The true and fearful height of idolatry in the Roman Catholic Church

Mexican Catholics celebrating and praying to Santa Muerte the demon of death

There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is destruction. Proverbs 14:12

The question is, which way is right and does not lead unto destruction and death? It is the way of the Bible which is God’s word.

My brethren in Christ, of whom we are of equal in fellowship; I beseech you to search for God and the true ways of God while you still have life.

And if you have God in you already, knowing it for sure and not just in belief, never not stop spreading the truth, especially to those who worship God in falsehood. For it is hard to think, that a man has lived all his years in the Christian Church, but when he shall die, he be counted amongst the haters of God.

May God judge me if I write these things to bring down any man or Church. May God be my judge if there be another motive other than, that men may know and be cautious about the true ways of the Bible and be not deceived. And also that men in the Church may find God while they still have life.

And I have faith in the Holy Ghost my Master and Jesus my Lord that He would save men from darkness and doctrines of Satan and men.

Having written about the Idolatry in the Church of the Romans and other Churches, and having also told of the origin of these idolatry, there is yet an untold reality. And it is about the level of idolatry in the Catholic Church.

I have said, that it is when men can no longer trust the unseen spirit God that idolatry sets in. And also, It is the lack of the knowledge of God that causes men to delve into paganism and idolatry even as Church goers who hold unto the Holy Bible.

Brethren, sin, wickedness and evil grows; I tell you the truth- it grows exponentially.

Accept a gay into the Church, and in 2 years there are five(5) – ten(10) gays in the Church causing an even larger number to derail.

Tell a single lie or break the law and you would be telling 10 more lies to help cover it.

Commit adultery and you would soon count the number of adultery and abortions you have done.

Accept a form of pagan worship and you will soon be counting the pagan gods and system in the Church; like wise idolatry. The more we commit these sins, the more we are given away to greater heights of them.

Therefore the only way that leads to life is total abstinence from what is wrong, sinful and unbiblical.

Pope, Catholic leaders praying before Pachamama– a goddess revered by the indigenous peoples of the Andes. She is also known as the earth/time mother.

Many more forms of idolatry and all sorts of wickedness has been brought into Catholicism just because; sin grows to great heights. It does not wake up to vanish, but strengthens itself as long as we remain in it.

Apostle Paul said in Romans 1:20-22, Brethren Read Carefully;

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who [d]suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 

19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like [h]corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 

25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served what is created rather than the Spirit Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Therefore I am not wrong. When men engage in sin and this time, idolatry, they are given away and taken deeper to these.

1. The worship of Santa Muerte (Demon of Death)

Saint Death (Santa Muerte) being prayed to my Catholics in Mexico.

Called Saint of death by the Roman Catholics and widely known in Mexico, this pagan idol is a representation of death.

Although the Catholics in general and Mexican Authorities have rejected it, it has become difficult to stop men from seeing it as an object of reverence and worship like other idols which they have.

Men pray and seek protection from these things. They seek help from it and from anything visible but from the spirit God who lives above and in whom there is true help and power to overcome death. All this is because they know not God nor do they know His ways. They have grown to believe in protection from what they can see instead of the name of Jesus wherein we have all the protection and support we need.

Such is the truth I speak; that evil begets greater evil; sin begets greater sin, idolatry begets greater idolatry.

This is evil, it is wickedness and God will not overlook. Yes! He will remember.

2. Pachamama Idol Worship

The Pope, Priests and other people kneeling down before Pachamama in a sacrilegious idol worship.

Pachamama is a goddess revered by the indigenous peoples of the Andes. She is also known as the earth/time mother. In Inca mythology, Pachamama is a fertility goddess who presides over planting and harvesting, embodies the mountains, and causes earthquakes.

Brethren observe the trend, prior, it was idols of bible characters but as the years go by, it has entered pure pagan idols.

When men do not put an ancient and biblical land mark, these things are bound to happen.

The Eye of Horus

Egypt is the birth place of witchcraft in the world. And even now, spiritually, the ancient powers of Egypt remains and these things are spiritually discerned.

Horus is an ancient Egyptian god believed to be one of the strongest gods of ancient Egypt.

Illuminati / Satan worshippers. Notice the all seeing eye on their foreheads

His eye is believed to provide protection by his worshippers. It is normally called the ‘all seeing eye‘ or the eye of providence. It has also become a symbol of the illuminati/Satanists and the free mason occult plus the New World Order.

An illuminati announcement. Notice the eye and the triangle on the paper?

These things are not hidden. They are truths visible to all who are for, and belong to the truth.

But the question is, why would these things also be found in a Church of God? Why would men who claim to belong to God have these things amongst them? The pictures below speak volume.

Catholic Church in Poland with ‘Horus Eye’
Masonic triangle’ and ‘Horus eye’ in a Catholic church
A Catholic Priest white is robe and cap which has the eye of Horus and the triangle on it.

As can be seen from the Images above, somehow, somewhere these things have become part of the Roman Catholic Church.

