The Spirit of Divination

4/27/2017

My husband had a dream I would like to share with you.

Rich’s Dream 4/24/17
Python
 
I was at work and there was a 50 foot python that I had tied up by its tail. A friend of mine and I were going to kill it. It hung from a second-floor into a large opening room. As we were going back to kill it, it was gone. I saw it slithering away, and I grabbed its tail, and then grabbed it by its head. 
 
Next scene: I’m now outside and there is a large group of people. I see the python with its head in a puddle of murky water that had accumulated in the parking lot tree area. People were there with their children. I knew it could and would easily eat them. I’m telling them to get their children out of there. “This snake is dangerous,” I went and put my foot on its head and grabbed it again. The people would not listen, and they began to say, “It won’t hurt anyone. Let it go it is not going to hurt anybody!”  Then a police vehicle pulled up. I thought now I have to not only deal with this snake and these people, but I’m going to have to explain to the police what is going on. I woke up
 
Python: divination; fortune-telling spirit [familiar spirits]; forecasting spirit catering to the will of the people; spirit that seeks to squeeze out the spiritual life by applying pressure; imitation of the Holy Spirit’s voice; religious spirit; legalism; control; witchcraft, sorcery
 
Python one of the only named spirits in the bible in Acts 16.
 
The python is a coiling spirit that works to squeeze out the breath of life [the Holy Spirit] and cut off your lifeline to God [Prayer].
 
The python spirit can attack anyone. It even had a hold of an entire city called Philppi. We see in Acts Chapter 16 starting in verse 16, "Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling."

​
​In Greek the word divination is G4436 Puthon; A python.

​Notice that once Paul cast the demon of python out of her, her ability to see into the spirit realm was gone. Her owners were furious because they had lost their ability to make money off of this possessed woman. The python spirit had long been a part of this city, and it had wrapped itself around the entire region. The owners of this young woman dragged Paul and Silas to the authorities on the charge that they taught customs which were not lawful.

​The spirit of python is still at work today. It has a hold in many areas around the world. In this dream you'll notice the people are rising up against Rich who is trying to protect their children and even them from this snake that will slowly squeeze the life out of them. Isn't this what we see today? Witchcraft is penetrating every part of our government, religions and cities.

​In 1 Samuel 15:23 it says, "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft." Witchcraft in Hebrew means divination, (H7081). We see people flocking to theaters to watch witchcraft! Vampires, , warlocks, witches demons, zombies, and death fills the movies of today. Many wear skulls on every part of their clothing and have them tattooed to their bodies. Many participate in yoga and other eastern religious cultic practices. If you dare to say anything about these things to them, because you care enough, or try to guide them and protect them from Satan's evil schemes they will just say, "It's not hurting anybody!" 

​In this nation and around the world we are getting the life slowly sucked out of us by the python spirit. Don't be deceived by the schemes of the enemy!

Philippians 4:8-9 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

I Know You Hear Me

4/24/2017

John 11:41 – 43 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me." Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus come forth!"

This is such an important key of prayer for each one of us! If you are a believer and a follower of Jesus Christ of Nazareth do you know that the Father in heaven hears your prayers? In my prayer time I will often say, "Father I know you hear me; I know that You always hear me." I say these words to remind myself that my Father in heaven will hear my prayer. Whether the answer is yes, no or not now, I know he has heard me. Just knowing He has heard me gives me a certainty that everything will be all right.

In Mark Chapter 15 and verse 34 it says in the ninth hour that Jesus cried out with a loud voice as he hung on the cross saying, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" There was one time in the life of the Messiah that his Father forsook Him and did not hear nor answer His prayer.

Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

You see God walked on this earth in the flesh, as a man, and was tempted as we are tempted. Jesus even felt the separation of God.

Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus...............That He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.

One day we will die and we will be eternally with our Father, or we will be eternally separated from God. Jesus has already gone before us and He knows our fears, and He knows our weaknesses. He even knows the separation that we will face one day if we are not saved by His blood that He shed on Calvary. Hebrews chapter 4 goes on to say in verse 16, "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

There is an assurance that God hears your prayers when you are a believer and a follower of His Son. You may not get the answer you desire; you may not get the answer right away; but you can be assured that he has heard your prayer, and He always hears your prayers! Amen!

Silent

Well praise the Lord the 19th passed without a disaster. I have been praying since the Lord gave me the dream of a tsunami, but He has been silent so far. When I heard the words, '3 days' I thought possibly something would happen in 3 days. I prayed further but did not receive anything else.

​The world is in such chaos and on the edge of war I'm thankful for every day that passes when we do not see war come. We go from Syria and world leaders in conflict, to North Korea with world leaders lining up at their borders with military ready to take action. 

