ARE THERE DEMONIC SPIRITS IN CONGRESS?

Michael Brown blasts spirit of Jezebel inflicting current America

As reported by Charisma News, during his opening prayer last Thursday morning, “Rev. Pat Conroy, chaplain for the U.S. House of Representatives, cast out ‘spirits of darkness’ from Congress.” But are there literal “spirits of darkness” that need to be driven out from the chambers of Congress? Of course!

There are #demonicspirits all over the world, especially in places of influence and power. Why wouldn’t they be active in our halls of Congress? As pointed out by Rep. Steven Smith (Rep., Georgia) in a tweet to President Trump, “There are a lot of evil spirits in this world, sir.”

The Charisma article notes that Rev. Conroy began his prayer by stating that, “This has been a difficult and contentious week in which darker spirits seem to have been at play in the people’s house.” Conroy then proceeded to “cast out all spirits of darkness from this chamber, spirits not from You.”

He continued, “I cast out the spirit of discouragement, which deadens the hope of those who are of good will. I cast out the spirit of petty divisiveness, which clouds the sense and the desire to be of fruitful productivity in addressing the issues more appropriately before this House. I cast out any sadness brought on by the frustration of dealing with matters detrimental to the honorable work each member has been called to engage in.”

He also prayed for an environment of unity “so that any spirit of darkness might have no place in our midst.”

Now, I can’t comment on which demonic spirits are or are not at work in Congress, nor can I comment on whether Rev. Conroy’s prayer was effective.

But I can say that demons are real, that they are destructive and divisive, and that they help carry out their master Satan’s plans on the earth.

As Paul wrote, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12, ESV)

He was not exaggerating. We are in a spiritual battle, and the spiritual realm is real.

There are angels and demons in the unseen realm as surely as there are rocks and trees in the visible realm. And these angels and demons have direct impact on the world in which we live.

That doesn’t mean that we focus on them. And it certainly doesn’t mean that we abdicate our own responsibility, as in, “The devil made me do it.”

We alone are responsible for our choices and actions. And we alone are to blame for the wrong things we do, no matter how much Satan and his minions may have tempted us.

But we would be foolish to ignore the realities of the spiritual realm. Jesus certainly didn’t, regularly casting demonic spirits out of people. The apostles certainly didn’t, also casting out demonic spirits and urging us to resist Satan (for the latter, see especially James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8-9). Paul also wrote that we should not be outwitted by Satan, “for we are not ignorant of his designs” (2 Corinthians 2:11).

That applies both individually and corporately, as we understand that Satan intends to destroy people, both on a personal and a national level.

In a future article, I intend to tell a wild (but very true) story about my personal encounter with what you could call the spirit of Jezebel.

For the moment, though, let me explain how the light went on for me while writing my newest book “Jezebel’s War With America: The Plot to Destroy Our Country and What We Can Do to Turn the Tide.” This speaks of demonic attacks on the nation as a whole.

To explain, I saw in the #Bible that this wicked queen named Jezebel was associated with idolatry, murder, sexual immorality and sorcery. I saw how she emasculated men, intimidated by fear and silenced the prophets.

You could call her the first radical #feminist, and she seemed to be supernaturally empowered, so imposing was her character. At one point, even the mighty prophet #Elijah, one of the most fearless men in recorded history, ran in fear from her threats.

I also saw how the New Testament referred to a #falseprophetess as “Jezebel,” also associating her with #sexualimmorality and idolatry.

Then I looked at the landscape of America today, with the rise in idolatry and the epidemic of porn. With the murderous “shout your abortion” movement.” With the increase in radical feminism and witchcraft. With the emasculating of men and the war on gender. With the silencing of prophetic voices through fear.

Yes, I realized on a national level, it’s #Jezebel once again. The same demonic spirits which operated through this wicked woman are operating again today. And they are doing so in definite, pronounced and aggressive fashion.

We were not dealing with these same issues on these levels one or two generations ago. But now they are everywhere, in #epidemic proportions.

Yet there is no reason to cower in fear. To understand the enemy is to unmask the enemy. And by unmasking the enemy, we can defeat the enemy, in the power of #Jesus’ name, by the Word of God, and in the power of the Spirit.

