5 Steps to Win American Culture Back From Jezebel’s Grasp by Michael Brown for Charisma News
Author and national radio host Dr. Michael Brown says that until Jesus returns and sets up His perfect kingdom, the culture wars will continue to rage, and there will be many setbacks along the way.
“But that doesn’t mean there won’t be some real victories as well,” said the author of the popular new book, Jezebel’s War With America: The Plot to Destroy Our Country and What We Can Do to Turn the Tide. “We’ve seen some positive, recent news that shows that the evil spirit of Queen Jezebel, the most wicked woman in the Bible, is not winning on all fronts. The faithful are taking the necessary steps to spread truth and push back against her demonic ways that are still waging war on our nation.”
Brown details in Jezebel’s War With America that this evil queen was an idol worshipper and murderer who intimidated people by fear and was associated with sexual immorality and sorcery. Her spirit at work is evident through a militant pro-abortion agenda and an assault on gender as God intended.

But, the author notes, a new report shows that the number of abortions in America continues to drop. As reported by the Associated Press, “the number and rate of abortions across the United States have plunged to their lowest levels since the procedure became legal nationwide in 1973, according to new figures.”
“To be sure, this news is hardly all positive, since hundreds of thousands of babies are still aborted every year in the USA,” Brown said. “At the same time, one less abortion means one less baby killed in the womb, and for that, we rejoice. We can be encouraged by this line in the article: ‘The abortion rate is now less than half what it was in 1990. To be sure, some of the decline is due to lower fertility rates, with women having less children in general. And some of the decline is connected to increased use of contraception. But much of the decline is also due to a recognition of the wrongness of abortion. And so, despite the gory statistics of 862,000 reported abortions in 2017, the pro-life cause continues to gain ground.”
In another piece of good news, Brown noted, New York City has decided to drop an oppressive ban on so-called conversion therapy.
As reported by PJ Media, “New York City will act swiftly to repeal a ban on psychotherapy to address unwanted same-sex attraction, New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson announced last week. Johnson, who is himself gay, insisted that he would rather not repeal the ‘conversion therapy’ ban, but he insisted that a legal challenge forced his hand.”
The bill, which became law in 2017, forbade a therapist from charging clients for “services intended to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.”
“In other words, if a gay man asked a licensed therapist to help him overcome his same-sex attractions and the therapist agreed to help him, the therapist would be fined,” Brown said. “And the fines would be $1,000 per violation. Obviously, this law was oppressive, tyrannical and unconstitutional, but it was easily passed in the liberal climate of New York City. However, after an Orthodox Jewish therapist sought legal help from the Alliance Defending Freedom, the city quickly retreated. They knew they could not win in the courts, since both the state and federal courts have become more conservative. Could this be the first of many repeals?”
Thirdly, in response to parental protests, different cities are now canceling “Drag Queen Story Hour” events at local libraries, with the most recent cancellation in Texas.
