The Python and Your Purpose.

           

              The Python and Your Purpose

The python is an evil being, sent to distract you from your God given purpose.

The python exists to cut off the lifeline to God, to stay the voice of the Holy Spirit, to stop your fellowship with Jesus.

Prayer is our communication to God and the python takes it upon himself to suspend that communication. If the python can choke our transmission point, we will never see our dream realised. 

The python speaks lies and brings hopelessness into our situation.

Python is not only demonic, but also a domain (principality), releasing the power of witchcraft. There are certain regions where pythons have a stronghold in the area. You can feel these strongholds in the air; as a sense of hopelessness and depression envelopes you.

The python literally squeezes the breath out of you. The breath of life, the Holy Spirit, is cut off when the python dares to come near. Pride will provoke a python, as will lack of discernment, when going on the offensive against it, particularly if it hasn’t yet done anything. 

Feeling tired, under pressure, loss of passion for prayer and worship. Feeling overwhelmed, hopeless and helpless, are symptoms of a python attack. When you feel dead on the inside, you know it’s an assault from the python.

The python has no authority, but works to distract a believer. As a follower of Christ, you have all authority. The python has none. Make no mistake: The python is there to stop your progress, to draw you away from your God given assignment and you need to exert your authority to overcome the python and his ways.

Wherever there is turmoil, the python will strike. This is when you need to pray most exceedingly. It’s when you most need to pray, that the python attacks, so don’t ignore prayer at this point. It’s the python’s job to distract you from prayer, to cause you to feel you don’t want to pray, or that you can’t be bothered to pray. If you get to this point, the python has won the battle today. Don’t let him win the battle again tomorrow.

You might be blindsided, by an attack from the python. You won’t see it coming. Out of nowhere something will happen, to put pressure on you. Don’t forgo any occasion to pray. Stay close to God and you will overcome this period in your life. 

Spiritually speaking, you’re unlikely to die from a python attack, but an attack can set you back weeks, months, or even years. The shortcut to overcoming this setback, is to pray.

The python is after your destiny, abducting and seizing it out of your grasp. It appears like a torrent, pushing you back, tumbling you downstream, whirling you round, helpless as in a gushing flood.

The python is violent, with a demonic outpouring of witchcraft and a spirit of divination (prediction), bringing confusion and apathy. You need to be equally as violent, to overcome his ways. 

Timothy was told by Paul to fight the good fight. (1 Timothy 6:12) That means to stay true to God and His word, in the face of opposition. To be unwavering in your commitment towards God, in spite of the hostility coming against you. 

A serpent and a snake are one and the same. A python is a type of serpent. It was a snake who deceived Adam and Eve, in the garden of Eden, bringing a spiritual death upon them. 

A serpent is shrewd and crafty and Jesus called serpents ‘wise.’ They are skilful, clever, cunning and sly. Don’t be fooled. Though they hide in dark places, they are still there, awaiting their moment to strike.

In life we adjust slowly to what’s happening around us. This slow and steady adjustment causes us to be blind to the python, until it’s well and truly wrapped around us, squeezing the life from us.  

In the realm of spiritual warfare, we need to submit to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. A python’s work in our lives can be so subtle, often we don’t see any trace of it coming. Remember, serpents are well camouflaged and know how to hide effectively.

To survive a python attack spiritually, you need to wield the sword of the spirit, the word of God. Give praise and worship often. Don’t forget your prayer time. It is valuable. It is imperative. Prayer and praise, pulverise the python.

If you don’t know which enemy is attacking you, whether it be satanic, demonic, principalities, or powers, pray in tongues until the oppression lifts, until you detect a shift in the atmosphere, or a lightness of spirit. Pray in tongues until you discern peace, or you sense a leading towards a direction you’re comfortable with.

Remember, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force (Matt 11:12). You need to fight for what you want. Don’t fall in a heap, rise. Lift your eyes and your voice and call out to the God of heaven. 

Psalm 91:15 states; “he will call on Me and I will answer him.” Put your trust God and you will get through your most challenging times, regardless of the python, or any other enemy, which might be attacking you.
