your name to fight these spiritual battles like never before in the history of the world.

By the authority given to me as an heir with King Yeshua, I ask all the above. So be it by the power of the Ruach Hakodesh.
