Don’t Feed it!
Who is this for? Everyone.
This isn’t a prophetic word, but I need to make you aware of something because I know that some of you are dealing with this right now and you need to know about it.
We just finished our fast, and there was something going on there (demonic in nature) that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. From the very beginning it was there. I asked the Lord about it and He didn’t give me an answer until much later on when He gave a dream to one of the participants on the fast and I was able to see it.
Once I figured out the spirit, I understood why the Lord never told me what it was because there is nothing I can do about it.
How to identify the spirit
1 If you are a dreamer, you won’t be dreaming as much as you used to. Disruptions of dream life.
2 Same story if you used to get visions. Fewer to no visions
3 You are in some kind of a disagreement with someone. You know you are right. And, they honestly believe they are right too. But what they don’t know is that you are 100% right. You’re sure about it.
4 If this spirit has been there for awhile you’ll start to notice that you started out with a disagreement in your person life, then you started having a disagreement with someone at your job, then you start to notice you are having a disagreement with your closest friend. Then it’s happening between you and the teacher at your son’s school and before you know it, you are having all these disagreements with these different people. It’s a different situation, but it’s still a disagreement. And you are sure that you are right.
5 When you do have dreams there is a theme there that consists of bad incidents involving water – drowning, tidal waves, tsunami, destructive things involving water, then there may be sea creatures – octopus and alligators/crocodiles or types of sea creatures, sometimes even dragons.
6 Your prayer life is being affected or you’re not hearing from God like you used to.
7 Twisted, confusing conversations and communication. He said this and then you said that, but he said that he never said that, And then she said you said that but that’s not true. So then you said this, and then he said that. Then she keeps saying you said this but she’s lying. So you went looking for text where he said it…,but you can’t the find the text. So then you called your best friend and ask her was it you who told me this or was it from a text? The whole thing is confusing and twisted. And you can’t even figure out how it all started. But there is one thing you are sure of, however it started, you are right.
Have you ever seen an alligator or a crocodile do a death roll? This is you trying to get yourself out of that conversation.
Is any of this clicking for you?
What is this spirit?
The leviathan spirit.
(Isaiah 27:1) “In that day the Lord with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea.”
It’s a water spirit. Hence, the dreams with the destructive water. This is the one responsible for church splits, division, disunity, divorce, discord, strife. It uses the communication between 2 people and then works to create twisted scenarios that lead you down this path. It has many arms (octopus) so it can actually be affecting both persons at the same time and they don’t even know it. Then if one person tries to get out the dreaded death roll, they’ll just drag in another person to the conversation, and then another and then another. Growing groups of people who form teams and then in the end the only way to resolve it is to part ways. Division.
If there is disunity there is no blessing, did you know that?
Psalm 133
1 How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity!
2 It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron’s beard,
down on the collar of his robe.
3 It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the Lord bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore.
Here it is we are just starting the year, it is the year of the wealth transfer, I’m pretty sure there are many things the Lord has promised you that you are expecting to happen. So here comes the devil with his trick to get you in some petty argument because he knows if he keeps you in disunity there’s no blessing coming to you.
It’s a trick. Don’t fall for it.
Two people having a disagreement in a normal every day setting can easily resolve it. However, when this demon is present, the simplest thing can turn into a broken relationship.
One person sends a text message and writes “can” instead of “can’t” and the relationship is over because of a typo. You ended your friendship because of an apostrophe and a “t”. Under normal circumstances you would have figured out it was a typo or given the person the benefit of the doubt but with this spirit in the middle of it, you are sure they did it on purpose to destroy you. Because, you are right! This is literally what it looks like. You begin to miss the context on everything. You apply meaning to things that were never meant that way. You become dyslexic and misread things. You add words into sentences that are not there.
Then when everything calms down and you go back to the original text you realize, it wasn’t all that serious to begin with, they never meant what you thought they said but, in that moment, you were 100% sure! It’s leviathan. It works on your emotional state causing you to fly into fits of rage, anger over the simplest things.
Prayer against Leviathan
There’s no prayer.
Read the scripture again (Isaiah 27:1), you will notice it says “In that day, THE LORD…” That is because He is the ONLY Person that can remove it. This is why He never answered me when I asked Him what it was. Because I cannot do anything about it…well, not in the sense of some warfare prayer. Nope.
You do not go after or pray against this spirit in any way, or you WILL live to regret it.
There’s no binding, sister. Leave it be. And, any day you take it upon yourself to touch this thing. God help you. Read this. You have been warned. Some of us know things because we experienced it.
This is actually the spirit from the story of Job! There’s an entire book in the bible that shows you what happens when you engage this thing. Do you think when Job’s friends were talking and accusing him they thought they were wrong? I don’t think so. I believe they thought they were doing the right thing. You notice he didn’t divorce his wife even though she said advised him to curse God and die? (Job 2:9) He probably realize it wasn’t her. She was speaking on behalf of a divisive spirit to divide him from God.
