Spirit of Python

From the first book of the bible,Genesis, to the last book known as Revelation, the bible describes Satan, the devil, as Serpent. He was there in the Garden and he will be present waging war in the last days.

"Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. " 

Gen.3:1

                                                                                                                                                       

"And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years." 

Rev. 20:2

Jesus Himself referred to Satan, devils and evil spirits as serpents - Luke 10: 17 - 20.

Serpent, a synonym for Snake have fifteen recognized families comprising 456 genera and over 2,900 species.
However, in the book of the Acts of the Apostles, one specific species is mentioned. The Acts of the Apostles was successfully written by Luke the Physician. He could write the book simply because the Apostles acted! They didn't just hear the commandments and instructions of Jesus, but they acted upon the Word. That is what faith is. Faith is to act upon the Word!
We are still living in the dispensation where the Word needs to be believed and acted upon in order to produce.
In Acts 16, Paul and Silas were confronted by a specific spirit referred to as Python. Out of all the species of snake, the bible specifically mentions Python.

What is Python?
Pythons are a family of non-venomous snakes. Among its members are some of the largest snakes in the world. Most members of this family are ambush predators, in that they typically remain motionless in a camouflaged position and then strike suddenly at passing prey. They will generally not attack humans unless startled or provoked. Prey is killed by a process known as constriction, then, by applying and maintaining sufficient pressure to prevent it from inhaling, the prey eventually succumbs due to asphyxiation. Death is caused by suffocation, with the victim not being able to move its ribs to breathe while it is being constricted.

Paul and Silas was on the way to pray and was confronted by a woman demon-possessed with a spirit of python.
Prayer is communion and communication with God. This communion maintain the life of God in us. The spirit of Python is after breath. Breath in the bible refers to the life of God (Gen. 2:7, John 20:21-22). The spirit of python wants to choke the life of God out of you. It squeezes and constrict you as a victim. Suddenly, you feel pressured, burdened, discouraged and the life, love, joy and peace of God is slowly being choked out of you.
Now, you don't feel like praising God. You no longer want to pray and spend time with God. Suddenly, you begin to compromise the Words of God...Python is choking the breath of God out of you...

Want to know more?

Come and listen to this powerful, life changing meeting on Wednesday. This teaching will be available on CD and DVD in Creole. It is a two part series and will help you understand and be delivered from the spirit of python.
Don't be a prey to this spirit. Overcome it by the power of the Word in the name of Jesus. This spirit will try to imprison you like it did with Paul and Silas but if you begin to praise God even when you may not feel like it, then the presence and power of God will manifest to set you free.

Discernement

“…Et plusieurs faux prophètes s'élèveront et en séduiront plusieurs: et parce que l'iniquité prévaudra, l'amour de plusieurs sera refroidi.”  Mat 24:11-12

Dans ce verset, Jésus Christ révéla l’avènement des derniers jours à ses disciples 2000 ans de cela en disant que l’amour de plusieurs saint se refroidirait.

L’Apôtre Paul donna cet enseignement à Timothée :

 « Sache que, dans les derniers jours, il y aura des temps difficiles.  Car les hommes seront égoïstes, amis de l'argent, fanfarons, hautains, blasphémateurs, rebelles à leurs parents, ingrats, irréligieux, insensibles, déloyaux, calomniateurs, intempérants, cruels, ennemis des gens de bien, traîtres, emportés, enflés d'orgueil, aimant le plaisir plus que Dieu, ayant l'apparence de la piété, mais reniant ce qui en fait la force. Éloigne-toi de ces hommes-là. Il en est parmi eux qui s'introduisent dans les maisons, et qui captivent des femmes d'un esprit faible et borné, chargées de péchés, agitées par des passions de toute espèce, apprenant toujours et ne pouvant jamais arriver à la connaissance de la vérité. »

2 Timothée 3 :1 - 7

Beaucoup de Chrétiens aujourd’hui ne connaissent même pas les Dix Commandements, mais dans le livre D’Exode, la Bible stipule :

