Robbed to Riches 4

Billy handed me a small envelope with the key I left a his house. He had never come this close to my house before and I was very shocked to see him but I just went with it. He told me that he was going to go and he will pick me up and bring me into Kingston. My aunt, mother and grandmother did see me talking to him so when I went back into the house. My mother asked me who it was and I told her that he was my friend. My grandmother did not ask me anything neither did my aunt. The house was very quiet and it was time for me to go and when I was leaving my mother said,” Yu betta careful.” She sounded concerned but her face was marked with jealousy. On my way to school I did not speak about Billy’s ex-wife and I did not bring it up, that was not my concern I would have to take his word for it but there was tension. He did tell me that he put a bed in the apartment and other things and his brother was going to bring someone to the apartment tomorrow to fix a lock on the door and do other work that needed to be done. When I got to the apartment it did not look like it needed any fixing it had a nice layout: two bathrooms and two bedrooms and it was furnished. It had a washer and dryer, I really did not know how to use anything like that but I was hoping that the manual would be there. I told him thank you. The manual was not there and I asked him if he knew how to use the machine and he said he had no idea.

Billy stayed for a long time and then he left because he said that he had to get up early in the morning. It felt strange but I could get used to it. I did not go to bed when he left I was still looking around because I wanted to get familiar with the place. When I finally went to bed it was about 3:00 am but I got a good sleep and got up about 7:00 am. Shortly after I came out of the bathroom I got a phone call from Billy asking me how I liked the place. He then told me that his brother was not able to come so his brothers wife would come instead. Around 10:30 am I heard a knock at the door but I guess I was not quick enough because the person open the door and walked right in. This had to be his brothers wife she came with two men. She had on a white shirt and a black pants, her jewellery was not tacky looking she had on her wedding ring a tennis bracelet, a Tag heuer watch and a pair of Ray Ban sun glasses. Her complexion was light and she had dark brown curly hair she was not skinny her body was a decent size but she was not fat. I thought to myself she was a typical “red naiga”. Once she was inside she introduced herself as Julie Keane with a fake smile on her face. I told her my name and she said she was going to have the men look at what needed to be done. She told one of the men to put two dead bolts on the door and then she said that she was going to remove the stove. Then she asked me, “Who are you ?” I said, “Susanna!” She just looked at me and then she asked me if I ran and I told her no. “You have nice legs.”she said, I responded with a surprise “Thank you!” and she left. Her tone was very authoritative and she sounded like she was trying her best to be humble. At this point I did not care what anyone thought of me as long as Billy loved me everybody else was insignificant. I decided to take a little walk around the place and well it was very interesting the first step I took outside I saw a popular entertainer with a girl who had a very white face. Anyway it looked like it was an upscale complex regardless. As soon as I got inside Billy called me it was like the wife situation never happened. He said that he was not able to see me today but he laughed and said my boyfriend Carl was going to arrive at the apartment about 1:00 pm. Carl brought me to the grocery store and I asked him if he wanted anything for himself and he told me no. But I asked again because I remember him telling me that he had a four year old. I bought biscuits and things that little children would eat and gave it to him anyway. I knew he was doing his job but he was very patient and kind. After leaving the grocery store he said to me that his baby mother was pregnant but she was not doing so well with the pregnancy. We continued to the apartment and he asked me if I could drive. I told him I could not drive he said that it was good to learn because I would move around easier. Carl did not say it in a bad way , I understood exactly what he was saying. He also said to me that Billy and his brother “likkle Paul” were “big car racers” and they would race at a farm they had in St. Mary twice a year. When I got home I had an envelope that Carl had given me it did not feel like it was cheque because it was hard and about the length of a business card. When I opened it, it was a bank card and it had four numbers written on a piece of paper.

I felt obligated to my room mate although I told her that I might not be coming back I paid the rent for the next two months. Hopefully, she would find someone else to take over in the third month. I did not want anyone living with me because I liked my privacy so I did not offer. Learning to drive was a priority so I decided to find the perfect instructor, I contacted a man who told me the cost and what was involved. I was ready an told him that I was available the next day. Looking back now the teacher was very good and thorough and he made me know the basics of driving. I took three sets of classes with him and in my sixth week I had it. Although Billy would visit me often I did not tell him what I was doing. When I went to do my test the first time I failed and I was disappointed but I knew I had to do it again. I did it again and I failed and I tried again and passed. I was so excited and I knew Carl would pick me up the day after and I could not wait to tell him. As usual Carl waited patiently when I went outside he told me that he came to the door because he got a new van and I would not recognized it. When we got on the road leading to ferry he stopped and bought coconut water. I told him that I got my license and he said “Wah ! Miss a you haffi go drive di res a di way enuh.“ I said to him “’Mi fraid!“ and he laughed and said,“ Everyting good man.“ I drove all the way home with the Carl`s help just as I was going to stop the vehicle my mother was walking in she walked as if she did not see me. My mother was a complicated individual and well I just let her be. When I went inside my mother was the only one home I told her good evening and she mumbled and said yes mam. She was not very welcoming so I decided to leave and return when my aunt was back. I decided to visit Patrice. Patrice just had her baby and I went to see her. The baby was a healthy girl and she asked me if I could be the Godmother and I was excited. I knew it must have been difficult for her not having emotional support from the father. As usual I update Patrice on Billy and told her that I had got an apartment and she could come an visit. Although I gave Patrice money I wanted her to do something for herself I knew that she would do good at cosmetology. I did not go right out and say that I would pay but I did say to her “What you want to do now, Patrice?” she responded “I have to go and find a work now because mi haffi move, a bear dutty di oman a gi mi in yah.” I said “But Patrice the baby still young and to how you stay yu haffi go work fi yu self, and it a go hard fi yu go work fi nutten who a go stay wid di baby?” Patrice looked puzzled and like a heavy brick came down on her. I said to her “Look mi a go help yu but yu haffi help yu self, wen di baby old enough maybe yu can go back go do cosmetology and mi and yu go in a business.” She smiled and said,”Yu know seh a dat mi wah do, but mi nuh know how mi woulda do it, but mi a go do dat. Thank yu fi do money Sue mi wah yu talk to mommy fi mi please.” Before I left I told her that I would speak with her mother and not to worry.

