The Final Countdown – Rise of Apostasy

Part 5

“First of all it began last week when Kenny came into the office and he had

two burnt ears, yeah real bad, and I asked him what happened, and he said,

“The phone rang, and I accidentally picked up the iron.”

And I said, “What about the other one?” And Kenny said, “They called

back.”

And then it was Thanksgiving last week so Lori asked Kenny to pick up a

frozen turkey at the grocery store. But he couldn’t find one big enough for

the family, so he asked a stock boy, “Do these turkeys get any bigger?”

And the stock boy looked at him and replied, “No sir, they’re dead.”

And then after Thanksgiving it was Black Friday and Al was driving out by

the shopping mall and he saw Kenny lying there on the sidewalk outside,

right next to this beauty parlor. And so Al gets out and asks Kenny, “What in

the world happened to you?”

And Kenny shook his head and rubbed his chin and said, “Well, the last

thing I remember Lori was coming out of the beauty parlor and I took one

look at her and said, ‘Well, honey…at least you tried.’”

And so Kenny obviously got in trouble so he decided to score some points

with Lori so he takes her to this fancy Italian restaurant here in Vegas…

And being a Chef himself he’s acting pretty suave trying to impress Lori, so

he picks up the menu and said to the waiter, “We’ll have the Giuseppe

Spomdalucci.” And the waiter said, “I’m sorry, sir. That’s the owner.”

And so that night, just when you thought things couldn’t get even worse,

Kenny was in the bedroom watching Lori putting on cold cream on her face

and he asked her, “What are you doing that for?”

And Lori responded, “To make myself beautiful,” and then she proceeded to

remove the cream with a tissue. And that’s when Kenny said, “What’s the

matter? Giving up?”

2

And now you know why I visited Kenny in the hospital! But seriously

folks, how many of you guys would say that was a rough week for Kenny,

you know what I’m saying? Man! Nothing was going right for him! But

seriously folks, did you know the Bible says there’s a week coming to the

whole planet that’s even worse than that one? It’s Daniel’s 70th Week called

the 7-year Tribulation and it all begins at the rapture of the Church! And the

reason why it’s going to be such a horrible time-frame is because for those

who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as their Personal Lord and Savior, they

will be catapulted into the 7-year Tribulation and it’s not a joke! It’s an

outpouring of God’s wrath on a wicked and rebellious planet. In fact Jesus

said in Matthew 24 it’s going to be a “time of greater horror than anything

the world has ever seen or will ever see again. And that “unless that time of

calamity is shortened, the entire human race will be destroyed.” But praise

God, God’s not only a God of wrath, He’s a God of love as well. And

because He loves you and I, He’s given us many warning signs to show us

when the Tribulation was near and when Jesus Christ’s 2nd Coming was

rapidly approaching.

Therefore, in order to keep you and I from experiencing the ultimate

bad day of being left behind, even worse than Kenny’s day, we’re going to

continue in our series The Final Countdown. And so far we’ve already seen

3

how the #10 sign on The Final Countdown was The Jewish People. The

#9 sign was Modern Technology. The #8 sign was Worldwide Upheaval.

The #7 sign was The Rise of Falsehood. The #6 sign was The Rise of

Wickedness. And the last 4 times we saw how the #5 sign was The Rise of

Apostasy. And what we saw there was that God lovingly foretold you and I

that when we see not only the world going down the tubes, but even the

Church going down the tubes, which is happening right now today all over

the world, thanks in part to a massive Flooding of Phony Baloney

Believers in the Church, a massive Flooding of Greedy Believers in the

Church, and the last two times, a massive Flooding of Worldly Believers in

the Church. And we saw it was being caused by the lies of The Church

Growth Movement that tells us we need to only Focus on Numerical

Growth instead of Spiritual Growth, Cultural Music instead of Christ-

Like Music, Fluffy Teachings instead of Godly Teachings and a

Powerless Gospel instead of the One and Only True Gospel. Why?

Because as we saw the rationale is that the world will feel comfortable and if

they feel comfortable they’ll stick around and our attendance will go through

the roof! Isn’t that awesome? Isn’t that a successful Church? No! Not at all!

