The Rules of Engagement

Reconnaissance

S pirits of B ehemoth and L eviathan The Book of Job graphically depicts the spiritual powers and strength of these principalities as unconquerable by human ingenuity. I caution readers to ensure that they are fighting within their measure of rule and fighting under divine covering. Do not go head-to-head with this principality. Allow spiritual generals to initiate and orchestrate prayer and spiritual warfare activities concerning these spirits. Remember to pray under divine covering! Behemoth has a dinosaur or a large, monstrous spirit. It is an oppressive, powerful, hippopotamus-like creature, known for its supernatural strength. It affects ideologies, political/military strength, and religious/cultural strong holds; involves witchcraft (control); may take years to dismantle/destroy (communication); and becomes violent when attacked. Leviathan, on the other hand, is a crocodile-like sea serpent. It is symbolic of Satan (Rev. 12) and is unconquerable by human strength or carnal weapons We must implore Jehovah-Gibbor to divinely cause their sinews to be ripped and their bones to be crushed. Scriptural reference for the spirit of behemoth and leviathan Job 40:15–24; Job 41:1–34; Psalm 74:14; Psalm 104:26; Isaiah 27:1 Signs, symptoms, and manifestations for the spirit of behemoth and leviathan See “Spirit of Oppression” and “Spirits of Egypt, Pharaoh, and Herod.” S pirit of M ammon Mammon is the financial and economic system and currency of Babylon. It has a personality and can be made a friend or foe, a master or a slave. The word mammon is Chaldean in origin and is translated in English as “wealth.” In the Old Testament, we are told that the wealth (mammon) of the wicked is laid up for the righteous. However, we must be very careful to remember that our priorities must be in order as we approach this particular spirit. In pursuing mammon, we must first be sold out to God. Matthew 6:24 states, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Secondly we must make the pursuit of His kingdom our priority.
