Is South Korea Following China on Blockchain Adoption?

China recently announced its endorsement of Blockchain Adoption in the country.

Following this, the crypto industry got very excited and as a result, Chinese Stock prices increased. Following the lead, the South Korean Government has pledged its own Blockchain adoption. On October 28, 2019; The government announced it’s interested in Blockchain. The South Korean Government will carry out support projects to develop the blockchain industry. The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) will invest 10 billion won ($9.0 million) funds in blockchain-related projects in 2020. Moreover, KISA will focus on promoting the blockchain project to generate institutional interests in space-related education. Some USD 3.4 million in funding will be given by the government-run National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA). NIPA will further introduce blockchain-related courses to cater to the country’s young developers, entrepreneurs, and technology enthusiasts.

KISA “We will find more blockchain businesses this year”

Min Kyung-Sik, head of KISA said “We are going to discover a lot of ‘blockchain things’ when we say that it is a characteristic of the next year’s blockchain business. We continue to communicate with the public demand agencies to find a lot of projects to discover these projects. ” KISA till now do not have plans to invest in crypto-related projects.

NIPA “Support technology verification to discover blockchain company”

NIPA wants to focus more on technology verification business, regulatory improvement research group operation, consulting support business, and human resource development business. Yong-Joo Bang, head of the team, said, “This year, it will be conducted in the form of identifying and supporting the areas that companies need. The budget will be about 400 million won per project. I look forward to taking the lead. ” About 10 projects will be chosen for next year while one or two of them will receive funding over a number of years. Both public sector and private sector projects will be eligible to apply and application will be taken through Nov. 11

How the ICON will be affected?

ICON (ICX) is the biggest South Korea based coin. It allows information to easily be exchanged between government, banks, financial firms, healthcare providers, educational institutions, and private companies. Earlier, a crypto trader had predicted ICON prices will increase if South Korea is to accept blockchain. However, the technical indicators as of now do not show potential growth for ICON. This Blockchain Adoption news from South Korea could cause cryptocurrencies based on the country to increase, the current price position and its technical indicators provide a bearish outlook.

Libra Will Not Hit the Market Without US Approval Says Zuckerberg

Libra Will Not Hit the Market Without US Approval, Says Zuckerberg

The crypto sphere is known for being a disruptive force,

but even this sector got a disruptive jolt of its own when Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) announced it would be launching its own cryptocurrency, Libra, in 2020. However, ever since the company announced the launch of its own stablecoin, it has come under fire from regulators from all over the world.

Major Setback?

As a matter of fact, even the United States President slammed the project and asked the company to instead apply for a banking license. It has now emerged that Mark Zuckerberg is going to tell the US Congress that the company is going to delay the eventual launch of the cryptocurrency.The project has come under intense pressure from lawmakers, regulators, and even other companies that had initially agreed to participate in the project. Recently, some of the big names like PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) have decided to exit the project altogether, and the whole thing is looking quite grim for Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg seems to have conceded that the backlash against Libra is currently too strong, and hence, it would be better if the company delayed the launch altogether. In the statement, the Facebook founder wrote, “I believe this is something that needs to get built, but I understand we’re not the ideal messenger right now.”

Ripple Boosts Regulatory Focus With Opening of DC Office

The company had announced its very own cryptocurrency at the height of the crypto rally this year in 2019 and had scheduled the launch at some point in 2020. After the regulatory issues were raised by officials in the different parts of the world, the company stated that it was willing to wait until all issues are solved and launch the stablecoin afterward. While it is true that the company may have explored the idea of a delayed launch in the past, the Libra project seems to now have reached an impasse from which Facebook is struggling to recover.

How blockchain can power the electric vehicle industry

Blockchain technology has proven that there are no boundaries to its application

as it continues to disrupt diverse industries. The electric vehicle (EV) industry is one that has yet to fully experience the benefits of integrating blockchain technology. However, this is gradually changing, with the electric vehicle industry recognizing the benefits that accrue from integrating blockchain technology.

