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.
