A study in similarities? (Todd Bentley and Kundalini )

Very good video series by Final Trumpet on Youtube. Regardless of whether Bentley and crew KNOW what they are doing and where it comes from, the similarities are striking. I have been watching some of the "outpouring" at Lakeland and it simply AMAZES ME how little he actually expounds from the Word of God! Yet, people are so gullible and willing to suspend discernment and follow something so obviously "off kilter". Amazing.

Two Questions: Is Satan Stronger than God? Who are we praying to, Todd, or Our Father in Heaven?

Hey, It is awesome that the stuff going on in Lakeland actually has people all around the globe interacting, and discussing it in light of the Word. There are comparisons being drawn between Todd Bentley and the “manifestions” in the FL Outpouring relative to the Kundalini awakening found in eastern meditation, yoga etc.

Here are some of my thoughts, but mainly just scripture on the topic.
Two Questions: Is Satan Stronger than God? Who are we praying to, Todd, or Our Father in Heaven? The answers to those questions will strike fear in your heart, or bring peace in light of God’s word. Most of these posts seem to imply that Satan can intercept the power of God and replace it with a counterfeit. Remember Moses, Aaron, and the Pharaoh’s Magii. Both could do the same miracle, but in the end, the Kingdom of God eats the Kingdom of Darkness. Be not afraid of the Devil to the extent that you lose your faith in God.
If we are praying to God, then what reason do we have to fear man, or devil?
Luke 11:5-54
9And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Can Satan intercept a prayer, and replace God’s answer with a counterfeit?
Luke 11:47
47Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Luke 11:52-54
52Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
53And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
I see this all as a heart issue. Who are we praying to? Are we seeking truth? Are we acting out of love, or out of fear?
Todd Bentley will answer to God, just like I will, just like you will. But if we go to a service and regardless of who is speaking we are compelled to seek God’s face, repent, turn from our sin, and run deeper into the arms of our loving Father then nothing can separate us from the love of God.
I invite the input of anyone who reads this. I seek truth.
Keep the Flame!

Timothy,
I'm not sure your point is relevant. Of course, as believers we are praying to God. However, while you are quoting scriptures, i invite you to recall that the scripture ALSO tells us that the time will come when men would not endure sound doctrine but rather would heap up for themselves teachers after their itching ears.
The spirit speaks expressly that in latter times many would depart from the faith and give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.

While it is good to "just pray" or whatever you're suggesting. I suggest you familiarize yourself with the scriptures warning of endtimes apostasy and deception that would be so convincing it would ALMOST deceive the very elect if that were possible. (although the shenanigans of Todd Bentley really aren't that convincing except to the gullible.)
