Jezebel rarely kicks the front door in. She waits to be tolerated, then she teaches, seduces, and slowly rewrites what a church calls “normal.” From a prayer retreat in North Carolina, we share a fourth dream that put urgency on our hearts, a clear picture of Jezebel roaming outside a church, dressed in darkness, looking for an opening into purity, order, and worship.

We connect that dream to Scripture and to real-life church dynamics: intimidation that feels like “strong personality,” control that hides behind spiritual language, and influence that spreads through whispers, critique, and subtle power plays. We read Revelation 2:20 and sit with the warning that the problem is not only Jezebel’s presence but a community that allows her to teach. We also talk about discernment in prophecy, how to test what is being presented as “new revelation,” and why the Holy Spirit must remain the authority who searches minds and hearts.

We then widen the lens to cultural pressure, the rebuilding of Babylon as an image of anti-order ideology, and how confusion about truth can spill into theology, leadership, and sexual ethics. Whether you are a pastor, an elder, or a believer trying to guard your home, the takeaway is practical: watch and pray early, judge fruit, set boundaries without fear, and keep worship centered on the real God.

Gratitude And Series Context

SPEAKER_00

Can I just say I'm so grateful for you believing that God is speaking into this ministry, that there's something beneficial and helpful coming through Faith Fire Worldwide Revival Ministries? I'm just grateful for the time that you take to sit and listen to what the Spirit of the Lord is saying. This is not this is not Frank Mickens, this is the Spirit of God, and at least that is the goal. We're continuing our series about Jezebel. I'm joining you again here from St. Francis Prayer and Retreat Center in Rockingham County, North Carolina, where I've been spending the day praying. And I'm sharing with you now what is a fourth dream specific to the spirit of Jezebel as we keep continue to get these revelations about how Jezebel operates in our homes, our families, and in church and in the culture for the point of victory. This is the dream that I believe truly had me seek God about. Should I start talking about this? I was made aware of this being on the heart of God many times over the last 15, 20 years, but expressly in 2025 in January, and then again with this dream, and it caused me to start looking in my notes. I had this dream

The Dream That Prompted Release

SPEAKER_00

on June 14th, 2026. So this is the one that I believe instituted the timing to release all of this teaching, all of this that I'm going to be sharing about Jezebel, so that we can be more like Christ, live like Christ, see Christ alive and moving, and see the abundant life in our churches and in our families. So in this dream on June 14th, I saw Jezebel. I think this might be the only time I've actually no, I did mention in a previous teaching, I saw Jezebel in Vladimir Putin's office in Russia, and that's the spirit that's primarily controlling him to dominate, rule, and be controlling and to go and resort to murder and violence and theft, which is all the things that Jezebel did in 1st and 2 Kings. But this would be the second time I've seen Jezebel. In this particular time, it's very simple. I had this dream. And I saw Jezebel walking around a church. So you know there's the verse of scripture that says that the enemy goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he will devour. And that we should resist him steadfast in faith. So it's the same thing with Jezebel, the same strategy, resistance, which is to forcefully oppose, not just to sit back and say no. But yeah, because when you resist something, you know, you're putting pressure against it to push it back. But that roaring lion comes in the form of a woman in the Jezebel spirit. And so here's here's the trick it's not always a woman in bodily form who's being influenced, but most of the time I believe it is. That woman then will influence a man to then submit to the spirit of Jezebel's ideology. It's all in the mind. But Jezebel works through the softness and the delicate nature of women. So in the scriptures in Genesis, it talks about how the sons of God, which were demons, saw that women were beautiful to look upon. So God created women in such a fashion that even the unseen realm recognizes that they are beautiful, that they are made in a way that expresses the beauty of God very uniquely. And in the earth we know this to be true. People say sex sells. Well, it's because of women, not men. Okay. The nature of people is to acknowledge the beauty that is built into a woman, right? The way she's made, the way she talks, uh, the way they think, um, the things they value. It's beauty. Um, it's not just accomplishment. For them, it's about experience, it's about enjoyment, it's about the sela vie of life, it's about relationship, uh, it's about camaraderie, communication, uh, it's about self-care. They embody a part of God's spirit, a part of God's personality that is vital for us to understand. Without women, we would not have the complete picture of who God is. They have that portion of God. Why am I saying all this? Jezebel perverts that to try to get into churches. It happened to me. I was pastoring, I believe the Lord wants me to reveal this, and there were women in the church who wanted to dominate me. They wanted to tell me what to do. Um, there were violent and outward expressions of extraordinary disrespect in church meetings, uh, prior, immediately prior to church meetings, there were uh activities being done in the church without permission that were perverse. And when they were addressed, the woman would react violently. There were innocent mistakes made, and their responses were violent, uh, very emotionally verbal abuse, verbally abuse, abusive. And so this is what happens in churches, and so we just say, oh no, it's just a broken person.