Billy called me and invited me out in the evening and I was excited because I did not know where he would be taking me. That evening Billy was the one who picked me up. It was the first time we would really drive alone after what happened without tension. I had forgotten about the wife or should I say ex-wife We were both so happy that we smiled all the way he asked me where I wanted to go and I told him that I would prefer to go to his house and that we did. When we got in the house the energy was no different I have never danced with anyone the way I danced with Billy. He told me that we would dance and that it was good exercise I even danced to music that was not of my time. Billy had a large music collection and that night the last song I danced to was “I am going to make you love me” by the Temptations and Diana Ross. With that he took me by my hand and took me upstairs. I am sure that a lot of woman wanted him but they were never approached. It was too late now because he was taken. I knew from then women held a certain power. I started to own my confidence and mystery as a woman. As a woman I would be able to get anything I needed from any man I was interested in. This was something my mother never told me. Every time I would go out with Billy I would not have the complexion of majority of the woman there but I was the happiest, all the other girls seem sad and puppet like. The truth is that even though his riches and power made me attracted to him. Love would make me stay with him.

In the World – But Not of the World
any of you have heard from your pastors the title of this article in that we are to be in the world, but not of the world in our walk with the Lord. Not only is this a very catchy phrase and saying, but this is also a rock solid God-truth that is coming straight out of our Bible.
Many Christians get a bit confused when they first hear this phrase and revelation. The first question they usually have is if God is calling me to do something worthwhile and noble in my call and purpose for Him down here on this earth, then why is God telling me not to become a part “of” this world? How can I complete my divine call in the Lord if I do not get actively involved in the world and with other people in general?
Jesus Himself went full scale into His surroundings once He received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and then came out of the 40 day wilderness test with the devil. From there, He embarked on a major three and a half year miracle ministry before He went to the cross to die for all of us and our sins.
During those three and half years, Jesus was constantly preaching, teaching, healing and delivering people. At first glance, it looked and appeared as if He had become an actual part of the world with how much interaction that was going on between Him and everyone else that was around Him. But as you will see in the explanations below, God the Father does want us to become actively involved “in” the world so that we can fully accomplish His perfect will for our lives.
Another problem that some Christians have with this phrase is that they misinterpret what God is trying to tell them when He is making the statement that we are not to be “of” the world. They think they should be retreating from life and everyone in general, and some of them end up becoming monks, hermits and recluses hiding away from as much of the world as they possibly can.
I know God may call a very small percentage of His people into that type of special celibate and monastic type lifestyle, but for the most part, I believe God wants His people to become very active “in” the world trying to make it a much better place to live, work and play in. How can you witness, save, teach, preach and help deliver other people if you are not “in” the world trying to reach and connect with them in the first place?
I believe this particular revelation from the Lord has two sides to it. It is like looking at a two sided coin.
On the one side of the coin we are to be “in” the world. As you will see in one of the Scripture verses below, Jesus is telling His Father not to take us out of the world, since we all have a great commission and great call from Him to try and save and help as many people as we possibly can.
We cannot “reach” the lost, the downtrodden, the helpless, the poor, the sinners, and the people who are being held in some type of captivity if we are not “in” the world trying to reach them with the message and gospel of our Lord and Savior.
This is what is meant by the Lord telling us that we still have to continue to be living “in” this world. We all have to be born into this world as a result of the curse of Adam and Eve, and until it is our time to leave and depart from this life, God will expect each and everyone of us to come and work for Him.
Once you enter into a full surrender with the Lord of you and your entire life, then God will place you into His perfect will for your life. And once God places you into His perfect will for your life, then He will lead you into the divine plan and destiny that He has set up for your life. And in that divine destiny will be your call, your missions, your divine assignments, and the specific people that He will want you to work with.
Again, you cannot properly compete your call, your divine assignments, and your tasks and duties for the Lord if you are not willing to get actively involved “in” the world to some degree and to some extent. This is the one side of the coin where we are supposed to be “in” the world.
However, this revelation from the Lord also has a flip side to it. There is a flip side to this same coin. Though we are to be actively involved “in” the world to the degree that God will lead us to, we also have to realize and be very aware that we are not to become too much of an actual part “of” the world.
As you will see in one of the verses below, God is telling us to keep ourselves “unspotted” from the world. In other words, He does not want us to become spotted, contaminated, and tainted by the bad and evil things of this world. And the only way that we can keep ourselves from becoming too spotted and too contaminated from this world is not to get too deep and too friendly with the ways of this world.
In other words, God is asking all of us to walk a very fine line between being actively and properly involved “in” the world so we can reach and help other people – but at the same time making sure that we do not fall too deep and too far into the world where we then start to fall into the actual evil, depravity, and corruptness of this world.
The best analogy I can give you on this so that you can fully understand what the Lord is trying to convey to us is the “fence analogy.”
Imagine a fence line running alongside your right side as you continue to walk on the straight and narrow path that God has you set up to walk on. The phrase and saying that will come off of this fence line analogy that perfectly lines up with what the Lord is trying to tell us in this revelation is that we all should be “staying on our side of the fence.”
On your side of the fence is the divine path that you are taking for the Lord. On this side of the fence are all the righteous ways of our Lord on how we are to act and behave in this life with ourselves and with other people in general.
On the other side of the fence are the walks and paths taken by those who are either not saved, or the ones who are considered to be very carnal and fleshly type Christians, whose only goals and desires in this life is to get as much out of this life while they still can. Their only goals and aspirations in this life is to try and gain as much of the material and lustful things out of this life as they possibly can before their day in the sun is finally over.
We thus live in a dual type of world. On the one side of the fence is the side of God and the righteous way that He wants us to live this life in. On the other side of the fence are the unsaved sinners and carnal Christians who are not living their life God’s way, and who are out breaking any law and commandment they see fit so they can satisfy their cravings for the lustful pursuits and things of this life.
Once you become saved and born again by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you are now in whole different ballgame. You are now on a whole different type of playing field. God the Father perfectly lays it out for each and everyone of us in the way that He has worded the following verse I will now give you.
In this verse, God is giving every single one of us a big choice to make in this life. We can either choose to follow God and His ways for living in this life and “live” – or we can choose to follow the wicked and evil ways of this world and “die.” Here is one whopper, all-or-nothing, black and white, straight-to-the-point verse direct from the mouth of the Lord Himself:
“… I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days …” (Deuteronomy 30:19)
Notice God says absolutely nothing about any type of middle or neutral grounds with this proclamation. Either we choose to follow God and live this life in the way that He wants us to live it – or we can choose to follow the ways of this world and eventually bring down death and cursing upon us and possibly those who may be close to us.
Notice in this verse that God is telling us that we must “obey His voice,” which means that we have to follow directly after Him and all of His ways for us in this life, not after the ways of this world or anyone else in this world.
Now here are 5 very good verses from the Bible that is giving us this specific revelation in that we are to be in the world, but not of the world.
THE SCRIPTURE VERSES

