Part 1:
The Lord released
these scriptures this month as His wisdom to us, His people, and then spoke
prophetically concerning them as a key for us to hear Him in this time of m=
uch
trouble and travail. There is so much that can be said concerning the wisdom
that is within these scriptures, but it is my assignment just to convey what
the Lord wanted to reveal to us as it applies to what we may be dealing with
right now. The Lord said He is breathing new life into His word so the power
and the manifestation of it will overcome every obstacle we may face. …The grass withereth,
the flower fadeth : but the word of our God shall stand for ever. Isaiah 40:8=
<= o:p>
The wisdom of the World versus the
wisdom of God and the spirit of Python.
The Lord began to reveal to me th=
at
much of what we are seeing demonstrated in the world and its system right n=
ow
is the wisdom of the world in full operation versus the infinite wisdom of =
God.
In I Corinthians, Paul wanted to emphasize the importance of the anointing =
and
the power of the Holy Spirit in his own life and not his own abilities vers=
us
what seems to be right, intelligent or even reasonable in the eyes of man. =
We know that judgment begins in t=
he
House of the Lord (I Peter
The Lord said the dangerous thing=
is
that there is so much deception riding upon a string of truth until it has
affected, even polluted, the streams of well-intended individuals. But we m=
ust
return to the word of God in order to properly discern who is talking. Is it
the Lord? Or is it the arm of the flesh?
Even if it is God’s judgment
that is being executed in our nation---it would never be executed without t=
he
foundation of His Love for His people, in that there would be resolve and a
redemptive purpose along with a reformation of His sovereign purposes for t=
he
building up of His Kingdom. (This paragraph is my opinion.)
We must be careful when we declare
why and what God is doing in what we may see within our own borders concern=
ing
some of the confusion and turmoil in the land. The Lord revealed to me that=
the
Spirit of Python is in operation against His anointed in this season, and t=
hat
we must be on guard with what we hear and what we believe others are saying=
in
His name, as well as the plans of the enemy are in force to oppose the work=
of
the kingdom in this hour.
But there is a coded and loaded k=
ey in
this scripture that the Lord wants us to see. Even the princes of this world
executed a plan of destruction, (to destroy Christ) but in the midst of that
plan God prepared our victory. So despite the plans of destruction, decepti=
on,
and undoing that the enemy is causing at this time, we must remember that t=
he
Lord God has ordained a greater plan of victory.

You must read the 16th chapter =
of
Acts to get a full understanding about the word Python and the word div=
ination
that it represents. Notice the strong’s
concordance makes reference to this spirit. Its origin is found in
mythology—the region where the oracle of
The following is an excerpt authored by Bobbie Jean
Merck.
Acts 16:16 in t=
he
Amplified Bible says, as we were on our way to the place of prayer, we were=
met
by a slave girl who was possessed by a spirit of divination [claiming to
foretell future events and to discover hidden knowledge], and she brought h=
er
owners much gain by her fortunetelling. She kept following Paul and [the re=
st
of] us, shouting loudly, These men are the serva=
nts of
the Most High God! They announce to you the way of salvation! And she did t=
his
for many days. Then Paul, being sorely annoyed and worn out, turned and sai=
d to
the spirit within her, I charge you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out=
of
her! And it came out that very moment. The King James Bible says it came out
the same hour.
Python as demonstrated above 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, chu=
rch
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
Divination means using witchcraft to try to discover future events or
cause future events to happen by supernatural means. When you see the spiri=
t of
divination (python) operating, you will also see false prophesying, and a
profit motive. Money will be attached just as it was in Acts:
When python is
operating, look for heaviness, sorrow, depression and oppression=
. There will be
manipulation involved and people w=
ill
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 cal=
led
you to do.
The ruling spir=
it
of Python will many times hide behind other demons but he is controlling th=
eir
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 Chr=
ist.
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 chur=
ch
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 th=
at
draws people. Seducing spirits use lust, greed and pride to lead people ast=
ray.
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
fell 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 t=
his
enemy.
- R=
emember,
the serpent in Genesis was a beguiling one: seeking to convince Eve th=
at
God said something that He didn’t say and twisting even the intend of God’s word.
- This spirit will use religio=
us
traditions, the law, and self-righteousness to control/restrict and
manipulate =
people
within the church.
- Because idolatry, deception,=
and
divination are the foundation of this spirit ---watch false doctrine <=
/span>and even the refusal to resp=
ect
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.
- T=
he
assignment of this enemy is to break down God’s plans and purpos=
es
by attacking various individu=
als
and trying to cause confusion/strife amongst the group that is mov=
ing
forward to accomplish the work of God. (Undermining leadership,
rebellion).
- A
python is known to lay eggs i=
n 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).
- Isaiah 59 gives a lot of ins=
ight
into the serpent’s mindset and activity. There are also keys to des=
troy
his lair (den). The word c=
ockatrice
means poisonous snake or adder. Strong’s 06848 Hebrew
- Remember, this enemy feeds u=
pon
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 en=
emy.