And should I point out that Representative Smith’s tweet to the president about “evil spirits,” mentioned above, contained a clip from a TV interview I did about Jezebel?

Enough said.

It’s time for spiritual war.

Traits of the Jezebel Spirit

JEZEBEL SPIRIT IN AMERICA

“Of the twenty-two civilizations that have appeared in history, nineteen of them collapsed when they reached the moral state the United States is in now.” -Arnold Joseph Toynbee

Before time runs out, we simply must recognize what is happening to our beloved America, and call upon God to heal our nation. We must repent! See Novena For Our Nation.

CURRENT CONDITION

We know that Sacred Scripture teaches that whole nations can be overrun by a demonic spirit (Rev. 16:13-15; Acts 13:6-9). This can come through any or all of the ruling class, whether that is the ruling political powers that be or through any number of sources of power and influence.

In 2011, Jeffrey Kuhner wrote in the Washington Times:

“For the past 50 years, every major institution has been captured by the radical secular left. The media, Hollywood, TV, universities, public schools, theater, the arts, literature — they relentlessly promote the false gods of sexual hedonism and radical individualism. Conservatives have ceded the culture to the enemy. Tens of millions of unborn babies have been slaughtered; illegitimacy rates have soared; divorce has skyrocketed; pornography is rampant; drug use has exploded; sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS have killed millions; birth control is a way of life; sex outside of wedlock has become the norm; countless children have been permanently damaged — their innocence lost forever — because of the proliferation of broken homes; and sodomy and homosexuality are celebrated openly. America has become the new Babylon” (Jeffrey T. Kuhner, Washington Times, January 20, 2011).

Even as Mr. Kuhner wrote this article, our nation still believed marriage was reserved for a man and woman for the procreation of children. In that very short period of five years, our nation has surrendered to this “ruling class” who continues to advance their narrative. Moreover, we have witnessed our nation’s judicial sanction the ability of men to enter into little girl’s restrooms.

ROOTS OF CONDITION

As quickly as things seem to be deteriorating, many believe the “weakening of the West” has been 700 years in the making.

Shortly after WWII, Richard Weaver published the book, “Ideas Have Consequences.” Weaver’s book traces the deterioration of the West back to the 14th century when, as he says, Western man made an “evil decision.” Influenced by William of Occam’s philosophy of nominalism, the West began it’s spiral downward, having abandoned its belief in transcendent universals:

“The denial of universals carries with it the denial of everything transcending experience. The denial of everything transcending experience means inevitably…the denial of truth. With the denial of objective truth there is no escape from the relativism of ‘man is the measure of all things” (Richard Weaver, Ideas Have Consequences).

No longer “tethered to the transcendent,” we are left to our own ideas of truth. In fact, we end up in the company of such great cynics as Pontius Pilate who retorted, “What is truth?”

By 1951, this “man worshipping” modernism had already contaminated America’s Supreme Court. In “Dennis et al. vs. U.S.” Chief Justice Fred A. Vinson observed:

“Nothing is more certain in modern society than the principle that there are no absolutes ….all concepts are relative.”

Around the same time, Anthony Harrigan pointed to the fierce and subtle movement of the ruling class:

“Modernists are determined to force the acceptance of pornography as medical science, filth as artistic realism, and abnormality as a mere difference of opinion…Though the life of the country is basically decent, Americans are in the hands of a cultural ruling class which…is conducting us to ruin. The amoral ruling class seeks to raise up a ‘liberal-bred barbarian’ motivated by a destructive impulse and unchecked by ‘traditional values and restraints,’ in order to destroy America from within, noted Harrigan” (George H. Nash, The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America)

Dennis Prager points to the Music industry in its mission to produce “liberal-bred barbarians:”

“The music industry, from producers to artists, is largely populated by people who regard social and cultural norms as stifling. Their professional lives are dedicated to lowering that which is elevated, destroying that which uplifts, and to profaning that which is held sacred.”

The liberal-bred barbarianism, described by Prager, is not limited to the music industry. As Jeffrey Kuhner pointed out, it is replete throughout the “ruling class” or, what he refers to as, the major institutions of the “radical secular left.”

COUNTRY CLASS BEWARE!

