The Spirit Of Ahab

This is a book that I wrote to shed some light and give balance to the "Jezebel Understanding".
I have often taught that without Ahab there would be no Jezebel. I actually published it a couple of years ago. It is a short book, but it is filled with revelation about the spiritual problems in men's lives. I hope it brings revelation and understanding. Please check it out. Feedback is welcomed.

THE SPIRIT OF AHAB by Pastor Stephen Darby (Copywrite 2007, River Publishing)
Introduction
From countless messages, sermons and movements the question is still not answered: WHAT IS WRONG WITH MEN. This is the posture from which this book was inspired. Many who read will find answers. Some will be enlightened. Others may become startled. But this question will be answered.

Pastor Stephen Darby

Jezebel: Power Behind the Throne.
Jezebel, Jezebel, Jezebel! The name has been identified with some of the worst events in biblical history. There are dozens of books written about this cunning and divisive woman. Her life, deeds and influence have been well documented. From the boardroom of corporate America to the pedestal in the greatest cathedrals, her story of manipulation and power seeking has been uncovered. With all this negative press, her influence is stronger than ever. The emasculating sitcoms, sensual music and pornography industry show the control of Jezebel and her harlot system is still flourishing. Her dominance is the cause of the divorce crisis in the church. Her tenacious attitude is the motivating force behind the abortion tragedy. As evil and treacherous as the spirit of Jezebel has been and still is, her power source seems to have been overlooked. Everything that Jezebel has done, she has done by using a man’s authority. The true power of Jezebel is a king who relinquishes his throne.

A Man After His Own Heart
1Ki 16:30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
1Ki 16:31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
1Ki 16:32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
1Ki 16:33 And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
The word that best describes King Ahab is selfishness. Everything he did, from marrying into a forbidden culture to going to war against Ben Hadad three times, to taking Naboth’s vineyard was for his own self interests. Selfish ambition is at the heart of men with an Ahab spirit. They are only passionate about what concerns them. This egotistic personality draws them to a woman with a Jezebel spirit. When Ahab’s marries Jezebel’s it is not for love, it is a political partnership. Her willingness to use manipulation, control and sexual vice suits the ambitions of a man who wants his pleasures at any cost. For fulfilling his lust and greed she gets her heart’s desire: power and control. Ahab men need the driving force of Jezebel. A woman under the influence of a Jezebel spirit has many tactics and schemes that are useful to a man that puts his desires first. He can get what he wants without the responsibility of how he gets it. These types of marriages are nothing more than the exchanging of favors. They have an unspoken trade agreement: fulfill my lust and I will give you my power (authority). This union is a match made in hell. It is fire and gasoline or a match and gunpowder. This volatile mix will eventually explode and leave a landscape of destroyed children and followers in the aftermath.
Forever the Politician
When we study the life of Ahab we find that he was “forever the politician”. Ahab’s are masters at political situations because they are great compromisers. The absence of absolutes allow them to shift sides depending on who will further their agenda. They intentionally talk between the lines so it will be easy to backtrack later. Lying is a lifestyle. Dishonesty is their main weapon. Men who operate this way shy away from masculine authority. They will have a deep fear of godly men. Strong male authority exposes the spirit they operate from. Men of solid moral character are seen as dictators or drill sergeants. Around this kind of authority, Ahab men feel inadequate and they will seek out men that are extremely weak and inferior. They are not truly masculine; however they study masculinity so they can play the part.

The Ahab Connection
The core of homosexuality is rooted in the Ahab spirit. When a boy is not mentored and disciplined by masculine authority he will mimic the person who he feels is strong. Because it is usually the mother who corrects and disciplines the children, he will begin to identify with her. Once this process is in effect, the boy will use the tactics of femininity while also using the vigor or force of masculinity. The result will be a man who has masculine ambitions with feminine procedure. Feminine power and ability mixed with male passion mutates. The hunter becomes the hunted. Homosexuality is the result of a man using female ways to satisfy male needs. The task that God gave Adam was the responsibility to rule over Eve and his children. The position that God gave Eve was submission to Adam. The women’s needs are met when she submits to the man. The man gets his needs met when he leads and takes responsibility for the women and children. Homosexual men are the result of exchanging authority for submission. The reason God cursed Adam was he “hearkened unto the voice of his wife”. In essence, he submitted when he should have stood in authority. The Ahab spirit uses the same principle even if a man is not homosexual. But because Ahab is lust driven, he will eventually battle, if not succumb to this type of perversion.
The Mother Wife
1Ki 21:2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
1Ki 21:3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
1Ki 21:4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
1Ki 21:5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
1Ki 21:6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
1Ki 21:7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
1Ki 21:8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth. 1King 21
The worst tragedies in history were frequently perpetrated when men did nothing. Passivity is the character of Ahab men. They sit idly by and duck responsibility. Doing nothing is the profound tactic that gets them their way. Passivity is their password for Jezebel to “do her stuff”. These men will seem strong, even regal while in front of people, but retreat to child-like behavior behind closed doors. Their sulking empowers the Jezebel in their life. His weakness affirms her necessity. This is her justification for her rebellion and treachery: HE IS WEAK. When Ahab’s are in this pitiful state, it becomes an opportunity for Jezebel to gain more power. The weaker he is, the more her will is done. Total dependence is the goal of the Jezebel. His passivity and her control will shift their relationship from husband and wife, to mother and son. When Ahab and Jezebel’s relationship reached that pinnacle, it was time for judgment.

