    The Jezebel spirit must be preceeded by an Ahab. Jezebels will always look for opportunities to do their demonic things, but they must first find an Ahab, a weak leader - usually a moma's boy who hasn't matured. You don't have to hunt for women with the Jezebel spirit, just find a church with a weak male leader and he will attract her, and her father the devil will drop her off at his doorstep.

    I am not saying that this is true in every case, but it is certainly common today.

    Part 6
    People of God, it's time to pray. Pray that this Jezebel spirit be exposed for what it is and that those that are blinded by it and following it are awakened by the truth of the Word of God. Pray that these sorts of people are sat down and no longer allowed to flourish in the body of Christ and that the true remnant of God be revealed and lifted up before the world. We have totally forgotten that the world is watching this. These marriages are being abandoned and these false leaders are being lifted up to show the world hopelessness and perversion in the house of God. And the very ones we should be reaching are last on our list and now we are occupied by chasing these false prophets and prophetesses as they chase Hollywood, Fame, and Money! What about the sinners yall? What about the people that are on their way to hell? Why are we following Jezebel into the limelight? We should be following the Word and calling out the evil of Jezebel and her agenda, but an effeminate man and a silly women will never do that because they need Jezebel to validate their own selfish ambitions.

    Pray saints for the hour of Christ's return is nigh. If these events don't alarm you enough to make you see that his return is eminent then I don't know what can get your attention. Pray that this whole drama gets reversed and Jezebel loses. That the Weeks can reconcile and these marriages can be God centered and not self centered! That they will get counsel and not pretend to be marital counselors anymore. Pray that I am wrong about the outcome of this and Juanita sees the error of her ways and Thomas Weeks repents and turns to God. We must pray because this ordeal is playing out to truly be Jezebel's Finest Hour.

    3. The so called Bishop that beat her is toast! The man is made to look like the enemy and the woman is of course the victim. I'm not saying he shouldn't look bad, but I'm saying that his side of the story will mean nothing. The silly women that follow this lady don't wanna hear it. The man will be made to look weak and crazy while Jezebel's influence does what it always does. It destroys the credibility of men and undermines the authority of men. Jezebel is controlling this situation and it's a shame. But the bible warns us of this day coming and yet so many will ignore what the Word says for the sake of feeling better about their situations. They follow these junk ministries to make them feel better about the place they are in and the bad decisions they have made in life. So they turn to fables and storytelling ministries that make them feel better like they are, and never change! The Word says it like this: (the message bible) 2 Timothy 3:5 They’ll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they’re animals. Stay clear of these people. These are the kind of people who smooth-talk themselves into the homes of unstable and needy women and take advantage of them; women who, depressed by their sinfulness, take up with every new religious fad that calls itself “truth.” They get exploited every time and never really learn.

    Fast forward to now and what do you see? Jezebel has spun her web. Jezebel's plan all along was to build confidence in marriage and then destroy all hope for a successful marriage. God said that marriage was a "good thing" so the Jezebel spirit had to prove God wrong and make marriages between so called believers look hopeless. Understand that I do not condone men striking women under any circumstance, but I'm not crazy either. I understand from several sources that have witnessed the fights and brawls of the Weeks and this is not the first time they have had a physical altercation. She even admitted to using foul language in bed, so I'm sure she knew how to work them words to get this man to attack her. I'm not saying he should have, but I am saying that this was all the plan of Jezebel. You see, now Juanita can accomplish 3 feats with one shot. Since this man attacked her, she can now do what Jezebel wanted in the beginning of all of this. Here are the 3 things:

    1. She can end that lie of a marriage that so many folks bought into. Just like that, it's done. No one will question her and every will sympathize with her when she ends it. Even those that bought the video will forgive and forget because if a man is abusing her, she has the right to leave right? No one will ask these questions: a. If she is a true prophetess, wouldn't she know this was not the man to marry? b. If she took the vows to stay with him and is the all powerful prayer warrior she claims to be, can't she just pray this thing back into shape? Remember, the marriage was over before this fight! c. Why did she post the pictures of her bruises on her own myspace page the day after? Who shows their bruises to the world after a private altercation?

    2. She can now capitalize on those bruises. A conference on battered women and how you don't need a man! I can just see it now. Oprah, Tyra, Larry King, and more. Those little bruises are worth a bunch of money when you are in the business of exploiting issues for gain. Get ready for her ministry to go into the stratosphere and books on battered women will be written. Forget the marriage stuff, this is worth more money because most of her following are single, hurt, black women, so this will play right into her hands. Get ready for the "What's Love Got To Do With It 2" conference that will eventually be a movie starring the prophetess??

