Much has been written on the Jezebel spirit as it applies to individuals but what if a church builds its entire doctrine on it?
This church has its own "trinity." It sells the promise of financial prosperity, anointed power, and miracles, which is more man-centered than Christ-centered.
The Church of Jezebel, Hijacking the Gospel is a Christian suspense novel depicting the cult side of some churches and televangelists. The purpose of this book is to unveil some false doctrines and manipulative techniques that often result in misplaced faith and spiritual abuse.
The Church of Jezebel not only exposes false doctrines, misplaced faith and spiritual abuse but also enlightens readers through Scriptures from the Bible. The main character of the story is Christina, an eighteen-year-old who is excited about being admitted to Bible college. Although she is easily awed by the doctrinal and prophetic messages, there is an unmistakable sense of foreboding from the first page. Christina's college roommate is dating the pastor's son and becomes pregnant. Weeks later the Bible college announces that Christina's roommate committed suicide but a detective assigned to the death is convinced it was murder.
The gripping and gritty novel travels to Haiti on a missions' trip, where nothing is what it appears, and concludes with a surprise ending that shakes the highest levels of this mega-church, Bible college and Christian network empire. The Church of Jezebel cites appropriate Scripture and examines the Jezebel spirit, false prophets, word-faith doctrine, faith healing, seed-faith giving, Christ-consciousness and other beliefs that are promoted today by many popular televangelists and churches.

 
“We need only exercise the same faith as Enoch, Elijah and Jesus to overcome death and become as God. The divinity seed within us, when properly nurtured, is infallible and incapable of sin. We must only access our divine Christ-consciousness by tenacious faith to be set free from sin and dominate this earth. Therefore, it’s unnecessary and even destructive to our spirit to pray in the name of Jesus because it nullifies and mocks our own Christ-consciousness.

“The Jezebel spirit is rooted in self and rebels against true authority. It is a controlling spirit that craves recognition, power and adulation. Jezebel's war arsenal consists of intimidation, manipulation, fear, guilt, gifts that come with strings attached and, at times, physical force. Make no mistake, this toxic spirit is highly critical of others in authority, is abusive and its goal is to enslave. There is freedom in Jesus but not in Jezebel.
