Ghanaian musician and sound engineer Morris Babyface has opened up about the disturbing experiences he says confronted him while trying to leave behind his former lifestyle and embrace Christianity.

The 46-year-old, who has since become known for his Christian faith, said his turning point began around 2009 when he repeatedly experienced frightening dreams that he interpreted as warnings to change his ways.

Speaking on The Delay Show, Morris Babyface said one recurring dream involved a fiery finger pointing at him and urging him to repent.

“In 2009, I’d be sleeping and I would see a finger in the form of fire cautioning me to repent from my evil ways. The finger would come pointing at you again and caution you to change from your evil ways,” he recounted.

He said another experience left him convinced that failing to change his lifestyle could have serious spiritual consequences.

“I would wake up from the dream and would want to repent because, intuitively, I knew I’d go to hell when I die because of my acts,” he said.

Morris Babyface also recalled an episode he described as sleep paralysis, during which he felt conscious but unable to move his body.

“There was a time I slept and had sleep paralysis, struggled to wake up only to realise I was awake but my body was lying down. That’s death,” he said.

Despite his desire to change, he admitted that breaking away from his previous lifestyle was difficult. Even his attempts to fast and seek God were sometimes disrupted by women with whom he had previously been involved.

“I could fast in my quest for God to touch me, but midway through the fast day, one of my campus girls would call me that she misses me,” he said.

According to Morris Babyface, his journey into Christianity was eventually influenced by Bishop Emmanuel Amoah, whom he encountered through fellow musician Lazzy Dog, who had also moved from secular music into Christian ministry.

Looking back, the musician said his conversion gave him a different understanding of the struggles he experienced while attempting to change.

“The fact is that when you are in such situations and you decide to repent, that’s when the real war begins,” he said.

His account offers a glimpse into the personal struggles behind his transformation from a secular musician to a committed Christian, a journey he now regards as one of the most difficult but significant changes in his life.