In a recent study by researchers from the University of Waterloo, the impact of blockchain to the EV industry was highlighted better than ever before. The researchers studied how blockchain can be used to solve the challenges that face the vehicle charging systems. With EVs becoming more common across the globe, EV-charging services providers have sprung up seeking to capitalize on the new opportunity. However, since they can’t set up their own structures everywhere, they partner with property owners and then get to share the profits generated by the venture.

In their study, the researchers identified lack of trust as one of the key impediments to the success of such relationships. The EV owners have no way of knowing if they are being overcharged for the service, while the property owners have no way of knowing if they are being underpaid. Christian Gorenflo, a PhD candidate at Waterloo explained, “Energy services are increasingly being provided by entities that do not have well-established trust relationships with their customers and partners. In this context, blockchains are a promising approach for replacing a central trusted party, for example, making it possible to implement direct peer-to-peer energy trading.”

The researchers further identified the critical steps necessary to incorporate blockchain technology into the EV industry. The first is identifying the level of trust between the involved parties. The trust level should be recognized as a significant impediment if it limits the success of the endeavor. The parties must then design a blockchain system, based on smart contracts that can solve the issue of trust. In cases where the existing systems need to be replaced by blockchain systems, the new system must be designed to closely resemble the existing interfaces. This makes it easier for the users to migrate into the blockchain system gradually.

“Mitigating trust issues in EV charging could result in people who have charging stations, and even those who just have an outdoor outlet, being much more willing to team up with an EV charging service provider resulting in much better coverage of charging stations,” Gorenflo said. The transformation is already happening, with such initiatives as Share&Charge relying on distributed ledger technology to build a resilient and highly efficient network in the EV community. Share&Charge’s Open Charging Network is a decentralized network where every participant gets to run an Open Charging Network Client which creates a decentralized messaging system for authorization, communication and data sharing.

Blockchain technology will also go beyond just the EV charging to disrupt the Internet of Things (IoT), an important facet in the EV industry. Blockchain will enable the vehicles to communicate autonomously with the charging stations and with other EVs as well, ensuring a seamless ride for the owner. Gorenflo remarked, “In the end, we could even have a system where there is machine-to-machine communication rather than people-to-machine. If an autonomous vehicle needs power, it could detect that and drive to the nearest charging station and communicate on a platform with that charging station for the power.”

BeatzCoin to be officially listed on Probit Exchange on October 21 VibraVidio surpass 2000 registered users in 2 weeks

BeatzCoin to be officially listed on Probit Exchange on October 21, VibraVid.io surpass 2,000 registered users in 2 weeks

BeatzCoin (BTZC), the Tron-based cryptocurrency used to transact on the VibraVid audio and video platform,

will be formally listed and begin trading on Probit Exchange on October 21 at 9PM (EST). ProBit hosted the BeatzCoin IEO and will also host the first official listing of BeatzCoin, although more exchange listings for BTZC will be revealed in the coming days and will come into effect next week. Probit is a global cryptocurrency exchange based in South Korea, with an easy and fast on-boarding process for international and US-based users via probit.com. The exchange boasts a quick and easy KYC process, order speed of over 1.5 million orders per second and advanced security while having one of the simplest user interfaces on the market. Probit.com will be listing BeatzCoin on October 21 at 9PM (EST) as the first exchange to officially commence trading of BTZ

VibraVid is a decentralized media sharing platform built on the Tron blockchain that aims to become a decentralized answer to industry video giants like YouTube and music apps like SoundCloud. The platform transforms how consumers interact with digital content through the use of cryptocurrency, as its new economic peer-2-peer model significantly increases the revenue for artists and content creators as well as viewers. VibraVid.io launched its MVP on September 29 and has attracted more than 2,000 users since then.