Does light and darkness have anything in common? No! Of course not. But Men who don’t have God, men who don’t know God have done this wickedness to deceive the people of my God. A people who does not make time to see with their eyes that there is a biblical standard to the worship of God.

These things where not there from the initial stage of Christianity even of the Roman Catholic. But as I have pointed out, one evil begets another. Because they did not trust God and the Spirits power, they were given out to all depravity of the mind and deceptions by wicked spirits and evil men.

Pagans say the eye of Horus is all seeing and gives protection and providence, brethren, shall a Christian man seek protection from the eyes of a pagan god? Do we not see the level of idolatry and paganism in the present Catholicism? And know we not that God will not pardon men who do these evil things? Yes! He will remember.

Conclusion

Evil begets evil brethren, wickedness begets greater wickedness. We must ask ourselves, if the idolatry and paganism is growling to heights of accommodating satanic elements, symbols and idols, what would be done in 50 years coming if Jesus tarries? Surely it would be hard to think of.

This is a wakeup call with which I would like to close the idolatry episode of the Roman Catholic Church. I eagerly beg all Christian men to run away from idolatry and all forms of unbiblical system of worship, that REVIVAL may happen to us in one Spirit and one Power in Jesus’ name; Amen!

Remember the judgments of God: a warning to Nigerian yahoo boys

By

Fraud-starters and cyber-criminals are everywhere, in every nation. But because of what the Lord said to me, I choose to address my brothers in particular concerning the inevitable judgments of God.

The word of the Lord came to me not too long ago, and this same word has spurred my intercession for the youths and teenagers of the Nigerian nation who are involved in online scamming, cyber fraud, or what we normally call Yahoo or Yahoo Plus. I was not only moved to intercede but also to write to them the counsel of the Lord.

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Proverbs 14:12)

Yahoo & Fraud as Wickedness

The Bible aids us in classifying sins into various groups, even though they all grieve the Spirit of God. For instance, some sins lead to death, and others do not (1 John 5:16).

Those which do not lead to death are still called sin, but they do not automatically spiral into eternal torment in hell. For instance, it is a sin not to evangelise or pray. Late-coming to church is also bad, but these things will not automatically lead one to hell.

However, sins that lead to death are iniquity. Iniquity can be grouped into general sin and outright wickedness. Wickedness is when one intentionally causes his neighbour or fellow man hurt or pain. It is when one breaks the Golden Rule by doing to his neighbour what he would hate if the inverse were the case (Matthew 7:12). And the Bible has a firm counsel for wickedness:

“Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished…” (Proverbs 11:21)

God is loving and merciful, as the Bible declares, yet all His ways are judgment(Deut 32:4). This reveals that all His dealings with men will be of judgment. That is to say, God will judge everything we do, whether good or bad. King Solomon told bible readers about this nature of God in Ecclesiastes 12:14.

God will judge everything; He will bring every secret thing into remembrance, both good and evil, and He will justify the righteous. But as for the wicked, they will never go unpunished. Therefore, those who steal by proxy, cheat, and fraudulently do wickedly will never escape the judgment of the Lord.

The Punishment for Wickedness

If we view the Bible as the solid counsel of God, we must recognise that these severe judgments await wickedness:

1. The wicked will reap what he has sown

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7). This passage means that the one who sows wickedness must expect a harvest of wickedness. In his days on earth, he shall also see wickedness. The one who makes others cry must look forward to the days when he will reap sorrow and grief and many tears.

Some persons suffer at their old age because of what they did in their young age.

A woman once narrated how God stopped her from interceding for a sick fellow, saying that the woman had done something in the past that brought about her suffering and plague.

Prophet Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj also shared a similar testimony where he was stopped from praying for a bedridden woman because of her past wicked deeds. That is the destiny that awaits those who are quick to wickedness. Evil days lie ahead of them. “There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.” (Isaiah 48:22).

2. Cursed Children and Posterity

The Bible tells us that children are a heritage and a reward from God (Psalm 127:3). A reward is a prize for what has been done, and this is true for both positive and negative deeds. The Bible says that the generation of the upright shall be blessed (Psalm 112:2), but at the same time, it tells us that the children of the wicked shall suffer hunger and be cut off (Psalm 37:28, Job 27:14).

Yes! God rewards the wicked with generational curses and children who will be frustrated. Also, they bear children whom God will use to pay them back for their wicked ways.

I know of a pastor who was a thief as a young man; he produced a child who steals even church money.

I know of a man who was in a cult that had havoc on men as a young man. Now he is a church deacon, but all his sons are thieves. I once prayed for those children, but the Lord said to me that only their father can deliver them. Sins of the Parents.

I know of a young man who is an imbecile. His mother practised wickedness and witchcraft against a fellow woman. God decided to pay her back, and that child with Down syndrome is her reward.

Yahoo boys and those in wicked cults do not know the judgment of the Lord. In wickedness, one brings curses that can never be easily revoked upon his children. If that man lives longer, he will see great suffering.

