Ahab was sullen and angry because Naboth refused him. When he didn’t get his way, he acted like a spoiled brat. Now you know that I have never been like that :/ but just in case I have forgotten an instance or two, God spoke this to me – Jezebel was released to do her evil by the king acting like a spoiled brat. The Lord is speaking to me today about the rise of evil and the rise of Jezebel (one who usurps – takes over what is rightfully my place). When I act all bummed out when I don’t get my way, (and throw a little fit), there is a release of someone else to get in my way – and it isn’t the Lord! The enemy is released! It can come in different forms, but one of the forms will become and enmity between me and the person who disappointed me. Another form is that I will give my rightful place of rulership away. Wow!

Thank you Lord for this revelation. Help me to remember it when I become “sullen and angry” over not getting my way. I don’t want to give away my authority, nor do I want the enemy released to pit people against me and me against them. Further than that make me like you who never threw a fit.