I will first list each one of the verses one right after the other, and then I will point out and highlight several key words and phrases in these verses.
“If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” (John 15:19)

“I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” (John 17:14)

“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:27)

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” (1 John 2:15)

“Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” (James 4:4)
Notice in the first two verses that Jesus is specifically telling us that we are not to be “of the world.” He then goes one step further in the third verse from James when He tells us that He wants us to remain “unspotted” from the world.
Jesus then perfectly wraps it up in the last two verses when He tells us that if we ever get to the point where we have become too friendly with the world and the ways of it – then we will literally become the enemy of God Almighty Himself!
When Jesus Himself is telling us that we will become His Father’s enemy if we become too friendly and too attached to the ways and things of this world – you know we are dealing with a very serious warning from the Lord on this issue!
Jesus points out to us that all of the lustful pursuits and things of this life will eventually pass way when we die and cross over. In another verse, Jesus has already told us that what good will it do a man to gain all the wealth of this world as his possessions, but then lose his own soul in the pursuit and acquirement of all of that wealth. It will all have ended up being for naught when everything is all finally said and done.
CONCLUSION

Though most of us know exactly what the Lord is trying to tell us with the revelation and knowledge that is in these verses, for many Christians in this day and age, this one is a real hard one to try and keep on top of.
With the incredible advances in technology and knowledge in the last 100 years, much of the world has become a much better place to live, work and play in. As a result of all of this incredible advancement in technology and knowledge, we now have many more toys and material possessions that we can all strive to acquire more of. We can now shoot for bigger and better houses, bigger and better cars, and bigger and better material things for our lives in general.
With all of these types of material blessings from our Lord, it becomes very easy for many to get out of balance with all of it. Instead of realizing where all of this abundant type of wealth is really coming from in the first place, and choosing to say humble and accountable with it in their walks with the Lord, many Christians start to get too caught up in the actual pursuit and desire for this material wealth.
Before they know it, they have placed their pursuit and desire for all of this material wealth before God Himself. The are no longer wanting to serve and follow God. They now only want to serve themselves and what they can get out of this life

Jezebel

I was used and abused
I still have open wounds
No mother to nurse me
My heart is full my tongue is dreadful
Seeking attention, all Friends secrets I will mention
I relish in animosity, I hate prosperity
Quickly I become your worst enemy
Easily I am taken over by jealousy
Lies are the truth, I am scarred
No female is worthy to be loved better than me

I repeat things I was not told
My lips are cold
My name is deceit
I am not discreet
I embrace the serpent
I would rather revenge than repent

The Jezebel Spirit and How it Operates
without question, the nastiest, evil, most disgusting, cunning, and seductive spirit in Satan’s hierarchy has to be what many call the Jezebel spirit.
This evil spirit has been responsible for not only tearing down churches, pastors, and different Christian ministries, but it has also been responsible for breaking up many marriages, friendships, companies, along with getting many people to commit cold-blooded murders and suicides.
For those of you who have been hit and slimed by this evil spirit, or have encountered it in some way, you will know exactly what I am going to talk about in this article. It is without question, one of the most evil and vile things I have ever come across in my life. Like Satan, this type of spirit is simply pure evil.
Over the last 20 years or so, I have encountered this spirit myself at least 5 different times, with it being attached to a specific person each time I had encountered it. As a result of meeting this spirit head on a good five times, I have developed quite a bit of information and knowledge on how this spirit works and operates.
I believe the Lord allowed me to have access to these 5 people when I did so I could end up writing an article like this one so I could teach people how to spot one if they ever had one come into their midst, whether it be at home within their family, in the middle of a church or ministry, or even at their place of work.
WHAT IS A JEZEBEL SPIRIT?

