THE PYTHON SPIRIT

The Python spirit is identified in Acts 16:16 as the spirit of divination (the original Greek refers to it as python). The Python looks to crush your spirit. It’s familiar spirit, Death, looks to take your life. Python works with the spirit of pharmakeia: drug abuse, witchcraft and sorcery will activate it. So does yoga: what the yogis refer to as Kundalini is indeed Python. Every yoga pose is an act of worship to Hindu gods. The yogi will tell you that you are “activating your chakras” but in reality you are opening yourself up to demonic torment. Stay away from eastern transcendental meditation, acupuncture, and the like. These all have an Anti Christ spirit attached to them. If you check your horoscope, have visited a fortune teller or bought a ouija board or a deck of tarot cards “just for fun” you’ve not only invited the Python spirit but also its attached (familiar) demons to vex you.

This demonic attack is usually summoned by a witch or a warlock, whether to control you or simply because you offended them in some way (they have very fragile egos, so it probably wasn’t something you did on purpose). A family history of witchcraft and in many cases of Jezebel (please see The Jezebel Spirit) which brings people into a fascination with the occult, could also be source. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the source of your involvement. We are called to be a peculiar people set apart to Christ. You must repent of all these demonic activities immediately. Please refer to the post Subtle And Overt Witchcraft.

Warfare Prayer:

Father I come before Your throne of mercy and grace and beg for forgiveness. I repent of opening any door to the spirit of Python. I sever all soul ties with any witches that I inadvertently bound myself to and who are now sending this demon to attack me. Python, I scale you, cut off your head and tail. The sword of the Spirit cuts you into pieces. I burn your head and body in Holy Spirit fire which utterly consumes you. I bind and cast out the spirits of death, pharmakeia and all familiar spirits which have attached themselves to me. You are all rendered powerless. I am covered by the blood of Jesus; you have no legal rights to me anymore. Leave me, never to return. I declare this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, amen.

THE INCUBUS SPIRIT

While in the western culture we are familiar with a baby Cupid who has wings, a bow and arrow, his original form is nothing like this. In Greek mythology, Cupid, a god, falls for a human woman (Satan, ever the copycat, fooled the ancient Greeks into reenacting Genesis 6:2). He is a mysterious lover who visits his “wife” in the cover of night, forbidding her to see his appearance.
In the demonic realm, this spirit is called Incubus. It attacks women at night as they sleep. Note that it disguises itself as Succubus, the demon that attacks men, but in reality they are one in the same. I believe them to be the fallen angels in the verse mentioned above. Those angels mated with women and impregnated them; I believe this was the reference to the warning by the Apsotle Paul to women (1 Cor 11:10).

The Incubus spirit is acknowledged throughout different cultures worldwide. It actually has sexual relations with its victim. This is commonly known as wet dreams and is welcomed by the victim in some cases. In others, the victim wakes during the attack and is understandably horrified. Some are widowed and believe it is their dead spouse providing comfort. Please understand, it is not the spirit of your dead spouse-it is a demon. Over time, it will call itself your spirit husband or wife, and if you are married it will do its best to separate you from your spouse.

Most victims do not seek help because of the shame and the inability of most psychologists and even pastors to deal with this phenomenon. They keep it to themselves and just hope it doesn’t happen again. Some may actually derive pleasure and are ashamed to admit it so they keep it a secret.

Unfortunately for some of this demon’s victims it will eventually start attacking during the day. You can be at work and this demon will force itself on you. It also turns very violent over time. This is not something you can ignore and just hope it goes away. It needs to be dealt with and you need deliverance.

Be aware: adultery and sexual sin (incuding masturbation) open doors to the Incubus spirit. Lust, perversion and whoredoms are this demon’s familiar spirits. Masturbation can also open doors to homosexual and lesbian spirits: you are touching your manhood/womanhood. If you have been a victim of rape or molestation the Incubus spirit will likely attach itself to you. Parents, understand: the spirit of Rape, Molestation and Incubus will attach themselves to your lineage if you do not seal the doors opened by your victimization. What I am saying is that you must seal those portals so that your children do not suffer the same tragedy.

In some cases you may never have opened a door to this demon but it may simply be in your bloodline (please refer to The Jezebel Spirit). I’ve had encounters myself with this demon as a former Jezebel with a family history of Jezebels. The Jezebel spirit is complex and multi-faceted; perversion is but one of its familiar spirits. If you believe this is a generational curse (if you have heard from relatives that attacks at night have “always happened in the family”), if there is a history of child molestation and/or rape in your family or if you have been a victim of rape or molestation, read my post Self Deliverance after doing as instructed below.

Lastly, it may not necessarily be a demonic spirit but instead be the human spirit of a high level witch or warlock. I recall a sister in the faith sharing how controlling her pastor was. As we were speaking I discerned that this pastor would visit her at night. The young lady confirmed that she would see her pastor standing at the foot of her bed and would also have erotic dreams with this same person. Mind you, this was a married female pastor. After asking her a few detailed questions we found the entry point and sealed that door shut. It is vital to ask the Holy Spirit to confirm whether it’s an incubus/succubus spirit or a human spirit.

