Spirit of Python
Part 1
The last few weeks the Holy Spirit has led me to expose the
spirit of python in the church today. In this article I want to
explain how this spirit works. What does it looks like? How
do you overcome its power, which could be affecting many
churches, whole regions and individual believers?
I have had several visions of this spirit. One in which I saw a
woman wrapped from her waist up by a large python. The head of the python was
up by her head and whispering in her ear. The snake was constricting, squeezing
and choking the life of God out of her and weighing her down and making it very
difficult for her to be free and rise in the Lord’s presence. I believe that this spirit is
at work in the church today, suffocating the life and fire of God like a blanket and
quenching the Holy Spirit in our lives and churches.
On another occasion I saw the spirit of infirmity as a large snake squeezing a man’s
back and lungs. The Holy Spirit told me to break the power that the spirit of religion
and control had on people, emotionally, spiritually and physically. Many people were
healed of chronic pain and many back and lung conditions. There are many times
when we cast out demons and do deliverance or healing ministry and many
individuals hiss and contort on the floor like snakes. I asked the Lord “Why?” I
believe that after reading this teaching we will understand why the Holy Spirit has
lead me to study and write a brief article on this spirit.
In this article we will look at the history of the ancient city Delphi and the Greek god
Apollo, said to be the son of Zeus. We want to understand the spiritual influence of
the python and where it came from. In this first part of my teaching I want to
establish some historical fact and biblical foundation. “Who is python?” “Where is it
in the bible?” I will then move more deeply into the teaching on how to overcome
this spiritual stronghold. I hope that you are ready for some deep stuff! (smile)
In this article we will also talk about spiritual apathy, depression, control and other
manifestations of this demon. Some of you will find yourselves or church in this
article. I want to do three things in this teaching.
1. Expose the spirit: What is the python spirit?
2. How does it attack and gain entry?
3. How do we overcome this demonic power?
Spirit of Python
The first place that we see this spirit of python and that term is in the book of Acts.
Acts 16:16-19
Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a
spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling.
This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, "These men are the servants of
the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation." And this she did for
many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you
in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And he came out that very hour.
But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and
Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.
In this passage of scripture the spirit of divination is literally translated spirit of
python in the Greek.
Divination
4436 Puthon (poo’- thone)
* From putho (the name of the region
where Delphi, the seat of the famous
oracle, was located) a python, i.e. (by
analogy, with the supposed diviner
there) inspiration (soothsaying) or
witchcraft.
What is Divination? (Div-i-na’shun)
Divination, the art of obtaining secret knowledge, especially of the future, is a pagan
counterpart of prophecy. Careful comparisons of scripture will reveal that
inspirational divination is by demonic power, whereas genuine prophecy is by the
Spirit of God. The biblical attitude toward divination is distinctly hostile. In Deut 18:
10-12, the prophet of Jehovah is contrasted with diviners of all sorts and is set forth
as the only authorized medium of supernatural revelation. (Unger’s Bible Dictionary)
Numbers 22:7
And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of
divination in their hand.
Divination
(Heb) 7081 qecem (keh’-sem)
* From 7080; a lot: also divination, divine sentence, or witchcraft.
Root word
7080 qacam (kaw-sam)
A primitive root; properly, to distribute, i.e. determine by magical scroll; by
implication, to divine:
KJV—divine (-r, -ation) prudent, soothsayer, use {divination}
Deuteronomy 18:10
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to
pass through the fire, or the useth divination, or an observer of the times, or an
enchanter, or a witch,
Enchanter
5172 nachash (naw-khash’)
A primitive root; properly, to hiss, i.e. whisper a (magic) spell; generally, to
prognosticate.
This spirit of python is the inspiration (source) of witchcraft and divination. To
understand the working of this spirit let us look at the famous oracle of Apollo in the
ancient city of Delphi. I believe that in this region where Paul ministered, Acts 16:16,
in the heavens and the spiritual climate stilled ruled a spiritual stronghold and
influence of python.
