Years ago I was wanting to get rid of continual large amounts of junk e-mail. I knew I could not change some of the computer files because of the orders we had for different materials. The printer was down, so the orders had stacked up and for some reason hard copies of them had not been made. At that time it required several steps in my computer and on the site to effect a change.

What ensued was a chain of events that I could not believe could have happened. Thinking it all out before hand, I was fully aware that I could not erase certain mail boxes. Making note of this in my mind, I began changing the addresses and creating new mail boxes. I was tired of the clutter in the machine and getting this done simply felt good. I was going back and forth from the site. It was easy and I developed an orderly pattern of getting it done. Once the pattern was established, I remember thinking, "This is so great, no more junk," then I moved more rigorously to get things changed! When I finished I saw that I had erased all the boxes including the ones I knew full well not to erase. I had become intent, focused on what I was doing and not realizing I had crossed the line until it was too late. I could not believe it. These were important files for the Lord's use. I was apologetic to the Lord and began trying to restore them from the hard drive.

In a scene the next morning I was looking at my brain. I have depicted it for you to see a semblance of what I saw. I could see the activity of my brain all through it (white stars) and a line of " thought" down through the center. I was shown Satan had injected into my mind some "thought" at the precise time needed, depicted by the yellow star. As I looked, I knew this thought coincided with my will and emotions at that particular moment. (Emotions seemed to be a trigger or something.) The Lord said, "You were not in control of your mind" and showed me how long, depicted by the red along the line of thought.

I awoke remembering the incident clearly as it had happened only hours before. I realized Satan had triggered my emotions and my will being what it was, he was actually in control of my thoughts for a while until the action against God was done! It was very interesting to me because I knew I could not have gained control of my mind during that period of time even if I had wanted to do so. It was like I was in a tunnel and there was no way out.

This reminds me of when the spirit of anger controlled me. Once it started, I could not control it until it was over. A lady I know said she could not stop Python even though she suddenly knew it was operating in her as she spoke during a meeting. In a scene given to me about what happened to her, the Holy Spirit revealed that Satan himself was involved in the incident. (Read about how Satan can visit every person on this earth in a 24 hour period.)

Peter's Encounter

Matthew 16: 23
But he turned, and said to Peter, Get you behind me, Satan: you are an offense to me: for you mind not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Look at what had just happened:

Matthew 16: 21,22
From that time forth began Jesus to show to his disciples, how that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from you, Lord: this shall not be to you. But he turned, and said to Peter, Get you behind me, Satan: you are an offense to me: for you mind not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Jesus spoke to Satan, not Peter! The same thing happened to Peter that happened to me in my mind and to this lady I mentioned who spoke in a meeting. Satan projected thoughts or a thought into Peter's mind at the correct moment and they were accepted because of Peter's will, emotions and what he believed. Peter was haughty towards the Lord by rejecting what He had just said. Jesus had just told Him the plan of God and he rejected it because of self, (pride) and the lack of understanding. From experiences I've had, I seriously doubt if he even heard Jesus correctly. I have seen this many times in people whom the Lord has revealed to have a haughty spirit. It's that darkness produced in the water by Python, when he is in control, that people can't see through.

The Garden

As I have revealed, God visually took me back to the Garden of Eden. Satan brought pride in through the trickery of the mind. He could rule that way and has been ever since. God showed me on December 15, 2008 that Python is tremendously huge, too huge to be able to describe. This size was also verified in the Courts of Heaven testimony. From having this experience, I see mercy and grace to be far beyond anyone's comprehension.

I will never forget the day God told me, "Not all your thoughts are your own." I had no idea of the breadth, the length, the depth, and the height of what He had just said. The way the scene was presented when the Lord took me back to the Garden of Eden certainly touched on those four things, yet I cannot explain it.

II Corinthians 11:3 ILB
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent deceived Eve through his craftiness, so your thoughts should be corrupted from the purity which is due Christ.

Here is Paul talking about the purity of "thought" that is due Christ. Even an unknown prideful, haughty thought is not of Christ but of the enemy. The 41st chapter of Job is about the "aspects of Satan," using prehistoric Leviathan as something Job could relate to. The chapter paints an excellent picture of Satan and in the last verse it says:

Job 41: 34 ILB
He (Satan) beholds all high things: he is king over all the sons of pride.

