THE
SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL IS REAL
“For first of
all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among
you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies among you, that
they which are approved may be made manifest among you.” (1 Cor. 11:18-19)
“Yea, and all
that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and
seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue
thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of
whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy
scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which
is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
(2 Timothy 3:12-17)
“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; And they shall
turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch
thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full
proof of thy ministry.” (2 Timothy
4:3-5)
“But speak thou
the things which become sound doctrine: That the aged men be sober, grave,
temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. The aged women likewise,
that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given
to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to
be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet,
chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of
God be not blasphemed. Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. In all
things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing
uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that
he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of
you. Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them
well in all things; not answering again; Not purloining, but shewing all good
fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching
us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who
gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto
himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and
exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” (Titus 2:1-15)
“If any be
blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of
riot or unruly. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not
selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy
lucre; But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy,
temperate; Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may
be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.”
(Titus 1:6-9)
“Now I praise
you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I
delivered them to you. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is
Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. …
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and
glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the
woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but
the woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head
because of the angels. … But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such
custom, neither the churches of God.” (1 Corinthians 11:2-3,7-10,16)
“But I suffer not
a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman
being deceived was in the transgression.” (1 Timothy 2:12-14)
“A bishop then
must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour,
given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy
of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well
his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a
man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of
God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the
condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which
are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. Likewise
must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not
greedy of filthy lucre; Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon,
being found blameless. Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers,
sober, faithful in all things. Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife,
ruling their children and their own houses well.” (1 Timothy 3:2-12)
“Unto the woman
he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou
shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he
shall rule over thee.” (Genesis 3:16)
”Wives, submit
yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the
head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the
saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the
wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even
as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might
sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might
present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any
such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to
love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.”
(Ephesians 5:22-28)
“Likewise, ye
wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word,
they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While
they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it
not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of
putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which
is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in
the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy
women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto
their own husbands:” (1 Peter 3:1-5)
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-5)
