CURSES FOUND IN THE BIBLE
Men may also have Jezebelic tendencies; women - Abab tendencies. The
relationship of Ahab and Jezebel provides an excellent illustration of the
curse brought about by a husband and wife being out of GOD's divine order for
the family.
However, this curse can be traced back all the way to Adam and Eve. It can be
found through the Bible being manifested in different families.
GOD puts the greatest burden of responsibility on the men, not the women. If
the men were not Ahabs and were, in fact, priests and heads of their homes,
then the women would not be Jezebels! The man cannot escape his responsibility
by blaming his problems on the woman.
TESTIMONIES ABOUT AHAB AND JEZEBEL
The Bible provides a lot of stories about families with Ahab / Jezebelic
tendencies. It is very interesting to trace the sins of the ancestors down
through the generations in the Bible. Not only can you see the sins passed down
through the men but also through the women.
AHAB / JEZEBEL
Do you have more than the usual problems in finances, housing, family, etc.?
This may be the curse of improper family structure (Mal. 4:6). If someone does
not stop the pattern of living in the curse, it will go from generation to
generation.
A mother who is a Jezebel will raise Jezebel daughters and Ahab sons. Ahab
fathers will raise Ahab sons and Jezebel daughters. If sons do not see their
father as respected in his office of father, they have no other example to the
contrary and will follow him. Likewise, the girls will probably choose a
husband like their father.
When you have a Jezebel / Ahab marriage, you will have men not committed to
GOD, home or children. These men prefer to play and pretend they are men, and
only deceive themselves. Likewise, the women who have to take over the
financial care and sometimes total responsibility for the children are equally
deceived.
RESULTS OF AHAB / JEZEBEL RELATIONSHIP
1. We set the wrong pattern for our children to follow.
2. The children spend the rest of their adult lives trying to live normal
lives.
3. Husbands are wrongly influenced by their wives.
4. Husbands let the wives do their jobs.
5. Ahab men are weak spiritually and may be evil.
6. Ahab men turn away from their families and GOD to achieve satisfaction in
other things such as wine, women and money.
7. We shift our blame to the other party.
8. The women are placed in a position of priest and head of the home which they
cannot handle.
9. We open our families, churches and nation to demonic attack.
AHAB / JEZEBEL REBELLIOUS INFLUENCE IN THE WORLD
1. Divorce - one parent families.
2. Felinism - pictures bungling father and clever mother.
3. Sex - no restrictions.
4. Young people - confused, rebellious.
5. Drugs - Sex - Music.
6. Society with emotional problems.
7. Effeminate, emotional, weak spiritual and weak physical men.
8. Women's false strength put to test usually fails.
EFFECT ON CHILDREN OF AHAB / JEZEBEL
Children are open to violence or death, even early death, because of tensions,
confusions, hurts and insults given them by the family structure being out of
order (Eze. 38:8-9). Confusion, frustration, disgust, hate, etc. lead to
suicide. In trying to find their place, these children frequently give in to
spirits which drive them to love of power, money, praise, fame, etc. (I Kings
21:20).
Children have fear, insecurity, frustration and difficulty learning. It leads
to potential corruption, discord, growth in occult and cults, selfishness,
doubt, inability to achieve, fake sickness, hypochondriacs and church splits.
Ahab fathers place curses on male children; Jezebel mothers -female children.
Male children tend to become homosexuals; female children - lesbians. Children
will have broken marriages and families like their parents. Jezebel mothers
cause children to be manipulative. Children are full of rebellion and under
pressure to prove their love to their parents. Finally, children are open to
satanic attack and will usually become like their parents!
YOU AND PEOPLE AROUND YOU
Such qualities as these have unnatural power to seduce you, even overwhelm you.
It is not charisma but seduction, and it creates bondage. You may have a friend
whom you at times have a great desire to be free of, and the next moment feel
guilt or condemnation for desiring your freedom. Consider why you are attracted
to your friend.
Look out for mothers and dads who try to dominate married children's lives, and
men and women who cannot delegate authority but try to mind every detail.
Women and men shouldn't try to force mate into a religious experience, but win
him or her by quiet and joyful submission to the Christian life, fulfilling
your role as GOD established it.
CURSE OF AHAB - SCRIPTURE EXPLANATION
Omri was an idol (demon) worshipper and Ahab's father; Omri did worse than all
the kings before him. He set the pattern for his son to follow and Ahab did
evil in the sight of THE LORD above all that were before him, even Omri (I
Kings 16:25, 28 & 30).
He married Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians who worshipped
Baal. So Ahab served and worshipped Baal. Ahab was influenced spiritually by
Jezebel. Baal was the male god; Asherah - female god (I Kings 16:31;18:17-19).
Ahab told Elijah that he, not Ahab, was the one that troubled Israel. Ahab
would not take his responsibility but shifted blame for his problems and those
of his father (I Kings 18:21). He persecuted the prophets (I Kings 18:4, 13 &
19).
