Demonic Teaching Spirits
We are in a spiritual war. Spirits teaching on authority to cast out demons, bind and loose spirits, use the name of Jesus-our warfare is not carnal[1]. Christians and the church is in a war for dominion, kingdom against kingdom, culture against culture. Values against values, lines of thinking against all the things of God. There are places where demonically influenced rulers reside, govern and oversee their agendas. We forget that evil spirits teach. They have wiles, seductions, philosophies, beliefs, values and world views. They pass on these teachings to men who in turn pass them on to saints and the church. When men gather around demonic inspired teachings they develop a kingdom.
Kingdoms are recognized by culture. Cultures can conflict with the kingdom of darkness for example which will conflict with the kingdom of light. The “type of conflict” is based on the city or nation you reside. Remedy: see yourself as a teacher, as an official representative of the kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God
3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Pet 1:3-8 NKJV
Biblical values are at the core of the soul. They define our understanding of right and wrong, good and evil, and determine how we see the world. The demonic forces can be defeated. We can use different prayer groups in our churches paying close attention to the needs of that group. But intercession must be one of the group’s total job.
We must always be on the attack with a strategy that will always keep the enemy off balance. No weapon formed can keep up with the well-equipped saints.
Revealing the Spirit of Python
O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth,[a] before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you[b] as crucified?
Galatians 3:1 NKJV
The ultimate purpose or goal of the spirit of python is to crush and destroy the vision, dreams and hope of individuals and the church. (Jer. 29: 11, Prov. 29:, Acts 2:17-18, Rom 11:29) This evil spirit wants to choke out your hope, destroy the work of faith and the high calling of God in Christ in your life and the life of the ministry. The spirit of Python loves to “play” with it’s victims by squeezing them until their almost dead then releasing its grip some what, the squeezing again, time and time again. Ultimately bring death. This is why one sees ministries and individuals that always seem to be on a roller coaster ride. Up one moment, down the next, success and prosperity today, failure and devastation tomorrow, only to rise up again, only to fall again. Each time they fall and sink lower than ever before.
Some agree but they say, “He doesn’t have me. He may choke others but not me. I’m loyal to God and the church.” These individuals are not tithers, they only give lip service, and ask foolish questions that divide. They choke out any strong biblical point that is made. They never stand solidly behind leadership. They always look to let those that stir-up strife and division be heard and go free.
The spirit of python is the source of witchcraft and divination. Divination, the art of obtaining secret knowledge, especially of future plans, is a pagan counterpart of prophecy. People controlled by the spirit of python will wander from church to church, never becoming rooted, never established in a local body.
Very good!