It’s causing a growth alright, it’s causing a growth of worldliness &

4

Apostasy in the Church, exactly like the Bible said would happen in when

you are living in the Last Days.

But that’s still not all. The 4th reason people in the Church have

abandoned the Christian faith, and Apostacized is due to A Flood of

Occultic Believers. That’s right, I’m talking about the Signs and Wonders

Movement. Little do people know that the teachings of the Signs and

Wonders Movement have actually aided in this massive rise of apostasy.

Today, people in the Church are being led astray by emotional spiritual

manipulation and it’s actually helping them to worship the antichrist! But

don’t take my word for it. Let’s listen to God’s.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-10 “Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ

and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, not to become easily

unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have

come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let

anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion

occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to

destruction.

He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is

worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself

to be God. Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you

these things? And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may

be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already

at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is

taken out of the way.

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will

overthrow with the breath of His mouth and destroy by the splendor of His

coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work

of satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,

5

and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish

because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.”

Now folks according to our text, the Bible clearly says that when the

antichrist himself is revealed, he’s going to do so with false counterfeit

signs, wonders, and miracles, right? And it’s not only going to be satanically

inspired and empowered but it’s going to deceive people who specifically

refuse to love God’s truth, i.e., those who are not Christians, they still need

to be saved! Now here’s my point. Man! Good thing we don’t see any signs

of that happening any time soon, people turning away from God’s truth and

instead loving and following counterfeit miracles, signs, and wonders. Folks,

are you kidding me? It’s happening before our very eyes! And it’s even

called that! The Signs and Wonders Movement! And little do people realize

it’s setting them up to worship the actual antichrist!

And the 1st way it’s doing that, even in the Church, is by getting

people to Follow a Different Spirit than the Spirit of God. And that

different “spirit” is called emotions! But shocker! That’s not what the Bible

says we need to be following! Here’s what we need to be following.

Psalm 19:7-8 “The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The

decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The

commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart.”

Now folks, according to our text, if you want to bring joy to your

heart, and if you want to experience true revival in your soul, and if you

6

want to become wise and not fall for all the deception out there, what do

you do? You fall in love with the Word of God, right? It says it right there!

You delight in it. You seek it. You immerse yourself into that and whew!

Life is good, right? Not anymore! Haven’t you heard? Apparently God’s

Word’s is old hat. It’s old-fashioned and it’s not good enough anymore. We

need something new and improved in these Last Days to make us alive in

the Church! And that something new and improved is called The Signs and

Wonders Movement! And what they would have you and I believe is that in

order to be a true spiritual Christian, in these Last Days, that we need to

seek an experience with God, an emotional encounter instead of becoming

a student of God’s Word. Why? Because put yourself in the antichrist’s

shoes! He’s not stupid! He knows he can’t fool people when he shows up on

the scene with all these false lying signs, wonders, and miracles if they know

the Word of God. That Book is the Truth! You can’t be steered wrong by the

Word of God AND it exposes his lies! It shows us step by step what he’s

going to do in the Last Days. So here’s what does. He gets people, even in

the Church, to put down the Word of God and seek a so-called experience

with God. Why? Because once you go after emotions, you can be duped!

Emotions are deceptive, feelings are deceptive, but not the Word of God!

7

And folks I’ll state it on record that I don’t have a problem with

having an emotional encounter with God. I’m very passionate when I

preach as you know and sometimes in prayer I’m balling my eyes out like a

little baby! I love this intimate walk with the Creator of the Universe and I

wouldn’t exchange it for anything. But that’s not what’s going on here folks.

These emotional encounters that The Signs and Wonders Movement are

promoting in the Church are not genuine. They’re counterfeit! Things like

ecstatic speech, barking like dogs, having convulsions, or even

uncontrollable laughter, in Church services are now supposed to be the new

signs of true spiritual maturity and a genuine encounter with God. Don’t

believe me? Let’s take a look at what’s going on in the American Church

and you tell me if people aren’t being deceived!

The Holy Ghost Hokey Pokey Church: If you not only want some good

ol’ fashioned entertainment at your next Church service, but a free healing to

boot, you can attend this Church and join them in a “new” movement of God

called the Holy Ghost Hokey Pokey.

