The Spirit of Leviathan/Pride





Some of you have/are been elevated/ordained by God, have been feeling that the enemy is setting people against you to hinder you from what God has for you. This may be very well true, but for others, its not the enemy, its God. And the reason that its God is because He is trying to reveal to you, YOU...because you have allowed the spirit of Leviathan to operate in you. You h...ave fought sound advice from others about what God is speaking regarding the direction of your life, yet you have stiffened your neck because it did not come from who you thought it would and you cannot receive it. He has spoken to you in dreams & visions yet you still try to place the blame of why things are the way they are on others rather than admitting your pride is in the way. Therefore the Lord has put you on your behind so that you will be reminded that only He is the one who has all the answers.

Daniel 4:19 "Then Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar, was very quiet for a while, because his understanding of the dream frightened him. So the king said, "Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its meaning make you afraid."
Then Belteshazzar answered, "My master, I wish the dream were about your enemies, and I wish its meaning were for those who are against you!"

King Nebuchadnezzar was forced to go away from people and live like an animal. When he came to himself he could think normally again. And when his position as King was restored to him, he then said " Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, give praise and honor and glory to the King of heaven. Everything he does is right and fair, and he is able to make proud people humble." (Dan 4:37)

We see this same Leviathan spirit try to operate in Job. Many do not speak on the pride the Job had. He was a righteous man who was a servant of God, but he had become prideful in that righteousness.

Job 32:1 say "So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes."

When Elihu spoke wisdom to him, he did not argue with him like he did with his 3 friends, but he still did not receive it because he felt he was right in his own eyes, and justified himself rather that letting the Lord justify him.

God spoke of Leviathan to Job & His voice even came to him in a whirlwind and dealt with him. It was then when he repented from his pride & self righteousness & also pray for his friends did God give him twice as much as he had before.

I encourage you all to read again the book of Job, it will open your eyes to how those operate when they are self-righeous, prideful, and have prideful rebellion. Leviathian wants to keep people from being DELIVERED. Pharoah operated in this spirit when he did not want to let the Israelites go. Leviathan is very subtle in its ways, and can make a person seem right in their own eyes. It can even hide in leaders and have people sitting under this demonic influence with even realizing it.

The Leviathian/Pride spirit does not want people to get deliverance. The Spirit of Leviathan is what God allowed to swallow up Pharoah and his army and chariots when he chased after the Israelites in his PRIDE....the Lord protected the Israelites from any Marine spirits that would try to hinder them from being delivered by allowing them to cross the Red Sea on DRY land. He then did not make it possible for them to drink the bitter water from the well at Maran because it symbolized bitterness before they reach the Promised Land. Rooted bitterness goes hand in hand with rejection, rebellion and then pride.....all out to stop deliverance and purpose....
