As we discussed in our previous post, manifestations of darkness are experiences that can ensue from entanglements with dark forces or when men are initiated into the kingdom of darkness. These abilities manifest only with the assistance of unclean spirits.

2. Shape-shifting

One of the most powerful expressions of darkness in reality is shapeshifting. This is the ability to change into animals or other objects, especially living matter. Soul travellers can also shape-shift in the occult world.

This ability is often depicted as harmless or as an act of white, harmless witchcraft in movies. However, in Africa, we understand that such abilities are typically attained through occult rituals and initiation into secret satanic cults.

When witches shapeshift, they can transform themselves into animals like cats, rats, owls, etc.

3. Lucid Dream

Dreams are natural to almost all humans, but there is an unnatural dream that occurs when darkness is gaining on an individual. It is called a lucid dream, often referred to as dream reality. It is listed among the manifestations of darkness.

A lucid dream can be experienced just as one falls asleep, and the experience feels as real as life itself. Lucid dream world exists in the space between regular dreaming and the spiritual realm.

A person who is lucid dreaming and has gained significant experience can choose to either move into the spirit world or return to the earthly plane. The knowledge of how to transition from a lucid dream into the occult world is not inherently possessed by anyone; rather, it is taught to people by spirits.

Signs of Lucid dreaming.

• Self-awareness: You realise that the events happening around you are not real.
• High clarity: The dream feels unusually vivid, clear, and bright.
• Active control: You can direct what happens next, change the scenery, or perform impossible acts like flying.
• Intense emotions: Feelings or sensory inputs inside the dream feel sharp and powerful.

4. Magic

In the Western world, magic is seen as an art that amazes. Some refer to it as trickery achievable by devious manipulations of the human sight and mind. This is called playing magic.

But there is real magic. Only those who have received enablement from demons do them.

I once had a classmate who confessed to exploring magic as a young boy until he could turn off the TV with his eyes. In Africa, we have rain holders and those who can cause it to fall. There are words that, when spoken, produce strange paranormal activities.

Some yoga activities can enable individuals to move objects with their minds. While this may seem unreal and vague to many, it is not unfamiliar to us Africans who live among witch doctors in our societies. When we observe these phenomena being showcased as entertaining activities in the Western world, we recognise that darkness is parading in public spaces, yet many remain unaware. Christians cannot afford to be ignorant in these last days.

5. Sky walking and flying

Humans do not possess the natural ability to fly or suspend themselves in the air. When such feats occur, spiritual forces are involved.

Sky walking is an event characterised by the spiritual uplifting of souls into the heavens, typically occurring at night. Individuals who experience this phenomenon can often see others who have had similar experiences. Some achieve this through soul projection, while others may encounter it during lucid dreams. Sometimes, dreams about dying and meeting others in the heavenly realms are real events that the dreamer is unaware of.

From experience, whenever I dream of being pulled up or caused to levitate, I immediately begin to call on Jesus until whatever force has lifted me up brings me back down. Subtle initiation starts from dreams.

Calling upon the name of Jesus, if I am put down, suggests that the flight experience was due to dark forces that bow to His name. Whatever experience prayer can terminate is of the devil.

Another way men experience this is through the physical body. This is mainly practised by active witches. Yes, witches fly physically. Some shapeshift to fly, while others use items just like in Harry Potter. In Africa, witches fly with sticks or whatever tech they know to use.

When humans begin to exhibit those superhuman physical abilities, it is not a gift; it is an ability driven by dark forces.

6. Teleporting

Teleporting means moving instantly from one location to another without crossing the physical space between them. While teleporting is the grand word, it is simply known as appearing and disappearing. And yes, agents of darkness can do this in the spirit realm, or physically by strong demonic empowerment. This is also listed among the manifestations of darkness.
