HOW TO RECOGNIZE SERPENTINE ENEMIES
How then can we recognise serpentine enemies? It is quite easy to recognise serpentine enemies. All you need to do is to look for the following characteristics.
- Serpents enjoy dark hole
Anyone who decides to make dark holes his abode in life will also experience the serpent’s bite. If you allow any department of your life to remain in darkness you will attract the serpent. If some aspects of your life have not been submitted or handed over to the Lord, the serpent will come in through such avenues to bite you.
• Serpents can hide in unexpected places and bite you
Ask anyone who has been physically bitten by a serpent and such a person will tell you that the serpent was not visible to him before he got close to it. I am yet to see a man who will deliberately allow himself to be bitten by a serpent that is not hidden at all. Serpents are intelligent creatures. They know that they won’t be able to bite any person or animal if they do not hide and attack their victims suddenly.
For example, a serpent would hardly come to a well-lit open space where there is much movement. Neither will a serpent stay in a place where it can easily be seen. It looks for hidden holes, dark environments, abandoned items, thick forests and weedy environments.
If you sincerely examine most of the bitter experiences which you have passed through in life. you will discover that you got into most of them by going to questionable places, doing questionable things and entertaining ungodly
thoughts. If you fail to stand for Jesus and you continue to hide your identity you should not complain if the serpent bites you.
• Serpents lay very quietly to launch their attacks
Serpents usually lay very quietly and pounce on their victims suddenly. Serpents generally take their time to study and watch their victims and wait for a time when their victims will come close. Then they will strike. Serpentine enemies generally wait quietly before striking their victims. A serpentine enemy may stay around you quietly for years without complaining. He or she will wait until an opportunity is got. Then the serpent will bite.
• They operate in darkness
Darkness is a necessary condition for serpents to operate. Serpentine enemies are satanic agents. They need an environment that is characterised by darkness before they can carry out their activities. It is unfortunate that the average man or woman finds darkness very convenient. Many people love to do, in darkness, what they can never do in broad daylight. Most criminals carry out their nefarious activities in the night.
Witchcraft meetings take place in the night. Generally, a lot of iniquities flourish in the night. Your best friend can slap you in the night. That is why it is dangerous to have anything to do with darkness.
• They grow throughout their life time
Serpents grow throughout their life time. In the same vein, serpentine enemies continue to multiply problems all through life. They introduce cyclic problems into the lives of people.
There are people who are told to come home for Christmas when those who invited them are only asking them to come for a renewal of their problems. Such home calls are issued for the purposes of renewing the problems of people.
There are people who have formed the habit of ending every year at night parties, recreation clubs and other places where people waste their time, money and energy. That has become an annual ritual for many people. It has become a sort of renewal of contracts for them. Serpentine enemies are behind all these. Their purpose is to inject perpetuity of problems into the lives of their victims.
• They are very deceptive
Serpents shed off old skins and put on new ones. In the same vein, serpentine enemies are very deceptive. They are always looking different each time. They are deceptive enemies.
• They can swallow their prey alive
Serpents can chew but they can sometimes swallow their prey whole or alive.
Serpentine enemies are wicked agents who can swallow human beings up.
They envelope the lives of their victims totally thereby eliminating him or her.
A sister went to the market to buy a few items. Suddenly, the Holy Spirit told her to go back home immediately. At first, she decided to ignore the voice of the Holy Spirit reasoning within herself that there was no cause for alarm. She thought within her that the person whom she left at home was her mother.
She was very sure that nothing would go wrong as long as her mother was at home. However, she discovered that she had no rest. That was how she decided to abort her trip to the market and go back home in obedience to the voice of the Holy Spirit.
As soon as she got back home, the Spirit of God told her to check up where she dumped her used menstrual pad. She became alarmed when she could not
find it there. Since the only person who was at home was her mother, she decided to ask her. “Mum, please, can you tell me what happened to the menstrual pad which I kept inside the trash bin?” The mother told her to search very well that she would find it. She went back and discovered that someone had tampered with it and hid it under some of the trash. She brought it out and discovered that the blood which was there previously has been completely removed.
She, therefore, decided to threaten her mother until she discovered the truth. Out of fear, the mother confessed what she had done. You wonder what it is? The mother confessed that she licked all the blood and invoked terrible curses on her. The mother’s purpose was to kill her daughter. She attempted to use her demonic power to swallow her daughter alive.