Is it possible God is talking about the actual animal Leviathan? No way! No breed of any physical animal on earth can be king over any of the pride found in man. But Satan can be, and he is king over the sons of pride. "King" means he is ruling, obviously unknown to the sons. The sons of God are to serve the King of Kings. If they get into pride (haughtiness/Python) then they are actually serving the king of pride, Satan. It is possible to serve the Lord one minute and the "King of Pride" the next through our thoughts and actions.

The grandmothers mentioned in the Courts of Heaven article were into "Pride" (religious spirit) because of their false beliefs concerning God. They were actually accusing God of something He didn't do. They didn't know this, but ignorance doesn't nullify what happens. Look what those things did to their granddaughter at a very young age. The religious, haughty spirit was transferred. Pride is haughty, is of self, and is of Python. It all started in the Garden of Eden. There is a battle for the minds of men!

Untruth, Spots in the Pool

It is very important to understand the spots in the pool and get rid of them. The Lord said to me years ago, "The more obedient you are, the less access the enemy has to your mind!" I didn't understand this at the time but through the years God has painted a picture that I will share with you so you can understand also. Notice the picture I made concerning the Courts of Heaven and Python wanting to get into the pool, into that dark spot that remained. This is why we need to get rid of all the dark spots in our mind, in our very being. Jesus said,

Luke 11:36
If your whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle does give you light.

I have given testimony on this site of how I was delivered of the spirit of anger. Now we're going to look at it from a deeper perspective. I didn't report this incident in the original article, but it is when the actual deliverance took place.

Reviewing:
During the deliverance the Lord told me that I had a deep seed of anger against the "body of Christ," that it was a spirit! This is because I had learned that the church in general did not understand how salvation unto eternal life occurs. I had found out that my family was not saved because of this. I became angry, and as the Lord said, I was angry at the "body of Christ."

The incident:
In the experience (over a period of several hours) I responded to the Lord saying, "I have a right to be angry." The Lord replied, "You had them on a pedestal." With that information the anger left.

Why did the anger leave at that particular point? It is because I accepted the truth that God had given, "a thing of the Spirit." I let that truth replace, "I have a right to be angry," which God revealed to be an untruth in the situation. This is a simple picture of a very important pattern in deliverance, truth displacing evil. We must also understand that the thoughts or words, "I have a right to be angry" were from the spirit of anger in me. They had gotten in and became a part of me because of the situation. I had accepted them as truth but they were not truth. (This very thing happened in the Garden.) These words were not life to me, but of the enemy, giving that spirit place to operate through me. (Read the original account) Jesus said,

John 6:63 ILB
It is the Spirit that makes alive. The flesh does not profit--nothing! The words which I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

In the testimony of being delivered from fear I revealed there were certain thoughts (words) that left me. They were of the Spirit of Fear. We see that certain spirits are thoughts behind untrue words, which can be about any subject.

Had I rejected the truth and hung on to, "I have a right to be angry," I would have made those words my pet. Pet article. I would still have that "spirit of anger" in me and it could rise up anytime it wanted. (I would have given the spirit of anger the legal right to operate in my life!)

So by accepting the truth, "A thing of the Spirit," I had walked after a "thing of the Spirit" giving me life as described below.

Romans 8:4-6
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

God said, "Pets will take a person off the narrow path!" I have watched this happen over and over. These people will never walk hand in hand with Jesus as He desires. Reject the "things of the Spirit" and you will find yourself in this position, unknown to you. Deep down you may know something's wrong. Obedience is key if you find yourself in this position. A picture:

Years ago the Lord sent me to an apostle. I don't remember all the details of what was said but there are certain things important for us to understand. This apostle had rejected the "things of the Spirit," and simply put, disobeyed the Lord. When I went to see him I didn't know of any specific message I was to deliver. I listened to him as he explained that heaven was shut up to him, that he couldn't hear God. I began sharing some things with Him and he stopped me, saying that he could hear God and that He didn't need me to be telling him what to do. I thought this strange because one minute he was telling me heaven was shut up to him and then he was telling me he could hear God. I understand now that he was full of "self."

