Passive Men and Controlling Women: The Ahab and Jezebel Spirits Today 

Tolerating Jezebel is also tolerating false teachers and doctrines

I'm a Brazilian pastor pastoring a New Frontiers church in England. This content is really fantastic. Thank you so much folks.

Wow I wish there was churches like this where I live. The stuff you teach here is amazing and important. Thank you!

Starts at 7:40

Woman here. Excellent message! I watched it because I was looking for information on how to deal with Jezebel at work. I have seen these dynamics my whole life, and I'm on my second job in a row that is "managed" by an Ahab, but it's controlled by multiple Jezebel coworkers. I'm in a very small town, and can't see any jobs elsewhere. I think it's also interesting that you find LOTS of Jezebels in certain "feminist" female-dominated fields. As a woman, I agreed with every single thing he said. Gotta get ready for work now. I would be very grateful if someone would pray for me...

Amen ! This is truly a man of God boldly taking the Godly role as the Lord has commanded

This is the best sermon on this subject. Great teaching.

Dear Pastor Mark, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your recent sermon on restoring a spirit of Elijah in the church. As a fellow pastor, I found your message to be incredibly encouraging and insightful. Your message has given me renewed hope and energy as I seek to guide the congregation I lead and serve toward a greater connection to the Father through Jesus and a greater connection to fathers through men being the men that God has created the to be. Thank you for sharing the wisdom you gained from God's Word and your experience with us. Blessings to you and the church you lead and serve, Jacob Griffin

You’re the best, Pastor Mark. What an amazing message. I watch this with my husband and we learn so much from you. God bless you ❤🙏🏻

Great job highlighting the problem and i agree that becoming the Elijah is the solution. Now to figure out how to do that.

Thanks brother, pastor Mark. Very very powerful truths unfolded. Truths undiluted here. Blessings dear brother. From Glasgow Scotland

Amazing. Bringing the stories to life and so pertinent to today. Bravo.

Good word Ive been watching two pastors on RU-vid that had passed so it nice to find somebody who is still here (although their words hold the time test) found a short on insta glad to have . Many blessings

This series is sooooo good

Thank you Pastor Mark

Thank you so much! You found me, with her! I'm going to be ok now.😊. Daniel.

The most beautiful it’s Bible reference and you teach the word of God rather then your own!!! Like everyone should of course

I've been ahab for many years growing with a single mother not knowing my role as a man and always being submissive it is hell on earth I was always looking to find answer and break through this delusional chains on my life

Very good Pastor. God bless you.

56:09.. Driscoll preaches about it and he speaks about nation is doomed until Elijah shows up!

The story at the beginning of the video - about the trouble making woman who ruins a small church - just shows one of many reasons why the average length of a pastor's ministry is around 2 years. You're not qualified to lead simply by having studied formulas in seminary. You have to be well-acquainted with fervent prayer and fasting to be ready for the real battles that come against the furtherance of the Gospel and the church.

Thank you Pastor Mark, I have done much in my work as a counselor on the subject. I find these teachings to be very parallel to the teachings of Dr. Jordan Peterson on the subject of "Agreeableness and Disagreeableness" a very good listen on the subject. Thank you again!

Thank you

@26:00 “we need some men CALLED TO a ministry of SANCTIFIED TROUBLE MAKING” MEN WHO ARE CALLED, and SENT WITH AUTHORITY !

Well said

So good!!

Im really liking this guy, think ill be watching more of his videos. Basically in a nutshell he is talking about feminism no doubt and it goes across about 3 or four generations since the civil rights movement for certain. The fact that women were/are far more likely to wage war throughout history shows this spirit has been thriving for a long time off and on where ever it can thrive. Usually it was the counterpart of the king just as in the same fasion we see here and occurs on a smaller scale all the time. In society today in the "mainstream" these two spirits are constantly promoted. To the men "Ahab" and to the women "Jezebel".

I noticed in jezebel spirit there is a passive ahab . I also noticed any male that comes out of a jezebel woman tends not to amount to anything

Amazing sermon, Mark. So edifying. May God bless you and protect you!

Out of my fear of being controlled I was controlling though it is over now I just want to do better next time I am married with Jesus help

what an excellent sermon! Thank you Pastor Mark

Interesting

Elijah Muhammad...Thank you so much Brother.

I’ve had a Jezebel in my church.

Thank you Pastor Mark for such an awesome teaching! 🙌

💯

Amen ❤

@Pastor Mark Driscoll So the question I have is: How does one descent the difference between a woman who just needs to be in control because of her background and one who has the Jezebel spirit. And, if it is the Jezebel spirit, and she is unchurched, how do you pray into that? Similar question for Ahab. Also, are there degrees of this?

What would be some of the doings of jezebel in the church....and how could you tell if a fellow man was being aflcted by such thing.....

So what’s the answer? Sounds like there is none Engage and enrage or stay a passive Ahab.

