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

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...

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...
