28 Signs of the Ahab Spirit | Pastor Mark Driscoll 

I was raised by an alcoholic grandmother who is a jezebel in my father was an ahab. I promised myself I would never become like them but I realize now I became an Ahab so I didn’t become a narcissist. I need to work on becoming an Elijah myself

Same here. In my church there was just a acceptance for the alphabet community group 😳😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♀️🥺 slowly surrounded by woke

Go look at the bible studies of Susan Heck. She memorised 26 books of the bible by heart and she only teaches women. Such a blessing

Amen ! I wish I would have known this early in life by the many pastors I have listened to in my whole entire life ! Amazing how The church today is so soft and politically correct instead of teaching Gods way Correctly. God help us ! Thank u for this video God bless all of us and God bless these pastors that are speaking truth ! Protect Them in Jesus Name Amen

Did you know taking God's name in vain is a huge sin? Like one of the ten commandments?

@@sassycat6487don’t worry, she wasn’t

Oh poop...add controlling, domineering and aggressive and it perfectly describes someone I know.

AMEN! Thanks for sharing. God bless. ❤❤❤

Thank you❤️🙏🏼!

You're dishonoring your husband right now... I suggest you get off RU-vid and talk to your Pastor. And YES.... AHABS ARE ALWAYS WITH A JEZEBEL.... it's a codependent relationship... and Jezebel speaks poorly of her husband without thought of holding her tongue

If you've ever said... "I'll do it myself" Described or referred to your husband as a "child" or "just a big kid" ....or public dishonor of him... then yes... you're acting like a Jezebel

@@shenanigansofmannanan yes, they are with a Jezebel- but it can be their boss, their sister… that doesn’t mean it’s their wife. It’s whomever has the loudest voice in their life.

What a ultimate paradigm shift this fully understood with clarity and transparent teaching a major level of encounter just for me at this season!!! This confirmed my Threapy and spiritual counseling

Me too. I identified with too many of the character flaws in that message. I really never even thought about those aspects of my character, and if I had I wouldn't have thought of them as evil. I avoid confrontation but that just means I'm peaceful, right? It's a virtue, not a flaw. That's how I would think. It's opening my eyes to some things watching this sermon.

Ok, never 100% Ahab spirit 😅

How did you change?

@@harumiayame8586 it took me a long time. My pacifism eroded over time. I just didn't want to be alone. Ultimately, i figured out it wasn't about me, but the glory of God.

And, as i watch this sermon again, i was maybe 50% Ahab...

Strong spirit dont know how possible to overcome is the curse todays society

Google this: real faith mark Driscoll elijah study Should be the first or second link. YT has a new auto mod system that deletes comments with links in it to help prevent bot scams otherwise I'd just post the direct link

Yes

No. Sometimes Esthers choose Ahabs trying to partner with a sweet quiet guy. His passivity becomes evil for sure

Isn’t victimhood more like self pity? I know how destructive that is.

Leave that church if it has a female pastor

His stance is not ambiguous. He frequently tells men and women to break up if they're having sex. His topic here is about the Ahab spirit, so a foolish, weak man without self control. Such a man wouldn't wait to get into bed with a woman who was weaponizing sexuality. He's not talking to men who haven't slept with the girl yet. He's talking to the men who have slept with the girl and spend their time trying to validate their choice. Him speaking to the men who are already sleeping with the woman also encapsulates the men who haven't yet but wanted to sleep with the woman. Driscoll telling men who've slept with her that she's a witch simultaneously tells men who haven't slept with her that she's a witch. However since the men who've had enough self control to not sleep with her aren't the topic this week it's even further fitting that he's speaking directly to the weaker men. Topic: passive men Speaking to: passive men If you're a frequent watcher then you know how often Driscoll hammers about not having sex before marriage, how damaging it is, and how foolish it is. If you're relatively new or very new then welcome! Driscoll is almost always blunt.

@@bufficliff8978 Oh okay, thanks for that context. It is definitely reassuring and makes sense as far as the audiences he is speaking to. I suppose it's to be noted that he actually speaks to men that have already slept with their girlfriend. These listeners/church goers are seeking to follow God's will and mark is acknowledging that's where some of these guys are at. He is bold and blunt and I suppose I'm used to a speaker that adds in a qualifier for the sake of that preach taken in isolation from other preaches. But again, i think it is commendable and rare that he speaks to men in the audience that have already had sex with their past or current girlfriends. It's just a reality for these people.. I haven't seen a ton of teaching from Mark over the years but my mind goes to the famous soundbite/clip many people define Mark by. The "who in the hell do you think you are!" clip with the most views has no context and many have never bothered to actually watch the entire message, not to mention follow the sermon series. Seeing that years ago, I was curious about the clip and actually sought out context and in doing that, realised it was called for. It was also a rebuke that many evangelical speakers will never do, or certainly not so direct and forceful. And when he says there are some in the congregation who fit the bill of an emotionally abusive boyfriend/husband, I one hundred percent agree given the size of the church and the large proportion of those who are new to the faith and have perhaps less Christian formation (though not exclusively that demographic as plenty of "life long" Christians behave in this way. Anyway, all that rambling to say, I appreciate the context and thank you for filling me in. A side note too that I appreciate Mark preaches the reality of the demonic in our world today. And he preaches how to recognise and how to address and fight back. Again, many contemporary "bigger name" evangelical preachers may not speak much, if anything, about the reality and influence of the demonic upon believers today. They may talk about the interaction Jesus had with them in his ministry but as far as practical teaching, may be limited. Anyway, God bless and protect Mark as he delivers these words. Thanks again for filling me in.

King Ahab is in the Old Testament

No where in the Bible does it say the word ‘Trinity’ or ‘ Rapture’ but we all know it’s true