And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the wicked, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.” Exodus 34:6-7

3. No Deliverer in the Day of Calamity

The wicked person puts the thought of disaster and calamity far from him. He forgets the benefits of God. But on that day of trouble, at the wake of an evil day, there will be no help for the wicked. All the darts of his enemies will reach him. King Solomon advised us to remember our Creator in the days of our youth, before the evil days come (Ecclesiastes 12:1).

4. Hell and Eternal Punishment

The flaming fires of hell reserved for the devil and his angels will also receive the wicked (Matthew 25:41). That place will be their final abode, filled with endless suffering and the weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:42).

Psalm 9:17: “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”

A Call to Repentance and Reconciliation

Many times, God does not enforce judgement until the wicked have been told the truth. This is why the Bible says, “Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts…” (Hebrews 3:15). By rejecting the call of God to repentance for the forgiveness and cleansing of sins, we actively decide to be judged and condemned.

The Prophet Ezekiel tells us that God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live (Ezekiel 33:11). God’s deepest interest is in our repentance and turning away from the ways of wickedness. But what if the wicked refuses to turn back? The counsel of God will overrun his proud heart.

The Window and Time of Mercy

The time of mercy is a function of the forbearance of God. There is a limit to which God bears with wickedness. When the wicked continue in his nefarious ways, it gets to a point where God swears never to show mercy, even if the person repents or converts.

Some may be saved from hell, but they will never be saved from paying the earthly consequences for what they have done. This is why the wicked must stop their wicked acts.

My counsel to Yahoo boys and girls is that they cannot afford to forget the judgments of God.

Prisoners of Destiny – None dare to say no to the call

By
Ogba Victor
-

In my brief years in Christian ministry, I have learnt and seen and am now equipped to talk about certain individuals who do not know that they are prisoners of destiny, who will eventually spiral into wretchedness because they have rejected the call of God for their lives. 

This exposition aims to encourage those who have received one call or another from God not to waste their years pursuing shadows. In the end, they will suffer not only themselves but also their posterity.

The call of destiny is one of subjective truths. A lot of persons believe one thing or the other. My concern is for those who have the calling of God to work in his vineyard as ministers, separated unto the gospel and edification of the church.

Now, we have various ministries in the vineyard of God, with the five-fold ministry being the most prominent. However, ministry extends to music, choral, ushering, and administrative units as well.

God has called individuals into these units and given them the grace to operate within them. All these roles are for the edification, sustenance, and preparation of the church for the day of the Lord.

It is common to see those called into the service of God feeling hesitant and reluctant, refusing to answer the Master’s call. Many fear the hardships that come with ministry and are afraid of a regimented life in Christian service. Some simply love the things of the world more than the things of God.

Regardless of the reasons behind refusing the call of God, the outcome is often wretchedness, poverty, struggles, and delays.

How do I know this? I once prayed for a man who was wretched, poor, and had contemplated suicide due to his condition. Before we even began praying, the Lord revealed to me that his problems stemmed from a call he didn’t answer. The Lord made it clear to me that anyone who has a call and does not fulfil it will suffer.

During our conversation, he spoke of another minister who had told him his suffering was because he stopped doing the work of God, which is preaching the gospel. Then I encouraged him to go back to God’s work. It wasn’t long before the Lord commanded me to lay hands on him for upliftment. He was a prisoner of destiny.

A prisoner does not have freedom of movement. He cannot decide the where, when and how of things in his life. He is under a regimen imposed by imprisoning forces. He dares not say no!

In Bible school, I met ministers who shared how they rebelled and tried to pursue their own desires until they found themselves brought to nothing after many wasted years.

When the Lord positioned me in ministry, He told me clearly that I would do nothing in this world apart from working for Him. At that moment, I understood that there was nothing for me outside of His vineyard. My earthly existence, and everything that pertains to me—both good and bad—has been captured in the destiny and path that God has chosen for me.

If I refuse to obey or hesitate, I will ultimately achieve nothing. Delays, poverty, and wretchedness would unfold in my life because the Creator has nothing for me outside of His vineyard. All the blessings I need for life—whether marital, financial, or otherwise—are encapsulated in His agenda for me. I am a prisoner of destiny, separated unto Christ; woe to me if I preach not the gospel.

I know of a lady who had received multiple revelations from the Lord indicating that she was called into kingdom labour. She rejected all advice to walk in the light of her calling. One day, the Lord gave her a revelation in which she saw her heart’s desires—husband, children, and a fulfilling life—within a church environment. This showed her that everything was organised for her according to her divine destiny. Any attempts to exist outside that path would leave her on her own. Alas, she is also among the prisoners of destiny.

Many among us are busy with nothing, wandering, and refusing to answer the call. Some still hope to achieve their dreams outside of their calling, but this will surely lead to suffering and wretchedness. This is what the Lord has told me.

Several biblical passages support and illustrate this truth.

For instance, look at the Prophet Jonah, who rejected the missionary call to Nineveh. He thought he could escape God’s plan, but he nearly paid for it with his life.