The platform aims to deliver content directly from creators to users, thereby eliminating the presence of intermediaries in the form of record companies, labels and middlemen. By introducing a new peer-2-peer economy in the music and content sharing industry, VibraVid will greatly benefit both artists and viewers. All transactions, deals, products, services, bounties and giveaways are instantly recorded on the TRON blockchain ledger, removing the need for revenue-grabbing middlemen. VibraVid.io has officially launched its MVP, with music and video content for a global audience. The platform has attracted more than 2,000 new users in the first weeks of operation

VibraVid provides the tools and empowers artists and content creators by offering a direct link between creators and users. By facilitating a new peer-2-peer economy, we eliminate the middlemen that has hurt the music and content sharing industry for decades and instead give the ownership of the art back to its true creator.

As recently highlighted by an article written and published by Forbes about VibraVid and BeatzCoin,

“a platform such as VibraVid could encourage thousands of upcoming artists to pursue their goals knowing they will benefit from their hard work.”

The VibraVid platform is also keeping true to the original vision and values set out by the Tron Foundation by providing a free platform for content creators to earn peer-2-peer, while the platform’s storage solution is built on top of the newly released BitTorrent File System (BTFS). VibraVid’s choice to use BTFS not only enables a decentralized storage solution for uploaders and viewers but also attests to BeatzCoin’s decision to utilize new and progressive technological solutions put forth by BitTorrent Inc and the Tron Foundation. VibraVid’s ultimate goal is to upend the media sharing industry by assisting one artist at a time to earn a living from their work while giving them the ownership and power to price, sell and distribute their creation as they see fit.

A new Local Strategy for LinkedIn

Like most people on LinkedIn, when I started trying to gain 1st level connections I began inviting people in my target group anywhere and everywhere I could find them. My target group was entrepreneurs, and I found a lot people on LinkedIn who identified as an entrepreneur.

Here is a fact of activity on LinkedIn. It is not the total number of connections you have, but the ability to approach people and start a conversation online that will turn into a real conversation and lead to real business.

That is the strength of your network, if it can be turned into real business.

Here is another little known fact. If you invite people in your target group from you local area, you have a much greater chance of them accepting your connection request and turning into real business.

If you are not from a city with a large population, then you should focus on people throughout your entire state.

If you live near a large city with over one million people, you should focus on your target group within your city or the larget city within 1 hour or 100 miles of where you live.

The only exception to this rule, is if your target group is predictably very small, then you should reach out to your entire nation. For example, if your target market is paleontologists, you should not restrict your geography at all.

For most people, their target market within a limited geography will yield tens of thousands of potential prospects, and that is enough. After all, you can only have a maximum of 30,000 1st level connections on LinkedIn, so eventually you may max out your pool of connections. I have to tell you though, that 30k is a big number and it will probably take you a couple of years at least to max. out at 30k on LinkedIn.

Why is local so important? It is because there is a natural affinity or feeling of closeness that comes from connecting to someone in your local area. It allows for a much higher connection acceptance rate, (over 2x the average), and much better and faster development of the relationship that you will need to form a connection that will enable you to accomplish your business objectives.

This approach is not something that will add only a few percentage points to your rate of success.

I general, most LinkedIn users only get about a 15-20 percent success rate on invitations. If you use a local approach as explained above, your success rate will likely double. To move to a 30% – 40% success rate is quite significant.

This brings up another potential problem on LinkedIn. Any time you are sending out invitations to people you know, there is always the risk of getting an idk. If you do not know what that is, it is a response, "I don't know you". If it happens rarely that is not a problem, but if your percentage of idk is too high, (no one but LinkedIn knows what that percentage is), you can get your account suspended for a few days, or even up to one week. This is something you want to avoid at all costs, and using a local approach will help to reduce your idk percentage as well.

When you get an idk flag from LinkedIn, it is not the end of the world, but it is something you really want to avoid at all costs. If you have repeated idk warnings your account could potentially be permanently suspended. If you do get an idk warning, I would recommend suspending your invitations for at least a couple of weeks, and then when you start up again, start very slowly again with only a few per day.