Ahab told Jezebel about Elijah killing the prophets of Baal. Jezebel was the
one that took action against Elijah (vowed to kill him), not Ahab. He let her
do his job (I Kings 19:1).
Ahab not only worshipped Baal; he was disobedient to GOD and did not follow
Elijah's prophecies.
He grieved over not getting Naboth's vineyard; he was greedy. Ahab let Jezebel
do his dirty work of stealing the vineyard. Then he did not mind about hearing
of Naboth's death. He sold himself to Satan to work evil (I Kings 21:4. 7, 16,
19-20).
His children were affected by the deeds of Ahab (I Kings 21:21).
He was dominated by his wife to do evil. GOD forgave him when he humbled
himself before GOD (I Kings 21:25 & 29).
He hated the truth and the prophets of GOD. He was willing to imprison and
torture them (I Kings 22:8 & 27).
He was subtle and willing to use Jehoshaphat as a decoy to be attacked.
Ahab's son was Ahaziah; he followed his parents' evil ways. He followed
Baalzebub, the god of Eberon.
Another son of Ahab, Joram, did evil but not like his parents (II Kings 3:1-2).
Jehoram married the daughter of Ahab; he also did evil in THE LORD's sight. He
was crafty like Ahab (II Kings 8:18, II Chron. 18:2). He also persecuted the
prophets (II Kings 9:7 & 22).
The death of Jezebel is foretold and happens as predicted (II Kings 9:10 & 30-
37).
AHAB CHARACTERISTICS
He brought grief and judgement on himself and the nation. He opened the
floodgates for idol worship into the nation and homes. He did not oppose murder
for greed or any other purpose. Once entered into the mind of an Ahab man, he
will accept more and more wanton acts of a depraved nature. There is a loss of
manhood and fatherhood.
Jezebel's aim was accurate in spiritual perspective, but her acts were against
GOD and His plan. So by not opposing Jezebel, Ahab gave consent and is guilty
of being an accessory to the crime.
Satan's evil desires are seen in the evil acts of men (John 8:44). Influence is
what a demon does to you from the outside; control - inside. You have to be
careful what you allow to influence you because demons hope to gain control
later on through that influence.
Ahab broke the Ten Commandments; he coveted the man's field.
Ahab married a woman devoted to everything that GOD hated and forbid. This
opened a breach upon Israel through which Satan gained astonishing power and
flooded Israel with evil. Even so, a man opposed to GOD who submits to his wife
or other women, opens the floodgate for evil to pour upon his family.
AHAB REBELS
The major rebellion was against GOD in Baal worship. He went after other idols.
Worshipping idols is the worst rebellion against GOD.
Ahab exhibited characteristics of confusion, disobedience, resentfulness,
sullenness and greed. He was an accomplice to Jezebel, believed a lying spirit,
refused to believe GOD, and begat rebellious children.
JEZEBEL REBELS
She killed GOD's prophets which is rebellion against GOD. She exhibited hate,
retaliation and threatenings.
She turns from the role of woman and wife to trying to upstage the King, her
husband. She belittled him, connived behind his back, and plotted murder and
control of people. Some women and men today use seemingly pure religious
motives to control others such as prophecy - telling others what to do (soulish
prophecy is charismatic witchcraft).
Another motive behind her rebellion was that she wanted worship and admiration.
Jezebelic actions are true sorcery. Rebellious Jezebelic males / females will
ask questions aimed at causing the other person to doubt their worth, ability,
decisions, etc.
She ended up being thrown out a window, run over by chariots and eaten by dogs.
She probably went to Hell.
ELIJAH DESTROYS BAAL'S PROPHETS (I KINGS 18:17-40)
If you believe that JESUS IS LORD, He said to cast out demons (envoys of Satan)
and He said don't cast them out of the unsaved (Matt. 12:43-45 & I Kings
18:21).
Many times in deliverance sessions, the demons inside someone will cry out for
help. If the demon power is bound in JESUS' name, the demon gets no help. The
name of JESUS answers by actions and the demon leaves. Who is greater: JESUS or
Satan (I Kings 18:24)?
GOD's people should dictate directions and conditions, not Satan (I Kings
18:25).
It is tough on Satan when he is on open display; he does not like talk of
demons. As long as he is hidden, he has power; but shown in the light of GOD,
he limps around (I Kings 18:26).
Satanist cut themselves, eat flesh and drink blood (I Kings 18:28).
The Devil usually will not exhibit himself when GOD's presence is real but will
manifest when people give their will over to his direction. "The devil made me
do it" is always a lie! (I Kings 18:29).
Men may also have Jezebelic tendencies; women - Abab tendencies. The
relationship of Ahab and Jezebel provides an excellent illustration of the
curse brought about by a husband and wife being out of GOD's divine order for