The Lord dealt with me concerning this event. He revealed that He sends prophets to deliver messages to the disobedient and that if this apostle would have obeyed Him, it would have opened heaven to him again. This goes back to the Lord saying, "The more obedient you are, the less access the enemy has to your mind!" Obedience beats the enemy; disobedience helps him. I didn't know anything about Python then; but it is apparent that disobedience, lack of understanding, and untruth had allowed the enemy control in his mind. So we see the importance of receiving a true prophet's message and, through obedience to the Lord, breaking the pattern already in place in a person's life. One obedient act starts the process.

The more disobedient a person is, the more access the enemy has to their mind. It can be like a snowball rolling and growing if it gets started. God has demonstrated this to be true. A person who is controlled by Python has a lot of dark spots in their mind, their pool of water. These dark spots control the person's thinking in certain areas of their life. This brings us to why the Lord said, "It takes a flow chart to be delivered from Python." The Lord was really saying, "It takes the 'things of the Spirit'" (Him) to be delivered from Python as that is what is in a Flow Chart. One reason the Lord said "flow chart" is because it contains the mechanics of comparing Spiritual with spiritual, line on line, which is necessary to get His thought on some matters. The Lord actually delivered me from anger by speaking more than one truth to me and it was a flow. Truth delivers and the "things of the Spirit" that come down the River of Life are truth.

Remember, while God was teaching me, everything I saw coming down the River of Life was mechanical, two or more things working together. It's the reason for a Flow Chart mentality when reading a record of the "things of the Spirit."

A person can have any number of untruths or dark spots in their thinking. These should be taken one at a time. Each time an untruth is replaced with the truth the person will become more free. That is what happened to the person in the courts of heaven; she could see more clearly as they dispelled the untruths one by one as each dark spot disappears the person will begin to see more and more truth.

We must understand in the above picture of the four spots that those spots affect the person's train of thought. They affect decisions and the ability to think. What they conclude won't be truth but an off-shoot of it. This also happened to Eve in the garden.

If we have spots of any kind we are not really fit for the master's use.

II Timothy 2:2-,21
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared to every good work.

Because I had the spirit of anger in me, I was not fit for the master's use. The message to the person, given to me by God, was correct, but through the spirit of anger. Anger was unleashed on the people, which was not of God. It had a devastating effect. I was not a vessel of gold and silver, therefore not prepared unto every good work. The message the Lord had for the person was true, but the Lord was not honored because of the dark spot in my body.

Luke 11:36
If your whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle does give you light.

For another picture on this subject, here is a person with one spot of untruth. It is a spot put there by Python, let's say a false doctrine. It could be a large spot or several small spots but never the less python is looking for an opportunity to slither in. The Lord showed us this for a reason.

From the picture we see Python is not in control of the person's life but waiting to enter in because of the spot being there. Remember there was a point in time when Python was out of the pool looking in, but not in a controlling position, in the Courts of Heaven scene. It's the same here. The person can probably see a lot of things clearly except for this particular area represented by the spot. If the subject comes up and the person is engaged in conversation it opens the spot up and Python slithers in and begins operating through the person, known or unknown to the person. I have seen this happen.

There is a misnomer in the Lord's children where the person says, "Well, if that was from the enemy then everything I have ever heard has been from the enemy!" This is not true and a tactic of the enemy. This person has heard God and has heard the enemy but doesn't know the difference. Remember the Lord said, "You know My voice but you don't know the enemy's voice." It's all a learned thing, not automatic. So if the Lord reveals somehow that a person has Python operating, it does not mean they have not heard God. On the contrary, they have heard God; they just don't know about the enemy's voice in their lives. This is nothing to be ashamed of because the Lord said Python has affected everyone. Some obviously more than others.

All this is reason enough for people to run to their Flow Charts as the Lord indicated because the Holy Spirit through "the things of the Spirit" will reveal the dark spots in any particular person. A Corporate Flow chart can actually separate truth from untruth for any given person. I've been telling people for years that the Holy Spirit reveals what you don't know about yourself that the Lord wants removed.

This is the mind of Christ; the enemy had nothing in Him. He was always obedient, not giving the enemy access to His mind! We are to be like Him, growing up into Him. It's for Him that we should do this! He needs clean vessels of Gold and Silver to walk with Him and to be His Spotless Bride in the earth!
