Bevelyn Beatty Williams, a pro-life activist sentenced to 41 months in federal prison for protesting at the entrance of a New York City abortion clinic, is using her platform to warn about what she calls the “Jezebel spirit” in American politics.
Williams was convicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act for her actions in 2020 and began her sentence this week after an unsuccessful appeal.

Despite her circumstances, Williams remains vocal about her faith, particularly her concerns regarding leadership in the U.S. government. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), she encouraged her supporters to vote against leaders who promote injustice and oppose biblical principles. “Please don’t forget to vote and do all you can to elect leaders who stand for justice,” she wrote, urging Christians to be “the beaming light that you were called to be.”
Williams frequently refers to the influence of the “Jezebel spirit”—a demonic entity drawn from biblical accounts describing a rebellious, manipulative force often linked to ungodly authority figures. She attributes much of her legal persecution to this influence, especially from figures like Vice President Kamala Harris and the judge who presided over her case. Williams sees her conviction as part of a broader agenda by women in power, driven by the radical feminist and anti-Christian agenda.
Biblically, Jezebel is a corrupt and idolatrous queen who led Israel astray during the times of Elijah, and the book of Revelation warns of the same spirit influencing the church (Rev. 2:20). For Williams, this serves as a spiritual warning for Christians to resist such leadership and uphold God’s righteousness.
The Bible teaches us that Christians are called to stand firm against evil forces, praying and trusting in God’s ultimate victory. “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil” (Eph. 6:11), is a verse that describes the reality of believers facing spiritual battles against the forces of Satan.
Despite her imprisonment, Williams has vowed to continue her ministry behind bars, confident that “Jail doesn’t stop Jesus.”