Apostle Peter did answer the call but abandoned it and returned to catching fish in John 21. By abandoning the call to fish for men, the fishes in the river swam far from him. The Bible records that he laboured all through the night but caught nothing. 

When Jesus came, He told him to cast the net in the same place he had tried many times in disobedience, and now, in obedience, the fishes came to him. Had Jesus not arrived to reorder Peter and the disciples, they would have entered seasons of hunger, poverty, suffering and wretchedness for abandoning their call.

Perhaps the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 9 knew that none dare say no; he knew he was a prisoner when he exclaimed, Woe to me if I preach not the gospel. The word “woe” means great sorrow, disaster, or judgment.

The consequences for refusing God’s call can include:

  • Delays and frustrations.
  • Lack of stability in life.
  • Wretchedness as the eventual outcome.
  • Suffering throughout life.
  • Possible loss of life or physical well-being.
  • Miniature destiny for posterity.

On the 18th of August, I met with the Lord Jesus in my sleep

On the 18th of August, I met with the Lord after night prayer when I decided to take a nap. I found myself in a church, lying on a bench. Suddenly, the musicians began to play a song that resonated deeply with me, causing me to shed tears.

Then I saw the Lord Jesus. He invited me to watch a TV session with Him. It was like a cartoon video aimed at young people. As I watched the program, I realised that it was a mind-programming script being played on TV. Then I asked the Lord if what He showed me was real, and He replied yes. By “real,” I meant whether there was such programming aimed at young people. I quickly felt ashamed for doubting the Lord’s revelation, as if He were joking. However, He was not angry.

The reason He allowed me to witness this was to increase my awareness of how much the devil is working through his human agents in the multimedia world. This evil scheme is particularly prevalent in the Western world.

I have advice for parents and guidance for children, teenagers, and young men and women: Try to watch your children’s programs with them occasionally. Ensure that shows promoting unusual lifestyles are strictly off-limits for young people under your care.

I once watched an action movie that included a scene where a man kissed another man. This scene had no relevance to the storyline. So, why was there a homosexual kiss in an action movie? It’s a form of mind programming. They intend to make homosexuality seem normal, especially among those who consume such movies.

In the revelation I received, the TV play detailed a wrong approach to life. It was meant to program the character and worldview of young people. The devil is going for the future.

Believers must remain vigilant and prayerful; our enemy, the devil, is wielding all his tools in these last days.

Guided spirituality – the definition of a Christian’s spiritual journey

Guided spirituality - the definition of a Chritian's spiritual journey

True Christians are spiritual people, though the depth of their spirituality may vary based on their experiences and exposure to spiritual matters.

Spirituality is about being open and activated to experience, understand, or do things beyond the physical laws of nature. It involves approaching life from a spiritual perspective and walking in the supernatural. These experiences are only possible with the assistance of spiritual beings. For Christians, the one who empowers us for spiritual matters is the Holy Spirit.

According to God’s design, believers ought to be spiritual people, even though they live in the flesh. We are called to approach life from a spiritual vantage point.

Spiritism vs Christian Spirituality

Spiritism is a practice followed by spiritual individuals known as spiritists. They seek to observe and engage with the spirit realm. Spiritists possess abilities that enable them to navigate life by interacting with unseen forces.

While the idea that allows for spiritism is valid—suggesting that life must be understood through the spirit and that engaging with the spirit realm is essential for a fulfilling life—Christians should refrain from pursuing autonomous spirituality or spiritism.

The spiritual world has existed since creation, but biblical saints and believers were not led into it. Demonic rituals and invitations are needed to access the spirit realm at will.

Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,… Revelations 2:24

The passage above is an excerpt from the letter of John to the Church of Thyatira. It was noted that among them was a teaching that shed light on the deep things concerning Satan. This teaching was abhorrent to Christ, who communicated with John about these matters.

The real issue is not the knowledge but rather how we acquire it. The Bible encourages us to be cautious about the enemy’s tactics. The Holy Spirit also provides insight into the plans, plots, and secrets of the adversary at times.

Gaining an understanding of these secrets is not just valuable; it can help us effectively counteract Satan’s plans. But this knowledge and experience must be guided by the Spirit. When we seek knowledge without the Spirit’s guidance, we risk being misled by evil spirits.

For believers, our spiritual experiences are guided solely by the Spirit of God. We do not have control over what we experience. In other words, we are led to see and experience things beyond the natural realm. This is what I call guided spirituality.

Guided spirituality is a spiritual journey that is supported and contained. Those who are guided do not typically see visions, connect with the spiritual realm, possess knowledge beyond the ordinary, or navigate metaphysical realities unless they are aided.

We are guided by the Holy Spirit, who oversees any influence we exert or receive from the spirit realm.

We know that the Spirit of God operates like a tide. There are seasons when His presence within us is heightened and seasons when it is diminished. During the times when the Spirit of God is more active, we experience greater spiritual events.

