Check out my course, Leviathan: Crushing Twisted Witchcraft Attacks, at www.schoolofthespirit.tv/courses/leviathan.
Leviathan does not wait for a convenient moment. This principality coils itself around your morning before your feet hit the floor. The name itself tells the story. Leviathan comes from the Hebrew liwyathan, the twisted one, the coiling sea dragon. Twisting is what he does. He twists your words, your moods, your relationships, and your entire day if you let him.
But notice something the psalmist saw. "You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces" (Psalm 74:14). The Hebrew word for heads is plural. This dragon does not attack with one strategy. He strikes from multiple directions at once. And God breaks them all.
Do you recognize his fingerprints on your day? Let me show you seven heads of this serpent so you can crush every one.
The First Head: Pride
This is the root. Job describes Leviathan as "king over all the children of pride" (Job 41:34). Every other head feeds off this one. Pride whispers that you are right, you are wronged, you deserve more, and no one understands you. When you feel that subtle swelling of self in the morning, that is not your personality. That is Leviathan testing the waters. Humble yourself before the day swallows you. The proud cannot be delivered until they bow.
The Second Head: Twisted Communication
Have you ever sent a clear message and watched it get received as an attack? That is no accident. Leviathan specializes in distortion. He bends what you say and warps what you hear. Suddenly a simple text starts a war. A kind word lands as an insult. The serpent sits in the gap between mouths and ears and twists everything that passes through. Guard your words today. And refuse to assume the worst about someone else's.
The Third Head: Offense
The Greek word skandalon means the trigger of a trap, the bait stick that springs the snare. Leviathan baits you with offense early. A slight from a coworker. A cold response from a friend. A driver who cuts you off. Each one is a hook. If you bite, you spend the rest of your day chewing on bitterness instead of advancing the Kingdom. Why hand the dragon your peace over something so small? Drop the offense before it drops you.
The Fourth Head: Confusion
"For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there" (James 3:16). The Greek for confusion is akatastasia, meaning instability and disorder. Leviathan scrambles your thoughts so you cannot pray, plan, or decide. You sit down to work and your mind scatters in ten directions. That fog is not a personality flaw. It is a tactic. God is not the author of confusion. So when confusion shows up, you already know its source. Command clarity and move.
The Fifth Head: Heaviness
Isaiah promised "the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness" (Isaiah 61:3). The Hebrew word kehah means dim, faint, weak. Leviathan presses down on your soul until everything feels like wading through wet sand. You wake up tired. Joy feels far away. Your worship dries up. This is oppression, not depression alone, and you do not have to carry it. The garment of praise is your weapon. Put it on whether you feel like it or not. Heaviness cannot survive in an atmosphere of worship.
The Sixth Head: Delay and Hindrance
Daniel waited twenty-one days while a prince of Persia withstood his answer (Daniel 10:13). Leviathan loves to delay. He stalls your breakthrough, jams your momentum, and makes simple tasks take all day. The printer breaks. The call drops. The appointment cancels. One frustration stacks on another until you give up. Do not give up. Delay is not denial. Press through the resistance and watch the dam break.
The Seventh Head: Isolation
The serpent always tries to separate you from the herd. He convinces you that no one cares, no one is praying, and you are facing this alone. That lie is his final head. "Woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up" (Ecclesiastes 4:10). Leviathan wants you isolated because isolated sheep get devoured. Reach out today. Text an intercessor. Get in the room with the saints. Connection breaks the curse of isolation.
You Were Built to Break These Heads
All of these are witchcraft attacks! Leviathan's witchcraft attacks from seven directions because he knows he cannot win in a fair fight. So he tries to overwhelm you before you wake up to who you are.
You are not a victim of your day. You are a co-laborer with the One who crushes serpents under His feet.
So name the head that has been pressing you. Is it pride? Twisted words? Offense? Confusion? Heaviness? Delay? Isolation? Identify it, expose it, and refuse to let it rule one more hour.
The twisted one bends everything he touches. But he cannot bend a believer who knows the cross already straightened the story. Stand up. The dragon is already defeated. Now go enforce it.
