THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOM KIPPUR


Today is Yom Kippur, also known as the “Day of Atonement”, the holiest day of the year in Judaism. Jewish people traditionally observe this holy day with an approximate 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services, as they do this in accordance to what is written in the Old Testament book of the Bible that says; “On that day offerings of purification will be made for you, and you will be purified in the Lord’s presence from all your sins.” Leviticus 16:30 NLT

At that time, the high priest was to perform elaborate rituals, which included animal sacrifices to atone for the sins of the people. (See Leviticus 16:1-34)

But Jesus Christ, the Messiah, “Unlike those other high priests, He does not need to offer sacrifices every day. They did this for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people. But Jesus did this once for all when He offered Himself as the sacrifice for the people’s sins!” Hebrews 7:27 NLT

Yes! “For Christ Himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in His own body on the cross, He broke down the wall of hostility that separated us.  He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations!” Ephesians 2:14-15 NLT

Therefore, “There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 NLT

At that name is the Name Above All Names: JESUS CHRIST!!!

IT IS THE KUNDALINI SPIRIT THAT IS IN THE BETHEL CHURCH & CO.


IT IS THE KUNDALINI SPIRIT THAT IS IN THE BETHEL CHURCH & CO.

The Kundalini spirit is manifesting itself in the Christian, charismatic churches today, where they preach a different Jesus, a different kind of gospel and a different kind of Spirit! (See 2. Corinthians 11:4) It is an epidemic!

WHAT IS THE KUNDALINI SPIRIT?

Kundalini is a demonic spirit known as a counterfeit Holy Spirit, coming from the Eastern Philosophies of Hinduism, which the New-Age philosophy is also based upon.

Under the influence of this demonic Kundalini spirit, people will testify of having “deep spiritual sensations” such as “knowing” other people’s thoughts and full body and outer body feelings of bliss and ecstasy. People also experience uncontrollable physical sensations such as crying, laughing and jerking, twitching and electric spasms, vivid dreams, visions and trances.

I have seen many people manifesting in similar ways after having been through a “fire tunnel,” which is two lines of people standing opposite to each other to form a tunnel. Everybody passes through the middle to have prayer and impartation of the spirit.

IT GOES LIKE THIS

People are deliberately praying for others to receive “more” or “fire” or “new wine” or “drink” or “fresh revelation” by placing their hand on a person’s forehead until a manifestation occurs. This could be shouting or wailing, shaking, or falling flat out, slain in the spirit as they call it. Most people are laughing their heads off while they are being ministered to.

You will also see strange hand movements like wafting, as though the Holy Spirit can be moved by us tangibly waving on the people. This is really a New-Age teaching on manipulating energies, which is clearly not a Biblical phenomenon. Rather, it borders more towards sorcery than anything else.

Drunkenness and bliss bombing is also a common practice. This is when someone is throwing or making the action of a throw onto people who then fall down and roll about as if they’re drunk. They are totally immersed in the activity and cannot be reasoned with. You also see, as I call it, a “spiritual orgy”, where everybody falls over and upon each other in a drunken state, laying hands on each other, as they pray and impart the spirit upon one another. I myself, at one time, when I was involved in this deception, was so “drunk” under this Kundalini spirit that I was not able to walk and drive home. How is this a responsible behavior from a minister, when the Bible says to stay sober and having the Holy Spirit fruit of self-control? (See 1. Peter 5:8 and Galatians 5:22-23) Did Jesus or His disciples ever act like this?   

It is a common practice in these church circles, that people shout at God to declare things over the church or the town or an individual, commanding God’s glory to come down!

You will see weird shaking and involuntary head and body movements. People would do this during other times too, when they are not being ministered to, in response or reaction to just about anything. Some are unaware of doing it, while most are completely unable to stop it from happening.

I remember visiting the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Church in the early nineties during the so-called “Revival Blessing Outpouring”, seeing church leaders and others making animal noises and standing on one leg like a flamingo.

Then you have the “soaking” practice, which is taken from New-Age, where people are laying around in a quiet semi-trance like state, visualizing God, imagining being somewhere or walking with Jesus or looking in His face, trying to find out what He is saying and giving their testimony about their experience later to others.

As we can see, it is NOT the Holy Spirit that people are experiencing, but the Kundalini spirit! The Holy Spirit will NOT lead you away from the truth, that is, away from Jesus Christ who is the Way, Truth and Life! (See John 14:6) The Holy Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what He teaches is true—it is not a lie! (See 1. John 2:27)

THE DEMONIC RESULTS OF THE KUNDALINI SPIRIT

The consequences for those who have been involved with this spirit of Kundalini in the church is that many end up experiencing symptoms like heart problems, pain in head and spine, gastrointestinal disturbances and nervous problems. Internal sensations have been reported as sensations of burning, oversensitivity to sensory input, hyperactivity or lethargy, great variations in sexual desire and even spontaneous orgasm. Symptoms can be erratic, coming and going without provocation, but are generally unresponsive to medical treatment, since it is a spiritual demonic impartation they have received.

They also experience periods of confusion and being unbalanced as they go through an emotional rollercoaster of feelings of anxiety, guilt, and depression and then swing through feelings of compassion, love, and joy, with accompanying bouts of uncontrollable weeping.