Conversely, when His presence is less pronounced, our spiritual experiences are also diminished. When He is dormant, we may lose our spiritual abilities and encounters. This proves that our spiritual experiences are guided.

Also, when believers begin to pray more and the Spirit starts to move in their lives or in the life of the church, spiritual experiences begin to emerge. The more we engage in prayer and worship, the stronger and more frequent our spirituality will become.

When prayer decreases, our experiences begin to fade and evaporate. When sin takes hold of us, we start to lose our connection to spiritual matters, and we cannot do spirituality without Him. These observations remind us that our spirituality is guided.

Spiritists do not rely on prayer to explore their spirituality or to walk in spiritual reality. They do not depend on the strength of a spirit to carry out their enchantments. Once they unlock a channel to spirit reality, they begin to pursue spiritual matters.

The significance of this message lies in alerting believers who may be experiencing spiritual phenomena without a strong connection to the Holy Spirit. Believers must prove their spiritual encounters if they are sponsored by God or by evil spirits.

If our prayer life and holiness seem irrelevant to what we experience spiritually, and if we live in sin while still engaging in spiritual reality, this prompts a critical question: Are these experiences from the Holy God or from the devil?

Or do we not know that the devil also empowers spiritual experiences likened to those from the Holy God? And when spirituality is not of God, it is darkness at play. Let us be well guided.

Soul travel, shape-shifting and the manifestations of darkness 3

There is a part one and a part two of the series concerning the manifestations of darkness.

7. Dream catching

Humans generally are not able to manipulate or create dreams on their own. It is the work of spirits.

Dream catching is the practice of manipulating dreams, often associated with occult science. Those who are able to do it receive teaching and assistance from strange spirits.

While some claim this practice can help dispel bad dreams, it’s important to recognise that any power that eliminates dreams without divine origin is from the dark world.

Anyone who uses this technology is meddling with demons. And when a demon enters a person’s life, it typically causes more harm than good.

If a believer has recurring nightmares, let him seek help from his God, Who is the King of all Spirits – a Mighter Deliverer.

8. Divining

Divining is the ability to capture the future or peep into it. It is an ability enabled by peeping spirits. Spiritual Christians can also divine, but only by the aid of the Holy Spirit. When spirituality is not anchored in Christ, it is of the devil.

The Bible in Acts 16 tells us of a lady who would divine the future, but Apostle Paul cast out the unclean spirit which gave her such ability. This is to say that divining is spirit- aided.

9. Talking and interacting with unseen people

Some can talk and communicate actively with people they cannot see. This is also related to darkness.

10. Sleep talking

Sleep talking does not mean someone is in darkness; rather, it suggests that dark forces are trying to access their life. When people sleep talk, it indicates an interaction with a spirit or demon during sleep.

Our human spirit becomes active during sleep; hence, spiritual forces can engage with it, causing sleep talking. But prayer can help stop their activity.

11. Swimming in Dreams

The case of people who see themselves swimming in the dream is common. However, it indicates that the darker, occult aspects of the water realm are seeking the soul of that individual. Someone who occasionally swims in dreams is slowly being initiated into the marine occult.

12. Witchcraft

I have heard about white witches and their distinction from black witches. In movies, there are often portrayals of good witches. However, it should be known that anyone who is considered a witch has typically undergone initiation and a ritual process. The ability to practice witchcraft is enabled by demons and devils.

13. Necromancy

This is the ability to talk, consult, or interact with the spirits of the dead. King Saul in the Bible consulted a witch in Edom who was also a necromancer. Only the devil’s powers can enable such activity.

14. Animal Twin

This belief is rooted in the traditional cosmology of several ethnic groups in Cameroon and across parts of Central and West Africa. It is also called ‘Alter Ego’ or spiritual double.

Rather than a casual modern “spirit animal,” this is a deeply serious spiritual connection where a person’s soul and physical life are tied directly to a specific wild animal.

In western Cameroon (such as among the Bamiléké or Duala peoples), it is believed that highly initiated men possess the power to shape-shift or project their consciousness into their animal twin. During the night, a man’s human body might be asleep in his bed while his spirit is roaming the forest, hunting or protecting the village in the body of a leopard or elephant.

Believers in Christ must not be part of this culture; neither should they submit to the ritual that enables such manifestation.

Conclusion

The manifestations of darkness in people’s lives are numerous, and it is impossible to account for all of them. Moreover, some experiences are truly unique, such as individuals who find themselves sleeping with snakes in their dreams, engaging in sexual exploration groups during night dreams, or having sexual encounters with ghosts. It is clear that these phenomena are more than mere coincidences; they reveal a deeper presence of darkness at play.

I have written these things to alert Christians and prepare them for the invasion of darkness in these last days. I believe that if Christians understand how darkness manifests itself, they will know when to retreat and seek God for cleansing through the power of Christ Jesus administered when we pray.

Soul travel, shape-shifting and the manifestations of darkness 2

By

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.

