Demonic Manifestations Part One
Let's talk about demonic manifestations. Just because someone has manifestations doesn't mean there is a demon. Just be suspicious.
What are some of these manifestations?
One is facial contortions, where the person's face is contorting. The face is so amazing, the muscles it has in it that it can contort like it does. But I also say the flesh can also contort. So, just because you see a face contorting doesn’t mean they have a demon. It could be that they just had a stroke or something. That will cause the face to contort. But, if you're ministering and suddenly there is a facial contortion, it's reasonable to be suspicious.
Another manifestation is screaming. When Jesus delivered that boy, that thing came out with a scream. Just because there is screaming doesn't mean they're demonized, but it can be. Another manifestation is a stiff body. Demons do not have full control of the body, they can only move as best as they can, and they usually shift shape to their nature.
Here is another manifestation: eyes rolling around and a lack of eye control. Matthew chapter 6:22 says, "The eye is the lamp of the body. If therefore your eye is clear your whole body will be full of light." Now, there is a lot of spiritual symbolic meaning in this as well, but there is some very literal meaning in this. When I'm praying for somebody and I'm trying to discern a demon, I tell them to look into my eyes. And they can't, I become suspicious. When you say, "Look into my eyes," and they are backing away and looking away, be suspicious. "Look in my eyes," and they go, "I can't, I can't, I just can't do it." They just don't want to look at you. In other words, be extremely suspicious.
There is also a lot of discernment. You'll be able to discern a lot of times by looking at their eyes, whether there is a demon present. Now it just takes one or two times of looking at that for you to recognize it. And once you see it, it's kind of a glazed-over look and you'll just see it in their eyes, and you'll recognize you're not speaking to that person. You're looking at this person and you're able to discern it. I think a lot of it is discernment.
I've been engaged in conversation with people before and suddenly, I realize I am not speaking to that person. I am speaking to a spirit and that changes every way that I begin to communicate with that person. That is because I realize I'm not talking to them; I'm talking to that spirit. Now I didn't figure this one out for a long time and I ministered to a lot of demonized people before I ever figured this one out. But once I did, it was one of the things I looked for. Whenever I'm ministering, I stare right through that person's eyes, and I try to see what is there.
You make people uncomfortable when you do that. You'll find out when you say, "Well, look me in the eyes." They'll go, "No. " And if they say that,
you'll know that you've got the Holy Spirit that's penetrating. But the eyes are one of the ways that you discern and once you do see that in people's eyes, you will recognize it every time you see it.
Another manifestation is changing voices. When you're ministering to somebody and they start changing voices, be real suspicious. Usually, it is that person's voice. It is that voice, either their vocal cords are getting constricted or getting loosened, normally beyond their normal capacity.
If a man comes out with a woman's voice, it's usually that person's vocal cords that have been simply constricted very tightly. Or a woman who has a man's voice; it's usually her voice and it is simply enlarged, and it comes across as male than she normally would or could do. There have been times when I've encountered a voice coming from a person that wasn't that person.
I also found out that the more you get armed up for this stuff, the more the enemy doesn't like to do a lot of this manifestation stuff because they kind of sense the authority that is there. They know once they expose themselves, they know they are discovered. But changing voices is a manifestation you will probably encounter
