Leviathan — Watchfulness, Faith, and Remaining in Christ — Win Worley

In his booklet “Leviathan… and Names of Other Spirits”, Win Worley associates Leviathan with pride and with hindering spiritual life. He describes obstacles to prayer, understanding God’s Word, and heartfelt worship. He emphasizes that the believer’s response must rest on the power of Jesus Christ.

Worley draws attention to the need to remain watchful over pride in our own lives. He writes that we are all susceptible to it and should guard against allowing it to gain a foothold in our thinking. He also warns against becoming absorbed in details about spirits, which can distract us from the true purpose of the battle.

Among the sources of spiritual edification, he lists praying in the Spirit and with understanding, studying the Bible, heartfelt worship, and fellowship with other believers. These are the very areas he says Leviathan seeks to weaken.

In Worley’s wider teaching on spiritual protection, the armor of God in Ephesians 6 has an important place. His sermon archive describes “God’s Armour” as a call to make use of this protection, especially the shield of faith that extinguishes the enemy’s fiery darts.

The description of his sermon “Sin in the Camp” emphasizes submission to God’s authority, repentance, and obedience to the Word. In this understanding, spiritual protection remains connected to daily life with Christ: faith in His authority, prayer, and turning away from one’s own sin.