Rick Joyner’s Morningstar Church”

Three weeks ago we did a Friday night School of Spirit and we saw 12

people healed by Word of Knowledge and 40 healed during the holy ghost

hokey pokey. Let’s just go ahead and do that and see what the Lord does.

You guys okay to do the holy ghost hokey pokey? Can you lead it?

Alright, Brian is gonna lead us in the holy ghost hokey pokey.

Brian singing: Put your right hand in, put your right hand out. You put your

right hand in you put your right hand out. You put your right hand in and

8

you put your right hand out. You put it in and you shake it and you shake it

all about. You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out...

Guy from the audience: When I started doing the hokey pokey at first with

the arms and I thought not the real effect but then when I started doing the

whole movement put your left foot in, your right foot in both of my knees-

you know one at a time all of a sudden there was like no pain.

The Can Can Dance Church: One Church service included a lady who

said the Spirit of God gave her the “Left Leg Anointing”. Suddenly she

kicks up her left leg (like the “Can Can” dance), and says, “More Jesus”,

whereupon people are supposedly slain in the Spirit in the direction of her

kick. Then she proceeded to take the Lord’s name in vain saying, “Oh my

God, Oh my God, Oh my God”, which she later changes to “Oh my

goodness.”

The Hiss Like a Snake Church: Another Church service included the so-

called minister hissing like a serpent and sticking his tongue out grunting

loudly as he walked through the crowd. And all the while in the background

people are yelling, screaming and making animal sounds.

The Squeal Like a Pig Church: Go to this service and you would have

heard the sounds of pigs squealing and while people are dancing a jig.

The Moo Like a Cow Church: Or go to another service and you’d see a

lady “mooing” like a cow with two so-called ministers rolling around on the

floor beside her.

The Baa Like a Sheep Church: Or go to this service and you join these

folks “baaing” like a sheep.

The Bark Like a Dog Church: Or for those of you “canine” lovers out

there, maybe you can go to this service and join everyone in barking like

dogs. That’s right…Who let the dogs out!

The Roar Like a Lion Church: Or if a dog bark isn’t loud enough for you,

you can go to this Church service whereupon you will be encouraged to roar

like a lion.

9

The Cluck Like a Chicken Church: Believe it or not you can go to a

Church service where the so-called minister doesn’t preach another boring

sermon from the Bible. No! He stands around clucking like a chicken! And

for those of you who don’t believe me, lets watch this short video clip.

John Scotland:

Okay now before we take our...you know-uh-before we go surfing…let’s get

the reading done. (sways as if drunk) Luke..LUKE!!! (starts laughing)

Chapter TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I’ll tell ya what let’s look at chapter one verse...verse...verse....

COCKADOODLE DOOOOOOOOO!!!!

(church audience laughing uncontrollably)

Matthias was a member of the abbey (makes another loud animal sound then

crows like a rooster a second and third time)

The Toking the Holy Ghost Church: If animal noises just aren’t your thing

and you really want that “spiritual high,” then look no further than these

Churches who encourage you toke the Holy Ghost. Check it out for yourself!

Brandon Barthrop, John Crowder, Stacey Denboer and friends:

Brandon Barthrop: “What is tokin’ the ghost? This is tokin’ the ghost.”

(motions like he just took a hit from a joint)

“Tokin’ the ghost is simply putting your fingers together in the form of

smoking a joint, but instead of smoking and illegal substance that’s harmful

for the body, you are inhaling the holy ghost with the access point of putting

your fingers together and looking like your smoking a marijuana cigarette

but in fact you are receiving impartation from almighty god. I challenge you

today that tokin’ the ghost is an idea from the holy ghost to disturb the

religious strongholds, to disturb religious demons, to destroy religious spirits

from hell and get the church into the freedom and laws of liberty in Christ

Jesus so that you may…two things…glorify God and enjoy Him.”

Man next to Crowder: “We’re at Springs of Living Water Church in Fargo,

10

North Dakota and I’m here with John Crowder.”

John Crowder: “I firmly believe in tokin’ the ghost. Have a little

jehovahjuana.”