That tells you how far some human beings can go in submitting themselves for the devil to use. The sister never believed that the mother could have attempted such wickedness against her. What saved the sister was the fact that she was a fire brand Christian who never Joked with prayer. This is a perfect example of the activities of serpentine enemies.
• They inject poison to kill
Serpents kill their victims by injecting poison into them. In the same vein serpentine enemies generally introduce spiritual poison into people’s lives. They operate like the proverbial green snake under the green grass.
Spiritual enemies introduce spiritual poison into people’s lives. Immediately that is done, they disappear. That is why a lot of people today are walking about with spiritual poisons in their lives.
These serpentine enemies generally come to attack their victims in the night by giving them palm oil, coke, and other red liquid to drink. They also give people meat to eat. They are serpentine enemies. They sometimes put on the appearance
of your best friend and then go ahead to attack you.
• They kill by constriction
The serpent can kill by constriction. In other words they suffocate their victims thereby expelling life out of them. Serpentine enemies attack their victims with problems that are enough to ebb out their victim’s life. They would also turn around to symphatise with their victims. They would even go ahead to make seemingly helpful suggestions. After consoling their victims a little, they go back to their hidden places and instigate another attack until they succeed in suffocating their victims.
• They are deaf
Serpents are completely deaf. Serpentine enemies are also deaf. You cannot appease them neither can you persuade them to stop attacking you. They are very stubborn. Once they start attacking a person, they become deaf to every effort made to stop their activities. That is why I pity those who try to consult fetish priests, fake prophets and other satanic agents who make wonderful claims pretending that they are out to help victims of satanic attacks.
No one can appease the devil neither can any amount of pleading or begging assuage him. Serpentine enemies are as wicked as their master. They turn deaf ears to all the pleas and entreaties of those who are afflicted by them.
There was an experience which happened in the life of a brother when we started the ministry. The brother happened to come to the fellowship for the first time that day. God identified his problem and singled him out through a word of knowledge, “Somebody has been followed here by an enemy. However, the person should rejoice because the arrow of God has landed on the evil pursuer. The evil follower has received an arrow of judgement from the Almighty.”
The brother did not even know that the word of knowledge was given concerning his situation. Somehow, he managed to claim the word of knowledge
for himself just like most people did that night. The brother was so poor that he was reduced to a beggar. For thirteen years he was walking up and down begging for money to eat.
By the time he met me that night, he confessed that for the first time in thirteen years I was the first person to give him any tangible money. The enemy dealt with him seriously, he couldn’t find any job in spite of the fact that he was highly qualified. What he discovered by the time he got home shocked him.
A woman was crying and shivering making unbelievable confessions concerning what she had done against him. “Please, forgive me, I am sorry for every thing I have done against you for more than thirteen years. Can you remember that you had three commercial buses before. I want to tell you that I am the one who destroyed all of them. In fact, I urinated on the three buses. That was how no mechanic was able to repair any of your buses. I made sure that you lost everything through the use of my evil powers. Do you also know that I am also the one who made all those who would have helped you to lose interest in you? I am sorry for everything which I have done.
‘The fire of God’s judgement is burning me. That is why I am confessing all my evil deeds. Please, forgive me. Please, forgive me.” She concluded.
Do you know that the evil agent would not have made those confessions if she had not experienced the judgement of God? What happened to that brother, gives us lots of insight as to the reason why many people are going through all kinds of attacks today.
Many people’s problems can be traced to the fact that serpentine enemies laid so many eggs which turned into problems in their lives.
Some people’s problems begin immediately they come back from an anointed service where the Holy Ghost deals with their enemies. When such people get
home, their enemies go to them to say. “Where are you coming from. Why must you attend that church? Why must you abandon your traditional church?” Their purpose is to drive you away from your place of refuge. What they hope to do is to persuade you to run away from the place where their secrets will be discovered. They will even go ahead to tell you that the church you are attending is filled with men and women who turn religion upside down.
If you allow them to persuade you, they will succeed in removing you from where you can receive the free of God’s protection and take you to a place where they can kill you. If you really pray prayers that disturb your enemies, some of them will not be able to look at you eyeball to eyeball not to talk of talking to you. When the fire of God comes upon you in the real sense of the word the enemies would no longer be able to look at your face. When some of them see you passing through one way, they would avoid you by passing through the other way.
