Acts 16:18 “And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee: – IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST to come out of her. And he came out the same hour”. Psalm 7:9 “Oh let the WICKEDNESS OF THE WICKED COME TO AN END; but establish the just”. James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. RESIST THE DEVIL, and HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU.”

Life is a continuous cycle of warfare and miracles. One miracle leads to warfare and warfare leads to another miracle. There is no vacation in our prayer life, because it was when men slept that the devil came and sowed tares. Matthew 13:25 “BUT WHILE MEN SLEPT, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.” We have to constantly be on the offensive. We are commanded to pray without ceasing and JESUS said, men ought ALWAYS TO PRAY and not faint. Luke 18:1 “And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” The nature of our warfare determines the strategy to be employed in dealing with the camouflaging oppressive spirit.

Demons that control territories and humanity do not want to be identified, as they surreptitiously and deceptively hibernate to afflict people in every given community. Apostles Paul and Silas were led by God, having received a Macedonian call, to go to the region of Philippi and Thyatira. As they went on their evangelistic activities, they were met by two women: Lydia, who was a Godly convert and an asset in the Kingdom of God and the other, a slave girl, who was possessed with satanic spirit of Divination. Acts 16:16 “And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying”.

She was benefiting her constituents with much financial gain through the deceptive spirit of fortune telling. Bible scholars agreed that the word translated “spirit of divination,” is the “Constrict, strangulating python spirit.” It has been established that the spirit of divination works with manipulation, distraction, deception, suffocation and strangulation. Pythons always kill their preys by strategic constriction and strangulation.

They always snuff the life out of their prey and then divert resources. The Boa constrictor specialises in stretching and constricting their preys into strangulating death. In most nations of the world, the python spirit is at work causing financial, marital and career strangulation. This demonic familiar spirit operates in the neighbourhood, pretending to be a friend, but they are what the Bible calls “EVIL NEIGHBOURS”.

Jeremiah 12:14 “Thus saith the LORD against all mine EVIL NEIGHBOURS, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them”. Pythons cannot operate without being in the neighbourhood. Apostle Paul, after spiritual insights, addressed this demonic spirit of a python and commanded the foul spirit out of the slave girl’s life. Instantly, deliverance was brought to the girl and that led to the salvation of many people, including those in jail. Today, take your stand against every strangulating spirit operating in the market places, national economy and foreign exchange market.

Every force that is out to cause personal, financial, career and marital strangulation is cast out in the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS. In the Name of JESUS, you will not be strangulated financially, spiritually, maritally, academically or ministerially. We bind and cast out the spirit of strangulation from your life in the Mighty Name of JESUS. You will not be restricted, limited, constricted, strangulated, and suffocated in the Mighty Name of JESUS.

PRAYER: I submit myself to God under the Lordship of JESUS. I come against every strangulating and suffocating python spirit in JESUS HOLY NAME. I bind and cast out every foul spirit of divination and strangulation in the Mighty Name of JESUS.