Nothing is impossible for those who believe (Mark 9:23). Pray, asking the Holy Spirit to free you. Living a set apart life of holiness is key; let go anyone and everyone that cannot respect the boundaries you will put in place to be set free and remain free from bondage. No more rated R movies or porn, no more romance novels, no more drinking and clubbing, no more flirting with the opposite sex. Enter into a season of consecration that will usher you into purity.

Now, to battle this demon: anoint yourself nightly and anoint your bed before turning in. Recite these verses out loud every night:When I lie down, I will not be afraid; When I lie down, my sleep will be sweet-Proverbs 3:24

When I lie down, I will not be afraid; When I lie down, my sleep will be sweet-Proverbs 3:24

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, LORD, have me dwell in safety-Psalm 4:8

And Psalm 91 in its entirety.

If after anointing yourself and praying the prayer below you continue to suffer from nightly attacks then please ask the Lord to send you to a deliverance minister who can help you. There are some out there. Do not lose hope. Seek help.

Warfare Prayer:

Father, please forgive me for opening any door to this demon. I humbly and wholeheartedly repent. I renounce any activity with the occult and any sexual sin I have committed. I bind and cast out (Incubus/Succubus) and its familiar spirits (name whatever spirit that the Holy Spirit brings to mind). (If it’s a human spirit, take the time to seek out the point of entry. You may have get rid of certain objects and you will definitely have to cut off all ties with that person. Proceed as the Holy Spirit leads. Prayer and fasting are crucial.) I now seal that door shut with the blood of Christ and ask You to keep me from opening it ever again. Hide me in the shadow of Your wing. Do not let me wander from You. Keep me safe, YHVH.

Father, dispatch warring angels to battle for me in the spirit and assign guardian angels to surround my bed. I forbid you, Incubus)Succubus to attack me ever again. You have no power over me and no place in my home. Leave now and never return! We are NOT legally married in the spirit-I do not belong to you. You have no legal claim over me. I rip to shreds any marital contract I may have signed in the spirit through sin and burn in in the Holy Ghost fire. That sin is now covered under the blood. I am free from you. I pray and give thanks and praise in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, amen.

SUBTLE AND OVERT WITCHCRAFT

Any dabbling in the occult: playing with an ouija board, bloody mary, charlie charlie, etc. Just once is enough to blow any demonic portal wide open. Do you identify with your zodiac sign and check your horoscope daily? Christians, this also includes that 4 Temperaments nonsense that is widely believed in the church today.
Do you practice reiki, acupuncture, or aromatherapy? Do you burn sage to “cleanse the atmosphere”? Do you practice yoga? Please understand that each pose is a form of worship to Hindu gods. Opening your “chakras” and blanking out your mind as a form of meditation goes against biblical instruction (Deuteronomy 4:19, 12:30-32 and 17:3, 2 Corinthians 6:17 and 10:5, Galatians 4:8-12, Ephesians 5:7-11, Colossians 2:8, 2 Thessalonians 2:15).

Masonry: this is a common generational curse. You do not have to be a mason to suffer spiritual attacks originating from the curses brought on by your ancestors’ involvement in masonry. If you have any masonic paraphernalia, please throw it out immediately, or better yet, destroy it (1 Chronicles 14:12, Acts 19:19).
Carvings, images, and statues: Exodus 20:4 and Deuteronomy 5:8 are very clear. I believe YHVH forbids them because they open doors (portals) in the spirit realm. I had to throw out several mementos from trips to foreign countries after coming to the understanding that I risked opening doors.

The same goes for Mardi Gras beads: you can be sure they are “prayed over” by voodoo priests. Any cursed object in your home will wreak havoc, I guarantee it. We are not to own paintings of Christ like the famous Sacred Heart of Jesus, nor have crucifixes. A well known former satanic priest who is now a devout Catholic states in his testimony how a woman handed him a small picture of Mary and that as soon as he held it in his hand he was transported to the presence of the “Blessed Mother.” These images are portals; do not risk opening them. The Holy Spirit even convicted me of owning a small statue of the Lion of Judah that I had received as a thank you gift for a love offering to an evangelical ministry years ago. It does not matter that you do not bend your knee to any of these: we are forbidden in Scripture to keep them.

As for stained glass: the Greek orthodox believe the icons of biblical depictions on stained glass windows can come to life. Again, these images are portals. It is best to play it safe and not find out if it is indeed possible.

Anklets: they are mentioned in Isaiah 3:16. It is best to play it safe and just not wear them.

Be careful with birthstone jewelry, as well. If you insist on wearing any: anoint each piece with oil, cover it with the blood of Jesus, and break any curses over it.

Perfume: this was a personal revelation. One morning, as I woke up, the Holy Spirit said to me, “Stop wearing perfume. You are not to entice men.” Pray on it.