​These are chaotic days! Wars and rumors of wars. Nation rising against nation etc.. In Matthew 24 it tells us that all these things are just the beginning and the end is not yet. It goes on to say, "But he who endures to the end shall be saved."

​I pray for you today that you are enduring these times with the Lord the giver of peace by your side. I am continuing to pray for any further revelation on this dream, and I ask you to pray also. He tells us before things happen to prepare us.

​Be strong and of good courage!

Arise and be Refreshed

4/19/2017

Acts 3:2 A certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; 3. who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4. And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, "Look at us." 5. So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. 6. Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you; In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." 7. And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them-- walking, leaping, and praising God. 10. Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.     

​Arise: G1453 Arise not only from sitting or lying but from disease and death.

​Not only was he walking he was leaping and praising God! The crowd that gathered around did not come to hear a sermon, but to see a wonder at the sight of a miracle. They wondered how could this be? Peter jumped right in to share the gospel; the good news.

First he takes the glory off of himself and John, and redirects it to the God of their fathers. This would help to lead them into Jesus whom they crucified.
​Verse 13 "The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilot, when he was determined to let Him go."

​
He continues on to share the good news of Jesus rising from the dead and it is through faith in His name that Peter himself could stand there that day with perfect soundness.

​Perfect soundness: G6348 complete in every part; entire; whole

​Then comes verse 17. Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance... 

​You see it had not been that long ago it was Peter who denied Jesus. Peter the man that walked with Jesus everyday for 3 years. That saw every miracle, sign and wonder that Jesus had done. Peter that received loyalty and love from our Savior even when he failed Him.

​Maybe this is you. Your at the point that you have failed or even denied your Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The answer lies in verse 19. Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. 

Be refreshed today!!!

3 Days

4/17/2017

On 4/16/17 I had a dream that I was walking on the beach, and I had a baby, and 2 small children with me. I believe they were my grand-children, but I'm not sure. As we were walking I looked to my right and I saw a wave forming in the ocean that was quite large. I thought it was going to be a wave like a surfer would ride. I was about to point to it and show the children the large wave forming when suddenly it rose to a massive tsunami and was heading towards us. There was no time to run. I thought I have to hold on to these children or they will be swept away. I'm trying to get them all close to hold on when it hit. I woke startled. It was 3:30 am.

​I began to pray and I saw a vision of small drones all across the sky. I asked the Lord what was He trying to show me. I just kept praying and dosed off again. I heard a voice say, "3 days." I awoke startled as I heard a second time, "3 days." 

​I went into my office and was praying. I couldn't get back to sleep because I was troubled by all this and seeking an answer. Nothing else was given.

​The next day I heard about Vice-President Pence and his trip to South Korea and his stay would be 3 days. With North Korea being so defiant I'm not sure but in 3 days we may see a disaster hit. With China bringing their army up to the borders of North Korea and President Trump's confidence China will take care of this problem it is hard to say what will take place in 3 days.

​So on Wednesday 4/19/17 be alert. Hear what Holy Spirit is saying. I have not received any more than this, but with a short period of time left I felt I needed to put this dream, vision and 3 day alert out. War could break out at any moment. North Korea is threatening the U.S.  as it continues to test bombs. Are you ready for whatever the Holy Spirit tells you to do? This may not affect the U.S. at all, but it could, or it could affect other nations in terrible ways.

​Pray, pray, and then pray!

Those Pharisee Moments!

4/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Luke 7:​36 Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to eat. 37 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, 38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, “This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.”
40 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”
So he said, “Teacher, say it.”
41 “There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.”
And He said to him, “You have rightly judged.” 44 Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. 45 You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. 46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. 47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
48 Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.” [NKJV]

This is a beautiful story of Jesus's love for the broken. Notice the Pharisees first response was to attack His status as a prophet. Instead of looking at the woman who needed to be loved, truly loved, they attacked the love giver. We see this too often even today. 

Jesus said to her, "Your faith has saved you." Her faith that she had found someone who loved and saw her in a room of prominent men and had looked upon her with compassion. While simply being annoying to the owner of the house, Jesus saw every detail of her pouring out not only a flask of oil but, herself out to Him and needing His love and forgiveness.

Unfortunately, we can all behave like a Pharisee at times. Her faith saved her, it delivered her. She did not care who was in the room or how they treated her! She knew Jesus was there and she had to get close to Him and feel His divine love. The world had never shown her such love. They had never given her a way out of her sin. She had only been condemned by her sin.

Jesus works the same today. He wants to give you a way out of your sin. He desires to deliver you from the hands of the deceiver and show you true love. There is nothing that can keep you from Him if you can just have the faith to believe. When the Holy Spirit enters a room the atmosphere changes. Love, forgiveness, thankfulness are what you will see.

