Publisher's Description
In the Old Testament, Jezebel was married to Ahab, king of Israel. Ahab ceded his power to his wife, acquiescing to her control and becoming passive. In the same way today, people demonstrating the control and domination of the Jezebel spirit compel people into the passivity of an Ahab spirit, whether in a marital situation, a church, or any other relationship. It doesn't have to be this way. Using sound biblical teaching and real-life illustrations--some from his own life--bestselling author Steve Sampson shows readers how to discern and defeat the spirit of Ahab, Jezebel's ancient ally. It is possible to be assertive in a godly way, and Sampson's teaching will motivate believers trapped in passivity to claim their freedom and become a positive force for change.
Endorsements (5)
“Presently one of the principalities suffocating the spiritual resources of many nations is the Ahab spirit. Steve’s book will definitely enlighten and assist you in your walk with God, and show you how to deal with these wicked spiritual forces.”
“I have known Steve Sampson for more than two decades. He has an unusual ability to unlock spiritual paradigms of behavior that are often seen in the lives of many Christians. “When we first met in 1985, he was immediately embraced by the Covenant Church family for his sincerity and transparency. He has this marvelous ability for self-deprecation, enabling almost anyone to identify with his message. He takes complex truths and simplifies them for everyone listening. I have long admired his insight into Scripture with a view toward producing practical insights for his listeners and readers. “Much has been said, taught and disseminated about the Jezebel spirit, but the polar opposite, the Ahab spirit, has remained hidden—until now. I believe this book will be a textbook for pastors, teachers and counselors to help people grow in their spiritual lives. And any Christian will benefit invaluably by Steve’s wisdom.”

“Steve Sampson has been given a unique prophetic anointing and is setting the captives free. His book Confronting Jezebel brought me life on every page. The illumination and insight caused the darkness around me to flee. Now he is giving us this new work that will continue where Confronting Jezebel left off, arming us with true revelation from God’s Word.”
Dr. Joe VanKoevering
“This book will not help you unless you read it! If you read it, you will have a guide for change and maturity that really works and will help you enjoy your Christian faith more. It is a bare-knuckled approach to the personal, social and spirit forces that alter or control our everyday lives. With love, grace and experience from years of ministry to troubled Christians, Steve walks where other writers avoid (and consequently leave the reader unchanged). This book is a spotlight on the reality of human decisions and what causes them.”
