Prophet claims to walk on air in bizarre video

Malawi born Prophet, Shepherd Bushiri, is in the news again for all the wrong reasons. A video claiming to show him walking on air while coming down the stairs of his home in South Africa has received worldwide ridicule.

A relatively new website calling itself News24Zim claimed to have filmed the video which deliberately avoids showing Prophet Bushiri’s upper body and the crucial moment he is meant to be walking on air.

In the almost comical video, Bushiri is seen walking down the stairs with both arms stretched out on either side of him. As he reaches the bottom of the stairs, the camera pans down and he appears to walk on air for a few seconds.

A few weeks ago Bushiri released video footage from his church service where he claimed to be capturing spiritual images on his iPad. This alleged miracle was again poorly stage-managed. He could be seen pressing the button that opens the media library of the iPad, meaning the pictures were already on it.

The walking on air video has been posted on You Tube and also broadcast on his Prophetic Channel TV station.

“If I can walk in the air, somebody thinks I can never capture a simple picture in the spirit. I know who I am and I understand the power of God and what that power can do. He is the God of impossibilities who can do anything,” Bushiri told his congregation.

“We have seen magicians performing miracles, why can’t we, as children of God perform equally and even more great miracles? It’s so unfortunate that some people are quick to believe in a magician’s miracle than in God’s miracle.

“Am not proving anything, am just showing you that God is able and He is performing miracles through his chosen ones. Attack a small miracle, I will pray to God that He makes me perform something even greater than what you have attacked. It’s all possible because he leaves in me, am His temple,” he said.

Bushiri continued: “About the miracle that you have seen me walking in the air is just a demonstration of God’s power and when am done praying to God for perfection, I shall perform it live for everyone to see. That’s last Friday when God showed me that I can do that after I had come from church.”