Man standing next to crowder: laughing hysterically

John Crowder: “The great thing-it’s free. You just reach in your pocket.

Wow! Look what’s there!”

(pretends to hold a joint)

“You just take a little...(puts fingers to mouth and pretends to inhale)

“Take a little whiff of the glor-y and then quick exhale. I’m just going to

give you a little second hand-right through the video screen alright? Time

and space are not an issue. This is a heavenly realm alright? See this access

point right here”

(motions like he took another hit then motions like he’s blowing smoke into

the camera)

“Oy yoi yoi yoi”

Man: “There’s no high like the most high”

-----------------------------------------

Stacy DenBoer: ”Hello out there in internet land. I was just gonna…I was

just gonna take a big ol’ glory injection off my baby Jesus. I just took my

baby Jesus and strapped him to…ah…um a syringe and I’m just gonna take

a glory injection into my veins on the mainline. Get some of that big heavy,

liquid heavy, weighty shoobie boobie juice just pumping through my veins

from heaven. So here I go.”

(raises arm put “baby Jesus syringe” up to his arm, makes motion of giving

himself an “injection”)

Then states, “Shingy boing boing ding ding ding.”

11

Now folks, I don’t think Jesus came all the way from heaven to die a

horrible death on the cross just so we can walk around clucking like

chickens or smoking a so-called Holy Spirit joint, you know what I’m

saying? You talk about blasphemy! And oh yeah, I don’t doubt your having

an experience but it’s not from God! I think it’s from the antichrist! Why?

To prepare your heart to worship him! He knows if you stick to the Word of

God instead of that baloney that he can’t fool you! But now that he’s got you

barking like a dog, roaring like a lion, and heaven forbid clucking like a

chicken man you’re ripe for the picking! He’s got you! You’re seeking

emotions over God, you’re following a different spirit, and now you’re set

up for the Last Days where he’ll give you an experience alright, it’s called

lying counterfeit signs, wonders, and miracles. And we now have a whole

new generation people, even in the Church who are ready to receive it!

Exactly like the Bible said would happen, when you are living in the Last

Days!

But that’s not all. The 2nd way people are being deceived into

worshiping the antichrist in the Last Days, even in the Church, is by

Linking Themselves to a Different Spirit than the Spirit of God.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 “For such men are false apostles, deceitful

workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for satan

himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his

servants masquerade as servants of righteousness.”

12

Now folks, according to our text, if there’s one thing the Bible is clear

about, it’s that satan doesn’t always appear on the scene as some horrible

looking creature with horns and demon breath, right? What’d it say there?

Sometimes he’ll show up as an angel of light, which means it won’t be

freaky at all! It’s going to be fabulous! You’re emotions are going to be so

full of bliss and love and so surely it’s got to be an angel of God, right? No!

That’s part of satan’s deceptive character. And so here’s the point. Surely we

wouldn’t fall for that ol’ trick in the Church, would we? I mean, surely we

wouldn’t link ourselves to a different spirit just because it felt right, would

we? Not anymore! Folks, haven’t you heard! True spiritual Christians in

these Last Days are not only those that can have an emotional encounter

with God, but those that can express their emotions with God! You know,

let it all hang out! Jump and scream and shout and dance and go crazy and

wild!

And folks, again, I’ll state it on record. I don’t have a problem with

showing emotions at a Church service! Although if Kenny got up here and

started rolling on the floor, we’d have to lay hands on him. He’d have an

even worse week! No seriously, I do not believe that clapping is illegal nor

that raising your hands is inviting the judgment of God! Although I do

wonder sometimes if we’re ever going to be able to clap on time this side of

13

heaven! But that’s another point! But seriously folks, that’s not what’s going

on here. These expressive emotional encounters that The Signs and

Wonders Movement are encouraging people to do in the Church are not

genuine. They’re counterfeit. Little do people realize that they are being

duped into getting worked up into an altered state of consciousness, in the

Church, by this behavior, to link themselves up to a different spirit, rather

than Spirit of God! Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look at this process of

behavioral manipulation by the occult, to get people into an altered state of

consciousness with their behavior, and you tell me there isn’t some parallels.

