Thread: The Spirit of Leviathan

  1. #1

    The Spirit of Leviathan

    I have heard various people teach on this spirit.
    One manifestation is the "twisting spirit" aspect.

    This makes a lot of sense that this was probably at work in many situations I have experienced.

    I remember cases of I say something, then someone accuses me of saying something totally twisted from what I said, and the relationship gets torn.

    Anybody have experiences along this line?

    The Bible talks about lying spirits, unclean spirits, familiar spirits (in the context of mediums who have those spirits). Satan is an accuser and comes to steal, kill and destroy. I can't recall the Bible going into much detail about the activities of demons though.

    2 Cor 2:10 Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
    11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

    So we shouldn't be ignorant of Satan's devices but it's also possible to go too far with trying to figure him out :

    Rev 2:24 Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.

    We aren't supposed to know "the depths of Satan". The Word brings general revelation and the Spirit may bring specific revelation and that should be sufficient.

    There are two mentions of Leviathan in the Bible that are negative in nature, the other three are positive and merely describe a large animal.

    Psalm 74:12 For God is my King from of old,
    Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
    13 You divided the sea by Your strength;
    You broke the heads of the sea serpents in the waters.
    14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces,
    And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

    Isa 27:1 In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong,
    Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
    Leviathan that twisted serpent;
    And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea.

    The last verse seems to be prophetic of the future victory over Satan :

    Rev 12:9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

    Other translations of Isa 27:1 have "dragon" intead of reptile, so dragon and serpent are found in both verses. He is twisted as in crooked (see the interlinear for that verse) which probably refers to his being completely sinful and evil and doesn't refer to any particular demon. It's just a description of Satan and his true nature.

    Quite frequently. In normal conversation as well as in preaching. Problem is, most of these twisters take place for two main reasons. People try to carry on a conversation while they text line 2-3 people and will only hear you say what they want you to say. Second, some are hearing impaired and well, that one can get interesting while you preach.

    Did you see Sid's program with brother Lance, today?

    Genuine problems with communication is one thing but people are sometimes difficult or just bitter. Or they have heard gossip that colors their perceptions etc. There are many factors that may have nothing to do with the activity of demons.

    I've had run ins with this spirit as it teams up with the Jezebel spirit. The other 2 I often encounter is the kundalini spirit and ahab spirit. Also the python spirit which has come into our bedroom at nite...

    I suppose those terms are descriptive of phenomena but if demons are capable of speaking then I'm quite sure that they are also capable of showing more than one trait.

    They have a general Modus Operandi
