The Spirit of Leviathan
What is and what does an alligator do ??? An alligator has a big mouth and a long tail and when it bites into something it turns and spins and tears apart whatever it attacks.
The spirit of leviathan is someone with a big mouth, carrying a long “tale” and all the while, turning or spinning the “truth” until it tears apart whoever they attack.
Leviathan is the name of a demon that is talked about throughout the scriptures. His main demonic influence is with spiritual pride and stopping Deliverance. The following scriptures describe Leviathan.
Job 41 "Can you draw out the leviathan (the crocodile) with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord? 2) Can you put a rope into his nose? Or pierce his jaw through with a hook or a spike? 3) Will he make many supplications to you [begging to be spared]? Will he speak soft words to you [to coax you to treat him kindly]? 4) Will he make a covenant with you to take him for your servant forever? 5) Will you play with [the crocodile] as with a bird? Or will you put him on a leash for your maidens? 6) will traders bargain over him? Will they divide him up among the merchants? 7) Can you fill his skin with harpoons? Or his head with fishing spears? 8) Lay your hand upon him! Remember your battle with him; you will not do [such an ill-advised thing] again! 9) Behold, the hope of [his assailant] is disappointed; one is cast down even at the sight of him! 10) No one is so fierce [and foolhardy] that he dates to stir up [the crocodile]; who then is he who can stand before Me [the beast's Creator, or dares to contend with Me]? 11) who has first given to Me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heavens is Mine. {Therefore, who can have a claim against God, god Who made the unmastered crocodile?] [Romans 11:35.] 12) I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame. 13) Who can strip off [the crocodile's] outer garment? [who can penetrate his double coat of mail?] Who shall come within his jaws? 14) Who can open the doors of his [lipless] mouth? His [extended jaws and bare] teeth are terrible round about. 15) his scales are [the crocodile's ] pride, [for his back is made of rows of shields] shut up together [as with] a tight seal; 16) One is so near to another that no air can come between them. 17) they are joined one to another; they stick together so that they cannot be separated. 18) His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the [reddish] eyelids of the dawn. 19) Out of his mouth go burning torches, [and] sparks of fire leap out. 20) Out of his nostrils goes forth smoke, as out of a seething pot over a fire of rushes. 21) His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes forth from his mouth. 22) in [the crocodile's] neck abides strength, and terror dances before him. 23) the folds of his flesh cleave together; they are firm upon him, and they cannot shake [when he moves]. 24) His heart is as firm as a stone, indeed, as solid as a nether millstone. 25) When [the crocodile] raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; because of terror and the crashing they are beside themselves. 26) Even if one strikes at him with the sword, it cannot get any hold, nor does the spear, the dart, or the javelin. 27) He counts iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood. 28) The arrow cannot make [the crocodile] flee; slingstones are treated by him as stubble. 29) Clubs [also] are counted as stubble; he laughs at the rushing and the rattling of the javelin. 30) His underparts are like sharp pieces of broken pottery; he spreads [grooves like] a threshing sledge upon the mire. 31) He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a [foaming] pot of ointment. 32) [His swift darting] makes a shining track behind him; one would think the deep to be hoary [with foam]. 33) upon earth there is not [the crocodile's] equal, a creature made without fear and he behaves fearlessly. 34) He looks all mighty [beasts of prey] in the face [without terror]; he is monarch over all the sons of pride. [And now, Job, who are you who dares not arouse the unmastered crocodile, yet who dares resist Me, the beast's Creator, to My face? Everything under the heavens is Mine; therefore, who can have a claim against God?]
Psalm 74:14 "You crushed the heads of Leviathan [Egypt]; You did give him as food for the creatures inhabiting the wilderness."
Isaiah 27:1 "In that day [the Lord will deliver Israel from her enemies and also from the rebel powers of evil and darkness] His sharp and unrelenting, and strong sword will visit and punish leviathan the swiftly fleeing serpent, leviathan the twisting and winding serpent; and He will slay the monster that is in the sea."
Strong's Concordance (3882 and 3867) give this definition: A wreathed animal or serpent. The constellation of the dragon; also as a symbol of Bab. To join itself, to remain, cleave. The constellation of the dragon is known as Orion (3685) means to be fat, silly, foolish. Job 9:9; 38:31; Amos 5:8.
Job 41:34 says that Leviathan is monarch over all the sons of pride. People - especially pastors - who do not accept the truth about Deliverance has this demon. Leviathan stops spiritual growth in people. They cannot pray, read their bible, they go to sleep during services, mock or come against Deliverance and/or Deliverance ministries.
Experienced Deliverance ministers who have encountered Leviathan state that Leviathan is due to a family curse. Children who have learning disabilities, especially reading, is caused by this curse and the presence of Leviathan.
Painful stiffness in the neck and shoulders has been caused by Leviathan.
In dealing with Orion, Pleaides and Articus are two of the seven demons that are present with leviathan. Experienced Deliverance ministers have stated that when these two demons are dislodged Leviathan also comes out.
In Isaiah 27 Leviathan may also mean serpents that are roused by snake charmers who are known to be able to impose curses - so be sure to break curses. An example of this as the Lord showed it to me is when there seems to be a "great move of God" in a certain church and there seems to be miracles, etc. going on it is a false move of God through Leviathan and working with him is the "Queen of Heaven - Jezebel." The Queen of Heaven gives power to Leviathan to give false gifts, healings, miracles, etc. Leviathan in the pastor, teacher, evangelist, etc. charms or hypnotizes the people and they are deceived and seduced into believing they are operating through the Holy Spirit. The reason the pastors, teachers, evangelists, etc. accept this is because they refuse to believe that they have demons and need Deliverance from the demons. They teach the people that "Christians cannot have demons."
Job 40 indicates that Behemoth might be lodged in the will of man.
Deception is a major role with Leviathan - the spirit of deception works with him and a curse is placed upon you and your blessings by God according to Malachi 2:1 " 2.
Some experienced Deliverance ministers have had success dislodging Leviathan by calling out python - like the physical python this demon digs its tail into the person and wraps itself around its victim suffocating it. This is how it stops spiritual growth and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is also the cause for people not being able to speak in tongues.
The "true" Deliverance of God is casting out demons according to mark 16:17. The Bible says that if we do not love the truth - God will cause us to believe a lie. The only way to get rid of the demonic influences of Leviathan is to have them "cast out in the Name of Jesus."