Not only can you invite people from your local area, you can focus on local groups as well. This will drive your acceptance rate even higher. People who join groups are usually looking to network. and it will be much easier to develop a conversation with people in a local group. This is true regardless of whether the conversation is online, by phone, or even in person.

Mainly, I am looking for entrepreneurs to join Markethive from LinkedIn, so this is a fairly simple and straightforward process that usually will not need phone or personal contact. Of course, that does not mean once they join you cannot reach out once they join Markethive. At that point, you will have a common base that is even stronger.

Sling TV DVR

While Sling TV has a fairly good DVR, it’s not free, which is another drawback. You’ll shell out an extra $5/month for 50 hours of DVR storage.

Sling TV On-Demand Library

Sling TV says it has more than 70,000 on-demand titles, but you’ll only get access to all of these if you subscribe to every channel it offers. In reality, you’ll get fewer on-demand episodes and movies, but networks like USA provide you with plenty of on-demand content to choose from.

Watch USA Network on AT&T TV Now

Source: DirecTV

AT&T TV Now is the new name of DirecTV Now. It’s a reasonably good way to stream the USA Network live without cable, but its relatively high cost and poor features mean it may not be the best choice for you.

AT&T TV Now offers a total of seven different packages, as follows:

Plus: 40+ channels / $50 per month. Includes HBO
Max: 50+ channels / $70 per month. Includes HBO, Cinemax

AT&T TV Now Channels

Depending on your AT&T TV Now package, you’ll be able to get content from USA, as well as channels like A&E, AMC, FX and FXX, TBS, TNT, and Paramount Network, so there are plenty of entertainment options.

AT&T TV Now Supported Devices

AT&T TV Now has pretty good platform support. You can use AT&T TV Now on Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Apple TV, and Chromecast, as well as modern web browsers and iOS/Android devices. However, there is no support for gaming consoles as of yet.

AT&T TV Now Simultaneous Streams

AT&T TV Now is fairly restrictive when it comes to simultaneous streaming. You can only stream on 2 devices at once. This is okay if you’re only watching TV on your own, but if you want to share accounts with friends or family, you’re going to run into some trouble. You can buy another stream for a $5/month fee, though.

AT&T TV Now DVR

The AT&T TV Now DVR only provides a paltry 20 hours of recording time, and limits you to storing your recordings for only 30 days, making it the worst DVR on our list by far.

AT&T TV Now On-Demand Library

You’ll get a good number of past seasons, top movies, and recently-aired episodes from USA and the other channels included in your AT&T TV Now package.

Watch USA Network on Playstation Vue

No, you don’t need a PlayStation to use PlayStation Vue. In fact, it has great device support, and also has fantastic features and a reasonable channel selection, making it a top choice for watching USA Network without cable.

PlayStation Vue Pricing and Packages

PlayStation Vue costs $49.99/month for the entry-level “Access” package, and has three more packages you can choose from if you would like more channels for a higher price. You’ll only need the cheapest package to get USA.

Access 5-Day Free Trial $44.99/ month	50 channels 5 simultaneous streams* ESPN and Disney Premium sports EPIX and FXM HBO and SHOWTIME
Core 5-Day Free Trial $49.99/ month	75 channels 5 simultaneous streams* ESPN and Disney Premium sports EPIX and FXM HBO and SHOWTIME

* You get 3 streams to use in-home or out-of-home streams and 2 extra streams to use in-home.

PlayStation Vue Channels

This baseline PlayStation Vue package will get you access to the USA network, as well as plenty of other popular cable channels like AMC, TNT, TBS, SyFy, FX/FXX, and TLC. You can get even more channels with the pricer packages.

PlayStation Vue Supported Devices

Platform support for PlayStation Vue is pretty good. You can stream content on your web browser, iOS/Android devices, Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, and Amazon Fire devices, as well as PlayStation 3/4 consoles. However, Xbox support is absent, which is not surprising given the Microsoft-Sony rivalry.

