I don't listen to preachers these days because they seem to lack emotional intelligence, discernment and the ability to overcome the group think. This pastor is obviously seeking wisdom and so is finding it. Your teaching is on so many levels of understanding. I pray protection and good health over you and your family in Jesus name. God bless
THIS pastor is a very well-known self-serving narc. It is also a well-known phenomenon that many Christians are attracted to narcs, but seeing someone talking about emotional intelligence (something that's completely absent in Driscoll) support a narc is a new low.
@ezbody you are a slanderous, gossiping, mocker, your fork tongue is on fire with bitter arrogance. Its the ahabs that always get upset at the Elijah's. Now we see but a pale reflection.. nobody has it all.. At least God has a man here willing to strike out at the compromise religious system that is subtlety turn to a wicked and adulterous generation.
I am not a guy but I'm seeking wisdom and knowledge. The churches out here nowadays are spiritually dead and acting too much like the world. Pastor Mark, Thank you for preaching real Doctrine 🙏
I'm new to Mark Driscoll after the John Lindell Men's Conference incident. Not sure why John Lindell is publicly shaming Mark except he's under a wrong spirit. Mark is being accused of dividing and trying to destroy a church? Isn't that a bit of a stretch? Pastor Mark, just keep it moving. You've gained quite a few more listeners after you did the brave thing.
Ahab and Jezebel parents raised me - this totally helps me understand my dad doing nothing while my mother did what she did. Very healing to understand not only them but all my own crap - Thank you!!
Pastor Mark, I came to know u cause of the rebuke you did at the men’s conference. Praying that God will continue to bless u and protect you. We need more people like you to stand up againts the ahab and jezebels of this time. Some Churches are changing and are more tolerant of the things of this world we need more discernment this last days. God bless u!
This is one of the greatest sermons I have ever heard! ❤️ God Blesses this great Pastor. 👍 👌 MY Dad a Marine, always said,sometimes the only way to peace is threw war. WAR IS horrible,but if bad people are hurting good people,someone has to stop the demons.
Pastor Mark, I am a resident in the community of this church and I am deeply grateful for your concern in this Jezebel spirit here in our Heartland. I am so glad to hear you are bringing men back to where they belong.
@@rachelfree1083 I agree but the fact remains I have never once regretted not consuming alcohol. It never improved a single aspect of my life and I have never witnessed a family situation improved by introducing alcohol. I was a Police Officer for 20 years and observed countless families destroyed by alcoholism.
I am from a long line of alcoholics and understand it's not everyones vice. Mark, being a pastor, I pray to tread lightly on the whiskey talk. It can be a stumbling block for others.... especially ones looking to up him. I have had my fair share of late night memories with whiskey. None of them brought me closer to the Lord. I'm sober and have been 2 years by the grace of God. Whiskey almost took my family and my life. Im not saying everyone has a problem with alcoholism but whiskey talk isn't for the pulpit. Wedding and wine are one thing....but how can you fight jezebel and ahab and not even consider the dark and deadly spirit of addiction? This is my first youtube comment ever but I pray this taken in truth and love. No pastor is perfect and I appreciate everything I have learned from you. Thank you Jesus for your forgiveness and grace ❤
I get where you’re coming from…. But I’d also bet a thousand dollars Mark agrees being a drunkard is a sin that will keep you from heaven. That separates you from Jesus. If you need to avoid the beach because of the kids swim suits these days, I don’t fault you. But others should be able to talk about enjoying the swim and sunset when they don’t have wondering sexual thoughts…. We all have our issues. And it’s better to cut off your arm, or pluck out your eye to save your body….. but we all have different issues….. I could waste all day watching TV, so should everyone stop watching tv? Or atleast they shouldn’t talk about a TV show or sports game in public? We each have different issues to over come, or avoid if needed….. but that doesn’t mean some TV is ok… or a drink…. Or the beach when you keep your thoughts “clean”…
I get your point. But there’s a looooong list of “things pastors cannot say” and they’ll slip up sometimes. To focus on that risks missing the word that was spoken. And this is why he appeals to men, he’s a dude….. not a feminine man in chinos. He likes a whiskey and I’m guessing a nice sounding V8 too
@@Jack-yf1ssI've been to rehab. There were more men than women there. If you could see into the belly of the beast like I did... It changed everything for me. Thank you Jesus for meeting me at my worst. Greg Laurie is a good online pastor and has stood the test of time. His mom was an alcoholic. I wanted to start listening to Mark too but the Lord is showing me otherwise.