Soul travel, shape shifting and the manifestations of Darkness

The manifestations of darkness are both supernatural and metaphysical, and many people have already experienced one form or another.

Manifestations of darkness are like spiritual gifts or endowments made possible as a result of soul or spirit entanglement with powers of darkness. They include,

1. Soul Travel and Astral Projection

This phenomenon of darkness is not concealed. Almost every unbeliever living in these dark times will eventually experience it.

Numerous groups, articles, and books discuss the concept of soul travel or astral journeys into the dimensions of the spirit world.

Why is this seldom discussed in public, despite being real? It is because of the evil deeds of darkness and the devil.

There are various planes of the earth, often referred to as the dimensions of reality. The spirit realm exists beyond the limitations of human perception and physicality. However, it is just as real as the Earth, which is considered the first dimension or plane.

Many do not believe in the spirit realm because their physical eyes cannot perceive it. It requires the strength of a spirit to awaken people to what exists beyond the physical world.

Soul travel, or astral projection, is the ability to separate the soul from the body and explore the unseen spiritual realm, often called the occult world or astral plane.

Human beings consist of both body and soul. Additionally, there is an intangible spirit within each person. This means that the spirit is not visible, while the body and soul are.

Humans engage with the spirit world through their spirit and soul. Believers connect with the spirit solely through their spirit, which is intertwined with the Spirit of Christ. This experience for believers is referred to as guided spirituality.

As Christians, we do not explore the spirit world or soul travel into it; instead, we explore the God of spirits, who is a Spirit and lives in the spirit.

As a result, He can help us perceive the spirit realm, grant us trances, and, on rare occasions, allow us to experience the spirit world according to His will.

Unbelievers and those who dwell in darkness interact with the spirit world using their souls.

When empowered by dark spirits, individuals can experience and explore other planes and dimensions of reality.

Some can see into these realms at will, walk into them at will, and leave their physical bodies to move into the spirit world at will. They can jump from one dimension to another at will.

There are many dimensions in the earth spirit world. I do not know how many dimensions exist; I don’t dwell in darkness.

The first dimension is where surface spiritism occurs. Here, deceased individuals, mystics, and various spirits, as well as some demons, reside. This realm is where we occasionally hear the voices of unseen faces.

There is a report in America about gang stalking that extends beyond the physical world. They are even using unseen nanotechnology, akin to voodoo and witchcraft, against their victims.

American physicians may label it as hallucination and mental illness. However, the cult groups in the US have learnt how to enter the spirit realm to assault their victims. No human law can nab them in the spirit realm.

When one soul travels, the body remains alive. The soul retains the same identity and appearance as the body, as well as all the knowledge acquired in the body.

A travelled soul can receive signals in the spirit realm through his body senses to trigger his awakening.

Gateway to astral travel

  1. Yoga.
    Some people do not know that yoga has occultic roots. It is one of the gateways to accessing spirits that enable metaphysics and spiritism.
  2. Occult initiations. This is most popular, as one may need to be spiritually activated to enable him access to the spiritual world of the occult.
  3. Satanic Rituals, etc

Some believe soul projection isn’t for everyone, but that’s incorrect. Many who experience it are unaware of what enabled them. So they think it is a selective gift. This is also wrong.

I tell you the truth: spirit bonds, rituals and cult initiations activate the experience immediately.

Why Satan enables men to enter the spirit world

When God created man, He bestowed upon him the will and power of choice. He also gave him dominion over the earth. For this reason, only man possesses full dominion in the physical realm of the Earth.

Even our great God cannot act here without man giving him the legitimacy of operation. Yet he still needs the use of a human host.

Spirits both good and bad ones seek to fully express themselves and have relevance in this realm. But they understand that humans have the right of expressive will on earth. They know that the earth was given to man.

Another truth is that spirits also look to bring men into a place where resistance against them is futile; they seek to gain control and prominence.

God approaches this differently; he doesn’t force mankind. Although allowing him to reign will bring us good, he leaves the choice to us.

However, Satan, the thief, killer, and destroyer, does not possess the luxury of time or patience. To dominate humanity, he must bring humans into a realm where men have no legitimacy of dominion, will and power to resist—the spirit world.

Satan leads people into the spirit realm where he can completely influence and use them at will.

This explains why no one whose soul travels to the spirit has the power to resist the devil employing their soul for evil. Satan is overriding their convictions.

This is also why God does not want us to engage in the spirit realm travelling and exploration. We will end up as puppets of demons and strange spirits.

Warning to believers

But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. – Revelation 2:24

Soul travel is one of the depths of Satan. The spirit realm has existed since the time of Adam, yet the Lord Jesus never introduced it to people.

Although scripture has some stories of men who had spiritual experiences, it is important to note that they were all guided into it by the Holy Spirit. It was not by human making.

Today there is a lot of fanciful stuff on the internet concerning this manifestation. Many images are created to depict these ideas, and numerous videos narrate interesting details.