The enemy was not successful in dividing any of them, even though he tried.
How do you get it to go away?
It is very simple. Don’t feed it. It can only stay if it is fed. How do you feed it?
- Communication. It needs something to twist. If there is nothing to twist, there’s nothing to use to sow discord and divide. Stop communicating with that person. Do not speak about what happened with other people. Just shut down all chatter about that subject. Stop talking, or texting, or emailing, or leaving a voicemail message, or phone calls, or calling your prayer partner to pray about it. Not even praying with someone else? NO. Because you then become the octopus, stretching out the arms and pulling in other people and transferring the spirit to them. No communication regarding this subject. Think of it like a virus, everyone you touch with this conversation catches that spirit. Then your prayer partner goes home and she gets into a fight with her husband over another silly matter and she’s unable to discern that she picked up the spirit from you. And then she spawns another octopus by getting her mother involved in the silly fight with her husband and the mom tells her best friend on and on we go. It’s super contagious and because each fight is about a different thing, you don’t even realize these are all tentacles of the same octopus. One household turns into 5 households. No more communication on this topic. Shut it down. The most amazing thing happens if you heed this instruction, as fast as it came in is as fast as it leaves. It seriously departs very quickly like a puff of smoke dissipating.
- Pride. The reason it stays alive is that someone wants to be right. You do not need to be right. You do not need to have the last word. You do not need to explain your side.
Like attracts like. If your behavior looks like the demon, it will stay with you. The foundation of the spirit is pride. Therefore, humble yourself.
Humility says I do not need to be right and there is a possibility I may be wrong.
Back up off the entire situation and say nothing. Sometimes one of the greatest weapons you can wield is the one called silence.
Beelzebub cannot cast out Beelzebub. Therefore, if you think this thing is going to go away as you continue to prove that you are right?! Good luck with that. You’re feeding the monster.
You have to go opposite. It needs communication, you don’t give it communication. It needs pride, you serve it humility. It dies really quickly. That’s why you don’t need a prayer. You need your actions and your words to look opposite to the demon and then it goes away. Please know, this is not for every spirit. This is how you handle this spirit.
Look at what Jesus says
(John14:30) “I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of the world (Satan) is coming. And he has no claim on Me [no power over Me nor anything that he can use against Me];”
The minute you stop feeding it, it will go away all by itself because you and the demon have NOTHING in common.
Demons will not stay in a place where they are not wanted or where the lifestyle or character/behavior of that person doesn’t encourage their presence.
Just step back, humble yourself and shut down the communication. If the person is a Christian, and can understand these types of things, then just send this post to them. If you think about it, if both sides understand what is going on this entire thing gets diffused within days. Some of you might need a week or two depending on how long it has been going on and how mad you are.
The key is that you should never go back to communicating if in the back of your mind you are thinking “now that things have calm down, I will go and explain my side”. No, you don’t need to do that because you are about to feed that monster. Unless it is something that needs to be discussed, you should never talk about it again. And, if the other person never gets to that place and they are still wanting to win, let them win. Oh ok, you’re right my bad. I’m sorry it was my mistake. Yes, you’re right. This is very reason the words “yes, dear” were invented! Give them the win and move on. Think about it, if the demon was the one who started it, and the demon is in the middle of it, how in the world would you expect to win this? Nobody is winning this, except the demon. Don’t feed it.
I pray this helped you and you are able to diffuse this whole situation before it gets worse.
Blessings
I wish I saw this earlier. It’s exactly how it happened in my home.
Lord thank you so much for this eye opener
This post spoke profoundly to us and our situation. I just saw it and immediately I knew this was sent by God, we did the fast this year but before that I would wake up hearing things and I ask what is this spirit, my husband would see and hear it as well.
God has been answering in prayer and pastor don’t touch subject like this, but I had heard of this before so it was not shocking but when Nicole said to not feed this monster and how to cause it to disappear and what it thrives on….OMG!!!!
I immediately repented, this is what I have found myself doing this year was repenting and diving back into the word of God also stepping up my fasting and killing off this fleshy monster that I have created.
Thank you Jesus for allowing me to see me!!!
Thank you Nicole. I was having issues during the fast. This word clearly reveals God’s mind for the now.
Thanks for the post. I have been experiencing some of those things. I had the water dreams before and during the fast I fell that it was not going well, I was getting anger so easily with the kids and disagreement at work with colleague. I had no dream during the fast or even before the fast my dream seem to be disruptive and if I did I can’t remember them, also fewer vision and there is this great need to be right.