I been trying to go to this church down the road from us. My wife is a life long Christian and was raised in the church. Has been very involved most of her life. She picked the church which happens to be a dying congregation. We are pretty much the youngest married couple there. They are you usual "normie" church goers that really don't believe in the full scope of evil. They are completely out of touch with the outside world. I feel like a battle hardened combat vet of life whenever I attend and have no idea what to talk about outside the state of the weather with 90% of them. They appear to be good people and I don't want to bring any negative vibes to their happy world has the ride off in the sunset of their lives. I did find a mens bible study group that also spends an hour prior to bible studies dedicated to learning self defence. I am fitting right in. Next we are gonna go shooting, put some rounds down range.
I am so glad, that at the end you mentioned that someone showing jezebelic behavior may need healing. I think this cannot be understated! Many people I know, men and women, feel unsafe from unresolved trauma and controlling their environment gives them a false sense of safety and security. One thing I'd love to see covered is that someone can be having a fear response that comes out as controlling, but they may not be carrying around a jezebel spirit with them. Not everyone trying to control is a jezebel. They may just have partnered with a spirit of fear or control. Jezebel, however is involved in overt idolatry, calls herself a prophetess though she is operating in manipulation (witchcraft). To name someone a jezebel means they've taken on that persona as their own, knowingly or unknowingly. There's jezebelic type behavior invarious amounts, trauma/control responses, and at times an actual spirit of Jezebel present and operating. All 3 of these are distinct from each other and needing different approaches. Lord Jesus, give us the discernment to recognize the difference and help others find the healing, deliverance, and freedom You designed for all of us to walk in. God bless.
Wonderful message, Thank You. I'm asking anyone willing to send prayers for me to be able to forgive the Jezebels in my life that has come to destroy my marriage and for me stop being Ahab. Thank you all and let blessings come to each one that send prayers in Jesus Holy Name.
Dear Pastor Mark, I love what you did at the conference. I do pray for your protection now, not only from your earthly enemies, but also from the spirit that may try to make you proud and thereby bring you down in the aftermath, due to all the attention focused on you. I pray that you prosper, even as your soul prospers.....❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wanting you to know you preached truth and you are showing great grace and fortitude in allowing God to defend you. We in missouri are praying your words will raise up the Elijah's and send Jez and ahab out of our church
Spot on, haven't heard a pastor say these things quite like this, this is a very helpful message...among a bunch of others that I have been listening to. Thank you Mr Driscoll!
Pastor Mark, if you’re seeing this I truly enjoy your messages and preaching, you’ve helped me understand many things. With that being said, the lewd jokes and alcohol talk could cause others to stumble.
@@littleme3597 I understand you love you pastor! But he's not s child that needs your protection. Let your pastor defend himself and his actions like men do! Stop erasing comments that you find are opposing to your views. It's not a good look on your church and on your pastor. is Mark aware you are doing this?? I don't think he would approve not if he is a man of God.
I love Pastor Marks teachings!! He never holds back and gives it 100% out of truth and love!!! He truly gives me apostle Paul vibes!! Thank you sir!! I am reading your new book as well!! May God continue to bless you, your new family, and powerful ministry!! In Jesus name amen 🙏🏽☝🏽🕊️
You touched on important aspects on the human personas. It is crazy how as diverse as we are as humans we are prone to fall into one of the 3 characters Jezebel, Ahab and Elijah. We need to pray to be more spirit filled like Elijah. Great teaching you had for you church. The Lord rejoices
excellent Pastor Mark! You just get better and better! This is so spot on! Im the only Elijah in a huge family and Im a girl! Someone has to stand up and say no! Now im putting my family in jail. No really is a complete sentence.
Thank you Pastor Mark! This was a very great sermon. Please pray for us to help build the spirit of Elijah within us. I pray the same for you and your family and congregation. Blessings and peace to you! Amen! 🙏🏽
I wish all the men of God had the same spirit of you Pastor Mark. This nation would be a whole lot different, God bless you and your family and friends.
Mark’s teaching is great, apart from one glaring fault. He always covertly casts himself in the role of the hero. Yes, he formally acknowledges that Jesus is the hero, but his anecdotes and illustrations strongly hint that he - as a faithful pastor and teacher - also embodies the heroic traits of the protagonist.