Many have been hurt by the Pharisees of today and left the Love Giver behind. If you have been hurt by a Christian or the "Church," and have left the body of Christ I ask you today to forgive us number one, and see Jesus for who He is. He is a Savior; a Deliverer; a lover of you! 

I'm so thankful for all these years that the Pharisees in my life did not turn me away from the Savior's love for me. I pray in my own Pharisee moments I turned no one away from you Lord!

Show Jesus to a sinner today with a special act of kindness and watch Him show up!

Hope or Confidence

4/6/2017

As I was studying yesterday for Sunday sermon on healing I was looking up scriptures and Acts 2:22 just stuck out to me from a reference. Of course the 222 caught my eye since the Lord has been giving me triple digits for the last couple of years. I turned to Acts 2:22 and read it.

Acts 2:22 Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know- [NKJV]

​It was amazing how this verse was tied into what I have been hearing from the Lord. We see this verse following the quote from Joel in verses 17-21 about the last days where God says, "I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh... "

​In my last 2 blogs I shared of the triple digits and searching for their meaning. Dr. Patricia Green giving a word if you have been seeing triple digits to get ready for His manifest presence. I also received a word from the Lord that what is ahead is frightening and He needed us to see the darkness to prepare for it and now He needs us to see the light to prepare for the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit.

​I believe the Lord is telling us we are stepping into a new time of His manifestations of miracles, signs, and wonders. What is ahead is frightening whether it is economic collapse, war, or martial law. This is a very volatile time. We will all need the manifestations of the Holy Spirit to protect us, and guide us through these times. When He gives us manna, or gems, or gold it may very well be to help us along the way. It maybe our faith needs a boost, or financially we need supernatural funding, or we need food to eat as in the days of Moses in the wilderness.

How do we prepare for the manifestation of the Holy Spirit? We must build our faith to believe.
​Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the substance [realization] of things hoped for, the evidence [confidence]  of things not seen.

​If you have a husband or wife that gets home about 5pm each day and you're in charge of dinner for the night, if your spouse is faithful and always shows up after work, you start dinner before they get home knowing they are coming. You prepare for their arrival with confidence they will be there. But if your spouse is not faithful, and has not come home after work multiple times, you may prepare that dinner a little different. You start cooking when they show up or with a hope they will show up. Key words here are a hope not a confidence.

​The Lord is forever faithful and will always show up when we ask Him to. He does things His way and not ours, but He shows up!  We need to start asking Him to show up and expecting Him then to show up. We need to start cooking the meal, setting the table, and maybe even get dressed up waiting for His arrival!

There is a change in the atmosphere. In the midst of darkness there shall be light; in the midst of chaos there shall be peace; in the midst of famine there shall be abundance.
The church will never be the same! God is shifting something in the atmosphere!


Be blessed today and expect God to do something in your life with a confidence that He always does!

The Hour for another Level of Worship

4/4/2017

0 Comments

 
​A word from the Lord 3/30/17
 
The hour for another level of worship is here. An hour of seeing great things manifest during worship. The physical eyes will begin to see what was only seen with the spiritual eyes before. Glorious appearing’s, angelic hosts, gold, gems, manna, these things were seen rarely and by few, but those that will rise up in worship will come to another level in frequency and in multiplication. Frequency not only the times, but higher frequency of the heavens. These times will multiply as those that hunger for more of Me continue on in worship and praise. Be a part of the living stream that runs from heaven’s throne today and this day forward. Worship and praise until I come. The oil will drip again from the head of the High Priest, Jesus Christ of Nazareth to the shoulders, to the body. As it ran down Aaron’s face unto his beard, and onto his garments clear to the hem of his cloak, so it will run again to My anointed. Great exploits! Greater works! This I say to My people let it run from the Savior’s hem down to your own head’s and bodies. Let it run through to your heart. Let it change you and give you peace, joy, and love for Me and for others. Unite under the oil of the Holy Ghost. Amen, and so be it. This I say the Father in heaven who created the earth and all its inhabitants.

​I love this word! I remember being very skeptical about the claims of manna from heaven, gold teeth appearing and gems found in recent church services, as we should be to a point. One day my husband said something that struck me. He said, "Why wouldn't it make you wonder if they are signs and wonders?" I thought about that. I try to limit God or try to put my earthly thinking in what I believe God would and would not do. If God rained down manna from heaven, or any of these other wonders people claim, wouldn't it make anyone wonder? Amazing wonders!!

​I do not ever want to limit God or put Him in my earthly box. I believe we will see signs and wonders in these last days. I believe we will see an increase in healings, and creative miracles. I believe! If I do not and die without seeing these things, well it was sure fun expecting more along the way. I have seen miracles, and I have been healed miraculously, and have seen amazing things in my life happen that had to be God. I would rather believe He can do anything than limit my Lord in anything.