I was wondering why I am not hearing from God repenting and searching if there is something I haven’t done that He ask me to do.
Guilty.I spent last night repenting and battling the pride in my heart with God. And the root of the pride was hurt which caused me to imagine situations in my mind that never happened, causing offense and more hurt,talk about a messy situation. No wonder the warfare during the fast was intense, I was literally hearing things shift around the room while in prayer. I remember identifying the spirit out loud in November when I had a conflict with a family member I live with and it literally manifested through the person and shoved me. I didn’t have water related dreams but of an extensive spider web with a number of spiders (web of lies). Super grateful for this post.
Ann! I had the things moving around the room and noises, feelings of being shoved, everything tied in knots or damaged and it is still going on! We really needed this post, thank you MOP! Thank you Heavenly Father!
Was just thinking about this post and marinating on it this morning (3 days after it was posted) and this is what I have come to realize in my situation: before we receive the breakthrough and promises we have prayed for, God will sometimes bring the same situations(different scenarios) that caused us to stumble and fall out of alignment with him around again. This gives us a chance to humble ourselves and realign ourselves, so the enemy has no legal right to stop that breakthrough. For me a lot of the strife and issues of pride i’m having in this situation is due to issues in myself I hadn’t dealt with the first time. God is indeed a redeemer. Thanks again MOP
Thanks Nicole so much. Your reminder agrees totally with what I have been learning from the Lord lately. You just gave me a summary of what I am learning and who/what I was dealing with.
My hubby and I get into strife quite often. It would get to the point at times that even talking about day to day stuff, we would end up with strife. It was unbelievable to me how the tiniest thing would end up so ugly. I had been praying and praying for unity and agreement for the longest time, but not much improvement seemed to have taken place until I was willing to submit to my hubby 100%, not forced but willingly out of humility, just like Christ Jesus. Starting in May 2022, God has been asking me to interact with my hubby with “not a word” day to day even when I am wronged. Praise the Lord!! Yesterday, I still had no idea how my hubby got so mad because of my action, but I shut my mouth and turned to the Lord instead and let my hubby take the lead. So, I responded with silence and humility. At the end of the day, he came to me and apologize for his poor behavior (he doesn’t apologize usually.) Praise the Lord!!! God knew that I really needed that encouragement.
These verses pointed out both humility and silence. Key to a successful marriage.
1 Peter 2:21-23 He (Christ) committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly… 1 Peter 3:1 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct.
Thank you again. May the Lord bless and protect you, Nicole, and MoP abundantly.
This is exactly what I struggled with during the fast. Something was blocking. I even had a dream as I prepared for the fast about a demon that appeared in my apartment from an electrical fire. It was like nothing I had ever seen –it looked like a blue cartoon character. I was sure if I prayed it would go away, but I could not dispell it. I ran for help to a neighbor across the hall, but she advised me that no one could see the demon but me.
This made me think the demon was connected to me.
And yes, there is a situation with my father, and weirdly, he completely changed the words I had written to him into something far distant. Just as you describe.
This morning, I opened my prayer journal to words I heard from the Holy Spirit several months ago: “Stay with this humility.” When I saw your humble pie, I was humbled further.
I really want to thank you for this and for your earlier words about not bringing accusations. Please forgive me. I should have asked you about this dream before the fast.
I forgot about the bad dreams with water: yes. The demon came out of an electrical fire that happened when water spilled over and covered my hot plate (in the dream). I had to turn it on by pressing the button even though it was under water. A globe of blue water rose up out of the hot plate, elongated into a bell jar, and then erupted into flames. That is when the demon came out.
Thanks for this post. I actually experienced this this week, a very small issue blew way out of proportion and lead to disunity between my Mum and I. The Lord convicted me through Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. However, I still struggled with letting go and had to pray to God to help me, which He did by using my sister to defuse the situation. All is fine now and at peace, to God be the glory.
I also had a dream during that period of a destructive goat on rampage inside my closet, that then made me realise all that happened was a satanic attack. I’m thankful to God that when I call on Him for help with things I can’t do in my power, He helps me. Hallelujah.
Thanks for the post.An eye opener. This is what is happening in my daughter and son ‘s marriage, lot of arguments , disagreement disunity , anger,fault finding,arrogance, defiance ,hatred,caused by small insignificant things.
Please pray with me to ask God to intervene
Sonty, if you read the post it already says no prayer is needed. Share the post with them and explain what is happening. No one is to touch that with prayer. That is what’s feeding it. Blessings
It feels weird to be asked not to pray about something when the Bible says we should be anxious about nothing but in everything make our requests known to God. Based on this, I don’t think anything should be beyond prayer. I know you said differently in the post but for me, prayer always is the go to.
God bless.
Go ahead & do what you feel you need to do. However, if things get worse you know why. Blessings.