Just like when Paul preached in Ephesus, there still was a spiritual battle with the
UN-known gods and the goddess Diana (Acts 19:34-41). It was there that a riot
broke out against Paul because of their worship of Artemis the Greek goddess, sister
to Apollo. What happened in this city with the possessed slave girl was a natural
picture and manifestation of the ruling spirit in the region that went back thousands
of years. Lets look at some of the spiritual history surrounding this region to
understand this spirit of python.
The Famous Oracle (History of Delphi)
In Greek mythology, Python was a serpent that dwelt in the caves of Mount
Parnassus and was slain by the Greek god Apollo, who then founded the sacred
oracle at DELPHI or took it over from Python's guardianship.
The Pagan Oracle of Delphi was located about 75 NW of Athens on the Corinthian
Sea 5 miles inland and 10 miles south of Mount Parnassos' (Parnassus) summit.
There on the sharp, Parnassus Mountain cliffs, at nearly 1900 feet above the
Corinthian Gulf, where the sacred spring, Castalia flows into the Cephissus River,
two spectacular crags form a ledge.
the Pagan temple of Apollo was located. Steps at one corner reached the lower level
of the Temple and it is said that intoxicating fumes rose from a cleft in the floor near
the center of the chamber, which were believed to be the smell from the decaying
Python, which Apollo is said to have killed. It was on Parnassus that the sacred
Stone of Rhea landed when Cronus disgorged it.
Centuries before the birth of Christ devout pilgrims made the arduous trek to Delphi
to ask for advice from the famous Oracle. City-states made generous contributions,
some even establishing treasuries on the site. For more than six centuries, until the
Christian emperor Arcadius in 398 CE destroyed the shrine, Delphi truly shaped the
history of the world.
Tradition has it that Delphi was found by Coretas, a shepherd boy, who discovered
that his sheep and goats acted strangely when they approached the area and he
himself soon began uttering prophetic statements which came true. However, the
priestesses of Daphoene gave oracle at Delphi during Cretan times, which were at
least 200 years and possibly 400 years before Apollo. The shepherd, Coretas,
obviously did not discover the sight, but rather he uncovered the secret to the
priestesses of the Serpent Oracles of Mother goddess who presided there. Christian
sources assert that the priestess at Delphi (Pythoness) was intoxicated by fumes
escaping from the underground cavern and that she spoke gibberish which had to
be interpreted by the priest; and further that the questions had to be formed so as
to receive a "yes" or "no" answer.
Pythoness - (priestess) any woman supposed to be possessed of the spirit of
prophecy; a witch; familiar spirit.
Pythonism - divination, diving, augury, soothsaying, fortune telling, crystal gazing,
astrology, or and sorcery.
People came from all over the world to receive direction and revelation. The
priestess (pythian) would breath in these fumes that came up from the ground
which some even called the “prophetic spirit of Apollo” to receive their secret
knowledge. Woman priestesses would be possessed much like a medium today and
some say that without control and even in a trance state, speak. The people truly
believed that the god Apollo spoke through the Oracle, merely using her vocal cords
to express his wishes and advice. Witchcraft (divination) was founded on python
worship. This snake was worshipped for thousands of years before Apollo
established his famous oracle and temple and was the very symbol of this region.
One other interesting note about the Greek god Apollo which we know is a demon
that expressed itself as many other strongholds in ancient mythology, was also
known of as the god of healing diseases. I find it very interesting that even today
the natural symbol of medical healing is a serpent and even in Numbers 21 when
sickness strikes the Israelites, it comes with serpents and when God instructs Moses
about the remedy it is a bronze serpent on a pole. Even though in ancient Egypt and
still places today the most commonly worshipped snake is a cobra. I know there is a
connection to infirmity and the spirit of Python.
I believe that this spirit of python has found its strength today in a generation that is
hungry and looking for the supernatural in fortune-tellers, physics, tarot cards
readers, Harry Potter movies, new-age-movement, witchcraft, crystals, satanic
music, mediums on TV, false religions, TM mediators and more.
There is even a mixture in the church today like in King Saul’s day. When there is no
word of the Lord or prophetic vision in the land and we need direction, we
sometimes turn to a false source of revelation like King Saul and call the physic
hotlines or allow our children to watch Harry Potter or pokemon movies. Maybe we
do a little Yoga or still read the horoscopes, there are many forms of witchcraft and
Christian control, manipulation and rebellion in the church today.