PlayStation Vue Simultaneous Streams

PlayStation Vue has carved a niche out for itself in the world of cable alternative streaming services. It’s absolutely the best choice for larger families, or for people who wish to share their accounts with friends. You can stream on 5 devices simultaneously – more than any other service on this list (with the exception of Hulu With Live TV + the Unlimited Screens package).

PlayStation Vue DVR

PlayStation Vue also offers a pretty good DVR for no additional fee. DVR recordings expire after 28 days, but you get unlimited storage space. That means you don’t have to worry about accidentally erasing older recordings, or running out of recording slots.

PlayStation Vue On-Demand Library

You can expect a fairly robust on-demand library from PlayStation Vue, particularly if you subscribe to one of the more pricey packages it offers. You’ll get movies, recent episodes and past seasons from most of the channels included in your subscription.

Watch USA Network on YouTube TV

YouTube TV is a relatively new entrant into the world of “skinny bundle” cable alternatives, but has already made a splash, thanks to its great features and strong channel lineup.

YouTube TV Pricing and Packages

For $49.99/month, you get a package of up to 70 channels with YouTube TV. You can also choose from a limited selection of premium channels like Showtime and Shudder.

YouTube TV Channels

Currently, YouTube TV supports just about every streaming platform except Amazon Fire TV, which is getting support sometime in late 2019. As of now, you can watch it on the Chrome browser, iOS and Android, Chromecast, Apple TV, Roku, and Xbox One, as well as some smart TVs from LG, Samsung, Hisense, VIZIO and Sharp.

YouTube TV Simultaneous Streams

You can stream on up to 3 devices at once with YouTube TV, which is better than AT&T TV Now, Hulu With Live TV, and fuboTV.

YouTube TV DVR

YouTube TV has the best DVR in the business. You get unlimited recordings for 9 months, with no limits on simultaneous live recordings. This blows every other DVR service out of the water.

YouTube TV On-Demand Library

Like the other picks on our list, YouTube TV gets its on-demand content, like recently-aired episodes and movies, from the channels it carries. While the amount of content available fluctuates a bit, you’ll always be able to find something to watch.

How to Watch USA Network on Amazon Fire TV

You can watch USA Network on Amazon Fire TV with one of these streaming services: fuboTV, Hulu With Live TV, Sling TV, AT&T TV Now or PlayStation Vue. YouTube TV will be getting Amazon Fire TV support in late 2019. To get started, just download the application for the service you’ve chosen from the Amazon App Store, then sign in.

Your other option is to download the USA Network app for Amazon Fire TV. You can sign in with any of the above streaming services, and watch live and on-demand content.

Investors include prominent firms such as Polychain Capital and Sequoia Capital’s Surge. The platform is set to launch in select markets next year and is taking a radical approach towards creating an open and global financial system for everyone, regardless of location or income.

Banks in developed countries – including the US, Europe, Japan, and Singapore – traditionally offer between 0.01% and 0.10% interest through checking and savings accounts. This interest will be distributed daily and will fluctuate regularly. Clients will also be able to send and receive money anywhere in the world without intermediaries and at no cost. Additionally, the company plans to introduce a debit card with a partner bank in the future. Juno is built on the Ethereum blockchain and uses Nuo protocol for its core functionality. Its main feature is to enable decentralized lending and borrowing of digital assets to earn a high yield on stablecoins such as USDC. Juno is leveraging these assets to build the next generation of global decentralized financial and banking services (DeFi).

Varun Deshpande, co-founder of Juno

“Today, we are excited to unveil Juno – a neo banking platform that aims to provide everyone a high yield account for their savings. Our goal with Juno is to help create an open financial system for the world by providing equal opportunity and access, no matter where you are born or how much you earn. We are also delighted to partner with Polychain Capital, Sequoia Capital’s Surge and Dragonfly Capital on this journey as we build a new age banking platform from the ground up.”