I haven't watched this video yet but what I've learned through dealing with spiritual warfare. Not at the level of casting out demons but everyday life. It's all about positioning and shining light god will position you. You putting on the armor of god and emulating the character of christ through truth love peace kindness and mercy. Will create the light. God will protect you with his promise in isaiah 54. So you stand in position and power. And god will clear entire workplaces and churches and homes of spirits. Trust in him the more you allow your own thoughts and emotions drive the situation the more you just slow the process down. Give it all to god he is all powerful if he calls you to have a more direct act he will call you to it and position you to do it. So be at peace the earth is his footstool what is a little baby evil spirit to god
unfortunately my new wife thought I said yes to everything. when I told her no and stood my grounds about going to her friends party where all they do is drink she lost her mind.. Then I realized that no was the trigger word. Now she says I’m controlling because I don’t let everything go her way?? hmmmm
I hate to say this brother, but its going to go one of two ways, easy route (modern women take this path) divorce or the second option is basically break her "programming" down through manny many many hours of arguing, debating and showing her the way. From my personal experiences spanning over 22 years (one failed marriage down) a huge chunk of modern women are under this Jezebel spirit 💯. Quick question, did you ask her what her stance on abortion is? If she is pro-choice, that was your clue to avoid her.
Young man, I sympathize with what you're going through in your marriage. I'm going to pray that you two make it, and stay together if it's the right thing? One question I would ask if you and you can tell me to go jump in the lake. Do you think that you gave the dating phase of your relationship with her enough time, so as to get to know her and for her to know you? If she is really dead set against following while you lead which Is how it should be! That can then become a real problem! I made my share of mistakes over the years in trying to find a mate. Unfortunately here especially in the western world there aren't many women left who are brought up to be wives! Even in the church my friend where the men not all, but many have been emasculated. And fearful of dying alone and will acquiesce to the woman's demand to control and weild power and authority over the man! I guess for the men like myself and others I am open to a relationship with a woman that shared my values! Otherwise I choose to stay single! As a much younger man I had tried staying with a gal that I didn't want to let go of! I was on my way to Bible study while she was on her way to the night club with her gf's! That will never work, but there I was a hard headed young buck trying to fit a square peg into a round hole? Peace!
time 29:07 Fear is that Satan will act. Faith is that God will act. Most of my comments are about God not acting. I'm not sure if that is fear or complaining. I think they are different. It certainly doesn't sound like I have much faith. I have a lot of complaints about God not acting. Interesting.
Thank you Pastor Mark this the fist time I heard any of your teaching. And I enjoyed hear it and was able to understand it all. God bless you and your family May God continuing to use you because I to would love more Elijah in this world and one for me too.
So my only question is about the whiskey, many deliverance ministers will say not to even have alcohol in your home because it can give foothold to demons. So why does he drink? Just a little bit thrown off by that, the Bible says no drunkard will inherit the kingdom of Heaven, from my understanding whiskey is pretty strong. Not saying he gets drunk but also I just don’t see how drinking is a good thing.
My God you know what threw me off from wanting to be involved in the church? Goody goodies like you. People who are overly religious instead of more godly. More Legalistic instead of spirit-filled. It didn't help that my dad didn't prioritize making sure we lived somewhere with a good church for 8 years of my life and we fell away from the church and then the next church they joined after that made it seem like I didn't have a choice but to be baptized which scared me way more. And then listening the way my mom and dad talk and the way they treated me when they started going back to church. Does that mean I think that drinking and doing drugs is okay in moderation? Well drinking is a little bit different than drugs but even that should be done as little as possible but still not wrong to partake occasionally for the right reasons. But to look down on someone who partakes in alcohol at all or to even question it seems pretty crazy to me.
It's okay I finally did come back to God and I did get baptized. But I did find out that there are are pastors who are too prideful and too legalistic and my parents weren't always right in the way they treated me. And I was able to forgive them. If I have kids I will do a much better job at making the church appealing and I will teach them why it is important to be saved and love God and have their own personal relationship with him instead of shaming them and looking down on them or correcting them in the meanest way possible. I will empathize with them and explain to them why God's plan is the best plan for humankind. Even for people who are not religious. But they still need the salvation of Christ to enter heaven.
