Two months ago I had two nights of “snake dreams”. I believe there is a message for the Church at large through these dreams. I am sharing them as a WARNING. 4/8/09 – Dream – A large python snake was in the house. It must have been someone’s pet. I did NOT want to sleep while it was there. I seemed to be the only one concerned.
4/10/09 – Dream – (3 snakes) I am sitting in the driver seat of my car and I see an anaconda snake through the front windshield as it swallows whole another snake (this anaconda can eat a human whole). While sitting in the car there is a small opening in the driver’s window – perhaps 2 inches. The car is idle – not moving. Another snake tries to come through the window. I panic in fear while trying to stuff a towel into the opening to prevent the snake from entering the car. It is in my face. While stuffing the towel I am putting the car key into the ignition to turn on the power to roll the window up. As I press the window button to raise it I catch the snake and stop it. It is stuck in the window. The last scene I am walking along with a friend who is on my right. A small snake grabs onto my right foot. My friend takes a stick type object and forced the snake off of me. While all of this is going on in the dream I have a thought that there are snakes everywhere!!
Although I will share a few points of interpretation here I do not by any means believe I have the full picture. The Lord may very well speak something to each of us. I do believe it is a warning to me personally, however, it is to you as well. Remember that in my dreams I do represent the Church. So, we need to hear what the Spirit of God is saying through this warning, heed, pray and prepare for what has been unleashed upon the Church, while knowing our Lord has the final say.
Python = divination, passivity, lethargy, complacency.
Snakes = curse, deception, threat, danger, hatred, slander, critical spirit, and witchcraft.
The first dream of the python shows the activity of the enemy within the Church to accept “church as is”. I was most uncomfortable with what seemed to be acceptable to others. I would not rest while it is there, even if I have to stand alone against what I saw. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE we are faced with that most are oblivious to.
The second dream I saw “clearly through the window”. The window represents “revealed truth, prophecy, revelation, understanding”. I saw the one “man swallowing/eating snake” eat another. This snake swallows and squeezes the breath/air out, leaving its victim unable to breathe in fresh air. This may be a demonic assignment to keep the Spirit of God from moving. One “Daniel in the spirit” friend of ours (Daniel interpreted dreams) suggested that the larger snake could be the antichrist spirit while the smaller snake is deception. Consider these as the Spirit leads.
“Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and our sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perversity. No one calls for justice, nor does any plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; they conceive evil and bring forth iniquity. They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web; he who eats of their eggs dies, and from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.” Isaiah 59:1-5
My fleshly attempt to stop the enemy was futile. When I used the “spiritual key” that was in my hand I was able to turn on the POWER that “raised the standard against the enemy”, who attempted to “come in like a flood”.
“And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:19
“When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.” Isaiah 59:19
The last snake that attacked my feet (my spiritual walk) was warded off by the “friend” that I walk with … JESUS!!!! There is such HOPE in knowing HE is the answer and HE walks beside us to help us in our need. His one blow will break off the attack of the enemy!
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
