The ancient letter from Jesus to the church at Thyatira is intense. The echo of His words to that spiritually polluted church needs to be heeded by churches in America. The spirit of Jezebel, and those under her influence, must be driven forth from all places in our churches. Leaders frequently tolerate Jezebel because she seems to have much to offer in the beginning. Left unchecked, her influence and presence will destroy a local church. If she is not removed, Jesus pledges to shut that church down Himself. What do we do with his counsel? These are radical days which require radical response to the holy expectations of the King.