Olaf Carlson-Wee, Managing Member, CIO of Polychain Capital

“We were early supporters of decentralized finance and stablecoin systems, both of which have continued to gain meaningful traction in the market over the past couple of years. We believe Juno is well-positioned to bring decentralized finance to the mainstream with their neo banking platform for digital assets. We are particularly impressed with the team’s focus on simple user experience, unlocking liquidity using smart contracts, and their Asia first strategy.”

Juno was founded in July 2019 by Varun Deshpande, Ratnesh Ray, and Siddharth Verma after creating the Consensys-backed Nuo protocol in 2018. Using Nuo smart contracts, lenders can supply crypto assets and earn daily interest, while borrowers can instantly access credit using their digital assets as collateral. Smart contracts allow for algorithm-driven pricing, disbursals, and collections, ensuring efficiency and transparency. Nuo protocol has grown organically to USD $25 million in deposits and USD $20 million in loans disbursed, making it the most popular DeFi app in Asia.

The founders’ past ventures also include BeeWise, an alternate credit analytics platform acquired in 2017 by Aditya Birla Money. As a serial entrepreneur, Deshpande was the co-founder and CEO of TopTalent, a high-end recruitment platform as well as AVP marketing at Topper, a Fidelity-backed edtech platform in India.

Ratnesh Ray graduated from IIIT Allahabad and was the head of data science at TinyOwl, a Sequoia India backed foodtech app. Prior to that, he was a software developer at Toppr, where he helped create personalized tests and social features. Siddharth Verma was part of the early team at Arista Networks where he worked on their flagship product consisting of high-density switches.

Ripple Explains FUDs Decrease in XRP Sales in Q3 Report

Ripple Explains FUDs, Decrease in XRP Sales in Q3 Report

Ripple Inc. has released its Q3 report, a move geared towards increasing the transparency of XRP ecosystem.

When the digital currency was launched in 2012, nothing more than 100 billion units of XRP was created, but “Ripple was gifted a portion of this XRP,” out of which it sells out to enlarge the XRP ecosystem by investing in ideas capable of reshaping the Ripple ecosystem. In the released report, Ripple stated that it decreased the sales of XRP by 74.5% compared to Q2 sales. This quarter, Ripple sold $66.24 million worth of XRP compared to $251.51 million it sold in Q2. During the last quarter, 3 billion XRP were released out of escrow and 2.30 billion XRP returned back. For now, Ripple is now available on over 140 exchanges worldwide, the report indicated.

During the quarter, Ripple’s investment arm Xpring launched developer platform to strengthen the relationship between developers and entrepreneurs and give them the advantage to build on the XRP Ledger while making use of XRP token. The developer platform is open-sourced and can accommodate the 23 million developers across the globe by giving them the chance to enable payments in any of their innovation. As well, Ripple invested in Logos, Coinme, BRD, and XRP-centric Coil partnered Mozilla and Creative Commons to launch Grant for the Web. Also in Q3, Bitpay and Xpring deals were sealed, and the formal is now supporting XRP, bringing the digital currency to its thousands of customers worldwide.

FUDs Everywhere.

Ripple tagged those making FUDs about XRP are only spreading misinformation purposely to undermine the nascent and innovative idea. It said bot accounts on Twitter are now more active at condemning Ripple’s XRP, and more unique bots are being created every time to do the same. Conversation about Ripple “dumping XRP” and “flooding the market” from bot accounts, increased by 179% quarter over quarter. While Ripple claimed it cannot manipulate the price of XRP, the company pointed that there is no difference between what is obtained in BTC, Ethereum community and XRP community. The same way large holders exist in many crypto community is the same way it

exist in XRP ecosystem.

“We do not see evidence that large holders of XRP are behaving materially differently than BTC or ETH ‘whales’.”

The company pointed that around 49% of conversation alleging Ripple of being involved in XRP price manipulations came from bot accounts.

Beware the growing Jezebel Spirit

What are the Characteristics of the #Jezebel Spirit?

There can be no doubt that the Christian warfare or #Spiritual Warfare has significantly increase in the last century as #Satan has released some of the most dangerous spirits to destroy the #church. There can be question that of all Satan hierarchy of Spirits, the most dangerous spirit operating in the church today is that of #Jezebel Spirit. The Spirit of Jezebel is a very cunning and seductive spirit.

