When it comes to spiritual warfare, Katie Souza has seen just about everything and more than most people could imagine, yet through it all, Christ has protected her, covered her and stood victorious.
In her latest book, “The Serpent and the Soul,” Katie Souza unlocks the very real ways that serpent spirits try to come in and destroy God’s people.

“These things are real, and the church is ill-equipped to come against this level of warfare in this hour, which is absolutely swarming every believer,” Souza tells Charisma Media in an exclusive interview.
“Jesus told us in the Great Commission in Mark 16 that we’re going to preach the gospel, baptize the nations, we’re going to heal the sick, drive out demons, raise the dead and take up serpents,” she says. “It is for every single believer.”
One way that Katie Souza has seen God remove serpent spirits from her own life was when the Lord gave her revelation about breast cancer.
“I had an indentation in my breast about the depth of the tip of my pinky finger, which is pretty deep,” Souza recalls.
After spending time throughout the night praising God, she was giving a vision of a serpent striking at her. She asked the Lord what that was about, and He revealed to her that the enemy was trying to give her breast cancer. For the next three days, Souza spent time taking communion and commanding the demonic spirits to leave, which she could even feel in the physical.

“On the third day when I got up…that indentation had fully grown in. It filled in. The pain I was feeling was the regeneration of the breast tissue being healed and regenerated from that cancer, the venom that the enemy was pumping into my breast,” she says.
Souza has also dealt with the dark, manifest reality of werewolves and the occult.
First explaining how fallen angels came down and intermingled with both humans and animals, she points to Genesis as a source we can learn more about these beings. Then, Souza explains her own encounters with these creatures.
Before Souza was a follower of Jesus, she encountered a werewolf that chased her. Just a few days later, she spoke with a woman who lived on that property that had escaped the coven. Souza discovered that the werewolf had been there for the other woman, but she had gotten in the way at the time.
“I actually met the werewolf; it was him and his wife, who was a witch, tried to recruit me into the coven,” says Souza.
When Souza went over to the couple’s home, she noticed some very odd things in the home.
“When she took me down to the basement, all that was down there was a water tank, a shelf that had a piece of velvet on it and a noose hanging from a beam,” she recalls.
The woman diverted Souza’s questions as much as possible about what the items were, saying the piece of velvet, which was a mask, was for Halloween, and fumbling to explain the purpose of the barrels of alcohol in the upstairs of the home. Souza also noticed a dug out underneath the noose.
“If anybody were to hang, their feet wouldn’t touch the ground, and then a hole was full of dry blood,” Souza says.
A couple of weeks after, Souza was with the woman who had been rescued from the coven. While they were in the restaurant, they noticed others from the coven there, staring down at them. On their way out, it was then that Souza had a terrifying supernatural experience.
“The husband…he chases us up the hill,” she says. “I looked out and he’s hanging out the window, and he’s already morphing. And that’s when I knew that he was the werewolf…and his wife was the witch.”
