It is a common knowledge that there are Christians, both leaders and ordinary ones, who are ensnared by this sin of lust to pornography. Many were able to overcome this sin and come clean and victorious, but there are many who are still enslaved and struggling for freedom from their sins that Jesus promised.

''There is an epidemic of addiction in the church right now. Internet pornography, online affairs, self-injury, smoking, swearing, drugs, sexual perversion, alcohol, eating disorders, adultery, you name it; it's just as active in Christian's lives, than in others. How do I know this? I have served in the Christian addiction recovery ministry for over 15 years now, and I run an online Christian recovery group with over a thousand people in it."
Under the LABEL of "Prophetic Messages" I will include sometimes in my blog messages -given by the Lord to worthy Christians- that touch the theme of my blog.

I saw a Jezebellic spirit coming against many in the body of Christ, especially the prophets and prophetic voices. I saw this spirit like an octopus and its tentacles were attempting to hinder the senses of the people of God.
Two tentacles were attempting to cover the eyes, two tentacles were attempting to block the ears and two tentacles were attempting to hinder the tongue. This spirit has been hitting eyes because of the greater vision the Lord is releasing, especially to the prophets and prophetic voices. It has been hitting ears, because the Lord is leading His people into deeper levels of hearing His voice. This spirit has been hitting mouths to bring a silencing of the messages on His heart right now that is releasing the revelation of His love at new levels through many different forms that is awakening the people of God to who they are and His love like never before.
This spirit is attacking mouths in worship leaders to as new realms of worship is being entered into that is breaking the people of God free and deeper into new levels of intimacy and realms of breakthrough. A whole new revelation of waging war in worship is being released.
This spirit had been sent against many believers causing extreme fatigue, an overwhelming feeling of wanting to give up and run and a deep emptiness or despair for no reason, amongst other things. Many have been wondering what is wrong with them because of this sudden onslaught of things that is "out of the ordinary".
This spirit was coming after many and leaving them with a feeling of such deep fatigue like the life was being sucked out of them. A real unexplainable feeling of being drained. I saw many being hit with these 'feelings' especially in times of pressing in deeper into the secret place. One on one communion with the Lord was being greatly affected.
Do not go chasing after this spirit but know that it is being unmasked by the Lord and you are taking new ground. You are moving forward into new things and greater victories, greater breakthroughs and the enemy isn't happy.
I felt the Lord saying that the greatest weapon against this spirit is to worship. Lift up the name of Jesus. Declare His blood over you and DO NOT FEAR!!! Declare the victory that is yours. War in your worship.
Do not be put off by its tactics but know that you are victorious and the Lord is leading you into manifestations of greater victory. Worship your way through the warfare and you will not only see this 'spirit' flee, but the very areas where it has attempted to hinder, you will receive a greater awakening of spiritual senses.
Where this spirit has been attacking the Lord is adding increase to as you wage war in worship. You are taking new ground. Look not at the spirit and its tactics, look at the face of Jesus and delight in Him. Lift up your hands and worship Him. Press deeper in Him, for your intimacy with Him and your rest in Him is your greatest weapon.
I believe the Lord is unmasking this spirit to reveal to His people a deeper revelation of Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
The people of God are moving into new territories, taking greater ground and that is why this overwhelming sense to run, to give up and extreme fatigue has hit hard.
There is a higher level of warfare happening for many right now, but I felt the Lord saying to those being hit hard "glorious encounters with Me are before thee!!!"
Shake it off in worship, new levels of victorious breakthrough await you!