This high level evil spirit has been responsible for tearing down many churches, pastors, people with prophetic ministries, and other ministries. Not only that, Jezebel Spirit has also been responsible for breaking up many marriages, friendships, companies, along with getting many people to commit cold-blooded murders and suicides.

But what are the different ways in which this Jezebel Spirit operates? How can we identify the Spirit of Jezebel?

Identifying The Spirit of Jezebel

Refuses to admit guilt or wrong

A person with a Jezebel spirit is will never admits wrong, unless it is a temporary admittance of guilt to gain “favour” with someone. To accept responsibility would violate the core of insecurity and pride from which it operates. When a Jezebel apologizes it is never in true repentance or acknowledgment of wrongdoing but rather “I’m sorry your feelings were hurt.”

Takes credit for everything

While a strong trait of Jezebel is to never take responsibility for his wrong actions or behaviour, he also is quick to take credit for benefits for which he contributed no effort.

Uses people to accomplish its agenda

The Spirit of Jezebel lets others do its dirty work. The Jezebel gets another person’s emotions stirred up, then lets that person go into a rage. The Jezebel sits back looking innocent, saying “Who me? What did I do?” This behaviour makes it difficult for even the most ardent truth seekers to pin one down. The Jezebel spirit is clever in its agenda.

Withholds information

Withholding information is one of the way a person operating under the influence of the Jezebel Spirit holds and maintain. Remember the Jezebel spirit is a form of witchcraft. Witchcraft spirits loves to control other people. A Jezebel wields power over you by knowing something you don’t know in a situation. In the eyes of a Jezebel, having information you don’t have is a powerful weapon of control.

Jezebel is threaten by Prophetic #Ministry

A person with a Jezebel spirit will do everything in its power to destroy a person with a prophetic ministry or gift. Reason being is that someone with a prophetic gift or ministry will be able to identify Jezebel Spirit and will attack it. Remember Jezebel in the Bible tried to destroy all the true prophets of #God and even tried to kill Elijah.

A person with a Jezebel spirit wants control and will do anything, even removing others to have control

Volunteers for anything

A Jezebel loves to volunteer, especially for projects were he/she will be seen and can have some level of control. Although he will work hard, his motive is never pure, and eventually his secret agenda cannot be hidden.

Lies about everything

A person with a Jezebel Spirit will lie, even when they don’t have to and are hard to detect. No one can lie better than a Jezebel. He can make you believe whatever he/she wants you to as he/she does this through manipulation. The fact that Jezebel can look you in the eye and lie just shows how strong and adamant this rebellious and recalcitrant spirit is.

Ignores people

A classic ploy of a controller is to ignore you when you disagree with him. This tactic is frequently used by leaders when someone doesn’t agree with their plans, and they isolate the person by ignoring him. Some in these situations have been ignored for months, just because they chose not to be a puppet and say to every idea or whim. This puts the person out of the leader’s grace and forces him to either “come around” to the leader’s way of thinking or be indefinitely ignored. One is not free to disagree with a controller.

Never gives credit or shows gratitude

A person with the Spirit of Jezebel will rarely give credit to someone or acknowledge another person’s actions, not even for something that turned out to greatly benefit the Jezebel. He just cannot bring himself to say thank you or to acknowledge that someone else did something right. There are those who have gone out of their way to bless a Jezebel by being the catalyst of sending him on a trip or giving a gift. Yet never will there be a thank you. This again puts the controller in a position of power. If Jezebel does, it is always to accomplish an end-game, but never from a pure #heart.

Criticizes everyone

This is a characteristic of a controller. He has to be the one who looks good, so he will quickly sharply criticize anyone who makes a suggestion or plan. Even though he likes the plan, he can only criticize it because the idea did not originate from him. Criticizing others elevates the controller in his own mind.

