Python Spirit Revealed In A Dream

Let me begin by saying that spiritual knowledge or the lack thereof will remain the primary cause of whether a person will advance or be limited in life. Matters will worsen for such a person if they've concluded that our physical world is the beginning and end of all things.

Someone submitted a dream recently to me for interpretation that I have decided to use as a teachable moment. This particular teaching on dreams, I am sure you would find quite interesting and informative but more importantly, very much relative to similar experiences you've either had in the past or currently.

Good day, Mr. Ewing! I am writing you today praying that among your many emails and the assistance you provide for so many in the area of dream interpretation, you will somehow come across my email and provide me with some much-needed understanding. A few weeks ago, my wife and I had just got in from a long day's work. She had quickly prepared dinner, which afterward, I decided to sit on the couch, acknowledging how exhausted I really was. My wife proceeded to our bedroom in an attempt to complete some unfinished stuff she had from the night before. Within minutes I drifted off to sleep in a sitting position on the couch and ended up experiencing this strange dream.

I dreamt that I had walked into our bedroom, and our bedroom is situated so that we have a walk-in closet to the immediate left of entering the room. Well, upon entering our bedroom, the closet door was slightly closed, but I saw this tremendous grayish  Python snake in a stealth vertical position as if it was stuck to the closet wall. The head of this snake was almost as if it was muscular in appearance with its eyes fixed on me. Strangely enough, for some reason, I felt in the dream as if the snake could not see me, even though I was in clear view of this Python snake.

Anyway, I stood still just observing this snake. Suddenly, the scene remained the same, but the snake's position and appearance changed. Now, the snake was still a Python, but the snake is currently positioned around the closet door's borders. Amazingly, at this point, the snake's head is about the size of a peanut but still accompanied by its enormous body. Again, it is as if this snake could not see me in this dream, but I can clearly see it. The dream ended. Please, Sir! I pray that the Lord will favor me in using you to bring clarity to this perplexing dream.

Well, before I interpreted this man's dream, I had a few questions I needed to ask him to confirm what I knew the dream was revealing. Now, I pre-warned this gentleman in my email that the questions I was about to ask him may seem irrelevant to his dream but that I would need him to indulge me anyway to provide an accurate interpretation for him. The questions were as follows:

1) Have you or your wife been feeling a sense of unusual tiredness recently or for a while now?

2) Have you or your wife been experiencing bouts with procrastination, laziness, and a non-desire to complete tasks and assignments?

3) Have you or your wife been feeling as if you're not getting enough sleep. In other words, even after a long night's rest, you feel even more tired when you awake in the morning?

4) Have you or your wife been feeling drain, depleted, confused, or not having a sense of direction, or having so much to do you don't know where to start from?

5) Have you or your wife lost your desire to pray, read the bible, or seek God about things that you'd generally seek him on before. Instead, you've replaced seeking God with constant complaining and speaking negatively about everything?

6) Have you or your wife been challenged with finding pleasure in doing things that you know you should not be doing at that particular time, such as watching TV, playing a video game, listening to songs when you should be working on assignments. However, when you decide to do those assignments, you become tired, sleepy, etc.?

Well, as expected, the gentlemen's answers were yes to all of the questions I asked. As always, the dream was, in essence, revealing the spiritual root behind what was physically taking place in this couple's life. The Python snake is known in the world of dreams and the spirit realm as a Python spirit. Depending on, I guess who you ask, you would get several definitions for a Python spirit. Nevertheless, in a nutshell, a Python spirit is a spirit that attacks its victims by wrapping itself around the spirit of their victims and literally squeezing from their victim their potential, their virtue, their ambition, their purpose, their desire to achieve, etc. As a reminder, the real you is your spirit, and whatever is done to your spirit that you do not challenge will provide the basis for physical manifestation in your life.

 This couple's experiences, such as procrastination, laziness, inability to pray, and read the bible. A lack of sexual desire, always feeling tired or never feeling as if they've had enough rest, restlessness, confusion, fatigue, etc. Of course, these occurrences were the physical manifestation of spiritual attacks against them. One of the more common signs would be insomnia. The strange thing about their challenges with insomnia, which is really a spirit of insomnia that works in concert with the Python spirit, is the victim will feel tired and sleepy but for some strange reason can not go to sleep. This then results in the victim becoming fatigued, cranky, irritable, and snapping at others, which were the symptoms this couple was experiencing.

Now! You would recall that I started out this teaching by saying that spiritual education/knowledge or the lack thereof will be the ultimate determining factor in the height or depth in which an individual will perform in life. Well, in this couple's case, God revealed via the Husband's dream the spiritual ignorance that was fueling and maintained the existence of this stealth spirit. Physically they could not see or understand the reasoning behind the strange occurrences occurring in their lives, like with the average person finding themselves in a tailspin seeking a physical answer to a spiritual problem.

I advised this gentleman that it was useless just praying against procrastination, the lack of motivation, etc. These were only tentacles of the root. Instead, I encouraged this couple to engage in a fast. Along with anointing, their bedroom primarily and the entire home. They were further advised to specifically pray against this Python spirit (using relative scriptures in their prayers). Simultaneously petitioning God to sever all legal rights, this spirit would have to attach itself to them due to violations of God's laws from their end or that of their ancestors.  

Friends! This is just another case of God using the gift of dreams as a spiritual monitor in revealing to us activities in the spirit realm working either for us or against us. In fact, Scripture tells us:

“Indeed God speaks once,
Or twice, yet no one notices it.
“In a dream, a vision of the night,
When sound sleep falls on men,
While they slumber in their beds,
Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction,
That He may turn man aside from his conduct,
And [a]keep man from pride;
He keeps back his soul from the pit. Job 33:14-18.