1 Samuel 15:23 (AMP)
For rebellion is of the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim
Spirit Of Python
Part 2
I took the first part of this teaching to discuss “Who is the spirit of python?” I
wanted to establish a biblical foundation and talk about where this spirit came from
and where it was in the bible.
In this article I want to share more details about how this spirit operates and what
we can do to overcome its power. I believe that the spirit of python works with the
spirit of Jezebel. We know that Jezebel not only uses witchcraft, but also promotes
and sets a platform for the false prophets of Baal and witchcraft in the land. I
believe that this spirit serves the agenda of Jezebel and is the source of all-demonic
divination and witchcraft. People today are deceived by the increase of the
supernatural and some would say, "What is wrong with a psychic or a medium?”
People would say, “Todd what about the proven track record of many psychics and
how they have even helped solve police crimes and bring hope to ones whom have
lost a loved one?” I believe that many psychics and those who practice various forms
of divination may be true in many of their predications and even accurate in their
prophetic readings. Even in Acts 16 the possessed girl spoke the truth about Paul.
Acts 16:17
"This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, ‘These men are the servants of
the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.’"
But look at what God says in
Deuteronomy 18:10
“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to
pass through the fire, or the useth divination, or an observer of the times, or an
enchanter, or a witch.”
God alone is the source of all prophecy and revelation. It was not so much what the
slave girl said that was wrong but the spirit in which she spoke.
Deuteronomy 18:11-14
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For
all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these
abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt
be perfect with the LORD thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess,
hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy
God hath not suffered thee so to do. God has established himself the true source of
revelation.”
Python History
I believe to better understand how this python spirit attacks believers and the
church today; we need to understand some physical facts about this snake before I
bring it into a more spiritual understanding.
Python - A genus of very large, nonpoisonous snakes of Burma, Indo-China, India,
Mexico, Asia, Africa, the tropics and beyond. These snakes are known to crush their
prey to death and kill by suffocation.
There are several different types of pythons and some of these larger pythons are
often confused with the boas. Its various species are found throughout the tropics of
the world. Some have been reported to be 30 feet or more and 200 - 250 in pounds.
Adults are typically between 15 and 20 feet long. However different geographic
individuals have different lengths, some as small as 10 or 12 feet, and others, which
will grow to over 20 feet. Adult retics are very large powerful snakes. It is not
uncommon to see a python that is over 20 feet to weigh 200-250 pounds. A typical
15-foot python will weigh between 70 and 100 pounds.
Killing of the prey happens by
constriction and suffocation. When a
python has you in it's grip each time
you breath the grip tightens with
each breath. Some have said the
death process is slow, and when a
python has you in its grip the only
way to kill it is by cutting off its
head.
When the python attacks, one or
more coils of the body are thrown
around the victim, following up the
stroke of the head, and the powerful
body muscles apply pressure. The
pressure exerted by a large python
must be terrific. The prey is killed,
however, by suffocation rather than
by any actual crushing of the ribs.
In the Hellenistic belief, a python
was a spirit, which possessed certain
persons and prophesied unknown to
them through their mouths like a ventriloquist without control of the body.
(Encyclopedia Britannica)
In the literal Greek and Hebrew translations a serpent is:
Serpent: 5175 from 5172; a snake from its hiss, a serpent; a hiss, i.e. whisper a
(magic) spell; gen. To prognosticate; certainly, divine, enchanter, enchantment,
learn by experience, indeed, diligently observe.
How A Python Attacks
Control
This spirit wants to keep you from doing what God wants you to do. This is achieved
best by the strategy of spiritual apathy. Python wants to quench through suffocation
the life and breathe of God from your lungs and crush your hopes, faith, visions and
dreams.
Proverbs 29:18
“Where there is no vision the people perish.” (Become lazy and complacent)
If the devil can crush your hopes, faith, visions and dreams than you will not have
the fire you need to "press on to the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
The devil wants to get your drive, motivation and fight. This is achieved in many
different ways. One in which the devil will whisper in your ears lies, accusations,
condemnation, fear and unbelief.