    Then, after her fallout with her so called "covering" TD Jakes, she began calling him out and traveling around preaching against him. But once she saw that he was able to shut her engagements down with his power over weak minded, selfish pastors and ministries, she came to him and repented by handing him her shoes and all that foolish mess. And after he laid hands on her and said "Daughter, thy sins are forgiven thee" she was back on the money trail, ready to take the spirit of Jezebel to new heights. (I didn't know we had the power to forgive sin like Christ, but I guess if we get enough money, folks will believe we have it!). So, after this, she began hosting TBN and got her clearance from the Christian Mafia to travel around and rob people of their hard earned money. But there was another level that Jezebel needed to rise to and that was to destroy God's plan for success in marriage. Even though she had a failed marriage and Thomas Weeks was currently IN a marriage, the 2 had to come together to make this happen. So, they got married and had a Million Dollar Wedding that they sold and marketed. Now understand, demonic Hollywood couples that have multi million dollar weddings don't sell their DVD's, but the silly women, laden with sins, will buy anything and she knew this.

    By now, her mixed audience (white and black folks) had finally turned all black, as they always do. Single black women, and women that are married to weak men began to flock after this Jezebel spirit that was operating through her. And she worked her magic to build a multi million dollar empire. But that's still not enough for Jezebel. Jezebel has to destroy the prophets of God remember? She has to make the men look bad and raise herself above the authority of men so she can lead. So, the marriage conferences started after the first year of that farce of a marriage. I remember the first conference they had and I even called to try to talk to them about it because I couldn't understand how they had Bishop Noel Jones as the keynote speaker (who is divorced) and Tonex as the psalmist (who is divorced)! That was a bunch of junk and mess and I just couldn't understand why so many silly folks was following after this. But they began to bankroll these conferences and fill the auditoriums as they discussed private, lewd behaviors that they shared together.

    I remember Thomas Weeks saying that he loves it when Juanita uses dirty, cuss words during sex! And Juanita stated on several occasions that she would get mad and throw bricks at his car, objects at him and really needed anger management when dealing with him! All of this was playing before the world like a dirty soap opera and so many bought into it. So many silly women and effeminate men flocked after this fiasco and really believed it was God. But I assure you, it is the spirit of Jezebel!

    First, this women confesses her sins before everyone and goes in depth to describe her sexual appetite and her carnal craving in her message No More Sheets. She then states that God does not allow her to wear makeup, pants, or any kind of outfits that will show her figure because the way she was would rise up in her again. So, she basically began preaching in a choir robe with a small Florida Evan's type afro, free of weave, perms, curls, and gel. But then, as the money poured in, the look began to change. I guess God changed his mind because her appearance began to reflect a different personality. But did any of the silly following of hers question her? NO. You don't question the prophetess, as she stated on TBN. "Don't you know you are all just a bunch of dumb sheep?" Those are her exact words, not mine. I would never call the people of God dumb sheep.

    Jezebel's Finest Hour
    WARNING: EX Ministries and G. Craige Lewis is against all forms of abuse by men and women. Verbal, physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse are of the devil and we stand against it all. The following blog is not an endorsement of any form of abuse towards women, but in fact, an expose of how one form of abuse leads to others. Please read with caution so that you will not feel that we are siding with anyone that abuses women but we are against all forms of it whether it be spiritual, verbal, or physical.

    Ok, where do I start.

    As if the body of Christ needs more silly drama played out before the world, now things are just getting out of hand. We are seeing the end of all things and the false prophets exposed for who they are and yet the silly women (and men) that follow them are charged up and ready to defend the foolishness of their celebrity heroes! Why are they ready to follow this foolishness wherever it may take them? Because the bible said they would! 2 Timothy 4:3 says, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; In other words, they will heap upon themselves teachers that will give them drama and entertainment so they can forget about their own state and live out their fantasies and dreams through these false prophets and story telling preachers.

    What am I talking about? I'm talking about false prophetess Bynum and her circus of a ministry that has so many silly women fooled it is ridiculous. This women has spread her witchcraft all over the body of Christ and has used her Jezebel anointing to conjure up a demonic influence that has put her on every major platform that our so called church has. She has bewildered the effeminate Bishops and manipulated the minds of silly women to put herself up and basically do whatever she wants without being challenged by any of the so called "leaders" of the body of Christ. But I got news for you. Those that lead her don't lead me! Those that are bewildered and under her Jezebel spell don't speak for me. I believe in the bible and I believe in Jesus. I don't submit to Jezebel and I will never allow her witchcraft to put me under. But so many have it makes me sad. Let's look at how this all started and where it is now and you will get a good understanding of why it is now.

    This issue is covered by several subjects in the Bible:
    1. Love and submission in marriage goes both ways. It is commanded in Ephesians.
    2. Teachers are held to a stricter judgment according to Paul, so be careful if you are a Bible teacher (as both Weeks and Bynum are). They are in the public's eye. Their failures, while human, have a greater impact and can cause weaker one's to stumble and cause the world to blaspheme the name of Christ because of us.
    3. Paul exhorted the Corinthian church about taking our problems to worldly human courts. He encouraged us to settle such disputes within the Church in godly counsel.
    4. The church is the body of Christ on Earth. As a body, we do judge the issues that arise among us. This is a basic precept in the N.T. that should not be overlooked. The "touchy-feely" statements about "not being a judge" is not applicable to such visible matters between church leaders.

    Peace of Christ to all.

