1 Rick Reese Jan 7, 2015 Bases: Personal Walk and Practical Application of the Word and Selected Christian Authors

2 This is MY personal walk into the community (everyone has their personal walk and experience) The WORD of God is our foundation and the Holy Spirit is our Guide. Read through the Bible. You have to BUILD a personal, trusting relationship with our Lord and Savior This is a DAILY walk Everything in the Kingdom of God is accepted by FAITH LOVE conquerors all. Even in all our differences Love your fellow man.

3 To demonstrate by my personal example. How the Lord guides me to: Pray Walk in faith And win battles In Jesus Name 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty. Zechariah 4:6

4 EPHESIANS 1: I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19. and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20. which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realm,

5 EPHESIANS 1: far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23. which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

6 LUKE 10: The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name." 18. He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

7 10. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

8 13. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15. and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

9 17. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. 19. Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20. for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

10 1. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." 3. Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

11 5. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6. nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

12 9. If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the Lord, who is my refuge then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. 11. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12. they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 13. You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 14. "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 15. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

14 Pray for leadership in church, community, and government Lord, let Pastors Mark & Linda have a discerning mind Jesus keep Pastors Mark & Linda holy in every way Lord, shed your love on them and let them know how much they are loved. In Jesus name, I command church hurts, abuses, and ungrateful forces to move. Lord, I stand against the enemies of Pastors Mark & Linda s prayer life Lord, by your Holy Spirit, anoint Pastor Mark & Linda to preach, and bring apostolic results. Let people be cut to the heart and accept Jesus Christ. Amen Pray for missions, community, your family and friends. Luke 18:1 NKJ Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, Build a Relation and Pray for YOUR Leadership

15 Book Review Jezebel Seducing Goddess of War! Jonas Clark Rick Reese Feb 11, 2010 Community Perspectives

16 To identify the Jezebel spirit and to deal with it BEFORE it gains advantage in your life and effectiveness in the community Awareness and insight into the enemies devices To walk through a Word/book study when the Jezebel Spirit surfaces Symptoms and testimonies

17 Jezebel was an actual person. Jezebel, the Biblical character, first appears in First Kings 16, when she marries Ahab, king of Israel. Ahab, King of Israel, was completely subdued and dominated by Jezebel The prophet Elijah laments that only 7000 men in the entire nation were not swayed by her control. Elijah goes on the run because of Jezebel s threats. It makes NO sense. He lost every shred of vision and ran away. Elijah feared more Jezebel that the Lord God.

18 The Spirit of Jezebel is basically a controlling spirit working through the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Jezebel is a warring, contending principality who works out of a spirit of controlling manipulation as she attacks those in true spiritual authority. The Jezebel spirit is born of witchcraft and rebellion. Jezebel will dispatch her servants and spiritual children to attack you with demonic prophetic messages of fear.

19 To gain identity, glory, recognition, power, and satisfy the need for the "praises of men". This is a consequence of the desire for love and self-worth focused on SELF. Secondly the Jezebel spirit seeks to emasculate all men, and divest them of their authority and power over others. It fosters a distrust and hatred, in general. "Jezebel spirit" is in a constant agitation, terribly aggressive, very determined, callous, controlling, selfish, power-hungry, manipulative, unrepentant, deceitful spirit, an overwhelmingly evil spirit, and those are mostly only it's good points!

20 There are two main types of the Jezebel spirit: The high-profile type is generally gregarious, outspoken and highly visible. The low-profile type is soft-spoken, giving the illusion of being solicitous, motherly/fatherly, protective, even appearing very submissive. Relies heavily on manipulation for power, in extremely subtle performances.

21 -Control -Manipulation -Intimidation -Rebellion -Pride -Hate -Unsubmitted (but appears to be submitted) -Liar -Sows discord and seditions -Undermines authority -Religious (appears to be loyal and faithful, but only to accomplish its purpose) -Cannot admit wrong, always someone else's fault -Unrepentant -False humility -Fear -Considers themselves to be important -Uses deception and deceit -Works witchcraft

22 Jezebel is a master manipulator who uses flattering words and smooth saying to seduce you. She knows how to use deep emotional hurts and wounds to manipulate and control individuals as she creates soul ties with them Jezebel can carry and flow well in an atmosphere of fear, insecurity, frustration, and confusion. She likes to birth her own spiritual children as she flows in false spiritual governments.

