A person with a "Jezebel spirit" can be delivered from this ungodly stronghold.
 
Sin in the Camp
 
Jezebel is a spirit, but it finds access through uncrucified flesh and sin in the camp (church/home). Although the Jezebel spirit is described in the Bible as being a woman, it does not actually have a gender. There is no doubt that it functions just as proficiently through men. The Jezebel spirit might even be seen in a group; not just a person. The Lord condemned the person with a Jezebel spirit in the church at Thyatira (Revelation 2).