Like that vision I saw of a woman wrapped from her waist up by a large python, the
head of the python was up by her head and whispering in her ear, the snake was
constricting, squeezing and choking the life of God out of her and weighing her
down and making it very difficult for her to be free and rise in the Lord's presence.
In Psalm 74:14 it talks about cutting the heads of the sea serpents and feeding it to
the people in the wilderness. I believe that if we don't cut off the head, the speech
center and authority of python (words), than we to will come under the spirit of
apathy and despair closely linked to depression and the spirit of heaviness. The devil
always attacks us with words like in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3 the great
question. "Has God indeed said?” The devil is always casting doubt and suspicion on
God’s word, and if we listen long enough we to will be deceived of our inheritance
lose heart and give up.
Spirit of Python and Drugs
I have also found the work of control on several occasions when dealing with those
bound with addictions, particularly smoking or drugs, that a spirit of python binds
them. Especially those who have used the hallucinate drugs, like LSD (acid) or magic
mushrooms and PCP also called angel dust. During the oracle at Delphi formerly
(pytho) the priestess would even use a leaf called the laurel leaves a mildly
poisonous plant taking in small amounts that produced prophetic hallucinations at
the place of the oracle. This would be true in the scripture as well for the root word
for medicines, pharmaceutical is found in sorcery (witchcraft).
Sorceries in the Greek is translated pharmakeia ( far-mak-eye-ah) Strong’s 5331
compare, "pharmacy and pharmacist"
Generally described as the use of medicine, drugs, or spells. Later the word was
used of poisoning, and then of sorcery, accompanied by drugs, incantations, charms,
and magic. We have seen this spirit at work in those who have received treatment
for healing by pursuing the ancient arts of magic or different divination to alleviate
pain.
Many times when casting out the demons of addiction it is necessary to break the
spirit of python controlling them. At times when we have cast out spirits of
addictions, we have had to break the power of python, especially when the spirits
manifest and come out with choking and gagging, some even feel a constriction or
tightness in the chest and feel like they are being choked. Even when I received
deliverance on one occasion from the spirit of sorcery because of my involvement in
drugs, especially with hallucinate drugs like LSD (acid) or magic mushrooms and PCP
also called angel dust, I was bound by a spirit of death and manifested the spirit of
python. The last demon to be cast out of me was death.
Vision of Apathy
I recently saw a vision of the spirit of apathy in North Dakota. In this vision I saw
large smog like cloud. It was like being in Chicago, New York City or some major
metropolitan city. I saw a lingering dark cloud of pollution hanging on to the horizon
just above the skyline. The Lord said that was the spirit of heaviness in. Isaiah 61:3
It was like a spiritual cap in the spirit realm so God's people could only climb so high
in the spirit. It manifests with a sluggish weight during worship and weighed heavy
on the countenance of the people in the meeting. I saw hopelessness and despair in
their eyes. Python attacks in this way, squeezing the life, breath and joy of the Lord
from our lives. It was even difficult to feel the Lord’s presence and I felt like I had to
continually challenge the people to be hungry for God and that God could use them
regardless of what they have been through. Imagine in the natural carrying around
a 200-pound snake on your shoulders and how that would weigh you down and
make you sluggish. One of the devils number one attacks is hopelessness, despair,
discouragement and depression; it weighs you down and makes us tired. When I
asked God about the vision and where it came from I saw the spirit of python.
Recently in a meeting in New Jersey I saw a woman who came into the service, who
had been in the worship ministry some 27 years, was healed of a tumor in her leg.
But better than that, I had a vision of a demon, like a monkey sitting on her right
shoulder. The Lord said, “Get that monkey of her back.” You know the expression of
someone carrying a burden around like a constant monkey of grief and regrets. This
spirit was whispering in her ear all kinds of lies, torments, accusations,
condemnation, depression, and despair. After I cast the demon out, not only was
she set free from the depression and she was also filled with the Joy of the Lord. I
also said to her that in the past when she had gotten up in the morning and would
look out the window, even if it was sunny it was grey to her, her worldview was
grey. I told her prophetically that tomorrow it will be sunny in the spirit and in the
natural and that there will also be another natural sign of her healing and
deliverance, a singing bird in the tree to greet her outside her home in the morning.