23

24 Ever feel an intense grieving come upon you? There is a spiritual clash, you are under attack. The Spirit of God, inside of you, is clashing with the spiritual climate around you. Your spirit contends with things unseen. Not ignorant of the devil s devices (2 Cor 2:11) Over coming demonically anointed messages Jezebel will always send a demonic prophetic messenger unto saying something. Sometimes you will have two-jezebel s messenger and the messenger s guard. Be careful to not transfer this message

25 When the Christian leader goes into the community to assume a leadership position you can expect an attack from Jezebel. Demonic forces are so prideful they will make their presence know to the spiritually sensitive. Messages com in many different ways. Demonic spirits will try to intimidate you. It is good to recognize what is contending with you and when you see it get bolder and stronger. Attack back through warfare prayer, in the Spirit.

26

27 When you fee like giving up, press in! Anytime you feel like giving up, you re been hit by a demonic messenger. Anytime you feel like giving up that means you re winning. You been effective, that means you successfully punched something in the spirit! Your prayers are being effective The greater response from Jezebel, the more accurate your prayers. Jezebel will try to take you out of faith. Never bow to the spirit of fear. Jezebel continually need to be reminded that Jesus is Lord!

28 You me want to enter and lead in a territory where Jezebel s influence is very strong. We need to go behind the scenes and see what is affecting the community that we are in. We cannot successfully lead until we learn to resist what has been hindering the people.

29 Jehu was a commander He had a commanding type of anointing He was a man of authority and spiritual ranking He had some depth and strength inside He was anointed with a powerful warring anointing Jehu pursues and defeats Jezebel (2 ki 9:30-37) He commands the eunuchs to throw her off the balcony He was on a divine mission from God and knew exactly what he was called to do.

30 The gospel of Jesus is a war cry against demonic principalities to shake and to destroy their kingdoms. It is with the full strength of the spirit of Jehu that god uses t invade and conquer Jezebel s territory. 2 Ki 9:24

31 Jehu fought with full strength Our prayer life needs to be, full strength Our Praise full strength We war with full strength Jehu was obedient to the Word We cannot conquer Jezebel unless we are obedient We must be a doer and not a hearer only. Otherwise we are in danger of walking in deception. The church is shifting gears in intercession and authority from just dealing with demons that walk the earth to battling the principalities and powers that are influencing entire cities.

32 Prayer Changes things The revelation of our generation is we can fight back in prayer. God changes things! Breaking Intimidation The devil tries to abort the gifts and callings of God through fear and intimidation. Militant intercessory prayer does not compromise with the devil. The decision has already been made. True intercessors draw their spiritual swords and throw away their scabbards. Jehu left none remaining of Jezebel s household. We too must have that fervency inside of us leave none remaining.

33 Jehu fought with full strength Our prayer life needs to be, full strength Our Praise full strength We war with full strength Jehu was obedient to the Word We cannot conquer Jezebel unless we are obedient We must be a doer and not a hearer only. Otherwise we are in danger of walking in deception. The church is shifting gears in intercession and authority from just dealing with demons that walk the earth to battling the principalities and powers that are influencing entire cities.

34 There is a real spiritual battle going on, people are really being affected and there are real weapons formed against us Attempts to get us to tap into anger Release of incredible confusion Sexual fantasy Resentment or embitterment Lengthy Depression Must have true spiritual zeal to conquer Jezebel On fire for God

35

36 First of all, you must have faith to believe that you can conquer Jezebel Spiritual depth inside of you You should notice that there is something wrong with the spiritual climate over you community Apostle of War Spiritual Ranking- Comes out of a dedicated relationship with the Holy Spirit Spiritually contends Militant determination Conquering in the Spirit God is raising up community leader anointed to bind and to pull down strongholds.

37 It takes faith to step out there and pray Attacking hard climates Through prayer the spirit of Jezebel has to humble herself and let go. God say s Humble Yourself and Let GO! That what he say s to us, As Well. AMEN and Amen.