How Jezebel Targets Atmospheres

SPEAKER_00

Well, sometimes it is, but sometimes it's the Jezebel spirit trying to influence an entire atmosphere. Jezebel is built to influence atmospheres, communities. So your house, right? Your family, a church, a city, a nation. Okay. There's a reason why God doesn't want women to rule nations. He doesn't want women to rule because that's not their, that's not their role primarily. Now, women can be an authority, they can be mayors, they can be presidents, but primarily God has built men to be visionaries, to be the ones who put their bodies through more arduous work, um, to be those who He can put more of a physical burden on, right? Uh late nights, hard conversations, uh, negotiations that, you know, um can be arduous. He doesn't want women to primarily be bearing the brunt of arduous work. That's man's job. He wants men to be the ones sweating. Okay? Now, women give birth, so they have their part. They raise children, they take care of the home. Yes, you can be a career woman and be in any profession you want. I'm not saying you cannot. What I'm saying is men cannot be replaced. So would I replace a woman and have a man give birth? Would I replace a woman and fill all of our daycares with men? Would you want to take your little girl, right, to a daycare run by nothing but men? Would that not make you say, that's something's not right? Sometimes we have to take the converse of something to have revelation come forth. So would you want all nurses to be men? Right? I'm even uncomfortable with my wife having an OBGYN who's a man, and he's not, but they're in the birthroom. You know, there's a natural consciousness and awareness God has given us that men, their role is not that. And so conversely, women's role is not to be an authority in a nation. So imagine war and it's just women. I'm not saying women can't be soldiers. I'm saying is men cannot be replaced just as much as women cannot be replaced. Now, why is this important? Because Jezebel makes the argument that men can be replaced. This is why we really got to dig into this, because it's such a familiar spirit in our culture that people will not all agree with what I'm saying. There's a move as Babylon's being rebuilt. Don't forget that Babylon's being rebuilt. The Antichrist is going to be the culmination of Babylon. Remember, in Revelation, the Bible says God's coming to destroy Babylon. The Babylon that was being built in Genesis and was torn down and God scattered the earth, we're now becoming what a global economy. I don't have time to get into this, but Babylon's being rebuilt. As Babylon's being rebuilt, the Babylonian demonic sensual ideology says women can be anything. Well, can men be anything? This is why gender identity and all this other stuff is so much deeper because now we're saying there's no truth. Now we're saying God's order is indecent. No. Paul says let everything be done in decency and in order. Order and decency go together. For me to be decent, for me to be in order is to be in right standing with God, to make things beautiful, to make things operate properly. So indecency is to be out of order. To be out of order is indecent. We have parallels there. And so the the spirit of darkness and the spirit realm of the dark realm wants to convince us that's something wrong with saying men can't be replaced. You can't replace men just like you can't replace women. Jezebel's lurking around churches right now, trying to figure out how to get in and convince women they should replace men. Jezebel's lurking around in the church trying to convince the church that we should have just as many women pastors as men pastors. Listen, there are prophetesses in the scripture, right? I'm not saying women can't do it because God raises up women to do these things, especially when men are not available. But I'm telling you, God says in the scriptures that a man should not have long hair because it is what? He says it is uh an offense. And he's not saying that because, oh, you shouldn't grow your hair. In that time, what they're establishing is, as it said in the scriptures, that there is no other tradition. There's no other way but this way. He says, if anyone wants to be contentious, this is there's no other, there's no other way to look at this. Women are women and men are men. We can't make men into women. We can't make women into men. Jezebel's coming, and Jezebel is behind the transgender movement, is behind the the uh lesbian movement, the feminist movement. It's trying to say women don't need men. Now, on the face of it, that's true. You can be a daughter of God and live your whole life without a man, but you do need the work of men. All right? We don't take men off the planet, okay? We don't replace men. Now, men have done incredibly bad things, and so a lot of women are walking around because they have bad experiences with their father or boyfriend. They might have been, you know, taken advantage of or mistreated or abused. You know, some people literally just stolen women's virginity. There have been physical abuses, verbal abuses, emotional abuses, literally the system set up to be anti-woman in a lot of cases, where people just put a hand up to women and say you're not allowed. You know, there are some golf