I have a question that I can’t seem to find answers to. Can a female who seems to be operating out of a Jezebel spirit only have portions of the characteristics and not all of them?

this series is so educational, convicting, and much needed as it is clear the roles have been reversed between men and women. Only thing I disagree is with DID/multiple personalities being demonically possessed as this typically can only occur under the age of 6. Our military (CIA)- Gerald Ford - was one of the first to discover this through Kathy O'Brien, learned how to perfect breaking a child at a young age through horrific trauma in order to groom them and use MK Ultra later in life to accomplish false flags or other needed narratives.. So please do not confuse what the Lord naturally created to protect a child's mind from something that is beyond our comprehension of evil. He was providing protection for them.

I had to leave theses churches it got so bad I was fighting with my Christian Husband

Your opening commercials are very long.

What happens when two jezebel spirits collide?

What happens when two jezebels collide?

I just found you and enjoying your videos. It would be great if you saved the casual wear ( baseball cap) for other occasions. Don't mean to criticize. God bless!

Satan will give you what You want To keep you from getting what God planned for you together. Judas got what he WANTED until he finally SAW what he got and he didn't WANT IT after all. Instead of running to Jesus he ran from his sin and ran away from Jesus and DEATH occurred. Satan got what he wanted. But in this case God the Father did also. Satan DIDNT believe what he heard BEFORE Jesus died. After Jesus died it was too late for Satan to do anything about it. Because Jesus raised himself up. This temple, in 3 days I will raise it up myself. He DID.

While I never married (I'm 36) I can attest to the fact that giving into sexual relations prior to marriage gives women like these power in the relationship. I was once with a woman who really did fit this type. I was too passive from the start and not only did she lose respect for me she was able to control me thru lust. I know another friend who married a self proclaimed witch. She is extremely controlling and she literally tried calling me out for speaking out against abortion. Last I checked her profile picture looks really demonic and she embraces the they/them pronouns. I feel for my friend because they have children together. Last time I visited their front living room is decorated with dark witch imagery. The sad part is he thinks he's being noble for supporting her. She used to be a very attractive woman but has now embraced the "happy wife happy life" nonsense.

Love your stuff, but we at home really don’t need the 7 minute intros

It's so sad, the lords creation in the middle of spiritual warfare on this earth. Let's not get started on womens ordination.......

Ahhhh yes Rube Franke and her husband.

I hope to not be a Jezebel but I apologize to my St b ex-husband I saw in this at times I was controlling. But God be the glory,we are done. I just wanted to say you can apologize and not do this in your future.

Are there female Elijah’s in these traits.

I'm a Christian women in a church that has this problem but they refuse to stay with Gods Word in Spirit and Truth their wives run the church and want to run the men . They laugh and say God made man the head of the church but the neck turns the man's head ? As women laugh about controlling their men .

See the thing is, Pastor MD is is not twisting the Biblical narrative, but instead of saying the 'spirit of jezebel' Ashtoreth (compound/pural) which is the same as Asherah, Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite, fact is, the word 'demon' you will not find in scripture, evil and unclean, shade, daemon. Hell there is no such word in Hebrew it Sheol and Greek Hades/Tartarus (ableit theologically there is a difference. As for real men, Paul said 'it is better for a man not marry, but not all me are like me, but to avoid sin such men should rather marry then being sexually immoral' to paraphrase, but this you do not hear, why? Yes I men are men and women women, I agree, Lev, Roman, Jude, Cor is clear on this but Jesus was did not rebuke men for not being married, both sides should be addressed. Real men are men who surrender to Jesus obey his commandments, take a stand, protect not fear to forfeit their lives 'no greater deed then he who sacrifices his live for a friend', but marriage is NOT a must neither having children, intergrity...

Jezabel is the man of the house.

love the message. But the spirit of Jezebel has no gender. so please please stop elaborating in it it being female

David and Bathsheba got what they wanted in the moment. Satan gave them it. God permitted them to chase what they wanted. Got DIDNT bless David and Bathshebas marriage. It was created in Sin and God DOESNT bless sin.

Can't believe this man is still teaching and still has a following.

Is this what Jesus wants you to focus on?

Pretty sad message. Jesus builds the church. It's His bride. When it's man's church people in the order of Constantine. The shepherds lord it over the flock.

The woman is actually a girl.

Why not add an additional 12-15 minutes of commercials and countdowns before your presentation? That nonsense is always such a big draw 🙄. I appreciate the ball cap worn while teaching; Reverence for the pulpit is taboo anyway, right?

This sounds more like personal venting, than a sermon. There is no such thing as a "Jezebel spirit". Show me in Scripture where there is a spirit of Jezebel. She was a real flesh and blood woman. And although she may be a template for women who shipwreck their faith, there is not a spirit named "Jezebel". This is why your credibility takes big hits. Stick to the Scriptures, not pop Christian culture.

this music at the beginning is very annoying...aah please remove it...rather hear you preach