What is the Jezebel spirit? The Jezebel spirit is not just one spirit like Satan is. This is a “type” of evil spirit in Satan’s kingdom. There is only one devil, one Satan, but there are many spirits that would be considered a Jezebel type spirit, as they all have a particular type of personality and a specific way in which they like to operate.
The reason many deliverance ministers have used the term, “Jezebel spirit,” is because of the nature of its personality and the way it operates once it sets up shop within someone. The word “Jezebel” is coming from the OT story of Queen Jezebel back in the days of Elijah. She was a ruling queen back at that time and she had cold-bloodedly killed many of God’s prophets back at the time she was ruling.
As we explained to you in our article titled, “The Different Kinds of Demonic Spirits,” demons have two different names. They have their created name given to them by God when they were created, and they also have a function name, which will tell you what kind of spirit you are dealing with.
For example, some of the function names of demons would be spirits of lust, spirits of anger, spirits of murder, etc. The function name of the demon will tell you the nature of their personality and what they like to specialize in once they move in and attach to a person. A spirit of anger will try to get a person to act out in fits of rage and anger. A spirit of murder will try and get someone to commit cold-blooded murder. A spirit of lust will try to get a person to commit fornication and/or adultery.
However, when you come across a Jezebel spirit, it is something quite different. Some people have called this a “master” type spirit. Not that it is a master spirit in the sense of being like God, but that it is much more intelligent and cunning than a lot of the other demons are. Many believe that this type of spirit may be Satan’s smartest and most cunning and evil spirit he has, and he thus dispatches this kind of spirit on specific targets so he can get the most bang for his buck.
Simply put, a Jezebel spirit is one of Satan’s higher-ranking, more intelligent demons if not the smartest kind of demon he has in his kingdom. And with it being much more intelligent than many of the other lower-ranking demons will be, this makes this type of spirit much more evil, cunning and harder to deal with once it moves in and attaches to a person.
And with this kind of evil spirit being much more cunning, intelligent, and evil than some of the other lower-ranking demons will be, it will cause a lot more trouble and destruction if it is not quickly dealt with and cast out.
Looking back over my 5 encounters I have had with this spirit, the one thing I have noticed are two specific things:
One, this spirit operates in basically the same way every time it moves in on someone. As a result, it is actually easy to spot after a certain length of time. In other words, it keeps playing the same type of games every time it moves in on a person or a situation.
The second thing I noticed is that this spirit is much more intelligent, cunning, and seductive than many of the other types of demons will be. It will thus be capable of playing more than one type of game with you.
For example, a spirit of anger will only try to make you mad and angry, but a Jezebel spirt will play a number of different games with you as I will show you below when I start to describe the way it will operate and the different kinds of games it will use to try and bring you down.
As a result of this type of spirit being capable of playing more than one kind of game with you, this makes this kind of spirit much more deadly and destructive. If this spirit is not properly exposed and dealt with within a reasonable length of time, it can totally destroy and completely bring down a marriage, church, ministry, company, or an individual’s life.
The Bible tells us in Matthew 12:43 that there are levels of wickedness in Satan’s kingdom. And if there are levels of wickedness in his kingdom where some demons are actually more evil than some of the other ones will be, then I believe there may different levels of intelligence among the demons as well.
The Jezebel spirit, since it is much more intelligent than some of the lower ranking demons will be, is very good at playing head games with people. It is a total control freak, and it is also very good at manipulation and getting people to do its evil bidding.
Over the years, I have developed quite a bit of information on this type of evil spirit and how it operates, and I now want to share it with all of you so you will be able to spot one if it ever moves into your circle of influence – whether it be in your marriage, in your church, at your place of employment, or in between any of your personal friendships, as this evil spirit loves to break up good and godly relationships.
THE WAYS IN WHICH THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT WILL OPERATE

Here are 11 specific things I have isolated on this spirit once it moves in on someone to set up shop. Again, this type of spirit likes to play the same kind of games every time it moves in and attaches to someone.
The Evil Personality Traits of the Jezebel Spirit
The Spider Web Analogy
There Will Be a Charismatic Type Energy on the Host
Likes To Attach to Sharp, Intelligent, and Attractive People When It Can
Will Always Seek to be the Center of Attention
Will Seek to Infiltrate, Attack, and Undermine Everything
Will Go After Anyone in a Leadership Position
Runs in Tandem With a Mocking Spirit
Especially Hates Prophets, Prayer, and Spiritual Warfare
Will Occasionally Expose Itself on a Photo
The Host Usually Will Not Know They Have This Kind of Spirit in Them
Now I will briefly discuss each one of these so you can see how this type of spirit will attempt to move against you and bring you and everything you are connected to completely down.
1. The Evil Personality Traits of the Jezebel Spirit

I want to start this off with the actual traits of this evil spirit, so you can have all of this information right at the top of this section. Below is a list of the personality traits of this kind of evil spirit.
The Jezebel spirit will try to infect and contaminate the person it is in so they too will operate with these same kinds of evil traits. It has always amazed me over the years that this kind of spirit can get very smart and intelligent people to do its evil bidding so easily.
Some of these people will say and do some of the most horrible things, but yet find some way to rationalize it and think they are perfectly justified in doing what they are doing. This spirit will play some of these people like fiddles, like a puppet on a string, with the puppet master being the Jezebel spirit itself.
Here are some of the evil personality traits to look for with a person who has been operating under this spirit’s evil influence for quite some time.
Pure Evil and Hate
Vile
Maximum Pride
Highly Lustful and Seductive
Highly Self-Centered and Narcissistic
Will Always Seek To Be the Center of Attention
Very Judgmental, Critical, Condescending, and Demeaning
Overly Demanding and Manipulating
Cold, Ruthless, Cunning and Calculating
Very Combative and Confrontational
Very Good at Lying and Cheating
Cannot Stand Any Type of Constructive Criticism
Hates All Prophets, Prayer and Anything to Do With Spiritual Warfare
Will Be Capable of Giving False Prophecies, Visions and Dreams
This spirit operates with maximum pride in it. As a result, it will try to infect the host with that same kind of pride. And once it does, the host will no longer be able to accept any type of constructive criticism from anyone. The host will seek its own throne and they will now have to be the total center of attention. Everything will now be about them and them alone.
They also will no longer be able to bond with anyone because they are now totally self-sufficient in their own blown-up egos. The only true friends they will have are the people who will get duped into falling into their web of deceit and lies, where they will now become their mindless followers. These people will have all of their true friends leave them because no one wants to be around this kind of evil spirit and around these kinds of negative, evil, and destructive personality traits.
And then sooner or later it happens, this person completely fails and falls, as well as losing anything that is close to them. And this was all due to them allowing this kind of evil spirit to get on the inside of them in the first place, and from there, blindly follow this evil spirit’s leadings to do what it wanted them to do.
I have seen this spirit literally play some people right over the edge of a cliff where they ended up losing everything. And this was all because they were too blind and too ignorant to see what was really going on behind the scenes in the spiritual realm.
This kind of spirit is a master at setting up train wrecks and then orchestrating for them to actually occur with individual people, ministries, churches, and companies. This is why every single Christian church should be teaching their people the basics of true spiritual warfare in the Lord so they will have the knowledge on how to combat these kinds of evil spirits.
Again, the Lord has already given us fair warning when He tells us in His Word that without His knowledge, that His people will go into captivity and perish.
2. The Spider Web Analogy

When someone is walking with this kind of evil spirit deeply entrenched in them, they will initially move and operate on what I call the spider web analogy. Just like a spider creates a web so it can trap its prey so it can then devour them, the Jezebel spirit will start out in the exact same way once it moves into a certain environment to try and work.
These people are very good at playing the good cop-bad cop game. They will always start out playing the good cop. These people will initially seem to have their act all together. They will know how to talk the talk. They will know Scripture well enough so they can impress every one with their high level of spiritual development.
They will know how to smooth talk people and use false flattery to gain favor so they can then start to work to get their claws worked into them. And before you know it, you will be caught in their web. And then once they have you comfortably caught in their web through false flattery and deceit, they will then start to attack you and try to tear you to pieces.
3. There Will Be a Charismatic Type Energy on the Host