Others experience hearing voices, music, inner sounds, or mantras. Some lose a sense of self as a body, or feeling bigger than the body, or out of the body, resulting in being confused and disoriented. Many also suffer from psychosis, mania, depression, schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder. Many people who have these kinds of spiritual demons are often misdiagnosed and treated with suppressive medication, which unfortunately only further complicates their process. 

In these Kundalini influenced churches, many believe their ministers are genuine prophets of God, but they are actually being ministered to by people who have psychic abilities, are telepathic, and have healing abilities.  
  
If you are in one of these churches that are conducting this evil Kundalini practice, I urge you to come out and get yourself into a church or fellowship of sound Bible teaching.

We have to remember what the Bible says, “That God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him! Acts 10:38 NLT

SIGNS OF FALSE PREACHERS WHO TEACH AND PROMOTE MANIFESTATIONS


Jesus warned us that, “False messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones.” Matthew 24:25 NLT

In other words, these false prophets’ purpose is to deceive, if possible even God’s true followers, by causing them to worship manifestations instead of Jesus Christ only! Their mission is to lead them away from a blessed everlasting life in Jesus Christ into curses and defeat!

Even so, many will follow their evil teachings; for instance through their schools of the supernatural where they charge high dollar fees to enroll! (See 2. Peter 2:2)
 
First and foremost, we must understand that these so-called ministers of the Gospel are: “False prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.” Matthew 7:15 NLT

The Bible says that, “When these people eat with you in your fellowship meals commemorating the Lord’s love, they are like dangerous reefs that can shipwreck you. They are like shameless shepherds who care only for themselves.” Jude 1:12 NLT

Yes! These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers, who just like Satan disguise themselves as apostles of Christ meant to destroy you. (See 2. Corinthians 11:13-15)

These false pastors and prophets do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and lying signs and miracles. They will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth! So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth. (See 2. Thessalonians 2:9-12)

We are living in a time, “When people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths.” 2. Timothy 4:3-4 NLT

The Bible clearly teaches that we should, “Not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.” 1. John 4:1 NLT

Jesus said that you can identify these false prophets, “By their fruit, that is, by the way they act.” Matthew 7:16 NLT

HERE ARE SOME SIGNS WHEREBY YOU CAN IDENTIFY THESE FALSE MINISTERS

They preach a different Jesus, a different kind of Spirit and a different kind of gospel! (See 2. Corinthians 11:4)

“They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them.” 2. Peter 2:1 NLT

They will not acknowledge Jesus Christ in all His ways as is written in the Word. (See 1. John 4:2)

They brag loudly about themselves with stories of how God uses them in other countries to heal scores of people and even how they raise people from the death! They love to flatter others with these grandiose miracle tales to get what they want, and that is usually money! (See Jude 1:16)

It is so true what the Bible says that, “In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money.” 2. Peter 2:3 NLT

These false prophets capture you with big words and intellectual double-talk and their prophecies are nothing but high-sounding nonsense that comes from soulish thinking and from the spiritual demonic powers of this world! (See Colossians 2:8)

They love to give themselves special titles as they consider themselves to be “super apostles”, who are the ones who have been appointed and anointed as the leaders of this nation and nations! (See 2. Corinthians 11:5)

These false prophets often claim authority from their dreams. (See Jude 1:8)

They insist that you join them in their obsession with angels, saying they have had visions about these things, even names of angels like Emma, Charles and Irma. (See Colossians 2:18)

These pastors and leaders, “Must be silenced, because they are turning whole families away from the truth by their false teaching. And they do it only for money.” Titus 1:11 NLT

It is these false ministers who would say to Jesus on Judgement Day, “Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.” But Jesus will reply to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who break God’s laws.’ (See Matthew 7:22-23)

The way it is supposed to be is written in the Bible book of Ephesians, where it says that Jesus gave to the church the following gifts: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do His work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.

Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth! (See Ephesians 4:11-16)

WHERE DO WE FIND SUCH A CHURCH NOWADAYS?


Every church that follows Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior is supposed to model herself after the first church from the Bible book of Acts, where the believers “Shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need.” Acts 2:44-45 NLT

“They felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had. There were no needy people among them, because those who owned land or houses would sell them and bring the money to the apostles to give to those in need.” Acts 4:32, 34-35 NLT

It is no wonder that the apostle Paul taught the Corinthian Church this same example of giving and sharing, when he told them the following:

“Give in proportion to what you have. Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you don’t have. Of course, I don’t mean your giving should make life easy for others and hard for yourselves. I only mean that there should be some equality. Right now you have plenty and can help those who are in need. Later, they will have plenty and can share with you when you need it. In this way, things will be equal.” 2. Corinthians 9:11-14 NLT

The rich were specifically being taught not to be proud and not to trust in their money. Their trust should be in God and they should use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others! (See 1. Timothy 6:17-18)  


DOES JESUS WANT YOU TO BE POOR?

Jesus said to a rich man: “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven. Then come, follow Me.” Mark 10:21 NLT

In other words, Jesus was basically telling this young man, ‘become poor and then come and follow Me, be completely dependent on Me and you will experience how I will take care of all your needs!’

That is why Jesus taught: “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.” Matthew 6:33 NLT

And the apostle Paul wrote this: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.” Philippians 4:6-7 NLT

“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

Jesus did not want any of His disciples to be self-sufficient, but for them to trust Him for their daily provision, as Jesus taught them to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Matthew 6:11 NKJV
