Prayer against python spirit

      The python spirit is a demonic force that seeks to suffocate, restrict, and hinder spiritual progress. This spirit is referenced in Acts 16:16-18, where Paul encounters a slave girl possessed by a spirit of divination (python in Greek). This spirit attempts to control, deceive, and manipulate destinies. Many believers experience its attacks through oppression, spiritual fatigue, financial struggles, and stagnation. This prayer is designed to break its hold and bring complete deliverance.

Understanding the Python Spirit

      The python spirit works subtly but aggressively. Just like a real python suffocates its prey by wrapping around it, this spirit attempts to:

● Drain spiritual strength – causing prayerlessness, lack of faith, and disconnection from God.

● Bring oppression and heaviness – leading to depression, confusion, and despair.

● Cause financial struggles – blocking financial breakthroughs and creating unnecessary burdens.

● Delay and stagnate destinies – hindering promotions, business growth, and ministry progress.

● Manipulate dreams and revelations – leading to deception, false prophecies, and confusion.

      To break free from this spirit, one must stand on the authority of Jesus Christ and apply prayer, fasting, and the Word of God.

Powerful Prayer Against the Python Spirit

1. Acknowledging God’s Authority

   "Heavenly Father, I come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Your Word says that in the name of Jesus, every knee must bow, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth (Philippians 2:10). I submit myself under Your authority and resist the devil. Your Word declares that when I resist the enemy, he must flee (James 4:7)."

2. Breaking the Grip of the Python Spirit

   "I take authority over every python spirit that has been assigned to suffocate my life, my finances, my health, my relationships, and my spiritual growth. In the name of Jesus, I break every stronghold of oppression, manipulation, and deception. Every spirit that seeks to choke my destiny, I command you to lose your grip now! The blood of Jesus is against you! You have no power over me, and I reject your influence in every area of my life."

   "Every attack of the enemy that seeks to delay or hinder my breakthrough is destroyed by the fire of the Holy Spirit. I reject every spirit of limitation, heaviness, and stagnation. I cancel every demonic assignment, and I decree and declare that I am free in Jesus’ name!"

3. Declaring God’s Promises and Restoration

   "Lord, Your Word says in Isaiah 10:27 that the anointing breaks the yoke. I receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit over my life, breaking every chain, curse, and bondage caused by the python spirit. I declare that I walk in freedom, power, and victory. No longer will I be suffocated by oppression, financial setbacks, or spiritual dryness. I receive life and life more abundantly (John 10:10)."

   "I declare that my mind is renewed (Romans 12:2), my faith is strengthened, and my prayer life is restored. Every stolen blessing must be returned sevenfold (Proverbs 6:31). I will prosper and move forward in my calling, in Jesus’ mighty name!"

4. Covering Yourself with the Blood of Jesus

   "I cover myself, my family, my home, and everything that concerns me with the blood of Jesus. Let the fire of the Holy Spirit surround me as a hedge of protection (Zechariah 2:5). No demonic force shall come near my dwelling (Psalm 91:10). Every monitoring spirit, every satanic trap, and every deception is exposed and destroyed by the power of God!"

   "I invite the Holy Spirit to fill every empty space in my life. Let rivers of living water flow through me, bringing restoration, clarity, and divine direction. I walk in freedom, and I claim my victory in Jesus’ mighty name! Amen!"

Additional Steps for Breaking Free from the Python Spirit

1. Stay in Prayer & Fasting – Fasting weakens the enemy’s hold and strengthens your spirit (Matthew 17:21).

2. Immerse Yourself in God’s Word – Read and declare Scriptures like Isaiah 54:17, Luke 10:19, and Ephesians 6:10-18.

3. Break Ungodly Agreements – Renounce any past involvement with divination, false prophecies, or occult practices.

4. Surround Yourself with Strong Believers – Spiritual battles require strong community and intercessory prayer.

5. Live a Righteous Life – Repent of any open doors that might give the enemy access and walk in obedience to God.

      If you have been feeling spiritually drained, facing constant delays, or experiencing oppression, it may be an attack from the python spirit. Stand firm in faith, declare your freedom in Christ, and use the power of prayer and God’s Word to break its hold. Jesus has already won the victory—walk in it!