Another thing that helps these people lure unsuspecting people into their webs is the amount of charismatic energy they are carrying on them. When you initially meet these kind of people, you will feel a certain type of energy coming off of them and you will initially feel very drawn to them. You will feel like a moth being drawn towards an open flame. This charismatic type energy on them will have a drawing power to it.
You initially may think it is the presence of the Holy Spirit on them because they will be so good at sounding like they are very spiritual and that they are walking very close to God.
I remember when I first started to see this type of drawing power on these people, I found myself being amazed that an evil spirit could emit this kind of energy off of a person. You would think if an evil spirit was attached to someone, that you would be initially totally repulsed and repelled by it. You would not think demons could have this kind of seductive, drawing power within their evil natures and then be able to project it through their host. But some of these evil spirits do, and the Jezebel spirit has this kind of seductive, drawing power within itself, and from there, it will project this drawing power through the person it is living in.
This is why this spirit has been so successful over the years in bringing down individuals, churches, marriages and good friendships – all because it has the ability to draw people into their well spun webs, and then before the person knows it or realizes what they have been caught up in, it then moves in for the attack to either kill that person, or try and completely take the person out of commission on whatever their calling is in the Lord.
And this will now take us right into the next caption.
4. Likes To Attach to Sharp, Intelligent, and Attractive People When It Can

As a result of having a very seductive and high energy in its evil nature, the Jezebel spirit likes to attach to sharp, intelligent, and attractive people when it can. Not that it won’t attempt to attach to a less attractive person, but it will make much more headway with want it wants to accomplish if it can find a physically attractive person as will be explained below. On the 5 cases I have seen, 4 of them were women, and the other was a man. And in each case, each of these people were sharp, intelligent and very attractive.
I believe the reason this spirit likes to target these kinds of people is because it wants total control of everything. It wants to be just like Queen Jezebel. It wants the throne for herself and it does not want to share it with anyone else. As a result, they look for personalities that can help them climb to the top of the heap in whatever environment they are trying to work in.
In a marriage, if the woman is the one with this spirit, she will try and usurp her husband’s authority as the head of the household and will try to totally replace him as the spiritual head of the household.
If this spirit is working in the middle of a prayer group, it will try and work its way to the top so it can be the new leader of the prayer group. If this spirit is working within the church itself, it will try and work its way to the top to be the right hand man of the pastor, and from there, start to directly attack him so she can completely take him out and knock him right out of his call for the Lord.
You saw what Delilah did with Samson. I believe there was a good possibility that Delilah may have had this kind of spirit operating on her. And through her very seductive charms and allure, she completely brought down the man with probably the greatest physical strength anointing anyone has ever had with the Lord. And she did it with pure, evil seduction.
This is why this kind of spirit is so deadly, because it knows how to use seduction, especially a sexual kind of seduction, to gets its way and then to eventually bring down the person or ministry they have targeted.
As we all know, many men are easily lured into illicit affairs by pretty women. Many have used the expression that some women know how to get a man wrapped around their little fingers. I am sure most you have seen this phenomena occur over and over again. Sex is a very powerful weapon, and this kind of demon always will try and use whenever it can. This is why it likes to attach to attractive people whenever it can, because it knows it can use that person’s physical attractiveness to draw people into its web.
You think we would all learn our lessons from the past with so many people being brought down by this kind of seductive game, as this same game has been played over and over throughout the centuries by these types of demons. But many people never learn from the past, and just as many people now fall for this same kind of game as they did years ago.
When you combine the power that this spirit has to emit a seductive, charismatic type energy off of a person, and then they attach to a person who is naturally attractive, sharp and intelligent, you then have a very deadly combination that this spirit can work with to achieve its ultimate goal – and that goal is to get total control so it can then work to take down and completely destroy either a person, marriage, church, ministry, friendship, company, or a government.
5. Will Always Seek to be the Center of Attention

Once this spirit has gotten a foothold into the environment it now wants to work in, the next thing it will do after it has lured you into its web by playing the good cop, is to then start to always be the center of attention. And this is where you can really start to pick up and spot this spirit in actual operation.
We all have a natural need and desire for a certain amount of love and attention. We all need proper encouragement and attention, not only from our parents as we are being raised up, but also from all of our friends and loved ones as we become adults, as we all help each other in keeping up our levels of self-confidence and self-esteem.
However, when a person has this type of spirit operating through them, their need for attention and glory will be way off what would be considered normal. And this is when this spirit starts to get itself exposed to those around it. But it does not really care at this point. It will do everything it can to get the host to always seek to be the center of attention, with the ultimate goal in mind being to get to the top of the heap in whatever environment it is working in.
Since these type of people usually have that charismatic type energy flowing and operating through them from this kind of evil spirit, they initially will be very good at working themselves up the ladder in the environment they are working in. With this kind of demonic energy operating through them, combined with their natural good looks and high degree of intelligence, these people will sometimes be able to easily talk and play their way right up up the ladder.
And then once they have worked themselves up to where they need to be, this spirit will then start to viciously attack and operate with both barrels blazing. And this will now take us right into the next caption, which will take us right into the real heart of how this spirit will attack and completely undermine everything in its path.
6. Will Seek to Infiltrate, Attack, and Undermine Everything