Kundalini Awakening - Dynamic Meditation:

“During these sessions its a very strange environment. People speak in

tongues, they yell and they scream, they talk in foreign languages. It’s like a

madhouse, it’s real crazy. Everyone bounces around on foam pads flying up

in the air.”

Telly Savalas: Rajneesh is one of India’s most controversial gurus. Largely

because of his endorsement of shocking sexual practices as a prerequisite for

“salvation”

Rajneeshpuram Oregon, U.S.A

(Room full of people wildly jumping up and down to sound of drums)

His brand of yoga called dynamic meditation is a new age combination of

Hinduism and psychotherapies. This exercise involving rigorous breathing

and hyperventilation is designed to arouse the serpent force called

kundalini, which the gurus believe lie coiled at the base of the spine.

(people are now screaming and yelling at the top of their lungs)

Woman speaking: The next phase, the screaming phase of dynamic

14

meditation feels like when you finally have an opportunity to throw a

tantrum when you were a little kid. By the time you get to the third phase of

jumping up and down and yelling “who”, you’re hardly “there” at all. So it’s

pretty hard to remember what happens when you’re there. I guess the closest

thing I can associate with it is mindlessness. You get to a place where your

mind actually leaves your body. Your body is just jumping up and down and

the voice from your gut is yelling “who” and you’re not doing it anymore.

You become one with this whole energy. The next phase in dynamic

meditation is the quiet space. Someone yells “STOP!” and you’ve just been

doing 30 minutes of intense catharsis and what happens after being in such

incredibly intense movement for so long, is such a feeling of peacefulness

and stillness. My mind actually stops and I feel a oneness with the whole

universe.”

Now folks, as creepy as that is was, it gets worse. It’s one thing for

people to do that and fall for that, getting worked up into a frenzy to get

yourself into an altered state of consciousness, but believe it or not, the

enemy has “repackaged” this mind altering occult technique to the American

Church and simply calls it being Charismatic. Don’t believe me? Check out

this parallel of behavior between what you just saw, and some of the so-

called Church services in the American Church and you tell me if there’s not

a direct connection.

The Four Phases of an Altered State Consciousness

FIRST PHASE: The Hindu followers first began with a form of “repetitive

movement” combined with “music” for an extended period of time.

Some Church services today include people “repeatedly” running around,

jumping up and down, swaying back and forth, etc. to the beat of so-called

“worship” music.

15

SECOND PHASE: The Hindu followers then started to speak forth a

“repetitive phrase” or “mantra” over and over again until it became

mindless.

Some Church services today include people speaking forth a “repetitive

phrase” or a so-called “unknown language” over and over again.

THIRD PHASE: The Hindu followers then started to “shout repeatedly”

over and over again as a way of further “releasing” themselves from reality.

Some Church services today include people “shouting, yelling, screaming”

over and over again in order to “let it all hang out” in their so-called

“worship” of God.

FOURTH PHASE: The Hindu followers finished this occultic mind altering

procedure with a sudden ceasing of all activity so as to “feel” a connection

with the universe or spirit world.

Some Church services today include people being requested (after a

prolonged period of repetitive movement, repetitive speaking, repetitive

shouting) to then be completely still and silent so as to “feel” the so-called

presence of the Holy Spirit.

Folks, maybe it’s just me, but I think somebody’s masquerading as an

angel of light here, you know what I’m saying? I mean, there’s no doubt

these people are having an “experience” even in the Church but that

doesn’t mean it’s coming from God! And for those of you who think they’ll

never get you! Why, you’re a conservative! You’ll never clap your hands let

alone raise your hands at a Church service! They’ll never get you! Really?

Well, they may already have. Do you Yoga? It does the exact same thing!

But don’t take my word for it. Let’s listen to these Yoga Masters. At least

they’re honest enough to admit it!

16

Caryl Matriciana - Yoga Uncoiled:

Caryl: Recently, I returned to India and had the opportunity to interview

yogis who train their followers through various physical and mental

exercises and I questioned them about yogas transformation. I also asked

Indian experts if the practice of yoga consciousness could be separated from

it’s eastern spirituality and used as physical fitness only.