    I personaly believe as with my ownlife that we must as Christians know or sure that the oerson we unite with is infact the one that Gd has out us with and noot our attemt to make that one the one God should accept. This is not to say that these two people are not God's union. With that I add that if we are united with the irgt spouse, we are in a spiritual bond that the Hol Spirit knit together and cannot be unwoven. THe word tells us if we seerate, meaning Christans, that we are to remain single if reconciliation doesn't take place. What God put together let not man take apart. I think the solution to our dilemsa is based on are we in the perfect wil of God. If we are then it is not our problem how it ends up, but God's. If the devil launched an atack on America on 911 that killed a number o fpeople we stil haven't been able to estimate, what is a marriage to him? He will stp at nothing to try to destroy God's work. It s purel up to us who we let use us. God s able to reoair any breach..that is no lost that he cannot restore and no human issue that He is not able to master. Differences in a marriage?, Anger in the belly of His children? Jealousy? Insecurity? Lack of confidence? Lack? God is the answer to all that. So what is the problem? We don't give them t HIm. We hod ont stuff that wil eventually separate us form God and destroy us.

    Million dollar wedding? Not Biblical. Woman preacher? What happened to,"I do not allow a woman to teach or have authority over a man?

    Itching ears is what you have. And whether you like it or not, getting beat up by your husband is not grounds for divorce. God says He does not change. Nor does His Word.

    I'm surprised that Jakes thinks the church should not be judging this matter because the secular courts will. It's not a good day when the church has to hand over judgement on matters of morality to the world. Yes. let there be mercy, but let it be together with, not at the expense of, righteous standards. Is there no one in spiritual authority over these leaders who will stand up and say, "Listen, we love you, but what you have done is wrong." Christians should find out to whom the pastor is accountable before they join a church. It's very sad what has happened with this particular couple, but by far the greatest tragedy of all is the damage to the testimony of Christ.

    I disagree with Jakes. The Church is called to judge. We have abdicated our role to hold those within the Body of Christ accountable for their conduct. That is how Weeks got away with this. As a matter of fact the four fold tenants of the role of the pastor as identified through the Areformed Movement adheres that 1 duty of the office of the pastor is to enforce church discipline.

    As I was praying to the Lord He said to me that Christians are the only ones that kill their wounded. These women are hurting, emotionally, and spiritually, their marriages have crumbled, their personal character and ministrys are being attacked. And many Christians are sitting and passing judgment on leadership with hardened hearts instead of praying spirits. Remember the word says when you judge YOU will be judged in the same manner. It doesn't matter what Juanita Bynum did. Never ever should a man strike or beat up a woman. My Bible says that a husband is supposed to love his wife like Christ loved the church. This is another thing that the Lord has shown me is the cruelty and hardness of mens hearts especially to females all over the world and it is considered exceptable.

    I am praying that Juanita and Paula Whites broken and wounded hearts are healed and they have the peace of God and the joy of the Lord. I pray that God sustain them in this hour of trial and tribulation.

    Some trusted a spiritual leader only to find out he was hiding sexual immorality. And others were simply browbeaten and manipulated by insecure, untested people who should never have been placed in church leadership.

    There’s no way to eliminate all the risks of being hurt in church. Stuff happens. God is perfect, but He uses flawed people to carry out His mission. Here are a few key steps we can take to provide better safeguards and minimize church casualties:

    1. Demand accountability. We live in a day of freelance Christianity. It seems anyone can slap a ministerial title on a business card and incorporate a nonprofit organization. Then—voila!—he opens a church in a hotel ballroom.

    I’m not against people having such freedoms. Some of the best churches in the world started in hotels or strip malls. But would you blindly trust a doctor who opened a makeshift operating room in a shopping center after buying a bogus medical license from a diploma mill on the Internet?

    The new church on the block may turn out to be a great place. But before you join, find out if the pastor is accountable to a reputable church network. God’s ministers are not self-appointed, and spiritual authority can’t be bought with a credit card. Yellow lights should start flashing when you learn that any minister is a lone ranger.

    2. Value character more than charisma. People join churches for many reasons. Some love the music. Others are stirred by the preaching. In charismatic circles we often judge a church by its “anointing level,” which apparently is determined by measuring the volume of the pastor’s sermon, then multiplying this by the number of times people fall on the floor at the altar.

    We should expect the Holy Spirit’s power to flow in church. But the biblical recipe for the anointing is not a haphazard mixture of shouting, emotional highs and spiritual quick fixes. It requires that church leaders exhibit humility, integrity, marital faithfulness and theological soundness (see 1 Tim. 3:1-7). Any “anointing” without these ingredients is suspect.

    3. Keep your eyes on Jesus. We are living in a stormy season in which church leaders are falling at an alarming rate. During my 14 years at Charisma I have never seen such spiritual turbulence, and my prediction is that it will get worse in the latter part of 2007 before it gets better. High-profile ministries will be shaken to their foundations because of divorce, moral failure, heresy and financial impropriety.

    All we can do is buckle our seat belts, reset our focus and hold on tightly to what we know is true. If you are worshiping a Christian superstar then your faith is on a wobbly foundation. Trust Jesus alone and you will not be disappointed.