Just so you know there are different strengths whiskey. Maybe you truly don't even know about it so I'm sorry if I went on a super long tangent. But there's different strength whiskeys. Whiskey connoisseurs or whiskey drinkers will sip on it unless they're alcoholics and then they'll sip on it all day or drink strong mixed drinks as fastly as they can. But people who have self-control sip on it and don't have more than a very small class filled maybe an inch or two at the bottom.
We are to be of sober mind I don’t believe any follower of Christ should be drinking, but to tell the congregation you do this regularly in celebration before preaching. This is not something to be teaching the young men of the church
Where is that in this sermon? Was it removed? Anyone can drink. Just don't get silly drunk, just to do that. Are you Baptist? I grew up with alcohol in a European household. No one got drunk, no one was an alcoholic. It was only for weddings, Christmas, special occasions. Jesus drank wine. Each person has to make their own decision. Nothing wrong with alcohol.
I heard it. He just said he was excited for this sermon had some nachos and whiskey and said. I AM NOT ADVOCATING this for men. He must not have that ADDICT GENE EITHER. He didn't say he does this regularly. What are you hearing? What are you saying and distorting? He is not teaching this to young men either!
@@littleme3597 he said I love this every Wednesday I … I’m guessing this a Thursday men night. No historically they all considered it wine, but there was the fermented grapes that were really high in alcohol, and then not so much high in alcohol, essentially like a homemade bubbly soda. We’re back in that day they didn’t know the difference. They just called it all wine. They just knew that they were stronger wine. So put it all into context when they talk about drinking a lot of wine in the Bible, there’s was different kinds of wine, and there was one that you drink not to get drunk. And for those who say well, Jesus had one in the Bible, so drinking wine is fine. Jesus was a sinless person he never wanna sinned now, us in our Flawed human form tend to do sinful things when we are intoxicated. There’s a reason why both Peter and Paul, both wrote in the New Testament about being sober. And not delighting in the things of this world because it’s up to you to keep yourself holy. It is my personal belief, and I am nondenominational by the way that no Christian should drink. You just shouldn’t put yourself in that position to potentially sin. And it doesn’t really matter if you’re drinking to get drunk or not. Everyone can have their own opinion on it that’s fine, but I think we should all be in agreement that Pastor should be held to a higher standard And yes by him saying that he drinks every Wednesday he is advocating for drunkenness, and again you’re all flood in a human form In a new baby Christian life hearing that or even the Pastor drinks on Wednesday so it’s fine it’s probably going to lead to a lot of sinful lukewarm issues
Much of these two character identities can be summed up as Masculine and Feminine roll reversal. This is why society and culture is having a huge identity crises let alone a deficit in accountability.
Please pray for David and Bridgette. They both claim to know Jesus but their fruit says otherwise. Please pray for their deliverance, healing and walk with the LORD
amen hearing impaired !!!!! many thanks much i very exciting fight against evil spirit jezebel daily warfare keep holiness with Lord with heart amen praise the lord my name haviv elijah ben-chaim i did found my middle name is elijah will fire spirit pure holy amen many thanks for mark is fire spirit of elijah amen God bless you
John Lindell said ...with you on stage ...that people cannot speak against those that are annointed ( that is a lie !) .Lindell said that Mark was annnointed. Then Lindell , in his sermon a few days later.....spoke against Mark. Such a hypocrite. Lindell also claims that the sword swallower is a born again.....for 10 years. But yet...that guy posted with monks.....and admired monks...and wanted to live like them. That is NOT what a Christian would do !!
I spoke on what my faith has cost me and someone asked me "faith in what" instantly i felt uneasy as though my faith was being questioned like a trap was being set, i feel that the holy Spirit would have recognized the truth of my statement so i can only assume i was being drawn into an argument, faith is faith i will not justify my faith i think that we need to understand that debating over faith only causes conflict, god would not question the faith he has blessed me with
People Are blind, deaf and dumb until they are shown the light. Lord have mercy of those who like the man and his messages. He does make some sense, has insights, yet he is so blind to his own 'demons' as it were. Sex is the big one for him, followed by control, money and power. People think he's strong, manly and godly, yet really he has a small man complex and is terribly frightened that he will be seen for what he really is; a coward .
hello mark. many many thanks much i and my wife are deaf ministry teach warn rev 2:20-21 evil Jezebel spirit that my deaf brothers and sisters in christ. several miracle Rebuke evil jezebel that health better much wow God bless you
May Our Heavenly Lord have mercy on you. How can you say "Every Wednesday I eat nachos, drink whiskey and stay up so late"....when you are about to speak the Holy Word of God. What kind of inspiration are all those words for humanity? not even as a joke. Preaching is calling to do good only🙏
He said as a joke that "Every Wednesday he eats nachos, drinks whiskey and that he stays up until late" of course, the pastor was joking about it. But in my personal opinion he should not joke like that especially if he is preaching or giving a sermon. I apologize if anybody gets offended🙏
A husband who is like Ahab not only allows others to hurt their wife and children but also hurts them himself in many ways. Conversely, women married to a man like Ahab have to constantly battle the Jezabell spirit. These spirits are partners and work in tandem. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is the only defense against these demonic spirits.
