Sermon by Jentezen Franklin : The Spirit of Python : Prayer and Praise

Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty , life and freedom!




 1) Spirit of divination : Spirit of python , divination means python in Greek

"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:" Acts 16 :16

2)  Lucifer had 5 evil thoughts

"You said in your heart,
    “I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne
    above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,    on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon." Isaiah 14:13

3) The devil wants to get the anointing out of our churches and replace it with intellect..mere knowledge (of God) not a deep relationship (with God)

"My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, " 1 Corinthians 2:4

4) The spirit of python wants to choke the life/breath (The Holy Spirit) out of you

 "And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit." John 20:22

5) Few things the spirit of python doesn't like..he wouldn't want you to use these tools
  • Prayer : is exhaling (spiritually speaking) what you inhaled by reading the word of God ( "About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them" Acts 16:25)
  • Praise : is bringing glory to God no matter the situation ( "Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose." Acts 16:26)
  • Fasting : is very important in one's walk with God ("He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer." Mark 9 :29)
  • The Blood of Jesus : the Blood of Jesus covers us...pretty much makes us off limit for any schemes of the devil ("They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death." Revelations 12 :11 )  
Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

He is a Better Planner!

I did not mean to take the whole summer off from blogging it just so happen to be that way. Partly due to the numerous things that were changing in my life but more so due to lack of better planning/ time blocking. One of the highlights of my summer was becoming a Mrs. I never knew the weight the pre-fix would carry until I heard someone address me as such. I don't know about you but the Amharic word is, even more, weightier, "ወይዘሮ/weyizero"!. That was one of my life updates. Now that I said that, let's get to the meat and potatoes of my post... I have said before that I am a recovering perfectionist. Today, I stand before you confirming that statement still rings true in my life. I confess, somedays, I face some battles as if I had never before and get frustrated because I haven't gotten perfect at not being a perfectionist! You see the irony...   Tracing back where my want/need to be perfectionist came from, I was surprised to find out that it was linked to ...