The Need to Succeed
1Ki 21:25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
When a man enters into the mother/child relationship with his wife, it destroys God’s order for the home or ministry. In this type of atmosphere God’s will for healthy offspring won't be produced. The children and followers are thrust into confusion as these two personalities merge in a twisted exhibition of leadership. After this mutation Ahab remains king in word only. Jezebel has his authority and the ear of the elders. She is in total control. When Ahab’s recognize that they have given their authority away, they will need to make up for their emasculated feeling by conquest. Ahab continued to fight even when the prophet told him he would die. Seeking fame and grandeur consumes Ahab men. The thought is: THE MORE I SUCCEED, THE MORE POWER I HAVE, THE MORE I CAN HIDE MY INADEQUECY. Even Jacob the son of Isaac, after being manipulated to trick his father and brother by Rebecca his mother, was driven by this spirit. He lost the love of his life, Rachael, because his ambitions would not be set aside even for the birth of his child. By the time he stops his wagon and notices her in labor she is dead. Rachael died trying to follow him.

The Living Dead
Most men who suffer under the spirit of Ahab are fatalistic. They secretly feel that they must prove their manhood even if it means losing their life. Suicide is sometimes fanaticized because this is the ultimate act of “giving up or submission. The Ahab spirit is behind the gangs and hip hop culture’s fascination with death and murder. They feel so emasculated and worthless as men that dying becomes easier than living.

Dying To Change

1Ki 22:30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
1Ki 22:31 But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
1Ki 22:32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
1Ki 22:33 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
1Ki 22:34 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
1Ki 22:35 And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.

Men that suffer from the Ahab spirit will attempt many exterior alterations throughout their life. From the latest cars, to the latest clothes, to a new wife or moving to a new city. Their disguise will not change who they are. The feelings of inadequacy, emasculation and fatality still remain. Ahab’s life played out like the end of a sad movie. It seems that the idea of changing who he was came too late and was not internal. The failure of men with the spirit of Ahab is the inability to change. They continue trying to fulfill their emptiness with fame, lust and the adoration of a woman that can never be satisfied.
The Cure: HONOR
Paul admonished men to “love their wives”, but he also instructed wives to “respect or honor their husbands”. The main need of men is respect and honor, not sex as many continue to teach. Everything men do is for honor in some way or another. The need to be honored is the life motivation for most men. The Ahab spirit cannot attach to a man that is honored for who he is rather than what he does. The cycle of the Ahab spirit begins when a boy is not affirmed by an honorable source. If this doesn’t happen he will begin to seek it for himself, based upon his performance. Once he becomes performance oriented the Ahab spirit can gain control and puppet him by fear of rejection and dishonor. This is why Jezebel women are drawn to men who are gifted but weakened by lack of respect. The void of genuine affirmation is soon filled with her perverted opinion and the puppet/master relationship begins. His need for honor and respect will only be filled by trading his authority for her affirmation.

A Prayer for Men
Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I repent for selfishness, lust, greed and yielding to the spirit of Ahab. I renounce that spirit and command it to be bound and cast from me and my life. I ask you to heal me and affirm me from your word. I ask you to build me up as a man and guide me into right relationships. I wait upon you and your timing and stop being driven to succeed. Jesus break every soul tie that has developed with people that have a Jezebel spirit. I pray that you set them free also and then build our relationship on the correct foundation. Jesus, I ask you to forgive me for hurting my wife, children and others while under the influence of the Ahab spirit. I ask you to send me strong godly men to mentor me and walk with me as I trust you for total healing and deliverance.
In Jesus name, Amen



A Prayer for Women
Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I repent and ask you set me free from the spirit of Jezebel and its influence. I renounce the spirit of Jezebel cast it from me and my life in Jesus name. Remove my bitterness towards men and heal the wounds that I have suffered in relationships. Help me to affirm my spouse and respect his leadership and authority. Help me to affirm my sons and not manipulate them. I ask you to make me a godly example to my daughters. I ask you to remove the fear of trusting and impart in me a greater faith in your ability to keep my heart. I ask you you to send me strong godly women to mentor me and walk with me as I trust you for total healing and deliverance.

In Jesus Name, Amen

To all that has an ear to hear; let them hear about the good news on transfer factor.

The Lord wants you to listen to this call !!

It is important to your people that they know about this to help then to get well.
Lets cut down the numbers on the prayer list and in the obituary column.

I had a private dinner at home of the world's foremost gynecological/oncologist Dr. Duane Townsend in Salt Lake City, Utah (He co-authored the book that they use to train gynecologist.)

Dr. Townsend showed us his office, located in another portion of his home. He re-emphasized that there is no other substance that has the immunological research behind it as transfer-factor and neither is there any other substance that has the job, within the human body, as transfer-factor. He stated that he has over one thousand, of his patients taking transfer-factor, as well as, he and his family. (get his book in bookstores.... "A Maverick Of Medicine Speaks To Women")

Now, you can hear about this miracle substance anytime (24/7) on a recorded message by Ron Knisely (research analyst)