Some refer to us as the “Country Class.” We are the ones who, by and large, have kept America’s founding Judao-Christian philosophical worldview. We still hold that men are created in the spiritual likeness of God the Father and that all men are therefore subject to His laws. But, that is deteriorating at an alarming rate.

There are two movements spreading like wildfire throughout the Western world. Robert Enright warns:

“There are two over-simplified and very dangerous ideas emerging:

1) There is no personal responsibility because of brain activity which determines how we behave, rendering free will impossible;

2) Social forces of poverty and oppression determine how we behave, rendering free will impossible.

Beware of these over-simplifications of humanity.

Do you see the implication….no really….do you see it? If there is no personal responsibility, then there are no moral offenses…..rendering forgiveness impossible. Why? How can you forgive those who just couldn’t help it?” –Robert Enright

This “relieving anyone of moral responsibility” is the coup de grâce – the “kill punch” – of the ruling class’ modernist movement. Once we accept that we were not created by God in his image – and cease to spend our lives striving to be as perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect – we are left to stand as a soulless human ape who is subject to or “a victim of” his circumstances. Weaver dubbed this way of thinking the “spoiled-child psychology” of modern man, who had “not been made to see the relationship between reward and effort.”

I called this the coup de grâce, because “now” we are in the very place the “ruling class” wants us to be … completely dependent upon them. If we are “just” soulless barbarians, we “can’t help ourselves” … we have “no power” to chase perfection and catch excellence. The ruling class then claims all of the power to “control” us based on our willingness to heed their dictates.

Have we completely lost our drive to strive to the heights of our humanity as children of God? Where is “Honor” any longer?

JEZEBEL SPIRIT IN AMERICA

It is uncanny how much this moment in history resembles the conflict between Elijah and Jezebel; between the power of God and the satanic lie of Baal. Are we under the demonic influence of Jezebel?

Jezebel first appears in 1 Kings 16, when she marries Ahab, king of Israel. Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal, the king and high priest of the Baal worshipping Sidonians. Baal worship was closely associated with obsessive sensuality and often involved sex acts. Jezebel, as a daughter of this perverse kingdom, was raised in an atmosphere where sex was a path to power and influence (sounding familiar yet?).

Ahab, King of Israel, was completely subdued and dominated by Jezebel (a type of modern man?). Jezebel then introduced the worship of Ashtoroth to Israel. This god/goddess was a power-hungry goddess of sensuality. Priestess-prostitutes filled her shrines and serviced her worshippers. The lure of these legal, readily available erotic encounters was more than the men of Israel would resist. By Jezebel’s influence, most Israelites, the northern kingdom, left the worship of God for Baal and Ashtoroth. The prophet Elijah laments that only 7000 men in the entire nation were not swayed by her control …

… How many men have left God, in our times – exchanged the power of supernatural grace for sensual pleasure – by simply clicking on to easy access porn sites? How many men have either abandoned their family or refuse to get married at all?

The Jezebel spirit is born of rebellion (1960s? Now?). The Spirit of Jezebel is basically a controlling spirit working through the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (The counter forces to these are poverty, chastity and obedience).

Other ways a Jezebel spirit can gain power of a nation …

• Puts power and politics ahead of people
• Baal worshippers would propagate child sacrifice (today’s abortion)
• Operates through fear and intimidation (Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals)
• Intolerant of Word of God (Banish God from public sphere, loss of religious freedom)
• Allows seduction to prevail
• Twists truth; Lies
• Usurps the law
• Propagates sorcery; Black magic (New Age, Reiki, crystals, horoscopes, ouija boards, luck charms, etc.)

Is any of this sounding familiar? It should. This almost perfectly describes the Motus Operandi of most of the liberal secular ruling class in power today.

What are our altars to Baal? When we work, not to live, but live to work so that we can buy more material things, we are building an altar to a false god. When we desire popularity or notoriety and pledge to do anything to get that attention, we are building that altar. When we allow drugs, alcohol, pornography or any other addiction to rule our lives, we are putting another brick in the altar that resides within our hearts. When we put others on a pedestal, such as famous athletes, movies stars, or even someone we know personally, we are building an altar to worship someone other than God. When we are constantly worried about how we look, how we are perceived, or how much others like us, we build an altar to ourselves; we become Baal.