Christians should understand that these things are traps set by Satan to draw people into darkness and its powers. Know this;

  1. The spirit world is inhabited by many spirits, as demons and other forces seek men to possess and prey upon them.
  2. One who leaves their body may never return if captured or held back in the spirit realm.
  3. Certain conditions can prevent the spirit from returning into the body, potentially resulting in permanent death.
  4. Satan will rule over you in the occult world.
  5. All who walk in the depths of Satan will not make it into heaven.
  6. His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue. 2 Peter 1:3

    God has given us all we need as pertaining to life and living a godly life and they are enshrined in the knowledge of Him (Chrst) that has called us. There is no need to seek the illumination of Satan. As we grow in the knowledge of Christ, we achieve all things he has for us. Collosioans 2:10 tells us that we are complete in Him. knowing Jesus is sufficient.

We have a post on how to overcome darkness. Also, know that any spiritual experience that can be stopped by prayer is from the devil.

Now that you have been set free from darkness, how to progress

Now that you have been set free from darkness

We praise God for providing humanity a way to be free from darkness through Christ Jesus. Our Redeemer is strong, and darkness cannot comprehend Him.

A person who has been released from jail needs to be reintegrated into society. Similarly, the Bible describes how someone who has been freed from sin should shape their life to avoid spiritual death.

One who has escaped the devil’s hold in darkness has a few instructions to help navigate and stay strong on the path of freedom and light.

1. Do not go back to Egypt

When God rescued Israel from the strong hand of Pharaoh and the Egyptians, He cautioned them never to return the way they had come for any reason, whether good or bad.

But why would Israel ever want to return to Egypt? If we examine their journey closely, we can see that they indeed attempted to go back to Egypt during times of trial, doubts, and challenges.

The way of light is also perilous, filled with attacks and opposition, and can be challenging. Rough seasons can also arise. For this, many have considered aligning themselves with Satan instead of fighting strongly and hoping on the Lord.

The issue to consider is that one who has escaped darkness shows unworthiness to Satan, while one who has returned to Satan shows unworthiness to Christ.

For we know that Satan’s greatest hope is for our souls to join him in his eternal torment. He even wishes for his agents to share in this fate, which is why he urges them to commit evil acts—this strengthens their condemnation to hell.

So if Satan cannot trust a returnee, he would prefer him dead upon his return to hasten his eternal damnation.

Such a person has also demonstrated that he is unworthy of the kingdom of God. If he returns to darkness and its deeds, God cannot save him. He has proven himself to be a traitor.

But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” – Luke 9:62

My mother spoke of people she once knew who were considered children of God. They had a time in their lives when they chose to explore the world and experience its offerings.

They weren’t driven by temptation; they simply wanted to sample the pleasures of life. Some of them believed they would return after enjoying the world’s delights.

Unbeknownst to them, they crucified the Son of Man a second time. To this day, they remain enslaved to sin and the world, and they are yet to return.

There is a difference between someone who is tempted and deceived and loses their faith, and someone who has known the truth, experienced the power of the kingdom, and recognised Jesus as the true Saviour, yet still chooses to turn away and conform to the world. It is difficult for such a person to return.

God would never raise another Moses should Israel choose to return, so He cautioned them never to go back to Egypt. Similarly, those who have been saved from darkness must not return to Satan. This is self-damnation.

2. Be strong and fight the good fight

In the world, there is a battle between light and dark forces. The more light or darkness one possesses, the more involved they become in the fight, and the safer they are from being converted.

Safety from conversion to darkness is at the war front. Safety from the darts of Satan is also at the battleground. That is where the King leads his army. While we may face stronger and fiercer assaults, the weak who choose to stay at the back become easier victims of the enemy’s tactics and traps.

Jesus assures us that we will face trouble and be hated by many. Persecutions may arise; trials will come. Since we agree that retreating to Egypt is not an option, we must be strong and fight on the side of God and the people of light.

Also, be aware that Satan’s forces will do everything they can to track you down in an effort to conceal their actions. You must be prepared to stand strong and continue fighting. If God chooses to intervene, He can empower you to be resilient in this struggle.

3. Build strong Christian spirituality in the light

It is very difficult to convert or influence a highly spiritual Christian. Yes! Becoming strong makes our battle more intense, but it becomes extremely hard for Satan to get us.

With strong spirituality, what easily besets many unto darkness is merely a joke to us. Even enchanted food doesn’t harm us like it does others. However, our battles are significant, and we are determined to remain on God’s side until our race is complete, even until death.

Now that you have been set free from darkness, it is necessary to begin building a robust, strong Christian spirituality by giving quality time to prayer and the study of the scriptures.

If you want to grow, read your Bible and pray every day. Add many fastings in your quest for a strong spiritual stature. And with attention given to these things, in three years, you could become too strong and heavily endowed to resist Satan.

4. Look away from weak, unserious and lukewarm Believers

Iron sharpens iron indeed. But in the Church today are many woods. Many pastors are smoky, many members are light in spirituality. Do not model them.

