Discerning and Defeating the Ahab Spirit: The Key To Breaking Free From Jezebel Paperback – 1 Sept. 2010

In a clear, readable style, Steve Sampson describes how many Christians are robbed of their spiritual authority because they are living under a spirit of passivity. Inferiority, fear, avoidance of conflict at any cost and a sense of shame and unworthiness, often originating from early childhood experiences, are some of the attitudes and behaviour experienced by men and women under the influence of this 'Ahab spirit' with disastrous consequences for their relationships in all spheres of life.With practical examples, bible references and testimonies, readers are shown how to exercise their Godly assertiveness in Christ liberating them to fulfil their God-given purposes. There are fundamental differences for instance, between being 'peace-keepers' or a 'peace-makers'; being aggressive and being assertive.Although compassionate to those trapped in the spirit of passivity, Sampson, emphasises the importance of not only identifying but also facing up to and taking responsibility for the ensuing deeply ingrained and inappropriate behaviour patterns.This book is helpful and challenging for all Christians. Recommended.

I just wish Steve Sampson's books had been published 30 years ago. They are so true to what I've experienced myself. Sad though it is, I believe many Christians have been duped over many decades by fairytale teachings - where the devil's work has been totally overlooked. It's time the lid is taken off 'accepted church culture,' and the evil which resides so easily within exposed - particularly where individuals are afraid of confronting that which is clearly wrong. Any discerning Christian who is concerned about squabbles, slander, injustices and lies within their own church should read this book. You won't regret it.

this is a very informative and straight forward book. it gives you insight into passive behaviour, how it can be distructive in relationships and how to overcome passivity and the negative emotions associated and instead become assertive in a way that God intended.

agood book to understand this spirit and how it affects us

Every Believer should read this book. Written in an easy to understand way the author explains behaviours that are common to many and yet unconquered. He offers the keys to the door of victory.

Excellent book. Good explanation with many life examples. Very helpful and easy to read.

An incredibly accurate description of behaviour witnessed and experienced by this reader and wise counsel and advice regarding life in Christ and overcoming fear, intimidation and lack of self belief.

Excellent description and treatment of these devastating spiritual realities.Stay blessed in Christ Steve.

I could not put this book down. My husband kept saying, “You’re reading again?” All I could tell him was that this book was so good. It brought healing, deliverance, and so much insight. So timely! I wish this book was around 15-20 years ago. I so needed it in my life, but God knew this time would be better. Recommended reading!! Moving on to Steve Sampson’s “Confronting Jezebel!”♥️

Très bon livre, riche en connaissance.J ai beaucoup aimé .Merci à l'auteurJe le recommande à tous .

I believe God will speak to you through this book. He doesn't want you living in fear, passivity and suppression anymore. Forget the price and buy this in faith.

It gives a whole new perspective when you Otten feel A victim of situations or life. It helps you realize you have a Godgiven authority to be assertive in a loving way.

Great info great read.