PLEASE give us more teaching on what to do with a jezebel wife. My wife is deeply entrenched in this spirit - and it is generational - and it is all throughout the church where I live (PNW). Being Elijah means constant conflict in this environment. How long do we hold on before separation becomes an option. Is separation even an option??? Need some counsel here Pastor. Thank you for this series.
There is a third type of man. One that does not move back or forward, but one who stands his ground. One who has built his house upon the Lord, and it was likened to a fortress. Such a man welcomes death, but does not seek it. Such a man knows the never ending grace of God, and is terrified. Ye, satan truly is powerful, but there is no comparison to God.
Keep your chin up Pastor Mark. What you’re preaching about the people that watch you are getting a front row seat to it literally happening to you right now.
The flesh is the fence that separates heaven from hell. And just like that story goes. You either willingly choose the holy or you belong to the devil. And the devil also owns the fence. So stop living in the middle. Make a choice
time 21:44 Some people have really big egos and think they are correct and righteous. Anyone who disagrees with them is automatically wrong and evil for daring to think the big ego person is not the great thing ever. It is absolutely terrible to be anywhere near people like that. Why does God put us in these situations?
time 24:24 How does a child allow demons to invade their lives? It seems like some children are possessed. Maybe I'm mistaken about that. Surely the parents have asked for help from God, but nothing improves. Why is God ignoring the parents and the troubled children?
Generational curses is what is running rampant in society. The Jezebel spirit is being passed down generational in which it demonizes the female babies in the womb. I do deliverance ministry so I'm a soldier in the war. If you suspect your kid's are demonized you do have the authority to cast them out even if they are not saved yet if they're younger then seven years old.
time 38:52 Absolutely! Have a witness because people will lie about what really happened. God knows everything, but God won't help out. God would rather let people lie and allow innocent people to suffer because of the lies of rotten people. Why does God allow people to lie and destroy the lives of others and actually get away with it and prosper?
time 14:50 It certainly is tough to know when to be a lion or a lamb. One big problem is there are too many people in the world that will be "righteous" and condemn anyone who is mistaken about when to be a lion or lamb. Some of those scummy people make it their personal mission in life to destroy anyone who daress to make even a tiny mistake.
Why is a man of God talking about going home on Wednesday night and eating nachos and drinking whiskey? I dont get it! Its called spirits for a reason, forget the fact that men at this conference might have struggled with addiction to alchohol and God delivered them and now a pastor is saying they should pray about doing the same thing on Wednesday night!! (Drinking whiskey and eating nachos) Unbelievable
Agree with you. Drinking Whisky is not right. Christians are called to be Sober and Vigilant in these last days. Not indulging in drunkenness and revelry. Pastors should be really careful not to mislead believers.
Your judging him so how Christians are you being?? And it's sad that put of the hundreds of other beautiful things he said, you choose to point out the bad.
You seek deliverance. But it won’t do any good annd they will come right back 7 times worse unless you repent of what invited them to harass you. Remember you are Holy Spirit possessed but the demonic can still control and influence you through cracks in your spiritual Eph6 armor that lets Satan attack you through lies, deception and temptation. Study eph6 and its spiritual warfare significance.
Something to think about… when any of us listens to this pastor or any other , we must remember they are human and can make mistakes. They may have an excellent message, but we should never take everything they say as gospel, but take the message given and follow up on it ourselves by reading actual scripture. The only way we can learn to discern lies from the truth is read the scripture ourselves and pray for wisdom and understanding. Listening to preachers and going to conferences or reading books is not the way to know God and His word, but a way to back up what is actually in the Bible… the Bible should always be our first and final resource and figuring out truth from misinformation is between us and God. I listen to Pastor Mark and others, but I do not take their word as gospel itself
