I
just saw the video of Rick Joyner announcing that Todd Bentley is
back ministering every night at Morningstar in North Carolina
and now they have so-called "revival" manifestations eerily
similar
to Lakeland. They also announced that they are streaming these
big meetings every night on their new TV channel - and they are greatly
promoting the whole thing.
Now I
am a tongues-speaking Pentecostal myself - but can I ask a simple
question here please? What kind of "spirit" was
it operating in the Lakeland revival - when the leader and
main focal point of the meetings (Todd Bentley) was having
an adulterous affair behind the scenes? Was it truly the "Holy" Spirit
that was anointing something so sensual and unholy? And now
that Todd divorced his wife and married his mistress - are
we supposed to welcome him back and this "anointing" with
him? What is going on here? Rick Joyner has been warned very
specifically by high-level ministries not to do what he is doing now
- bringing Todd Bentley back into the limelight. And yet it
seems he does not care. Apparently the "manifestations" are all that matter.
So what
exactly are these 'manifestations' if they are seemingly at
home in such an unholy environment? Are they from God at all?
(I am talking here about the violent "jerking", uncontrollable laughter,
bodily contortions, drunkenness, 'portals', strange "angel" encounters,
etc.) Why do we not see such an 'anointing' in the Bible?
Why aren't Jesus or the apostles promoting these manifestations
if they really are true Revival? Why instead do we
see these things all the way through the New Age and Hinduism, etc?
Do we not realize that many false religions have their own version
of "laying on of hands" that results in these very
types of manifestations? This 'spirit' is not in the Bible
- but it is all the way through Kundalini-type Hinduism! Don't
you think this should alarm us?
WHAT is KUNDALINI?
If you
search for Kundalini and Shakti on the Internet, you will find that
multitudes of people in the New Age and Eastern religions still
experience these powerful manifestations. Often this is with the
help of a Guru, who touches them on the forehead so that they can experience a "Kundalini Awakening".
As researcher Robert Walker wrote in 1995:
"The
meetings which mystic Hindu gurus hold are called 'Darshan'. At
these meetings devotees go forward to receive spiritual experience from
a touch by the open palm of the hand, often to the forehead...
(this is exactly what I saw happen at the one and only Benny Hinn meeting I went to in Kansas City in 1993.)
by the
guru in what is known as the Shakti Pat or divine touch. The raising
of the spiritual experience is called raising Kundalini…
After a period when the devotee has reached a certain spiritual
elevation they begin to shake, jerk, or hop or squirm uncontrollably, sometimes
breaking into uncontrolled animal noises or laughter as they
reach an ecstatic high. These manifestations are called 'Kriyas'.
Devotees sometimes roar like lions and show all kinds of physical
signs during this period. Often devotees move on to higher
states of spiritual consciousness and become inert physically and appear to slip into an unconsciousness..."
And
as the guru Shri Yogãnandji Mahãrãja
wrote:
"When
Your body begins trembling, hair stands on roots, you laugh or
begin to weep without your wishing, your tongue begins to utter
deformed sounds, you are filled with fear or see frightening visions…the
Kundalini Shakti has become active."
In China
there is a popular Kundalini-type movement called Qigong'. When
a Chinese Qigong spiritual master spoke in the USA in 1991,
the San Francisco Chronicle reported that many in the crowd began
to experience "spontaneous movements". The master told his
audience, "Those who are sensitive might start having some strong
physical sensations - or start laughing or crying. Don't worry. This
is quite normal."
When you
see videos of these "kriyas" or
other Kundalini-type manifestations, you would often swear that you are watching a
modern "Impartation"-type church meeting. (And I say this
as
someone who believes strongly in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I just don't
believe in "alien" anointings infiltrating the Body
of Christ! There is a big difference between Kundalini and the real Holy Spirit).
Since
1993-1994, I believe a foreign spirit has been allowed to invade the
church - first through Rodney Howard-Browne's ministry - then Toronto,
then the Prophetic movement (which I was part of at the time)
and on into Lakeland and many other ministries and movements.
I urge people now to "test the spirits" just as
we are commanded to in Scripture. Do not let just anyone lay
hands on you. This is a powerful spirit and it has the backing
of a lot of big-name ministries. In fact, these men and women
are the very ones responsible for allowing it to spread right
through the body of Christ. And one day they will be answerable to God for doing so.
We are
specifically warned in the Bible that the Last Days will be a time
of "seducing spirits," false prophets, 'lying signs
and wonders,' and that we always need to watch for "angels
of light" masquerading as the real thing. Why does the
modern church not take these warnings seriously? Aren't we
living in the very days that the Bible warns about?
Right
now I need to do something that I have never done in such a
way before. I have never before published a list of ministries or movements
to watch out for. But this time I have to. This sickness has
gone on long enough. I urge you to cut yourself off from the
following ministries and their tainted "anointings" my
friends. Even though some of these people say "good things" at
times, it is simply not worth having any involvement with
them due to the tainted anointing that they endorse or minister
in themselves. Here is the list:
(1) Todd
Bentley
(2) Rodney Howard Browne - the so-called "Holy Ghost Bartender."
(2) Rick Joyner or anyone connected with Morningstar Ministries.
(3) John Arnott & any connected with TACF (The "Toronto Blessing").
(4) Peter Wagner of the 'New Apostolic Reformation'
who claims to be head of a worldwide network of 'apostles'
- who publicly endorsed Lakeland and will soon preach at Toronto TACF alongside other "false anointing" advocates.
(5) Mike Bickle and IHOP Kansas City (-I
lived nearby for over two years - and know how much they are into all this stuff. Mike Bickle promotes it in his book).
(6) Bob Jones - the Kansas City prophet whose ministry is utterly tainted by it all.
(7) Patricia King and anyone else from 'Extreme Prophetic.'
(8) John Crowder & anyone connected with "Sloshfest."
(9) Bill Johnson of Bethel church, Redding - who says some good things
but publicly endorsed Lakeland and promotes the "false anointing" very strongly behind the scenes.
(10) Heidi & Rolland Baker of IRIS Ministries
- who do good work amongst the poor in Mozambique - but who
have also carried and promoted this tainted anointing for years.
(11) Randy Clark, Wes & Stacey Campbell, and other key
figures from the "Toronto blessing."
(12) The Elijah List - and "almost" anyone featured on it.
Of course
there are a huge number of lesser-known preachers and ministries
who carry or endorse this Kundalini-type "anointing" around
the world. But I have concentrated here on the most influential
that I know of. It really is an enormous issue in the church.
I urge anyone who is a supporter of any of the above ministries
to really check them out thoroughly. If you find (as I have) that
they carry or endorse this false Kundalini spirit in the church, then
please stop supporting them in any way - and hatever you do,
don't let them "lay hands" on you!
I am putting
everything on the line to be "naming names" like
this. But I believe it is that serious. How on earth did we get to the point where "kriyas" just like Hinduism are spreading through the
church?
Please
forward this email to everyone you know, blogs and boards, etc.
These people are trying to "relaunch" this whole thing
right now. Help us get this warning out. To see a video showing "kriyas" and
other Kundalini-type manifestations, please click on the YouTube