Cultural Confusion And God’s Order

SPEAKER_00

communities that wouldn't allow women in. That stuff's just absurd to me. So that's where that whole where different but were equal things have been perverted. Different and equal is just like separate but equal in Plessy versus Ferguson. African Americans were not dignified by that ruling. They were actually set apart and set out. They were cast out by that ruling because the idea of separate but equal, on his face sounds fine. We're different but equal. But separate and equal turned out meaning we're gonna separate you. We're going to discriminate. We're going to pull you out of the group. We don't pull you out of the group, we highlight you in the group. We should highlight women in humanity, just like we highlight men in humanity. Name buildings after them. Hallelujah. Put them on the face of dollar bills. I don't care. We should highlight women in humanity, but we don't separate them and say because they're different, we take them out of the group. No, Jezebel's saying, take men out of the group. Women, you know, the world's been messed up by women, we're gonna take over. Now that's just one feminist kind of idea that is rooted in Jezebel. But listen to this. I'm in this dream, going back to the dream, I'm walking outside this church, I see Jezebel dressed in black with black lipstick, dark black hair, black um makeup, eyeshadow, the whole nine. And that's what Jezebel brings. She brings darkness, she brings darkness. So this was a church, it was white, so this church is set apart for purity, and she's looking for a way in. Jezebel is sent by the enemy to defile purity, order, decency. And I wrote this down that this Jezebel spirit that I saw lurking around the church, you know, roaming about seeking who it might devour. It was very attractive by man's standards. So the enemy will make perversion attractive. He will make women replacing men attractive. He will make women refusing to submit to male authority attractive. He will make the sensuality and the sexual part attractive, of course. That's the forbidden fruit part. But it's not just that. Jezebel comes in to make perversity look attractive. It's witchcraft. What do witches wear black? And that that movement is taking on steam in our society right now. People wearing all black, black tattoos, black hair, and they go into the witch store. You know, we've got tarot cards at Barnes and Noble, you know, we've got witchcraft books in the children's section in the library in my city. And it's it's because Jezebel has convinced people that something that is absolutely wicked and indecent and upside down is attractive. That's the subtlety. And look, look at this now. As Jezebel was lurking around this church, she was looking for an opportunity to enter, an opportunity to infiltrate, an opportunity to attack the purity of the church. Revelation 2.20. Nevertheless, I have a few things against you because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce my servants who commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. I'm going to dig into that scripture, but before before that, let me read this to you. Jezebel is allowed or tolerated. If you just don't tolerate her, she will not get in. She is invited after people who are called to protect them, submit to her subtle manipulation. She seems okay at first, but begins to take control. There cannot be any room for this spirit. King Ahab married this spirit in a woman. So in this scripture, Revelation 2.20, he says, I have a few things against you because you allow that woman, Jezebel. That word woman can also, it's also translated in other ways to say your wife, Jezebel. What is a wife? Someone that is in covenant with you. Now the Bible says, He who finds a wife finds a good thing. So you see how Jezebel tries to get in. I'm gonna make this perverted image of a wife seem good. Why? Just because it's a wife, just because it's a wife doesn't make it good. Just because it's being presented to you to have covenant with it doesn't make everything about it good. Guys, the heart is wicked. People are are faulty. We're not perfect. So every wife's not good. There's good in her, there's good to come from her, but it can be perverted. And so just because it exists doesn't make it good. Just because marijuana plants exist doesn't mean that we should roll it and make it into an illegal substance. What did she call herself? A prophetess. So here's what happens: I come in and I and I know God, I have a message from God. This happens in a lot of churches. People who come in with a gift of prophecy, it's actually witchcraft, and they come in with another heart. God says later in this scripture that He's the one who judges the hearts and minds. If we let God judge, that's why we don't let everybody prophesy. Because you need to let people judge it by the Spirit. Is this the spirit of truth or the