Dr George Alexander, Associate Professor. Author of Yoga: The Truth

Behind the Posture

Dr. Alexander: Today in the West, about 35 million Americans are into

yoga, just seeing yoga as physical fitness. Yoga is a Hindu word. Yoga is a

hindu discipline, to become ‘one’ with the universal consciousness, which

means become one with god-which god? Brahma, the Hindu god.

Dr Victor Choudhrie, a leading cancer surgeon in India is also a well know

lecturer and author of many books.

Dr Choudrie: The word yoga, in Hindu language means union. As simple as

that. And the purpose of this union is they think there is a powerful

kundalini in their spine, in the base of their spine which is a kind of coiled

serpent and the idea is when this union takes place-this serpent is uncoiled

and travels into their minds and releases the “third eye”. The “third eye”

means the Shiva idea, the god Shiva.

Dr. Alexander: In Hinduism, the serpent is a prominent deity or many people

worship serpents. I have seen many snake temples or serpent temples in

India. If you look at the picture or lord Shiva in Hinduism, you see a snake

wrapped around his neck. They believe that the serpent power is in every

person and the serpent power is sleeping in you. By practicing yoga-they

awake that kundalini power in you. Actually kundalini is the name for a

cobra, so when the kundalini power is awakened that goes up to the brain

and awakened the psychic power.

Dr. Choudhrie: When the spirit of kundalini is uncoiled-there is a movement

of body serpent-like movements.

I don’t think we can separate yoga-the practice of yoga from the spiritual

into just a form of exercise because every form of the yoga movement

17

derives from the serpent and there’s a root behind it so when a person

practices yoga he’s actually bowing down to the god of the serpent.

Caryl Matriciana: In most cultures, the serpent is seen as a positive creature

and worshipped for it’s wisdom. Only in the Bible is the serpent described as

the Creator God’s enemy. A usurper who wishes to take God’s rightful place

in the mind of mankind. In Hinduism he is called the kundalini and believed

to be able to be awakened through yoga meditation and grant the practitioner

and awareness of god. A stillness. A god-conciousness.”

Now folks, I don’t know about you, but I’d say somebody’s being

prepared to receive the antichrist, you know what I’m saying? It’s like

somebody’s masquerading as an angel of light or something….hmmm. And

folks, to show you just how deep this deception goes, even in the Church, we

now have Church services that not only practice Yoga, but they have the

audacity call it “Holy Yoga.” And on their website they say their whole

purpose to promote this in the Church is to quote, “Deepen people’s

connection to Christ.” Really? Which Christ? The antichrist??? And you

need to know that it’s not only gaining popularity all across America, but it’s

growing like wildfire in the Church. In fact, one report said, “Yoga followers

have tripled from what it was just 15 years ago!

Gee, if I didn’t know better I’d say somebody’s tricking us into

linking ourselves with a different spirit other that the Spirit of God, how

about you? And you know why? Because the Bible says in the Last Days the

actual antichrist is going to appear on the scene and spiritually link people to

18

him with lying false counterfeit signs, wonders, and miracles. And speaking

of wonders, we now have a whole new generation people, even in the

Church who are ready to do just that! Exactly like the Bible said would

happen, when you are living in the Last Days!

But that’s not all. The 3rd way people are being deceived into

worshiping the antichrist in the Last Days, even in the Church, is by

Possessing Themselves with a Different Spirit than the Spirit of God.

1 John 4:1-3 “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to

see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out

into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit

that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but

every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the

spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is

already in the world.”

Now folks, the Bible clearly says that not every spiritual encounter

you have is from God, right? Why? Because there’s counterfeits out there,

and they’re being promoted by false prophets and the spirit of the antichrist,

which is already at work in the world, right? And so John says, man, you

better put these so-called spirits to the test, because the last thing you’d ever

want to do is to be led astray let alone possessed by a different spirit that the

Spirit of God, right? And by the way, a Christian cannot be possessed by

another spirit other than the Spirit of God. SO if a person is being possessed

by another spirit, they’re not a Christian! So let’s do that! Let’s put these so-

19

called spiritual encounters that The Signs and Wonders Movement are

encouraging people to do in the Church to the test. Let’s see if this is truly a

work of God or just another satanic counterfeit.

