Is a demonic manifestation a sign of a successful deliverance?
Unfortunately, demons can and do manifest without coming out. Therefore, this can be deceiving and dangerous to rely on manifestations as a sign of a successful deliverance. A successful deliverance will provide true lasting relief for the individual. To manifest, means to make itself known; this has nothing to do with being set free from them. It’s often a good sign to run into a manifestation during a deliverance, but it doesn’t necessarily mark a successful deliverance. I know some people go through a deliverance, a demon manifests, and then goes back under (stops manifesting), and everybody rejoices thinking the deliverance was successful, but the problem is, the demon only manifested but didn’t leave. The person then walks away confused because they think the deliverance ministry is a weird practice that doesn’t really solve any of their problems. Therefore, it is very important to not rely on a demonic manifestation to tell whether or not a deliverance was successful.