This evil spirit simply has a two fold mission:
Seek to infiltrate and once in
Seek to attack, undermine and destroy everything in its path, taking absolutely no prisoners. It’s goal is total death and destruction. Plain and simple.
If you are dating a person with this kind of evil spirit on them, they will try and get you to marry them. And until you do, it will be playing good cop with you the whole time so it can continue to lure and draw you into its web. But once you end up marrying this person, that is when the bad cop will emerge, and that is when all hell will literally break out in your life.
If you are a woman dating a man who is a physical abuser, many times he will not show his true colors until after you marry him. But once you marry him, that is when the actual abuse will start – after he has gotten you totally caught in his web, with the web being the actual marriage itself.
If you are a man dating a woman who has this kind of spirit on her, she will say and do all of the right things as you are dating her. But once you marry her, that is when the tables will be turned and she will start coming directly after you, trying to tear both you and the marriage completely apart.
This spirit first seeks to infiltrate the environment it wants to try and work in. And once it is in, it will then set up shop and start attacking and undermining literally every single thing it can. This spirit is an attack dog and it will literally attack anything and everything it can, depending on how far the host will cooperate with its evil promptings.
Here is a breakdown of some of the kinds of attacks you can expect once this spirit has gained a good foothold into a certain environment.
A) Will Start Playing Major Mind Games
The one thing I have noticed about this spirit is that it is very good at playing mind games and head games with people. It will know where your weak spots and jugular veins will be at, and the attacks will always be targeted at your weak spots so it can start to weaken and demoralize you and bring you down.
It will come after your levels of self-confidence and self-esteem. It will come after your calling for the Lord. It will come after your specific personality traits, both good and bad, to see if they can convince you that you are a nobody and that you will never amount to anything good and worthwhile in this life.
It will try and make you think you are the crazy one and that they are the ones who have all of the knowledge and wisdom. They will try and make you feel inferior so they can gain the upper hand in the relationship and that you then need to be totally guided by them and dependent upon them.
Before you know it, this kind of spirit can throw you into a depression, along with causing major confusion and indecisiveness. You will feel disoriented and feel like you are caught up in a fog.
In other words, this evil spirit will try to suck the life out of you and tear you down every which way it can so you can no longer function in your calling for the Lord.
The prophet Elijah himself was so distraught and depressed after coming into direct contact with Queen Jezebel and the spirit operating on her, that he almost wanted to throw in the towel and quit until God strengthened him through an angel and then gave him a direct word.
This spirit is very good at being very critical and judgmental and before you know it, it will have you believing in all of the lies it has been throwing your way. This is where you really have to know who you are in Christ, and that you never allow a person with this kind of spirit on them to be able to bring you down like they almost did with Elijah.
Let this part of Elijah’s story be a major lesson to all of us on how far this spirit will try and go – to literally try and get you to quit and walk out on God’s calling for your life. I believe a lot of the suicides we see may be as a result of this spirit’s evil influence over a person and the mind games it knows how to play with them. If they can do this with a great man of God like Elijah, they then will be able to do it with some of us.
I have personally seen several men over the years be turned into a heap of mush by women who were operating with this kind of spirit on them. And the way it was done was by the mind games they were playing with the men over a certain period of time. They just kept beating them down with verbal assaults, tearing at their self-confidence, their self-worth in God, and what they were doing in their callings.
By the time they got done with some of these men, many of them lost their callings in the Lord due to the fear and paranoia that was now oppressing them as a result of allowing this kind of spirit to get too strong of a foothold into their lives and callings for the Lord.
B) Will Cause Major Dissension, Strife and Chaos
Another thing this spirit is very good at doing is causing a lot of in-fighting, back-biting, and malicious type gossiping among the people that are caught in its web. This kind of spirit knows exactly how to cause major dissension and strife even among the best of friends.
If this spirit infiltrates into a marriage, it will have everyone at each other’s throats. The children will be fighting abnormally among one another. Each spouse will be fighting with the other, as well as with the children. This spirit is a major peace disturber and it will cause all kinds of havoc and trouble in the family unless it is quickly dealt with and exposed.
If this spirit gets into the middle of a ministry or church, it will again try to get people to start fighting with one another so it can ruin the harmony and unity of a group or church.
Same thing goes if this spirit gets into the middle of an actual company or corporation. It will try and cause as much strife and dissension as it possibly can so it can try and bring down the entire division or company it has targeted. I wonder how many companies have gone out of business over the years as a result of the destructive influence of this kind of spirit operating on the inside of their company?
You walk into these environments where this kind of spirit is running rampant and unchecked, and you can literally feel the negative and oppressive energy in the air itself.
7. Will Go After Anyone in a Leadership Position

Another major strategy of this spirit is that it will always go after those who are in any type of leadership position. This would include pastors of churches, youth ministers, worship leaders, leaders of prayer groups and Bible studies, husbands as the head of households, supervisors, and upper level management of different companies and corporations.
If a man marries a woman who has this spirit on her, she will attack the man’s authority as the head of the household and try to get that position for herself.
If this person is working for a church, it will try and work its way as far up the ladder as it can so it can get very close to the pastor himself, and from there, start to work to bring him down just like Delilah did with Samson. Pastors especially have to always be on the alert for this kind of spirit, as this spirit is always looking for a way to get a direct shot at them so they can bring them completely down and destroy their entire church.
I do not have to tell you how many pastors have lost their ministry over the years because they got seduced into having an affair with a woman who had this kind of spirit on her. Lust and adultery have brought down too many good men of God over the years, and it was all because they fell under the seductive spell of this evil spirit.
If this spirit infiltrates a prayer group or a Bible study class, it will try and work its way to the top so it can be the leader of the group. Once it is the new leader, it will then start its attacks so as to completely destroy the group with false teaching, false prophecy, spreading false rumors about other people in the group, causing dissension among the people in the group, along with trying to poison the people of the group against whoever the leaders of the church are.
The reason this spirit wants to take out those in any type of leadership position is because it wants that leadership position for itself. And if it cannot get that leadership position for itself, it will then try and completely destroy it so there is nothing left of it. This is how some marriages end up in divorce, and this is how some churches end up closing their doors and going out of business – all due to allowing this kind of spirit to run rampant and unchecked in their environment for too long of a period of time.
8. Will Be Capable of Giving False Prophecies, Visions and Dreams

With this kind of spirit really hating all of God’s prophets, it can only be expected that this spirit will falsely prophesy whenever it can. This kind of spirit is thus able to give its host false prophecies, false words, false dreams, and false visions – all in an attempt to make its host look more spiritual than they really are, and to also lure as many other people into its web that it can so it can build up its own base and following.
Since this spirit is operating at a higher level of intelligence than most of the other demons are, you really have to closely examine any words or prophecies that the host will be getting. If the host is falsely prophesying under this spirit’s guidance, the Holy Spirit will show you where the errors are at so you can separate a true prophecy from the Lord from one that is coming from this kind of evil spirit.
This is why all prophecy has to be judged and properly discerned, so you can determine where it is really coming from, as the Bible warns us about false prophets being among us like wolves in sheep’s clothing.
9. Runs in Tandem With a Mocking Spirit