« Tu ne prendras point le nom de l'Éternel, ton Dieu, en vain; car l'Éternel ne laissera point impuni celui qui prendra son nom en vain. »

Exode 20 :7

L’Apôtre Jean lui même nous enseigne d’éprouver tout les esprits pour savoir s’ils sont de Dieu et il confirme également les paroles de Jésus qui dit que beaucoup de faux prophètes viendront pour séduire dans les derniers temps

« Bien-aimés, n'ajoutez pas foi à tout esprit; mais éprouvez les esprits, pour savoir s'ils sont de Dieu, car plusieurs faux prophètes sont venus dans le monde. Reconnaissez à ceci l'Esprit de Dieu: tout esprit qui confesse Jésus Christ venu en chair est de Dieu; et tout esprit qui ne confesse pas Jésus n'est pas de Dieu, c'est celui de l'antéchrist, dont vous avez appris la venue, et qui maintenant est déjà dans le monde. Vous, petits enfants, vous êtes de Dieu, et vous les avez vaincus, parce que celui qui est en vous est plus grand que celui qui est dans le monde.

Plus que jamais, nous devons apprendre a discerner la volonté de Dieu pour notre vie et ce qu’Il désire vraiment pour nous. »

1Jean 4 :1-4

Nous ne pouvons pas écouter chaque personne qui parle en disant : « Ainsi parle L’Eternel » ou « L’Eternel me dit de te dire » ou « L’Eternel m’a dit ».  Il nous faut mesurer et juger chaque parole en accord avec le caractère et la Parole de Dieu.

Comment savoir si une parole vient de Dieu, de l’homme ou du diable ?

Cet enseignement du Pasteur James Arekion vous éclaircira sur ce sujet.

Chaque enseignement de notre Pasteur est basé sur les Ecritures. 

Rejoignez-nous afin que ce message ouvre vos yeux, bâtisse votre foi et change votre vie.

« Car Dieu n'est pas un Dieu de désordre, mais de paix. Comme dans toutes les Églises des saints »

Why should I go to church?

There are many believers who don't attend church today. They reason that they do not need to attend because they do not see the relevance of church or that they do not have time for church. If our mind and reasoning are above knowledge of the Word of God then we are sinning. Our mind and reasoning should be in line with the Word of God. We are to be obedient to His Word, Principles, Knowledge and Wisdom. When our mind reason against the Word, we are rebelling against God and His Word.

Not going to church continuously is rebelling continuously.

 
Biblical reasons why I should attend church:

• To be like Jesus, to imitate Him

 "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read." 

Luke 4:16

Jesus developed a habit of going to church. Our main goal is imitate Christ. His custom was attending church, we need to do the same.

• Obeying God's Word and command

"And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

Heb 10:24-26

God who instituted the church has said that we should not neglect the gathering of the saints.To do so is to sin and to be fighting against God. Gamaliel, a doctor of the Law declared that no man can win when they fight against God (Acts5:34-39). If we want to obey God then we must keep his institution.

• To be under spiritual authority

The New Testament teaches that every believer is to be under the protection and nurture of the leadership and authority of the local church. These godly people can shepherd the believer by encouraging, admonishing, and teaching. It provides accountability and responsibility. God designed this system of accountability for the progress and protection of His flock. This will not be possible unless we are a part of an organized fellowship which has identified pastors,elders, or leaders. Submission necessitates a commitment and relationship to a local body of believers and to their spiritual leaders. If a believer refuses to be in church and under its authority then the believer is acting like a bastard who has no spiritual parent to correct and instruct him/her.

• It is an expression of our love and obedience to God

 "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me."
John 14:23-24

If we say that we love Jesus, then we will do what he says. When we go to church, we are saying that we love and obey the Lord's sayings. we submit to his authority.

• You and your family need godly influence

Living in a world where good is now considered evil and vice versa, we need to see that there are others who believe like we do. Your family and specially your children need to see that other families and people believe the same Word of God that you believe. This gives them courage to face unbelieving friends and to stand true. It is a fact that children who attends church have higher values than children who do not.
