How to Deal with Leviathan Who Twists Your Words
Introduction:
Leviathan is shown in Scripture as a twisting, powerful, prideful force (a high-level demonic realm). In spiritual warfare teaching, the “spirit of Leviathan” is often understood as a demonic spirit that twists words, hardens hearts, stirs pride, causes miscommunication, and brings division in marriages, families, churches, ministries, and friendships.
The article you shared lists Leviathan as a spirit that twists truth, breaks covenants, blocks communication, operates through pride, brings contention, and causes blame and self-pity. It also says this spirit often enters through rejection wounds that later open the door to pride as a false protection.
It can work in governments, countries, and in people. Usually, accompanying a person with a Jezebel spirit.
1. Scriptures on Leviathan
Leviathan is directly mentioned in several Bible passages:
Job 41:1 KJV
“Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?”
This shows that Leviathan is not easily handled by natural strength.
Job 41:15-17 KJV
Leviathan is described as having tightly sealed scales. Spiritually, this can represent a closed-off, defensive, hardened condition where truth cannot easily get in.
Job 41:24 KJV
“His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.”
This connects Leviathan with hardness of heart. Hardness of heart.
Job 41:34 KJV
“He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.”
This is one of the strongest verses connected to pride. Leviathan is linked with loftiness, arrogance, and pride.
Psalm 74:14 KJV
“Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces...”
God is the One who breaks Leviathan.
Psalm 104:26 KJV
“There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.”
This shows God’s authority even over Leviathan. We can bind it.
Isaiah 27:1 KJV
“In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent...”
This verse describes Leviathan as a piercing serpent and a crooked/twisting serpent, which fits the idea of twisting truth, twisting words, and twisting communication.
2. How Leviathan Scrambles Conversations
A Leviathan spirit works through twisting. A person says one thing, but the other person hears something completely different. A gentle correction becomes an attack. A loving concern becomes rejection. A simple question becomes accusation. A peaceful conversation can suddenly turn into confusion, offense, defensiveness, or division.
This is why many people say, “That is not what I said,” or “You completely misunderstood me,” or “Every time we talk, it turns into a fight.” Can you relate?
Leviathan can operate through:
Misinterpretation — hearing an accusation when none was intended.
Defensiveness — refusing correction or accountability.
Pride — needing to be right instead of needing truth.
Offense — quickly taking things personally.
Confusion — conversations going in circles.
Blame-shifting — making everything someone else’s fault.
Hardness of heart — refusing to listen, soften, or humble oneself.
Strife — turning simple matters into arguments.
Division — separating people who should be walking in covenant, peace, or unity.
The article you linked specifically says Leviathan twists intentions and conversations, causing people to hear something different from what was actually said. A scrambling Spirit. It also connects this twisting to communication problems, division, hardness of heart, and covenant-breaking.
3. Characteristics of a Leviathan Spirit
Here are common characteristics to teach on:
- Pride and arrogance
Leviathan is called “king over all the children of pride” in Job 41:34. - Twisting words
It causes people to misunderstand, misquote, exaggerate, or distort what was said. - Hardness of heart
Job 41:24 describes Leviathan’s heart as hard as stone. - Stiff-necked stubbornness
A person may refuse correction, counsel, repentance, or accountability. - Blame and self-pity
Instead of repentance, the person may say, “Everyone is against me.” - Contention and strife
Proverbs 13:10 says, “Only by pride cometh contention...” Pride and strife often work together. - Mockery and scorn
Leviathan may belittle others, especially those trying to bring truth. - Covenant breaking
It attacks marriages, ministry relationships, friendships, and church unity. - False accusation
It makes people believe wrong motives about others. - Resistance to deliverance
Because pride resists humility, the person may reject the idea that they need help.
Some people in the bible that may have had this spirit.
4. How Does Someone Open the Door to Leviathan?
A person may open the door through:
Pride — exalting self above God’s truth. Satan did.
Rejection wounds — using pride as armor to avoid feeling vulnerable again. Make a vow to never be hurt.
Bitterness and unforgiveness — refusing to release offense. Justifies it
Rebellion — resisting God-ordained correction or authority.
Self-righteousness — believing, “I am always right.”
False accusation — partnering with suspicion and judgment.
Generational iniquity — family patterns of pride, control, strife, divorce, and offense.
Trauma responses — interpreting correction as danger or rejection.
This does not mean every misunderstanding is a demon. Sometimes people are tired, hurt, immature, fearful, or poor communicators. But when twisting, pride, offense, blame, and division become a repeated destructive pattern, spiritual discernment is needed. This is where a person continues to do that and almost all conversations can end up in a fight, strife, or confusion.
5. How to Get Free from Leviathan
If in you. Freedom begins with humility. Leviathan is tied to pride, so the way out is not more arguing, more proving, or more self-defense. The way out is repentance, truth, forgiveness, and surrender to Jesus Christ.