Another very interesting thing that I have seen occur on several of the cases I was allowed to watch and observe, is that this spirit runs in tandem with what is called a mocking spirit.
As we have explained before, when a head, chief demon such as a Jezebel spirit moves in on the inside of a person’s body, they will usually travel in groups and they will thus have numerous other demons under their control and authority.
One of the underlings to the Jezebel spirit will be what is called a mocking spirit, otherwise known as a blocking type spirit. It’s job will be to cover for the Jezebel spirit and try and distract people from figuring out that this person really has a Jezebel spirit on the inside of them.
Many deliverance ministers have first come across this mocking spirit when trying to deliver someone from the Jezebel spirit. This spirit can actually be quite funny and comical at times, and has literally made some deliverance ministers laugh right in the middle of an actual deliverance. This spirit will try and distract you and get you off center so you do not stay too focused on trying to get to the Jezebel spirit.
This mocking spirit will make fun of, make light of, and make jokes about anything and everything, and it is quite funny and comical when it does. When it moves in operation ahead of the Jezebel, it will try and take the sting out of some of the evil things that will come out of a person’s mouth and actions, as so many people get very quickly appalled when some of these evil traits start manifesting through a person’s personality.
However, do not let this mocking spirit fool you with its dark humor and jokes. Operating behind it is probably the most evil of all of Satan’s demons.
10. Especially Hates Prophets, Prayer, and Spiritual Warfare

Another very obvious thing with this kind of spirit is its absolute hatred and disdain for anything to do with spiritual warfare, prayer, and anything to do with God’s true prophets. This spirit hates all of God’s prophets just like Queen Jezebel did back in the OT. And it also hates anyone who is actively involved with spiritual warfare in the Lord.
The reason it hates these two types of people is because prophets and those well trained in the area of spiritual warfare are its greatest threat. Prophets and those who are trained in the area of spiritual warfare can easily spot and pick up when they come across this kind of spirit, and they will then know how to get rid of it if the person is open to receiving an actual deliverance.
If you want to test a person to see if they have a Jezebel spirit on them, just bring up the subject of prophets and spiritual warfare and watch how this spirit will well up with anger and disgust, and from there, will try and change the conversation to something else. You will hit a nerve every time you do this with this kind of spirit.
This spirit also hates any form of prayer to the Lord, as it knows our prayer life with the Lord is what keeps us in the center of His perfect will for our lives. That is why it loves to infiltrate and attack prayer groups of any kind, so it can attempt to prevent people from staying close to the Lord in their own personal relationships with Him.
11. Will Occasionally Expose Itself on a Photo

Another amazing thing I have seen occur with this kind of spirit is when it seemingly wants to let its guard down when the host is having their picture taken. Every once in while what will happen is that this spirit will literally manifest right through the person’s face and eyes and it then gets captured by the camera. You will thus see a real, live Jezebel spirit captured on the actual photo itself.
I do not know if this spirit is doing this just to flaunt itself, or if it wants to see what it looks like through a person’s face, but it is quite amazing how often this actually happens. I remember the first time I had one captured on a photo, you were able to see partly into its personality through the person’s eyes.
What I saw was not only pure evil and pure hate, but I saw an old, ancient spirit with a high degree of intelligence and cunning in it. You could also see that it had a very seductive quality in its personality, and that it would use that seductive quality to lure people into its web so it could eventually eat them up alive and devour them. You could also see that this thing has absolutely no mercy in its personality and it would kill you in a second if it could do so. This thing is as creepy as it gets.
12. The Host Usually Will Not Know They Have This Kind of Spirit in Them

The saddest thing about these types of cases is that most of the time, the host will not know they even have this kind of spirit operating on the inside of them. These people never feel it moving on the inside of them, nor do they ever hear it trying to talk to them. This spirit is very good at hiding behind the scenes, but yet at the same time getting the host to do exactly what it wants them to do.
The reason these people are usually clueless that this spirit is operating on the inside of them is because this spirit is so smooth and so cunning in the way in which it operates. This is why this spirit will try and fill the person up with as much pride as they can, so these people will be totally incapable of admitting that they could even have this kind of spirit in them in the first place. This is how well deceived these people are, and how well this spirit has played and manipulated them during the entire time it has been on the inside of them.
As a result, many of these types of people will never receive a true deliverance from the Lord. And this is all because they have too much pride operating in their personalities, which will prevent them from admitting that they could ever have this kind of spirit operating in them in the first place.
HOW TO HANDLE A JEZEBEL SPIRIT

1. If you ever come across a person who has this kind of evil spirit on them, and this person is working close with you to some degree, whether it be at the church you attend, the church you work for, your place of employment, or if by chance it be with your very own spouse, the very first thing you must do is go direct to God the Father in prayer and get His direct advice and strategy on how to deal with this thing.
As we said above, in many of these types of cases, the person who is carrying this kind of evil spirit will have no idea they are actually carrying it. By the time you meet them, they may be so full of pride, they will never admit that they could have this kind of evil spirit operating in them in the first place. If that is the case, then you will have to have God deal directly with that person and pray that He supernaturally show them that they really do have this kind of evil spirit operating on the inside of them.
Until this spirit is fully exposed to the person who has it, and this person is then ready to receive a full deliverance from the Lord, there will be nothing you can really do about it but continue to pray to the Lord that He show this person what the real truth is.
But if God does fully expose this kind of evil spirit to the person who has it, and the person is then ready to be delivered from it, you can then do the deliverance like we have shown you in the other articles in the Spiritual Warfare Section of our site.
You first will need to get good, detailed information on their past, and then find out what the legal rights are that allowed this spirit to enter into them in the first place. And then once you find out what those legal rights are, then get them properly taken care of and fully broken with God the Father.
Then once all of the legal rights have been fully taken care of and broken with God the Father, then move to bind all of the underling demons to the chief Jezebel demon, and then from there, proceed to cast all of them out of the person as one spirit.
For a full, detailed explanation on how to deliver someone from demons, please refer to our three main articles titled:
Dealing With the Legal Rights of Demons
Deliverance System For Casting Out Demons on the Inside of a Person
How to do a Self-Deliverance
Each of these articles will show you how to set someone up for a true deliverance from the Lord.
2. If by chance this person is not open to receiving any type of deliverance and they are causing major trouble, strife and dissension in a church, prayer group, or Bible study class, you may have to ask this person to leave so this evil spirit does not continue to attack the other people who are in the same environment with this person.
If you do not ask this person to leave, this spirit will set up shop right the middle of your church or prayer group, and from there, it will start attacking everyone, trying to cause as much strife, dissension and chaos as it possibly can. You cannot give any ground to this kind of evil spirit. If you do, it could end up eventually taking down your entire church, prayer group, or Bible study class.
3. If this kind of spirit has infiltrated your work place, the supervisors will need to take charge and let this person go. Again, if they do not, this spirit could end up causing mass mutiny and disloyalty, along with seriously effecting the productivity of your entire work force. This spirit, and the person who is carrying it, are toxic, and they will infect and contaminate every person they come into major contact with, as this kind of spirit is an attack dog and will viciously attack anyone who will get too close to it.
4. If your spouse is carrying this kind of evil spirit on them, again, you will need to go direct to God the Father and get His specific instructions on how to deal with this if your spouse is not open to admitting they have this kind of evil spirit on them. God hates divorce, but at the same time He is not going to allow this kind of evil spirit to run rampant and unchecked in a family environment.
As we have showed you in our article titled, “Battle Verses of the Bible,” our God is a powerful Man of War and He will go to war for you and fight this kind of evil spirit if you will just pray for Him to do it for you.
CONCLUSION

