Prayer To Bind And Cast It Out
Python is referred to in
Acts as a spirit of divination. We know python as a powerful snake that
constricts and squeezes its prey to death slowly. Just like the snake, the
spirit of Python gets around its victim, which can be a person, family, church
or area, and he slowly squeezes the life out of them. This spirit works today
just as it did against Paul in Acts 16:16 in Macedonia. When you pray to
possess the land for God, the spirit of divination (python) begins to fight
against you. His manifestations may be weariness,
fatigue, confusion and frustration. His actions in churches,
ministry, finances or your home are felt as he begins to tighten his grip on
people. People leave their circumstances because he manifests
heaviness, depression, oppression, and pressure. When the
constriction gets stronger, the result is discouragement, factions and
divisions. Other spirits that work with python are enticing
spirits, seducing spirits, Jezebel spirits, controlling spirits and
manipulating spirits. We can and must break their power in the Name
of Jesus. If you have never exercised the authority of the Name of Jesus, you
need to pray for God to give you a spirit of boldness. When you battle the
enemy, you must use your weapons of the Blood of Jesus, the Word of God, and in
the authority of the Name of Jesus. There must be no fear but you must be bold.
The ruling spirit of Python will many times hide behind other demons but he is
controlling their actions. Generals in an army don't expose themselves.
Divination means using witchcraft to try to
discover future events or cause future events to happen by supernatural means.
When you see the spirit of divination (python) operating, you will also see false prophesying, and a profit motive. Money will be
attached just as it was in Acts16:16. Look for financial problems.
Python prevents business deals from closing favorably or he prevents sales from
occurring. Church finances may dry up or
constrict, trying to choke the church. We must learn to differentiate fiction
from fact and unreality from reality because the difference between the truth
and a falsehood can be very subtle.
When the python spirit is operating, look
for heaviness, sorrow, depression and oppression.
There will be manipulation involved and people will not be completely
open to correction. They will try to control every situation. Customs and
traditions may be strong and have to be torn down. Visions and creativity will
be choked. Python will cause people to become
fearful, weak and weary. People will start questioning their own
vision, position and calling. He tries to squeeze out of you everything God has
called you to do.
The ruling spirit of
Python will many times hide behind other demons but he is controlling their
actions. Generals in an army don't expose themselves.
Python usually has several spirits closely aligned that he controls. There is
often found Beguiling spirits. To beguile means to deceive, allure, and entice.
They work to cause division in the body of Christ. They often use charm
and charisma to cause diversion. They try to pull you away from Jesus and the
leaders God places over you. They pull you from one church to another church.
There may be Seducing spirits such as those that draw a person to a cultist.
The cultist may be operating under seducing spirits that draws people. Seducing spirits use lust, greed and pride to lead people
astray.
Such spirits influence individuals in a
church to bring about false worship and hurt the church. A Jezebel spirit in another person can make you feel
drained when you are around them. When Python is operating look for a spirit of Grief to try to get a foothold. He
always tries to bring spirits of Bitterness, Sorrow,
and Disappointments so that you end up feeling like everything is falling apart.
Encourage yourself in prayer and begin to pull them down. Don't complain but
express your love to God. Worship God and pray in the Spirit. Remember Python wants to create confusion, so you will allow doubt
to manifest in your mind.
Become involved in as much praise and worship
as you can to maintain the victory. Remember who you are battling against. It
is not flesh and blood. Stay in prayer as much as you can and remain obedient
to God and His Word. Become accountable to a church and pastor.
Seven points of important observations
(concerning the spirit of Python): Phyllis Ford
These were keys that were provided to me in
intercession in combating and uncovering this enemy.
1 Remember, the serpent in Genesis was a
beguiling one: seeking to convince Eve that God said something that He didn’t
say and twisting even the intend of God’s word.
2 This spirit will use religious
traditions, the law, and self-righteousness to control/restrict and manipulate
people within the church.
3 Because idolatry, deception, and
divination are the foundation of this spirit ---watch false doctrine and even
the refusal to respect Godly authority. Read 2 Corinthians 10. Utilize these
scriptures over the enemy. “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing
that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
every thought to the obedience of Christ; (vs. 5)” Watch mind control.
4 The assignment of this enemy is to break
down God’s plans and purposes by attacking various individuals and trying to cause
confusion/strife amongst the group that is moving forward to accomplish the
work of God. (Undermining leadership, rebellion).
5 A python is known to lay eggs in many places—when in intercession, and
while breaking its power ---tread upon the enemy’s territory and destroy the
eggs as well. God has given us the “power to tread on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means
hurt you.” (Luke 10:19).
6 Isaiah 59 gives a lot of insight into the
serpent’s mindset and activity. There are also keys to destroy his lair (den).
The word cockatrice means poisonous snake or adder. Strong’s 06848 Hebrew word:
Tsepha. (read also Proverbs 23:23-33, Isaiah 11:6-12, Jeremiah chapter 8 for
even greater insight on how to combat this spirit).
7 Remember, this enemy feeds upon
fear—Utilize the sword of the spirit which is the word of God to deal with the
lies/deception coming out of the mouth of this enemy. Hebrews 4:12 Pray also
for strong discernment.
