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 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, 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 Yogănandji Mahărăja 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

I went to Lakeland 3 times.
I was so drawn to go there. I really thought it was of God... I had so many supernatural experiences - to seeing a mystical Jesus with a third eye, angels talking
to me, visions,
being transported. I had one experience with my daughter being in the room and her experiencing it too. I was roaring like a lion, had gold dust and many
other experiences. The worst thing that happened to me is that it got sexual. This false Jesus
was
approaching me sexually and I fell into it. I still to this day do not understand how I could have been so decieved. I have been
a Christian since
the age of 16. I am 49 now... I fell right in... hook, line and sinker. When I came home that last viist I became
aware it was
demonic, and I was surrounded and covered with demons
literally, it was so horrible, all that I went through, you cannot
imagine... I
was seeing demons and being touched sexually and tormentingly constantly.. it has been 1 1/2 years and I am still battling these demonic spirits. I cry out to the Lord everyday
for total deliverance. It has been horrible. I have renounced and repented, but still fighting. How do we get free of this?

I can testify that I was infested with this foul eastern spirit,
the kundalini.
I was in a movement from 1992 - 2000 which had close links with the Toronto movement. From 2000 - 2006 I joined a church with links to Bill Johnson.
I was desperate for God to move in my life and change situations
and heal hurts
and was very open to ministry - I had many in this movement touch my forehead and experienced the manifestations you describe - drunkenness, laughing and crying, shaking.
I got dreams
and visions and just before I left the structure (church) I had a vivid dream of a huge python that came through the back door and attached itself to my car, and also to
rooms in my home.
I was very disturbed and sought the Lord for an answer.
It took about 6 months before I was delivered, but God brought
a couple over
my path who God had trained and had victory over spiritual entities. Every time I was in their presence, I would get very anxious, and they would calmly pray for me and I could
feel darkness
leaving and my sanity restored. It was only after 6 months of these episodes, I was again in their presence and sensed a fight ensue in the Spirit. I was
very anxious and fearful and could feel a huge snake in my spine - I was rigid and very uncomfortable - It felt as if this thing wanted to throttle me and rob me
of my life. I called
out to God and they quietly prayed - then I asked the Lady to pull this serpent out of my head - it felt as if it could exit near the top of my crown. She continued
to pray and I got the word "kundalini " in my spirit and just commanded this thing by its name to go in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. I pled the blood
as it was very
frightening, and it left. I felt like a washed out rag, but I was free!
That was the last lime I had deliverance and my spiritual eyes
have since opened
and God has done a mighty work in me outside of the structure... Afterwards they were amazed and asked me what strange term I had used and where it came from - I had
no idea except
that it was God who gave me knowledge in that situation.
Thank you for the info that has made everything clear to me!I
Now have confirmation
from where I was infected! May many of your readers heed the call of God to "come out and sever yourselves" from Babylon and its lies and deception and foul spirits, while there is time...

David Wilkerson also mentioned the kundalini spirit, and I
researched it in late October, after having attended the Fredericks-burg (Virginia) Prayer Furnace
at which Che Ahn ministered.
There, I saw many of the manifestations you mention:hopping
and jumping during "worship", falling backward at Che Ahn's touch,
extreme jerkiness
in several cases. Very uncomfortable with this, I came home and watched (my first time ever) videos of Todd Bentley. Needless to say, I was appalled...

I'm just about in tears over all of this...
May and I watched the very first nights of the recent "outpouring
of the Holy Spirit"
on the IHOP webstream and boy, did that turn sour fast. Aside from the singing on the first night, everything was just messed up. AHH! It's breaking my heart! How many people
do we know and
love in KC?!
I've watched my beloved siblings laugh uncontrollably, jerk as
though sick,
stumble and speak as though drunk, and "sing in tongues" in complete chaos and without interpretation. I've raised the issue among friends of being "drunk in the Spirit"
and even though
I prove over and over that God is for self-control, which they
agree with, they continue to act like drunken fools! (See Titus
1:8 and 2:2;
1 Thessalonians 5:6-7 which compared in the KJV relates self-control with being sober, pointing to the fact that the Holy Spirit is not one who takes delight in being drunk
at all, but in
being sober-minded - fruit of the Spirit, what? Drunkenness is the complete opposite of being filled with the Holy Spirit! For sober-mindedness is a filling
of Him!; 1 Peter 1:13, 4:7, and 5:8 ...

A very dear friend of mine who has been my prayer partner for
years were lured
into the enemy's web of deception about many of the ministries and manifestations that you spoke about. After reading and listening to your web broadcasts we had a powerful
prayer session
repenting, renouncing, and commanding any spirit that we had picked up from these false prophets/doctrines of demons, etc. to go from us in Jesus' name. We broke all
kinds of things
off of us. Most of it was deep repentance and renouncing -
thank you for exposing the enemy and his tactics and all the
deception that
the church body has fallen deeply into...
ANDREW STROM: Yes
- if you have had "hands laid" or done
"soaking prayer" under any of these kinds of ministries, it is
very important
to RENOUNCE (from the very depths of your being in Jesus' name) and also COMMAND OUT these 'kundalini' spirits or any other "anointing" that you have received. Remember, you
must VIOLENTLY
EXPEL these things in the name of JESUS.
Be FREE in His mighty name!
I truly wonder what God is going to do to those ministries who
have been spreading
this alien spirit right through the Body of Christ. Truly, Judgment must begin "at the house of God."
Blessings to all,
Andrew Strom.
