"There is a hidden battlefield within our world, where forces of light and darkness collide, believers say, in a conflict that sometimes spills into everyday life. In its most extreme form, the clash is described as possession: a person seemingly seized by demonic beings, their body overtaken, their voice and movements warped into something not quite human. For Anglican reverend Chris Lee, 43, this is not a theological abstraction but a reality he has lived with for nearly two decades."
"Other encounters followed, as Lee recalled a teenage boy inside a church who suddenly 'leapt up into the sky,' screamed like a beast, and bolted into the woods, his body moving in a 'puppet-like' way, as if controlled by an unseen force. In another case, one that left a deep impression on him, Lee said a girl from a Muslim family began convulsing and speaking in a male voice,"
Anglican reverend Chris Lee, 43, experienced exorcisms after moving to rural Tanzania at 24 during mission work and priest training. He witnessed convulsions, violent illness, screaming, vomiting, and apparent possession that exceeded normal sickness. He observed a teenage boy who leapt into the air, screamed like a beast, and bolted into woods with puppet-like movements. He encountered a girl who convulsed and spoke in a male voice, declaring, 'I'm one of nine here... this is my house,' while pastors struggled to expel an entity. Lee feels purposeful rather than afraid and relies on prayer and faith as authority in a spiritual battle.
