The is the Year of The Lion, not the Python!
I heard this today, “The is the Year of The Lion, not the Python!”
This is exciting, brothers and sisters.
At first I heard, “The Year of the Lion” and I was led to research what the world is proclaiming it to be.
The Chinese say that 2025 is the “Year of the Snake.” Very interesting. There are no coincidences in God’s Kingdom.
An amazing painting (above) by Ricardo Colon came to my mind immediately. It is a Lion who has a serpent in his teeth and the snake is helpless and must release his grip on an eagle.
We are the eagles; The eagles whose youth is renewed!
Know this, Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, has released you forever from the grip of the Python.
False spiritual operations shall be also be revealed and taken down. Those who mimic, distort, or undermine the genuine work of The Holy Spirit and deceive others shall slip and fall into their own trap.
And so The Holy Spirit inspired me to add this as the title of this message, “The Year of The Lion, not the Python!” Woohoo!
“Beloved — The Lamb is a Lion.
The serpent will always raise its ugly head and declare he is king. But he is a liar and the father of lies. There is no truth in him.
Do not fear! You who were once hunted have become the Hunters. He who attempts to take your breath and your life will have his taken.
I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. He has been removed, displaced, cast down; he has no dominion over you. Demonic spirits are subject to you.
Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will by any means harm you.
The poison of the serpent will not hurt you. Cast him into the fire. The coils that wrapped around you have been torn away. The Lion of Judah saves you from your enemies.
The cords of death shall not encompass you; the torrents of destruction shall not assail you; you shall no longer be entangled by the lies of the enemy and the snares of death shall not confront you.
The Lion arises. The earth reels and rocks; the foundations also of the mountains tremble and quake.
Smoke goes up from His nostrils, and devouring fire from His mouth; glowing coals flame forth from Him.
At the Breath of His nostrils the enemy is rebuked.
Rejoice, My Child. I have hidden these things from those of the world who consider themselves wise and learned, and revealed them to you.
I have rescued you from your strong enemy and from those who hate you, for they were too mighty for you. They confront you in the day of calamity, but The LORD Himself is always your support.
The God of Glory thunders. The Lion Roars. He bares his teeth and the enemy flees. My Truth shall prevail!
Surely The LORD GOD does nothing without revealing His Plan to His servants the prophets.
The Lion has roared — who will not fear?
The LORD GOD has spoken — who will not prophesy?
Fear not, Beloved. Death has been swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
Lean into the Lion. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young people stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon the LORD will renew your strength; you will mount up with wings like eagles; you will run and not grow weary, you will walk and not faint.
This is the Everlasting Year of the Lion.
Weep not, behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah has prevailed!”
SPIRIT OF PYTHON : The “spirit of python” in the Bible refers to a spirit of divination, linked to fortune-telling and spiritual oppression, as seen in Acts 16:16-18. The term is derived from the Greek word python (pneuma pythōna), which itself refers to the oracle of Delphi and false prophecy. This spirit is described as binding, constricting, and attempting to “squeeze the breath” out of spiritual vitality, much like a python snake constricting its prey. The spirit can bring flattery, as seen when the slave girl proclaimed Paul and Silas were servants of God. It seeks to gain a foothold through false spirituality. Counterfeiting The Holy Spirit: This demonic spirit often attempts to mimic, distort, or undermine the genuine work of The Holy Spirit by promoting false spiritual operations.

“And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.” Luke 10:18-21.
“Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets. The lion has roared — who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken — who will not prophesy?” Amos 3:7-8.
“And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” Revelation 5:5.
“So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 54-57.
“Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall. But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:30-31.
“I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me; the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry to Him reached his ears.” Psalm 18:3-6.