To the woman's amazement the next morning, not only did she wake up feeling the
weight and burden lifted, but she also saw a bird in a nest outside her window
signing! She would receive a fresh anointing for the song of the Lord!
Python and God’s Promise
Recently I was also ministering in San Jose, California
and I saw a vision of a spirit in the region. I asked the
Lord how it was manifesting, and he told me it was
choking and had a tight grip on peoples hearts, a
sense of grief, crushing and squeezing the life of God,
faith, vision and hope out of the prophetic promises
given to us from the Lord.
In the hearts of the people were discouragement and
spiritual apathy because hope deferred had made the
heartsick and a sense of defeat and impossibility had
set in the hearts of the people concerning, taking the land. The spirit was the power
of python’s influence in the region weighing heavy upon the hearts of the people.
At that time the Holy Spirit showed me out of the book of Numbers 13 when the 12
spies were sent in to spy out the land of promise, they returned with a bad report
because of the giants in the land.
Numbers 13:32
“And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the
children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a
land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are
men of a great stature.”
Numbers 13:22
“And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai,
and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. Their hearts had melted at the giants of
Anak in the land.”
And they said;
Numbers 13:28"Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the
cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.”
They also said:
Numbers 13:33“And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the
giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their
sight.”
Even though God had promised in:
Numbers 13:2 “Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I
give unto the children of Israel.” It was a done deal God promised, but because of
their perspective of the situation and the way it looked in the natural. Fear and
discouragements gripped their heart and they got into unbelief at Gods promise and
did not enter into the prophetic promise. Just like us today, we have several
prophetic promises and we fail to enter because of discouragement and our
perspective of our circumstances. This is the way the spirit of python crushes our
faith, vision, hope and dreams. Through discouragements he causes depression, a
sense of hopelessness and despair. Depression and the spirit of heaviness brings
infirmity, defeat and sickness.
Proverbs 29:18 “Where my people have no vision, they perish or become lazy and
complacent is the word here.”
Spiritual apathy is no fight or drive to possess the promises of God.
Remember that the strategy of the spirit of python is to crush and suffocate the fire
and life of God, using constriction and squeezing hope out of our hearts. Python
wants to choke out the promise through strangling, using the power of hopelessness
and discouragement.
The very Hebrew translation of the word Anak for the giants in the land is: To choke
as with strangulation using a necklace. Sometime we come to such a place in the
warfare associated with this spirit, and its slow death process, and constant feeling
of weighing down. We want to commit suicide to end the pain.
Spirit of Infirmity and Death
Part 3
The spirit of python is also closely linked to the spirit of
infirmity and death. Remember in the first article and
how in ancient mythology the Greek god Apollo was
the god of healing disease. I established earlier a close
link in some countries even to this day, where the
python or cobra is looked to for healing. We see this
spirit at work in those who have received treatment for
healing by pursuing the ancient arts of magic and divination to alleviate pain. When
a python has you in its grip, its intent is death and it can be a slow process.
I also find this spirit of python at work when dealing with individuals that have come
from a controlling or out from under a religious relationship, or background where
witchcraft and manipulation were used. I also see this spirit at work in those who
have been plagued with a lifetime of infirmity or frequent bizarre and freak accidents
(sometimes frequent car wrecks) or near drowning, traumatic situations. Some even
come under attack at night with choking manifestations around their throat. This is
the work of the spirit of death and python. I also find this spirit at work, quite often
in those who return from the mission field after ministry and they encountered a lot
of resistance and witchcraft. Sometimes individuals find themselves drained of all
their strength and weakened spiritually and physically from dealing with this spirit
especially after overseas ministry and the spirit of divination at work in those
countries is so strong. Many find themselves and homes battling with infirmities or
even bizarre accidents after overseas ministry.
Word Curses
Many times recently I have received words of knowledge to pray for pastor’s wives
or those battling, with fatigue or sickness in their body after returning from the
mission field, or even keeping them from the ministry God has called them to. Some
battle with fibromyalgia or chronic pain and fatigue. Many times it has been the
spirit of python at times released by those in the church, even other woman
speaking death words and curses behind her back, slander, judgments and critiscm.
They say in America today, that pastor’s wives suffer one of the most stressful jobs.
