Domain 4: Divided Churches
Leviathan The Divider of the Body
Problem: The Bride Torn by Her Own Hands
The Church, the Bride of Christ, was meant to be one body united under one Head. Yet in every generation, fractures form. Competing denominations claim exclusive truth. Prideful pastors build empires instead of disciples. Legalism chokes grace in one corner while lawlessness excuses sin in another. Doctrinal disputes turn pulpits into battlegrounds.
While the lost wander outside the gates, too many inside are fighting over music styles, leadership titles, and minor theological points. Congregations split, friendships shatter, and revival is suffocated under the weight of wounded egos.
- The sheep suffer and starve spiritually.
- They grow suspicious of all leadership.
- They become easy prey for cults, false teachers, and the wolves Scripture warns about.
Historical Context: Leviathan in Scripture
The Leviathan of Job 41, Psalm 74:14, and Isaiah 27:1 is more than a sea creature. It is a spiritual picture of a twisting, coiling force that resists God’s order. In Hebrew thought, Leviathan symbolized chaos and rebellion. Early Church writers, including Augustine, saw it as a representation of Satan’s power to confuse and divide.
In the Church, Leviathan moves quietly, twisting words, inflating egos, misrepresenting motives, and sowing suspicion between leaders and members.
Some of the most devastating blows to the Church’s witness have come from within:
- The Great Schism of 1054 split Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism.
- The Reformation brought needed truth but also birthed hundreds of splinter groups.
- Modern disputes over secondary issues turn brothers and sisters into enemies.
The pattern repeats: unity collapses, love grows cold, and the mission stalls while the adversary celebrates.
Result: A Feast for the Enemy
When the Church is divided, Hell feasts. Doctrinal pride says, “We are the only ones doing it right.” New believers are crushed by conflicting teachings. The world sees not the love of Christ but the politics of man. Revival dies before it begins because the Spirit moves in unity, not strife.
“If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.” Mark 3:24
Demonic Power: The Spirit of Leviathan
Leviathan’s tactic is to twist and divide. He twists Scripture to suit ego. He twists motives so allies appear as enemies. He twists communication so what was meant in love is heard as attack.
Leviathan does not care if you are doctrinally correct as long as you are relationally wrong. His aim is not just heresy but hostility. A divided Church is a powerless Church.
The Redemption: One Body, One Lord
The cure for division is not compromise on truth but humility under the truth. Return to the Word without man’s additions or denominational branding. Come back to the blood and the cross as the central message. Raise Bible-rooted teachers who fear God more than they love a platform. Unite under Christ, remembering that He alone is the Head of the Church.
Testimonies: When Unity Overcomes Ego
- A pastor who split his church over worship style repented publicly, reconciled with leaders, and now serves on a multi-denominational prayer team.
- Two congregations that had not spoken in years united for a citywide outreach, and revival broke out.
- A leader known for theological debates now preaches grace with truth, laying down his platform to serve in humility.
Mission: Healing the Bride
- Heal wounds between churches through prayer gatherings, joint outreaches, and confession services.
- Restore honor to the Word by teaching Scripture in context, free from ego and tradition.
- Raise teachers who feed the sheep instead of themselves.
- Break Leviathan’s grip through intercession, fasting, and reconciliation among believers.

Why liaisons? These powers chiefly rule other domains but feed division (lawlessness, money leverage, platform seduction). Cutting their supply lines weakens Leviathan’s grip.