One-upmanship

A person with a Jezebel spirit will always upstage another person. Jezebel feels threatened by anyone who dares to steal the limelight or anyone who is a threat to his power and control. If you are with such a person and tell of your accomplishment or victory, you can be assured he will quickly tell of something he has accomplished.

When a controller is confronted, he commonly spiritualizes the situation, explaining it off on God. This prevents him from owning up to responsibility required of him. The implication is always, “You’ve got a problem; I don’t.”

Is insubordinate

A Jezebel never takes the side of the employer or a person in authority, unless it is a temporary action to make himself look good. He often will take credit for someone else’s idea. His main desire is for power and control. There is no conscience when an opportunity for recognition presents itself.

Is pushy and domineering

A person with a Jezebel spirit pressures you to do things, seemingly ripping from you your right to choose or make a decision for yourself. He makes others feel as though they don’t have enough sense to think for themselves.

Uses the element of surprise

A Jezebel’s main thrust is to be in control, and a large part of control is catching you off guard. Therefore, the element of surprise works well when he shows up a day early for a meeting, etc.

Sows seeds of discord

A Jezebel will continually belittle another person in the most subtle way. The strategy is to “gain” control by minimizing the value of another person. It is common for him to tell half-truths to implicate another person in your eyes. By sowing these seeds, he hopes to eventually reap a harvest of destruction, improving his position of power.

Commands attention

A Jezebel likes to be the centre of attention and doesn’t like to see others recognized and lauded. When someone else is recognized, he will quickly undermine the person’s accomplishments verbally.

Is vengeful

Since a Jezebel is never wrong, if you contradict or confront one, get ready to become his worst enemy. As long as you are in agreement with him, all is fine. But if you confront or challenge him, then look out. You are the target of his fiercest venom. A Jezebel will stop at nothing to destroy your reputation.

Attempts to make you look like you’re the Jezebel

A Jezebel spirit is difficult to pin down. If the person is near to being confronted, he or she will skilfully twist the entire situation, trying to make the innocent person look like the one who is attempting to control. As always, the Jezebel will do anything to look like the one who is right.

Insinuates disapproval

A Jezebel will often imply disapproval to those under his or her control. The controlled person feels no freedom to express an opinion, for fear of disapproval. This often manifests in a #marriage or in a working environment.

Knows it all

A Jezebel is usually blatant regarding his knowledge of everything. Quick to express his opinion in any area, he leaves little room for anyone to point out the other side of an issue. He has made idols of his opinions.

Is ambitious

The Jezebel has strong desire, but all for self. “I want what I want when I want it,” describes his worship of self-will. A Jezebel leader will never use the words, “We have a vision,” but rather, “My vision is thus and so.”

Gift giving

A person with the spirit of Jezebel loves to give gifts; this again is a form of control as the Jezebel uses gifts to make you feel obligated to him. It also compromises the victim in speaking against him or her or to confront truth about that person. I am not saying that everyone who gives gifts are Jezebel or does this to control others, but gift giving is a tactic used by those who have a need to control.

Is independent

No one has input in a Jezebel’s life. He fraternizes with no one unless it is to get you to “cooperate” with his agenda.

Is religious

A Jezebel dwells in the local church but doesn’t like authority unless he is in the position of authority. He or she will behave like they are holy or a Christian, but they are not.

Hides

We all want to believe that the person with a Jezebel spirit is delivered. The person may seem “normal” for a period, exhibiting none of the classic traits. Then suddenly without warning a situation will arise, once again with the spirit taking control and wreaking havoc over lives. Hopefully, true repentance will come. Only then will the person be delivered.

I hope this list will help you to identify or know the different characteristics of Jezebel Spirit and be able to attack it. Please leave a comment and tell us what you think about this article and if you have notice any of these traits in anyone. Be sure to share this article with your friends on Social Media so they too can arm themselves with knowledge of Jezebel Spirit as it is very much alive in society and the church today.

Another name for this is narcisism, which has become rampant in today's ulture.