Part
II
For,
now I have set my plans in order, and I have prepared my strategies. For as=
the
days ahead unfold, you will see sporadic attacks from the enemy. Including
everything from plots of terrorism upon my people,
But,
know that even in the midst of all that is occurring and all the uncertainty
that the hour is revealing, I have prepared a plan within a plan for your
victory, saith the Lord. For in this time, you =
will
see and know your enemy as he approaches, and much of what he will try to
implement he will not be able to accomplish; for I am opening the eyes and =
ears
of my watchmen and intercessors, and I am sending down my angelic host to
protect my people. Much of this activity will be quelled and spoiled by fer=
vent
prayer; and the cries of my people for deliverance are being heard at this =
very
hour.
For
much of the power and ability of this enemy lies within the fear of those w=
ho
are under attack. You must walk out your faith (of what you know to be true
according to my word) and you will not fail. Know that much of the battle t=
hat
you are facing is a psychological one. Don’t be ignorant of his devic=
es,
and don’t allow your words to hinder your progress.
I
say to you today, “Rise up in the strength of your Father. Rise up and
take that which I have placed in you, and walk in the power of my Spirit an=
d my
anointing that I have given before the foundation of the world. Walk in the
power which I have placed in your mouth to speak, command, and decree; and =
let
my word cut off every work that the enemy is trying to challenge and confro=
nt
you with now.” For I am shifting things in this season, and know that
they that “do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. (Dan. =
So
don’t allow the challenges of the day to cause you to faint and lose
hope, for I am releasing the strategies of Kings and Priests which will
continue to build, accomplish, and establish Kingdom priorities and that wi=

carry answers to the dilemmas that your land is now facing. This month mark=
s a
special time of my renewed strength and glory coming upon my people to go f=
orth
and execute all the work that must be done now upon the land. In this month,
you will see power struggles within our own borders even within your
government, and there will be some astonishing results that will take place
now. Even within the midst of turmoil, I will be setting the stage for order
and a changing of the guard that will work according to my plan and not what
the world system is dictating. And what the enemy tried to set for evilR=

shall turn around for good. So judge nothing before the time, for I am chan=

and removing the false foundations that have been established by men and I =
am
setting in order the fulfillment of my covenant.
And
I shall loose the loins of kings, and there will also be a shifting of the
wealth in this nation. And those who have put their trust in mammon will
receive more uncertainty. But those who have put their trust in me shall se=
e a
new wellspring of resources coming forth now. For I have made room for you
(Rehoboth – Gen. 26:22), and in this well of resources shall come for=
th a
divine supply that will sustain you in the days ahead. So stay before me. W=

Watch. Fast and pray. For, you will see the beginning of things now that wi=

witness to you small victories. And these victories will lead to greater
victories and you will possess your possession in the land with a greater
dominion that will be apparent even before you in the presence of your enem=
ies.
So rise up and “quit ye like men” (I Cor.
16: 13), for the victory of my power will be made manifest in you as you wa=