Revelation 2 Warning About Toleration

SPEAKER_00

spirit of error? Error is when you're off target. They will call themselves messengers of God, people who know God, have a new revelation, and they're giving you something that's not in the scriptures and they're gonna call it new. And what do they do? They teach and seduce God's servants. This spirit comes in to take over. It doesn't come in just to come pray, it comes in to begin to influence by teaching, right? And seducing servants, people who want to serve God, people who are well intentioned, people who might be babes in Christ, people who are who are looking for a new thing, and they come in with this new ideology that says there's a better authority than what we have. And what does it do? It causes the servants to commit sexual immorality. Let me tell you something. That's not just about bodily sex, it's about gender too. Immorality. That's when I take the purpose of a body to reproduce, which is sex, and I make it something else. So that's gendered, gender identity, too. So Jezebel is taking over entire denominations. We're having denominations split, we're having denominations transform their theology because the world system has told them that there's a new kind of authority that says a gender is actually this. It's not what we always thought it was. Jesus is simple. The Bible says there's a simplicity in Jesus. That Jesus has a simplicity. We don't need to add to it or take away. We have to allow the Lord to let his truth simply come into our hearts. Jezebel is allowed or tolerated. I'm going to continue to teach here. It says in 1 Kings 16, 38, it came to pass as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians, and he went and served Baal and worshipped him. He thought it was a trivial thing. Guys, this is not trivial. Ahab literally changed the course of an entire nation when he went to an idol-worshiping king, claiming to do something to bring peace between nations. And he adopted a covenant with a woman that actually was a covenant with the spirit. God teaches us to judge the fruit, the mind and a heart of a person through the discernment of the Spirit of God. Jezebel comes to seduce. Seduction is her secret strategy. She's lurking around, trying to figure out how do I seduce them to let me in. That's her strategy. Jezebel operates with smooth and subtle activity. And again, we must be able to righteously judge by the help of the Holy Spirit. Revelation 2.23. I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts, and I will give to each one of you according to your works. Let God judge. Don't feel bad to let a person go and say, hey, you know, we appreciate you wanted to come here and worship with us. We can't allow this that you're doing. And let God take care of it. If you don't, God's going to bring swift death. This is why we have churches dying. Denominations are dying. Because they're not letting the Holy Spirit be the authority. We must listen to the Lord who judges minds and hearts. This will protect our churches from Jezebel. If you're a pastor or an elder, let me tell you something. You have got to be watching and praying, and you've got to pick up on this stuff early. And if you start seeing it in gossip circles, if you start hearing whispers and you start hearing about people like questioning authority,

Pastoral Discernment And Closing Prayer

SPEAKER_00

critiquing authority, beginning to have better ideas, talk to those people. Sit them down. Listen. And as you're hearing, judge the mind and heart. Is it the mind and heart of Jesus saying, yeah, these people have something, they have something they have something to say. You know, they might be on to something. Or is it the heart and mind of Satan that is trying to change what authority looks like in your church? So that anything goes, immorality, and what? Making sacrifices to idols. So now we're not making sacrifice to idols is worship. So now an infected church is actually not worshiping the real God. You can get so far gone into this. There are denominations that have gotten so far gone into this that they're not even worshiping God anymore, but they think they are. Jesus said to this church at Thyatera, which is where we are in Revelation 2, I see all your good works. I see all these things you do, but yet I still have a few things against you. It's not about works, it's about worship. Worship then work. I'm going to show you my faith by my works. Works is the conduit. It's not the point. Worship of God. Worship of God. Father, in Jesus' name, we're going to worship you with our whole heart, our whole mind, a whole soul, a whole strength. We surrender our strength to you. You are our strength. Of whom shall we be afraid? God, I pray against the intimidation tactics of this dominatrix, Jezebel, I rebuke her and her, her wanton nature. God, I pray that in our churches we keep the walls up. Glory to God. The tent had a wall. Hallelujah. The temple had a wall. Let our wall in our own temple, in our own bodies, around our spirit be erected against the demonic breaches that seek to allow this seduction of this demonic ideology in. We won't have it. God, I pray that we stand up against it like Elijah did. Stand up against it like Jehu did. We're going to see that in later. And we give you praise for it in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you. May the Lord bless you and keep you. Make his face shine upon you. Be gracious to you. May He lift his countenance upon you and give you peace. I love you.