As we said at the top of this article, the Jezebel spirit is without question, one of the most evil and vile spirits you will ever come across in this life. This thing is nothing but pure evil and hate, and all it wants to do is attack and kill everything in its sight.
This spirit has been attacking mankind ever since Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden. And until Jesus comes back to set up His Millennium Kingdom and throws Satan and all of his demons into the bottomless pit, we are all going to be stuck with this kind of evil spirit being allowed to roam in the air seeking who it is going to try and attack and devour next.
And if by chance this kind of spirit ever comes into your neck of the woods, go directly to God the Father and get His immediate advice on what you should do and exactly how you should handle this kind of extreme situation. Again, you cannot give any ground to this kind of evil spirit. If you do, it will establish a stronghold base within your environment and from there, it will launch major attacks on both you and anyone else that is in this environment.
This evil spirit must be resisted right at the outset if at all possible. If it is not, it can eventually end up destroying the entire environment it is working in, whether it be a family, church, prayer group, Bible study class, or an actual company or corporation.

Gang boss gets 15 yrs

Saturday, April 16, 2011

 

KLANSMAN gang leader Tesha Miller was yesterday convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison in what Police Commissioner Owen Ellington described as a victory for law and order.

The decision in Miller’s case was handed down at about the same time that the police scored another big win in its fight against crime with the recapture of Nicholas Nesbeth, also known as ‘Fire Key’, in Craig Town, Kingston.

 

MILLER… trial conducted amid heavy police presence 1/1

 

Police said that Nesbeth was captured along with two other men — one of whom has been identified as wanted for a number of murders in the Kingston Western Division. The other man captured is Ricardo Jones, the brother of Christopher Linton, also known as ‘Dog Paw’.

Nesbeth, described as the brain behind the Dog Paw gang, was mistakenly released by the police in February after an administrative blunder.

Yesterday, Miller — who headed the Spanish Town-based Klansman gang which is allied to the Opposition People’s National Party and which has, on numerous occasions, engaged the police in fierce gun battles — was sentenced to 22 years behind bars in the High Court Division of the Gun Court, shortly after his conviction.

The convict was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment for illegal possession of a firearm and 15 years for robbery with aggravation, but will only spend 15 years behind bars as the sentences are to run concurrently.

Miller’s attorney Bert Samuels has said that he will be appealing the sentence and conviction. Miller’s trial, which started last month, was conducted amid heavy police presence at the Supreme Court building in downtown Kingston.

Hours after Miller’s conviction and sentence, Commissioner Ellington issued a release hailing the decision as a “victory for law and order over criminal forces, who have plagued especially St Catherine over the years”.

“I want to offer my gratitude and thanks to the men and women of the St Catherine North Division and the other formations who worked diligently, thoroughly and with great perseverance in preparing a case file on Miller which met the highest professional standards and which ultimately led to the convictions today of this noted gang leader,” said Ellington.

Miller was arrested in December last year in connection with a stolen motor vehicle. His arrest sparked a demonstration by residents in the hotbed community of De La Vega City in Spanish Town. The demonstrators complained that Miller had been unfairly targeted by the cops.

In October last year, Miller was detained and interrogated by Criminal Investigation Branch detectives about crimes committed in the old capital.

Since his arrest in December the Klansman gang has been split by bloody infighting for the leadership of the criminal network, which saw over a dozen persons being killed in areas known to be the stomping ground of the gang.

In September last year, Miller was denied entry to The Bahamas by immigration authorities there. He was detained overnight and sent back to Jamaica the following day.

In June 2009, Miller, also called ‘Rat’, was acquitted of the murder of John Haughton in the Home Circuit Court because of insufficient evidence. Haughton was shot on St John’s Road in Spanish Town in April 2004.

Months before the June 2009 acquittal, Miller was also set free of the triple murders of Oraine Jackson, Jeffery Johnson and Nicole Allen in Braeton, St Catherine in January 2005. He had absconded bail on the murder charges and fled to the United States in that same year. But he was held by the US authorities in October 2006 and charged with re-entering that country illegally. He had been previously deported from that country.

A .45 pistol, an SKS assault rifle, one pound of marijuana and a large scale — which the US agents said was commonly used to distribute narcotics — were allegedly found in an apartment Miller occupied in Tampa, Florida.

Yesterday, the Police High Command raised the threat level against the constabulary to extreme and reminded cops to take steps necessary to protect themselves, their families and government properties and remain alert at all times.

Extreme means that violent attacks against members of the security forces are imminent.

The caution was issued in light of Miller’s conviction and sentence and the killing by the police on Thursday afternoon of Klansman member Amal ‘Satan’ Roman.

Roman, who was regularly listed as a major person of interest for several murders and shooting incidents, was killed in a shootout with cops in Kent Village, St Catherine.
