1 Kings 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."
2 Kings 9:30
"Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window.

Yesterday, I shared with you about an outing I had with some young women. I love being with young people. They are so precious and powerful, innocent and intense. They are passionate about everything they do and all that they believe. As they speak, I am totally captivated by their stories. The freshness in which they see everything inspires me to preach the Gospel, and empower these young people with the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
While listening to this young believer, I picked up how passionate she was about getting right with God, and knowing truth. So, when she began to learn about spiritual warfare and demonic spirits, she searched herself. She repented, and was embracing whatever truth she could grasp. In her zeal to repent, and her love for Jesus, she confessed her sins aloud to those she felt were more mature than her. Only problem was, she didn't have the whole truth. I love that, as she learned she repented, even if she didn't know the entire story.
That's where I pick up this message today, I am sharing with you in this Blog. This young innocent girl confessed to her Methodist church ladies that she had a Jezebel Spirit. Then, she went home and continued to read about this spirit, when she got home. To her total surprise, she realized Jezebel was also a seducing spirit. She was shocked. Seducing spirit she thought, "That's not me! I just told all the ladies at church I thought I had a Jezebel Spirit and I'm happily married." She was devastated. She told her husband what she'd done and wanted desperately to take it back.
As she shared her story, I wailed laughing, (with her not at her). This beautiful young believer in her zeal to be right with God, threw herself on the slaughtering table. Oh, for the Mothers of Zion to arise and pick up these young women and brush them off and tell them they don't have to be ashamed, or misunderstood. Though, it was funny at that moment, because she is now part of our (Framily meaning Friends and Family), she is not ashamed. She could laugh at her own immaturity. I believe she is going to be a little powerhouse for God. I learned so much. I saw my young self. I too, once loved Jesus with a reckless abandon of all that people thought of me. All that mattered and still matters today, is that I am right with God. What about you? What matters to you?

ACTION STEP: Get right with God. So what, if you don't know all the "Christianeze" (Christians talk.) When we start out with God we don't know all the do's and don'ts of the Kingdom? We may not know our Bibles fully? But, if our hearts are pierced, then, let them be pierced with the love and word of God! Let's get right with God. Let's just be upfront and in your face with embracing truth. We can figure it all out later. For now, let's just love God recklessly and passionately!
