In a powerful recent broadcast, deliverance ministers Isaiah Saldivar and Jenny Weaver sounded the alarm on the “spirit of python”—a demonic force that works to suffocate the spiritual vitality of believers.

Weaver, who has a remarkable testimony of deliverance from witchcraft and addiction, unpacked how this deceptive spirit operates and how Christians can break free from its grip. Once entangled in the occult and drug addiction, she shared how God radically delivered her from darkness. This darkness, often manifested through the python spirit, is something that many people don’t even realize they are dealing with. However, Saldivar gives a few of the signs that you can see if you are battle with this spiritual force.

“I feel tired I feel like something’s squeezing the life out of me. I feel like I can’t breathe. I just feel exhausted all the time, I just feel drained spiritually. I just feel like I don’t have the motivation to read the Bible, I don’t have the motivation to pray,” he says. “There’s a real enemy. We are at battle. There is a war going on…the devil has some of you in a chokehold. He’s choking you, and he’s sucking the life out of you.”

Rooted in Acts 16, where Paul rebuked a fortune-telling slave girl, this spirit operates through divination, deception and spiritual suffocation. Weaver warned that many unknowingly invite it into their lives through seemingly harmless practices like horoscopes, psychic readings and spiritual flattery.


“Are you going to fall for the flattery? Are you going to fall for the accolade, are you going to fall for the applause?” Weaver asks. “The problem is [people] are petting these demons and rocking them to sleep.”

Weaver urges Christians to be vigilant and proactive in resisting this spirit and knowing if it could be seeking to harm you.

“This is a heat-seeking spirit,” she says. “This demon will find where there is fire, where there is heat, where you’re on fire for God, and where you have the Spirit of God and the breath of God flowing. It begins to prey on these people.”

Just as Paul shook off a literal snake into the fire, believers must shake off spiritual oppression through prayer, fasting and declaring God’s authority over their lives. Another crucial key to being set free is forgiveness. By releasing bitterness, believers can shut the door to spiritual bondage and walk in true freedom.