SIGNS & WONDERS vs. OCCULT

Signs & Wonders Hindu Gurus Meditation African Spiritism

Folks, maybe it’s just me, but apparently this kind of behavior from

The Signs and Wonders Movement isn’t so “new and improved” after all.

Looks to me like the occult’s been doing the exact same thing for a long

time now. And once again, I don’t doubt that you’re having a “spiritual

experience.” But when you put it to the test like the Bible tells us to, I don’t

see it as being consistent with the Spirit of God. So the question is, “What

does this full-blown possession of another spirit other than the Spirit of God

look like today, even in the Church? Well, thanks for asking. I think it looks

like this. Let’s take a look.

Andrew Strom - Kundalini Warning:

“I want to show you some of the shocking things and just how similar they

are to the kundalini cults of Hinduism and the new age movement, eastern

religions. The stuff that has been invading in the last 16-17 years, I believe

that it’s the worst invasion in church history.

What became known as the “Toronto Blessing” went worldwide under that

name-the Toronto Blessing-everybody knew what that was about. People

falling down and acting drunken, laughing hysterically, shaking

uncontrollably or jerking backwards and forwards, their heads shaking back

and forth. People even roaring like lions, people making animal noises. You

know this stuff had not been seen in the church, I mean in a tiny way on the

fringes but this stuff had not been seen in the church on this scale before and

it invaded worldwide.

So all around the world, especially in the commonwealth countries,

especially England and all through the U.K., Australia, New Zealand,

Canada and many other nations all over the world, all through Europe all of

the charismatic movement was into this stuff for the large part and so this

thing became a worldwide sensation in just a couple of years.

Now the basic question we’re asking in this documentary is why are these

manifestations so similar to Eastern religions and Hinduism and the

kundalini cults and yet they’re no found in scripture, they’re not found in the

Bible, they’re not found in classical Christianity at all. Of course in

Hinduism one of the most common ways of experiencing a kundalini

awakening is through a guru placing his hand upon your forehead. This is

called Shakti-Pat and when they do that you’ll become infused with this

incredible love and this wave of emotion, you’ll fall down. There will be

manifestations, making animal noises, joy and weeping and shaking. This is

a kundalini awakening and amazingly it is exactly the same as we have been

seeing in the Toronto Blessing.

Now one of the very clearest signs of a kundalini awakening has always

been these kryias. You see this woman involved in the new age movement,

she’s walking along exhibiting these kryias happening, involuntary jerking

motions and the staggering thing about it is that we are seeing again and

again and again these exact same type of kryias right through the Toronto

Movement. This has always been one of the clearest signs of kundalini that

21

we know of.

A friend of mine from South Africa has done a tremendous amount of

research on this topic. He says that kundalini is like a false Holy Spirit. It

produces even miracles and healings, infusions of love, and power and

energy and emotion and all these kind of things and yet it’s the Hindu

version of the Holy Spirit and it’s not holy.”

Folks, if I didn’t know better I’d say somebody’s tricking us into

possessing ourselves with a different spirit other that the Spirit of God, how

about you? And you know why? Because the Bible says in the Last Days the

actual antichrist is going to appear on the scene and spiritually possess

people with lying false counterfeit signs, wonders, and miracles. And we

now just happen to have a whole new generation of people, even in the

Church, who are ready to do just that! Not Christians. But people who go to

Church services. Just like the Bible said would happen, when you are living

in the Last Days!

Folks, are we getting close or what? What more does God have to do?

He loves us. He doesn’t want us going into the 7-year Tribulation! And this

is why, out of love, He’s given us the signs of the Rise of Apostasy to show

us that the Tribulation is near and the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ is rapidly

approaching. And that’s why Jesus Himself said:

Luke 21:28 “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up

your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

22

People, like it or not, we are headed for The Final Countdown. And

so the point is this. If you’re a Christian here today it’s time to get busy!

We’ve got to lay aside our differences, stop fighting, get busy working

together saving souls, amen? But if you’re here today and you’re not a

Christian, then I beg you, please, heed the signs…heed the warnings…give

your life to the real Jesus today…because tomorrow may be too late.

Amen?
