Revival Spirits from Eastern Religions

From Unleavened Bread Ministries

Hinduism’s Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga adherents are recognizing the manifestations of Toronto/Brownsville/Lakeland “Revivals” as those of the Kundalini serpent rising through the chakras to the mind in these people.  This is none other than possession by the New Age Eastern spirits.  Bible respecters know that these manifestations are not the experiences or demonstrations of our spiritual forefathers.  In the chart below the “Revival” manifestations on the left are taken from observations and testimonies of the false revivals. The Kundalini Yoga manifestations on the right are taken directly from a Kundalini website and www.gospelassemblyfree.com and users.stargate.net/~ejt

These Kundalini spirits and other spirits of eastern religions have sought to enter many revivals.  In some cases the discernment of the leaders saved them. Jessie Penn-Lewis gives a report of this spirit in the Wales revival:

 

“The counterfeit of the Presence of God is mainly felt upon the body, and by the physical senses, in conscious ‘fire,’ ‘thrills,’ etc. The counterfeit of the ‘Presence’ in the atmosphere is felt by the senses of the body, as ‘breath,’ ‘wind,’ etc., whilst the mind is passive or inactive. The person affected by this counterfeit will be moved almost automatically to actions he would not perform of his own will, and with all his faculties in operation. He may not even remember what he has done under the ‘power’ of this ‘presence.'” Jessie-Penn Lewis, War On the Saints, page. 153

 

“But another man had the same impulse, and fell down groaning and roaring, beating the floor with his hands and feet, and the demon entered into him as the angel of light, and got him to think that his conduct was of the Holy Ghost, and it became a regular habit in the meetings he attended. . .” War on the Saints pg. 150

 

“Nothing supernatural should be felt by the senses, but by the spirit. . .Counterfeits of today are generally wrought upon the soulish – or sense life – of believers who have not learnt to distinguish between soul and spirit.” Jessie Penn Lewis, The Spiritual Warfare, pgs. 16-17