We can control atmospheres or peoples lives with the words and intimidation that
come out of our mouths or even our presence. It is like divination. I remember being
around those at times who carried intimidation, manipulation, and even those strong
in the spirit. There would come off of them a sense of control and I found myself
afraid and quenched with fear in their presence. This isn't just witchcraft but the
spirit of python, I would be robbed of the very life of God and afraid to say anything
that would challenges the authority, I just felt shut down in their presence.
Proverbs 18:21
“For life and death are in the power of the tongue.”
After we broke the power of the death words and rebuked the spirit and affect of
python and fear over the lives of those who had been dominated and even abused
by fear and control, they were set free, and the pastor’s wives were released to fulfill
Gods call.
Python in Mexico
One time recently as I ministered in Mexico after a successful night of meetings, I
was attacked in the spirit in my hotel room by witchcraft. I felt the presence of the
spirit of divination as a person, like a woman trying to enter my room. (Maybe astro-
projection or something) The Lord told me it was the witches in my meeting that
night in Mexico releasing curses against me. The Lord had me share this experience
the next night and publicly rebuke the spirit of witchcraft and people would be set
free. At the end of the night as I prayed and said, “In the name of Jesus spirit of
divination go.” Just then 11 demon possessed people fell to the floor in their seats
and had to be carried to the front. By the time it was over some 20 people had
demons cast out and most were on the floor manifesting like snakes and hissing.
Some of those who were set free were known to practice witchcraft and were saved.
There is also a strong link in scripture to physical infirmities and depression.
Remember the second vision I had of the spirit of python where I saw the spirit of
infirmity as a large python squeezing a man's back and lungs. The Holy Spirit told
me to break the power that the spirit of religion and control has had on people,
emotionally, spiritually and physically and he was healed, as were many others.
Depression
Remember one of the strategies of this spirit is to discourage, trodden down, which
opens the door to depression and depression infirmity and sickness. The ministry of
the Holy Spirit in
Isaiah 61:3
“Appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil
of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they
might be called Trees of righteousness.”
Proverbs 4:23
“Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.”
Your heart is the seat of your emotions. What the bible is saying is that with all
diligence we need to protect and our mind, will and emotions because it is the seat
for everything that happens in our lives.
The devil does not just want to harm your body, but wants to break your spirit
through the work of depression. It says in
Proverbs 14:30
”A sound or tranquil heart is life to the body. (A heart at peace or rest)”
We need to have a sound heart, and be full of the peace of God that surpasses
understanding. Satan wants to disturb the peace in our hearts through anxiety,
personal destruction, financial problems, strife in the home, gossip, co-workers,
words of condemnation, lies, discouragement and unbelief, crushing our hopes,
faith, vision and dreams.
Proverbs 29:18
“Where there is no vision the people perish.”
They become lazy and complacent just like spiritual apathy. He wants to disrupt the
tranquility and soundness of our heart in any way that he can, because there is a
connection between our hearts and sickness. The heart that is not joyful and sound,
which means at peace or rest, is a broken spirit. When your spirit is broken, it is
open for the enemy's attack with sickness or disease.
Proverbs 15:13,15 ”A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of
the heart the spirit is broken. All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he who is of a
merry heart has a continual feast.”
Proverbs 12:25
”Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad.”
Proverbs 17:22
“A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones. We can
see that Depression is connected to all kinds of infirmity and sickness.”
How This Spirit Works
I find this spirit at work today in the church in many different ways.
1. As a Christian, some of you have even innocently given your self to any kind of
divination and control or witchcraft. Maybe you have called a physic or read your
horoscopes, we need to repent of all involvement in any form of divination or
sorcery.
2. Before you were saved you may have been involved in one or many various forms
of divination and you still haven't renounced the power connected to all witchcraft
specifically.
3. Generational witchcraft in your family, someone close to you or even in your
home may be involved in or searching for answers in divination.
4. Ask the Lord if there is any witchcraft or divination directed at you, especially if
you have come under attack since the mission field and break its power in spiritual
warfare.
5. If you believe in any way that you are battling with the spirit of python, be sure to
repent of any legal hold or lies you believed. We give this spirit power at times
through legal right and open doors in our lives and ministry.