I think this word from the Lord to me will strengthen many at this time to help them understand the process that we're in.
The Holy Spirit told me
as we bore the image of the earthy fallen man, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man (Jesus). The beautiful thing about the gospel is that this heavenly Man came to conquer the earthy man through a demonstration of divine love and this is exactly the work of God unto sanctification in our lives.
He lovingly and affectionately works out that which Christ has already accomplished on our behalf. His victory becomes a reality more and more as we follow Him out of darkness into the freedom of His glorious light. All darkness in us becomes visible the closer we move to God, then when exposed, it is expelled through a demonstration of His conquering love. His delivering power progressively rescues His children from the grip and the influence of darkness in every area of their lives as they lovingly and willingly submit and yield to the divine influence.
It is never a matter of cruelty as the enemy would want us to believe but in fact a beautiful demonstration and a rescue from the powers which threatens to destroy us and keep us in bondage. The destiny and purpose that God has for you requires for you to be mature and completely whole and healed of all cracks in your foundation otherwise you will not be able to handle and cope with the weight of glory which you are called to walk in". Therefore we need to embrace the pressure of our trials because it strengthens and restores our foundations. We are not ready to come out of the furnace until we can dance with Him in the furnace.
"The key to transformation is yielding in trust to the LORD’s hand and touch - instead of fighting to do the work in your own human strength and effort. You cannot transform yourself into the image of the Lord. It is impossible! But what is impossible for you, is possible with Me. While you yield, keep your heart focused and connected to the Father’s heart. You must sever all ties to false perceptions of Us - religious, fear-based nonsense that erects a false god in your heart and separates you from what is true and holy. What you are to persevere in is a God-conscious dependence, surrender, and trust. This is the path to glorious transformation that I Myself will work in you."

If you know your enemy and have it exposed then overcoming its temptations and its attacks would be a lot easier (from Pieter Kirstein) :
Jezebel's characteristics are as follows: INTIMIDATION, MANIPULATION, DOMINERING, WITCHCRAFT AND CONTROL. JEALOUSY, REBELLION, SEXUAL IMMORTALITY AND RELIGION. FITS OF RAGE, ANGER AND LOVES TO COUNTERFEIT THE HOLY SPIRIT. IT OPERATES WITH PYTHON THE SPIRIT OF FALSE PROPHECY AND DIVINATION. THEY PARTNER WITH LEVIATHAN THE KING OVER THE CHILDREN OF PRIDE.
Leviathan has seven heads of which we read in Proverbs 6:16 These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to evil, 19 A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren.
These spirits love to assassinate the true servants of God through false accusations and jealousy. Leviathan's judgment is spoken of in Isaiah 27
1 In that day the LORD with His hard and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the fleeing serpent, even leviathan that twisted serpent; and He shall slay the monster that is in the sea.
The sea here speak of nations because he operates in and through the unsanctified waters of the human emotions. Job 41:34 He beholds all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
Python also is a principality. He is a religious haughty spirit. He operates through legalism and strangles the life of the Spirit out of the word of God. He perverts justice and is self centered and egocentric. He is also responsible for wrong and perverted doctrines. He loves to force his way upon the ignorance of religious men. He is the spirit of divination and counterfeits the prophetic. He operates with Satan, the false prophet and the anti-Christ in the hierarchy of darkness. They twist, they lie and they pervert the true message of the gospel. The influence of these entities can clearly be discerned in organized religion.
The spirit of Jezebel is an international principality who has many subordinate spirits as sons and daughters. She operates with Python and Leviathan. These are all water spirits. They draw strength from the river of death. These exploit the water of the word because they twist the meaning of the Bible to suit their own satanic agendas. They are behind all false religion and operate as ruling princes with many other spirits in the hierarchy of darkness. They move in the logos of the letter and cannot function in the revealed knowledge of the Holy Spirit. Jesus had the exact same problem with the religious leaders of the day because they stood on the one foot of the logos without the revelation or illumination of the Holy Spirit. These satanic agents operate and find entry through the mental ascent of ignorant people. They find entrance when people think that they have the ability within themselves to interpret the mysteries of God. Only the Lord the Holy Spirit can rightly divide the word of truth. Jesus declared in John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He shall testify of Me.
John 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 But when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall he speak: and He will show you things to come. 14 He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall show it unto you.