Keys: Do you sometimes find keys in your home that do not open any door? Do yourself a favor and throw them away. Keys open doors: it is their function. Do not open doors in the spirit realm. Any key that is not in use in your home does not belong there.

Vows and broken promises: your word is binding (Numbers 30:1-2, Deuteronomy 23:23, Psalm 89:34). Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you any promises, oaths, or covenants (whether they be emotional, physical, or spiritual) that you may have made with someone, regardless of the type of relationship. Release that person and release yourself. And who has not spoken rashly to a loved one in anger and said something you later regretted? Ask the Lord to forgive you and cancel those words. Learn to keep short accounts with God. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

Pay attention to your dreams. If someone is hurting you in your dream, then they wish to harm you in real life. Someone offering you food in dreams usually means they are doing witchcraft.

Anoint your home on a regular basis. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit; if He tells you to throw away an object, no matter the sentimental value, do it! It is a cursed object, and in many cases, it was given to you by a witch as a point of contact. That connection also permits the witch to astral project and visit you. When in doubt, toss it out! Again, there are biblical examples of burning occult objects (1 Chronicles 14:12, Acts 19:19). If you feel led and can do this safely, I would recommend it.

Also, whenever you move into a new space or purchase property, anoint that space (walk the perimeter of the property and anoint each side) and remit the sins committed there by the previous owner/resident. Break any curses spoken it and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any cursed objects left behind, either deliberately or by mistake.

Witches roam the hallways of nursing homes, hospices, and hospitals looking to “steal” the last breath of the dying. By absorbing that life force, they obtain more power, which is their obsession. Remember, their master comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; we can not expect his servants to do any less. Protect your loved ones. Anoint and pray over your elderly family members in nursing homes and your loved ones who are patients in hospitals. Assign guardian angels around their bed for the length of their stay and set up a wall of fire around them (Zechariah 2:5).

The same applies to newborns: parents, be very careful who you allow in the delivery room. I understand that you wish to share this special moment with loved ones; please prayerfully consider the spiritual climate that your baby will be born into. And while you don’t have a say in which doctor and nurse will be present, you can certainly pray for protection. There are many witches and satanists working in the medical field. Please follow the recommendations listed above.

Some witches/warlocks use scramblers. By that, I refer to cell phone jammers that interfere with the phone’s signal and render it powerless. They can hide behind a facade and fool even the most discerning eye. A life devoted to prayer and fasting will prompt the Holy Spirit to reveal a witch/warlock when you haven’t yet caught on. Again, pay attention to your dreams.

Circles represent covenant. This is why we use wedding bands. This is also why witches of all types will draw circles on the floor to perform rituals. I’m wary of any symbols, such as the anarchy symbol, which is in a circle. The same goes for lots of musical bands’ logos, especially heavy metal. This does not mean that every last organization or group is satanic; in many instances, it is simply used in ignorance.

Large Rings and beaded bracelets/necklaces: witches and warlocks use amulets to ward off curses and hexes; likewise, they use talismans as points of contact with the demons they recruit to feed them information and power. Be very careful with these modern-day prophets who never “prophesy” without one of these pieces of jewelry. Ask them about it and watch their reaction.

Mirrors: Witches and warlocks use mirrors to peek into your home and your life. Of course, in order to do so, they need to have established a connection with you. Anoint your mirrors (and windows) regularly. Just a dab will do, and as you anoint each mirror, pronounce out loud that you are covering it with the blood of Christ and forbid any demonic or human spirits to spy on you.

No salt! If your pastor or anyone, for that matter, ever insists in using salt in a ritual or ceremony, politely decline. That is witchcraft, whether they know it or not. They may bring up 2 Kings 2:21. I’m not a fan of using a single verse when potentially playing with fire.

Control/manipulation: do you, wife, pit your children against their father (or vice versa)? Do you practice bedroom blackmail (refuse to have relations with your spouse if they do not fulfill your wishes)? Do you browbeat your spouse and children (this includes nagging)? Do you give your spouse the silent treatment when you’re angry? Then, you inadvertently practice witchcraft. Repent, which means acknowledge and change. This is coming from a woman who has been delivered from the Jezebel spirit.

Always, always pray over your food. Break any curses spoken over it and cast out any harmful items placed into it (whether in the natural or in the spirit). Pray for the food your children will eat that day, whether in school or at someone else’s home. Teach them, in simple terms, and in a way that will not frighten them to pray for protection from harm over their food.

Anoint your television, tablet, and phone screens, especially wherever your children watch shows, movies, or videos. Make sure you pray over every show you allow your kids to watch. Bind demons and break curses and spells that more than likely are placed into these shows, as innocent as they seem. Sit with your kids and watch with them. Pay attention to the graphics and to what is being said.
Listen to what your babies tell you! If your child says, “Mommy, so and so from (his favorite show) just came out of the television and talked to me!”, believe him! He is not making it up or imagining things. (Be careful with imaginary friends. Ask your child if he has one and what it tells him to do.)

Remember, you are the spiritual authority in your home. It is your obligation to make it a safe spiritual atmosphere for your family. I pray this blesses you.
