Greetings in the blessed name of JESUS
There is a nefarious mindset growing in the world today that the enemy of the True Worshippers is fostering among the "free" nations of the world to prepare them for the bloodiest and most gruesome battle in all of history. The very spirit that operates behind this particular mindset is none other than the familiar spirit of Jezebel. Perhaps you have already heard about her but in case you haven't you can read about Jezebel in the Book of Revelation at the beginning of chapter two. She is also found in both books of the Kings: 1 Kings chapter 21 and 2 Kings chapter 9.
She desires to be her husband's Lord and Master. She has not learned that she can serve her lord only in the LORD. She has forgotten her Lord, or she despises her Lord because her spirit is not found in the LORD. Suffice to be said this spirit does not become a lady in the LORD; but her earthly lord and master (if she has one) should know he can only serve his Lord in the LORD and that he too, can only have one Lord in the LORD: ONLY ONE! It is to her confusion that because she must submit to her earthly husband in the LORD as her "one and only" she thinks her lord must likewise reciprocate to her in the same way. But my God is a jealous God and He says no such thing! Old Oneness pastors are well aware of this Jezebel spirit of Woman Worship but many modern pastors are forgetting due to neo-feminist oppression generated by the spirit of Jezebel.
Don't be deceived. This mindset has been around from the beginning. Some pastors tend to like to think that only a woman who paints her face, wears pants, usurps her husband's authority, and acts lewd, is of the Jezebel spirit. If only the outward appearance (which is easily seen) were the true markings of a Jezebel! She would be easy to spot in any church and to deal with in an appropriate fashion. This is not the always the case. Rebellion against God, like repentance, starts with the heart. The Jezebel spirit is high minded and haughty. It lives for control and desires to pervert the rulership of men over their homes and their households. A well-churched woman who permits a Jezebel spirit to enter into her heart can be as shamefaced as a baby's buttocks. It makes little difference. Jezebel is characteristically portrayed in hollywood fashion as this face-painting, decadent harlot who stomps around alot and despises her husband. While all that might be true, the reality is that the spirit of Jezebel can be considerably more subtle than we might be led to think.
Do not think that I advocate face painting or paganism for anyone. What I am stating here is my concern for those who think that the outward appearance of a person is the only sure indicator of a Jezebel spirit. It is not. The condition of a person's heart is a much better indicator of an evil spirit lurking within; however less visible. The stigma of a woman desiring to rule the roost and usurp a man's authority is as old as the hills and even older. That does not mean that it doesn't exist. Like most of the mindsets occurring in the world today, this one also had its beginnings in the garden of Eden.
Primarily concerning itself with rebellious women of affluence and power throughout history, today it has crafted a devious way to extend itself to women (and even some men) in all stations of earthly existence under the veil of neo-feminism in the form of a matriarchal ideal. Pastors wives are among the most susceptible to it because the enemy knows he's running out of time. If he can take down the pastor's wife he can take down an entire church. What needs to be fully understood here is that True Worshippers know who will be ruling with Christ in the millennium and so does the enemy. So obey them that have the rule over you indeed and keep a watchful eye because this spirit could be coming to a church near you at any time. Please know that It is extremely subtle and can appear to be very godly until it rears its ugly head and sinks its fangs into your neck. You have been warned. I now present to you an example of a Neo-Feminist Jezebel spirit in action under the pretense of a godly Matriarch: HOW SUBTLE IT CAN BE
May God bless you in the holy name of Jesus.

According to Louis Utermeyer in A Treasury of Laughter (Simon & Schuster) "Once when Mark Twain was lecturing in Utah, a Mormon acquaintance argued with him on the subject of polygamy. After a long and rather heated debate, the Mormon finally said, “Can you find for me a single passage of Scripture which forbids polygamy?�?“Certainly,�?replied Twain. “‘No man can serve two masters.�?"
MARK TWAIN was an athiest with an amazing sense of humor. A special note of thanks to Reverend Don Milton, a Baptist Pastor, whom I believe loves the Lord.
