INFORMATIVE

I enjoy reading the revelations that our Christian leaders put forth in their books and this one was outstanding. The authortakes time to explain what the Jezeleb spirit is and how it works to destroy Christians and churches. It isn't a woman against man thing, it's evil against good. The spirit is one of control and destruction. I felt the writing was Biblically sound and the examples were excellent. A good learning tool for all Christians serious about their walk with God!

Uncovering the Hidden Darkness

The contents of this book reveals the Truth of the Word of God concerning one of the most powerful dark forces that the body of Christ faces today. Because of the nature of exposure to it's characteristics it will fight the Christian believer from accepting what is written here.Only those that are willing to accept the underlying agenda that this spirit carries will be able to accept how God is using this author to relate to the body how to fight this spirit but not be controlled or entangled in bondage by it at the same time. There is a key to fighting warfare and I believe that the author has found displayed, and explained very clearly how God intends to give us the victory over this spirit. Those who criticize and judge the author already have an issue within themself that must be reckoned with in order to help others. We must start with ourself first and then help others. This book is excellent because it gives guidelines and instructions on how to discern when it is present. This was an assignment well done.

A VERY Important Area to Discern and Understand ...

Feminists and other people with a personal agenda will(of course) disagree, but this book is vital for pastorsand Christians everywhere to understand the manipulativeand satan-strongholds that can operate (often, at first,subtly) within local churches. The Jezebel/Ahab principalityis a demon-stronghold that can divide and destroy not onlyministries, but entire local churches! - It is VITAL to knowand understand how it operates. Pastor Francis Frangipane has identified and dealt withthis "Jezebel spirit" in seminars, tapes, and a booklet andbook. John Paul Jackson has an excellent teaching ministryand here (in this book) he exposes the manner in which thisdemonic-activity can lock-into certain personality types(NOT ALL OF WHOM are necessarily female). I have worked many years as a pastor and a missionary on aforeign field. I can definitely testify that the "Jezebel-demonic-spirit and stronghold" is very, very real and HIGHLYmanipulative and (often) destructive within local churches.If one is not aware of the problems and operations of thisspirit, they will almost surely fall prey to it sooner orlater in today's secular and religious world. The "Jezebel-spirit" is a classic "seducing spirit" in thewitchcraft and manipulative sense, not so much in the sexaulor carnal sense. It operates mostly on an UNconscious level:wherein it is absolutely CERTAIN it is doing "God's Will." ! READ THIS BOOK and get very well informed on a MAJOR areaof spiritual warfare and demonic-deception.

Exposing the truth

This book is a must read for every Church worker and Church member of all Christian denominations. It is an eye opening expose of the true enemies of the Church and how they work. Well written, fast moving easy to understand it explains the bad behavior that is so often seen in the Church, what is behind it and why. I have felt the destructive power of the enemy described by this author and was nearly unable to stand under the unexplainable pressure until I read this book.The truth can be liberating.

Calling all Jehus!

You may be up against it....and don't know it. But if you have ever confronted it, you won't forget it. I know of no fouler spirit unleashed against the church today. Yet, little is written about it---a few small pamphlets and a couple of books. Of all those, this is the best, I believe. Some of the good things written these days are in the phamplets, but they're too short to do more than simply observe that the problem exists. Here you will find no mere poking fingers in the clouds or railing against it. Rather, its history, how to identify it, what to do about it, and the dangers of deciding to do nothing about it, are all covered----and all without fanaticism or wildfire---a treasured commodity. WARNING: if you are looking for a book to give ammo for witch-hunting, this isn't it. He warns against this sort of thing, reminding us that those afflicted are hurting people in need of much healing and grace. Be ready to be challenged to walk humbly and with holy hands, as we deal courageously with this spirit. As a pastor, I would that every pastor had a copy. Oh, the things they DON'T tell us in seminary!
