"Jag är A och O, säger Herren Gud, han som är och som var och som kommer, den Allsmäktige." - Upp 1:8
KUNDALINI WARNING - Urgent by Andrew Strom.
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 very 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 focalpoint 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, 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 1993-4, 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 whatever 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 links below-
