When I was given a vision of the Lakeland Outpouring; and the warning the Lord Jesus gave me; he also told me at that time that Bentley would be back, even after he was exposed. This article confirms what was spoken to me at that time. I've reposted the vision I gave to my pastor; which I had added here when the Outpouring was going on.
Please; I pray all who read this will warn anyone who is tempted to get involved with him again; WARN THEM TO FLEE FROM THIS DECEPTION. Turn to the Word of God, and heed it. My heart is very grieved over this.

KUNDALINI WARNING - Urgent
-by Andrew Strom
www.revivalschool.com 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?
Below is the prhophetic dream given to me concerning the Outpouring and Bentley:
6/ 2008 Pastor Larry,
Last Thursday night, the Lord gave me a vision and a prophetic message; and has asked me to share it with you. I've been very reluctant, because of the gravity of it. It made me sick to my stomach for several days, and my heart is like lead. I've prayed about this and checked it with all the knowledge, scriptures, and discernment I can think of; I'm sure I've heard correctly, but it is very hard to do this. I pray the Lord will show you His heart in this.
In the vision, I was taken up into space; and looking down on the globe of the earth, I saw a funnel cloud form from about the center of Florida. It grew, and grew untill it went up to the heavens, and was enormous. Then, it slowly started to move; still growing as it went. It continued to move slowly, weaving back and forth, consuming everything in it's path; untill it had circled the globe. Then I saw smaller funnel clouds being birthed from this first one; and doing the same thing; growing and growing and beginning to move these funnels moved in a rythem together and I knew as I watched that they were the "children" of the first vortex. Then, my eyes became like telescopes; and I could see great details within these funnels even from where I was. I saw multitudes of people being sucked into them; and falling headlong into the center; as they fell they became aware of the trap they were in and started screaming for help; but it was too late, and they were sucked into the bottom....and disappearred. I perceived it was like being drawn into a black hole, once your in; there is no way out. There were millions upon millions being sucked in, never to be seen again.
As I watched in horror; I cried to the Lord, "What is this; what are you showing me; and why?"
This is the answer I received.
"This main huge funnel, is the "Lakeland Outpouring", of Todd Bentley's crusades, and his doctrine. This is only the beginning; and it will grow to cover the world. He will not receive any correction, and he will infect the entire Body of Christ, worldwide. Every denomination, and every church on the globe will be affected by this ministry.
Even after he is exposed; the church will condone him, and he will return in ministry again."
Then, I was given this prophetic message:
"Now the doors of darkness are open even wider; and My Body is given over to the ways of Eli, and his sons. Todd Bentley is igniting his own strange fire; is being endorsed by the leadership behind him, and anyone who has tried to correct him has been dismissed, and rejected. He, and those who follow him are saying:
"Tickle me, tell me I'm ok, do not show me my sin, don't tell me I must change my behaviour and my ways. Let me worship you; as I remain the same, don't show me where I need to align myself with the Word of God.
It is a day now when only those who will go deep into my Word, and prayer that will be protected as this vortex of evil swarms over the land; and consumes many in it's path.
For those who want to worship the God of their own imaginations; they will be sucked in; and there will be no way out. They are making their choices; and I am making Mine.
I am calling out to those who will hear "who will say as Joshua; as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
This is the beginning of the "great falling away", and as I have said "even the elect will be deceived."
Whoever chooses this strange fire, will be allowed to; and ultimately destroyed. I will cleanse My House. I'm coming for a bride without spot or wrinkle."
I've wept bitter tears over this vision and message. My heart is like lead. But, I know the Lord wants you to know what is coming; and be prepared for it.
My prayer concerning this is this:
Father;
Tonight, laying on my bed; unable to sleep; You are on my mind.
As I ponder the conditions of the world; and it's woes, I wonder; what is on Your mind, and on Your heart tonight.
How sad you must be; to see the magnificent world you created, and us, your people; who were created a little lower than the angels, but satisfied with the base things of earth. How this world struggles in sin; and reaps the consequences of it. And, Your Christ by the vast majority; rejected, just as when he walked among us.
My heart and mind longs for Your courts Lord; where righteousness reigns, and nothing can pervert or disturb that perfect realm.
I will praise the Lord; while I have any being, and look unto the heavens; whence comes my help.
As Simeon long ago; as he beheld his Savior in his arms; my heart cries with him: "Now, Lord: Let your servant go in peace.
