JEZABEL
I found in the Strong’s concordance that Jezabel from the book of Revelation was into antinomianism which essentially is lawlessness. She taught Christians to eat food sacrificed to idols. This was a false teaching that caused people to disobey a particular portion of scripture. Chances are that almost everybody has some doctrine error but the difference is the Jezabel spirit purposely and intentionally teaches doctrine error. This would be a false teacher and this leads to a chaotic lifestyle.
RELIGIOUS
The religious spirit many times is synonymous with legalism meaning that you have to follow rules to keep your salvation orto stay on good terms with God. A symbol of this would be the Pharisees who had no relationship with God but only knew the words of scripture. Actually, they didn't follow scripture but made their own rules.
So this would be a spirit that creates rules that are not even in the Bible and then says you have to do them to stay on good terms with God. This creates a burdensome and heavy life.
Also, it also a religious person could be someone who does not have a meaningful relationship with the Lord. So, you can see that there are some similarities between the religous and Jezabel spirit. They make their own rules.
GRACE
The gospel teaches us that when we have a relationship with God we can obey the Lord because the Spirit of God helps us - even in our weakness. We all sin in various ways but grace shows us that we do not seek to sin and that grace covers sin.
In fact, we desire that everyone would come to a right relationship. Why? Because it is the best and freest way to live. It is the abundant life.
WITCHCRAFT
Well then where does witchcraft fit in? It is more on the Jezebel end of the spectrum. The witchcraft spirit teaches people to disobey and hate God. Sometimes there are witches in the church. Jezabel from the book of Revelation may have been a witch. So, don't be surprised if there are witches in the church.
High level Jesuits are dissemblers who enter the church. They pretend to be Christians and act like Christians but they are there to slowly damage the church. The current pope is a high level Jesuit and has taken the Jesuit oath.
Example: Three years ago I went to the TC House of Prayer and some friendly woman gave me a ring that I did not wear. The next thing I know I am disoriented. The next sermon I hear is about a witch giving someone a ring. So, I go home a break the power off of the ring through the blood of Jesus and cancel the soul tie. I am not saying that everyone who gives you jewelry is a witch but if it causes chaos and confusion in your life than it is likely.
WATCHMAN
Why do I write about these three particular demonic spirits? Well, they are the spirits that do the most damage in a church. Honestly, every church should have a real watchman to keep these spirits out. The watchman opens the doors to the things of God and closes the door to the things that are not of God. John 10:3.
Who is the watchman? The Holy Spirit is the Watchman but there are people in the church called as watchmen and women. These are intercessors and prophets and they keep the sheepfold safe. They are like pastoral prophets. They are the ones that see the wolves in sheep clothing.
Shouldn't we pray for and try to evangelize the witches? Sure, but how do you know who the witches are if there are wolves in sheep clothing. This isn't a Salem witch hunt but a real issue because witches do enter into real thriving ministries and snuff them out and cause damage. So, to keep from dying, genuine watchman are there to protect.
