In a recent message, deliverance minister Alexander Pagani issued a strong, prophetic warning to the church: stop limiting spiritual warfare to a handful of popular demons and start addressing the full spectrum of demonic activity at work today.
“We must move beyond the spirit of Jezebel,” Pagani declared at the start of his message. “Now, why I am saying that is, the kingdom of darkness is vastly more wider than leaving all of its work to the top 10 demons and primarily the more popularized ones like the Jezebel spirit.”

He warned that many Christians are experiencing “phantom deliverance” because the church often misdiagnoses what’s truly going on. “If your categorization of the demonic is limited to only the top five demons, then you’re going to force what you think is happening in someone’s life within those five.”
Pagani explained that true discernment requires growth. “The kingdom is if it’s not broke, upgrade it. You have to upgrade it,” he said. “You’ll end up perpetually staying in a place of misdiagnosis, calling something out what actually is not there.”
He emphasized that deliverance can become a counterfeit when ignorance prevails. “What you don’t know can hurt you and stifle your destiny. My people perish for lack of knowledge.”
Pointing to Jesus’ message in Revelation 2:20, Pagani noted, “You are permitting that woman, that Jezebel who calls herself a prophet to lead my servants astray. She teaches them to commit sexual sin and eat food offered to idols.” He added, “When Jesus said this, Jezebel had already been dead for 700 years.”
Pagani explained, “Though the person dies, the demon does not. So though Jezebel in the natural died, that spirit that was in Jezebel went on and kept going and kept going.”
He urged believers to dig deep into Scripture and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the true root of their bondage. “God is saying, ‘I’m going to make you uncomfortable, and I’m going to shake your bloodline, and I’m going to help you get delivered.’”

And while many seek cookie-cutter solutions, Pagani reminded listeners that deliverance is personal. “My demons in my family are different than the demons in your family. But one thing I do know is that God has an answer for your bloodline.”