Look out for firebrand Christian churches; seek believers who show significant stature in Christ. Pray to meet those who are truly for Christ, for many are pretenders, wolves in sheep clothing looking for whom to prey on. And when you find the right people, copy them.

5. Expose their works

Darkness survives on secrecy. The Bible encourages us to expose them. That way, we become useful to the God who broke us out, and we can save others and edify the church.

What better way to say bye to Satan and make yourself abhorrent to him than by exposing his secret things.

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. Ephesians 5:11

6. Help others come out, save others

When the Apostle Paul was saved, he dedicated himself to helping his fellow Jews. After the man possessed by a legion of demons was delivered, he began to share his testimony about what Jesus had done for him. As a result, the people who had once rejected Jesus welcomed Him during His next visit.

When Andrew met Jesus, he told Peter about it. When Philip encountered the Messiah, he eagerly sought out his brother Nathaniel, saying, “We have found the Messiah.”

The three lepers of 2 Kings 7 did not keep the good news to themselves; they went out to share it and save their people from great hunger and suffering.

God saves us so that we can help save others. He frees us from darkness so that we can help set others free.

Let us not be like some believers today who are selfish and lack love, choosing not to reach out to those who are captives of Satan.

Now that you are free from darkness, help and save others. Show them the light you have found in Christ Jesus.

7. Arise and Shine!

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. Isaiah 60:1

What christians should do to break free from the kingdom of darkness

Can believers be influenced and their souls corrupted by the darkness of the age? Yes! A careless Christian, a lukewarm one, a prayerless one who lacks strong spirituality, one who is not genuinely born again, can fall into darkness. Many already belong to the night.

Nonetheless, here is the good news: Jesus saves! Jesus is the salvation of mankind, and God has ordained him as our saviour and deliverer from all areas of our fall from God.

“Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

The only problem with many believers is lack of knowledge. Also, they fall away from God and refuse to come out of darkness.

I do not write to unbelievers because all who do not believe in Christ cannot escape the dark hold of Satan.

Now, the difference between sin and darkness is that sin is natural to man, while Satanic darkness is a reality that is made possible by demonic powers.

To break out of sin, one must surrender to Jesus and walk in the Spirit. To be free from darkness, one must surrender to Jesus and pray fervently, denouncing Satan.

But we know that many have decided to remain entangled because their deeds were evil. For this, many, although having seen the light, have rejected him to their ultimate condemnation.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practising evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:19-21

People must know that God does not condemn those who dwell in darkness, not yet. The Bible agrees that it is the Devil who instigates their activities over there.

He manipulates their spirits and souls for his wicked works. This is why no one who lives in darkness can say no to being used by the devil.

Any believer who has been entangled and wants to break free from the kingdom of darkness and escape the corruption of it must,

1. Know the finished work of Christ

The first step to overcoming darkness and breaking its yoke is knowledge. We must understand that Christ’s work on the cross covers every aspect of the human fall.

Jesus is not just our saviour from sin but also from guilt, death, sickness, darkness and all the powers of the enemy. And on the cross, Jesus cried, “It is finished!“

It is finished implies that the work he came to do is complete. Sin can now be forgiven and blotted out. Darkness can be forgiven and blotted out. Yokes can now be broken. The captives of the strong men can now be delivered. The work is done, the price is paid, and it is finished.

This is where our victory comes from against Satan and all that he will ever do against mankind. If people understand this, there is no covenant of hell they cannot come out of, the price is paid.

2. Know the Power of Christ

The second knowing is to know the power of the God of ages over the enemy.

One of the greatest tools the enemy has used to keep men under his rule is fear. He makes them feel as if they can never escape his shadow completely.

Some societies scare their captives by threatening to kill them if they tell on them or attempt to leave. Believers who do not know the power of God will live in fear and captivity.

Here is my rebuttal: Unless you are venturing out into open space, there’s no need to live in fear of them. If you step out and wholeheartedly return to Christ, He will not only forgive, but He will also protect His own.

The power of the Lord is unmatched by all the forces of darkness combined. He is a steadfast rock for His children. Life and death are in His hands; those whom the Lord proclaims will live shall certainly live, for the enemy cannot touch them.

All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. John 6:37

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. John 10:28

And concerning whether one can fully break free from the kingdom of darkness and nullify all ties, it is written:

“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36

Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered. Isaiah 49:24-25

3. Break the ties, denounce the covenants, and null the entanglements through fervent prayers

With faith anchored in the finished work of Christ, and having known the power of the God we serve, we then generate power to counteract the power of Satan and pull down the strongholds of darkness over our souls.

Prayer is the engine that generates great power against all the powers of the enemy. And when mingled with fasting, prayer generates very great power to cast down darkness.

With the weapon of prayer and fasting, we can destroy the power of the demons and dark magic that causes the manifestations of darkness. Prayer also nullifies the charms, food, and poison that were used to galvanise our experience of darkness.

With prayer in the name of Jesus, we can also denounce the covenants and break all manner of ties with the kingdom of darkness.

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God…” 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