Steps to Freedom
1. Recognize the fruit.
Ask: “Is this producing peace, humility, truth, and reconciliation—or confusion, pride, strife, and division?”
2. Take responsibility.
Instead of blaming everyone else, ask the Holy Spirit, “Where have I agreed with pride, offense, accusation, or twisting?”
3. Repent of pride.
Pray: “Lord, forgive me for pride, self-righteousness, stubbornness, and refusing correction.”
4. Renounce Leviathan and every agreement with it.
Renounce pride, twisting words, false accusation, blame, self-pity, strife, contention, rebellion, and hardness of heart.
5. Forgive those who wounded you.
Many people use pride as a shield because they were rejected, dishonored, or hurt. Forgiveness breaks the enemy’s legal ground.
6. Ask God to soften your heart.
Ezekiel 36:26 says God gives a new heart and removes the stony heart.
7. Practice truth in communication.
Say: “Let me repeat what I heard you say.”
Ask: “Is that what you meant?”
This breaks the twisting before it grows.
8. Walk in humility daily.
James 4:6 says God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
6. What If You Are Confronting Someone Operating in Leviathan?
Do not fight chaos with chaos. Do not argue with the spirit. Do not get pulled into word-twisting, circular arguments, accusation, or emotional traps.
What to Do
Stay calm.
A soft answer turns away wrath. Do not match their intensity.
Slow the conversation down.
Say: “Let’s pause. I want to make sure we are hearing each other correctly.”
Clarify words.
Say: “That is not what I meant. What I meant was…”
Ask them to repeat what they heard.
This exposes the twisting.
Do not defend endlessly.
Leviathan loves long, circular, exhausting conversations. If they do not listen, you do not need to prove yourself. God is your vendicator. Tell them they can believe whatever they want.
Set boundaries.
Say: “I want peace, but I will not continue if this becomes accusing or dishonoring.”
Pray silently.
Bind confusion, pride, accusation, and strife in the name of Jesus.
Bring the conversation back to truth.
Ask: “What is the actual issue we need to solve?”
Do not try to cast a spirit out of someone who does not want freedom.
Pray, speak truth, keep peace, and wait for the Holy Spirit to convict.
Anyone want to share a situation with someone who has Jezebel/Leviathan?
7. Similarities Between Leviathan and Jezebel
Yes, there are similarities between Leviathan and Jezebel, but they are not exactly the same.
Similarities
Both can operate through:
Pride
Control
Manipulation
False accusation
Rebellion
Strife
Division
Attacks against authority
Resistance to repentance
Destruction of relationships and ministries
Differences
Leviathan mainly twists, confuses, hardens, and causes communication breakdown. It works through pride, misunderstanding, accusation, and chaos.
Jezebel mainly controls, seduces, manipulates, dominates, intimidates, and seeks to silence God-given authority and prophetic truth.
Leviathan may scramble the conversation. Jezebel may use that confusion to gain control.
8. Does Jezebel Have Leviathan?
A person influenced by Jezebel can also have Leviathan operating with it. Demonic spirits often work in groups. Jezebel may use control and manipulation, while Leviathan twists the conversation so the person never takes responsibility. Jezebel wants control; Leviathan protects pride. Jezebel dominates; Leviathan confuses. Jezebel accuses; Leviathan twists the meaning of words.
So yes, they can work together.
For example:
Jezebel says, “You must do what I want.”
Leviathan says, “You are attacking me by confronting me.”
Jezebel controls the situation.
Leviathan twists the correction.
Jezebel refuses accountability.
Leviathan makes the other person look like the problem.
This is why humility, truth, prayer, and boundaries are necessary.
9. Short Prayer for Freedom from Leviathan
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I come before You and humble myself. I repent for every place I have agreed with pride, self-righteousness, stubbornness, offense, false accusation, blame, self-pity, and twisting of words. I ask You to forgive me and cleanse me by the blood of Jesus.
I renounce the spirit of Leviathan and every spirit working with it. I renounce pride, confusion, strife, contention, hardness of heart, rebellion, and covenant breaking. I break every agreement I have made with misunderstanding, accusation, and division.
Lord, give me a soft heart, a teachable spirit, and ears to hear truth. Help me speak clearly, listen humbly, and walk in peace. I ask You to restore every relationship that can be restored according to Your will. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Closing Summary
Leviathan is a twisting spirit connected to pride, hardness of heart, confusion, and division. It scrambles conversations by causing people to hear through wounds, pride, offense, and accusation instead of truth. The answer is not more arguing. The answer is humility, repentance, forgiveness, discernment, clear communication, spiritual authority, and the peace of Jesus Christ.
Key Scripture:
Isaiah 27:1 shows that God Himself punishes Leviathan, the piercing and crooked serpent. This means our hope is not in our ability to out-argue chaos, but in the authority of Jesus Christ, the Word of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
