The individual operating under the influence of the spirit of Ahab complies with wishes, commands, and directives given by those influenced or possessed by the Jezebel spirit, even when it goes against their own personal will and convic tion. This spirit undermines a person’s rights and authority and totally opens them to be disrespected and to have their boundaries violated, be they territorial, personal, or psychological. This spirit is a doorkeeper, and its discretion opens doors to other principalities and strongholds. Codependency is also a common trait of the spirit of Ahab. Codepen dency is when a person is so preoccupied with rescuing and helping others that they let the other person’s behavior affect them. They are obsessed with controlling that person’s behavior, emotions, perceptions, lifestyle, and actions by attempting to maintain balance in a highly stressful, highly addictive atmosphere. Some assume the role of hero, scapegoat, or come dian. They gain relief by diverting attention from the real problem and not attracting attention to self. Individuals caught up in this syndrome usually project themselves as “the perfect child,” the “surrogate parent/ spouse,” and the like. They are also clingy and smothering. When code pendent children grow up, they continue to play roles until sometimes it becomes destructive.
