8. 1st Corinthians
   • The Message of the Cross
     • For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”…

   • Spiritual Wisdom
     • …And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.…

11. 3 John
    • Diotrephes
      • I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us.
        So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us.
        Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers.

      • But I have a few things against you, because some of you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.

        ( Revelations 2:14-15 ) { Link }
    • To the Church in Thyatira
      • You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess.
        By her teaching she misleads My servants to be sexually immoral and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
        Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling
        ( Revelations 2:21 ) { Link }
    • To the Church in Laodicea
      • …I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other! So because you are lukewarm— neither hot nor cold— I am about to vomit you out of My mouth!

David T. Demola

Exposing the Spirit of Jezebel

1. Spirit of Bitterness
   • Pick up on Spirit of Bitterness
     • That has made some ineffectual vessels of the Gospel
2. Wounded
3. Follow Peace with all men
   • Here Pastor Demola points out that following Peace is in accordance with Holiness
   • I am
     • Some will say I am just being Holy
     • I am just being Truthful Here
   • But, somehow Paul through the compulsion of the Holy Spirit does not disentangle Holiness from Peacefulness
4. Division
   • Whispers behind closed doors
   • I am just giving my opinion
   • Well, we don’t like your opinion when it divides the body of Christ
   • We have the idea of what comes with us, stays with us
     • But, it doesn’t
     • It affects other people, especially those people in our sphere of influence
   • Leading Away
     • Every time we become a perpetrator of these things
     • It can lead people completely away from God
   • Satan’s Tool
     • Seditious Things that the enemies will sow
     • Slander
       • Drive Brothers against Brothers
       • Sisters against Sisters
       • Anytime there is slander, you know who is behind it
       • Drive a wedge between people
5. Anonymous People
   • Getting anonymous letters
   • I do not understand the plight of black people

Prayer

Beloved, if you have been called into ministry, guide yourself and your ministry.

Pray over it, learn to spend time with God, Love of God, and its spirit.

Have it covet and love you.

 

The Spirit of God

1. Probation
   • The Spirit of God forces one to discern God’s probation period and not mistake it for consent
2. Wound
   • The wound that someone could have allowed a Holy God to heal, becomes an untreated wound
   • If left untreated
     • The Devil uses it to cloud ministry
     • Allow Satan’s an Open Door
     • Have the ministrant parcel it with the word of God
     • The ministrant can still carry on ministry, but unfortunately, that same curse can rub off on other people
3. Son of God
   • Son of God beware who you sit under
   • Understand what you are signing up
