Weird crazy manifestations. Is this demonic? Is this spirit of Kundalini? Is this flesh?
What about people falling? What about people laughing, twitching and shaking? I want to answer
some of that from some of the scriptures. First and foremost we must understand is
that I like what Dr Michael Brown said. He says: The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the trinity
and the Bible tells us not to grieve the Holy Spirit but it also tells us not to quench the
Holy Spirit. When you disobey His promptings you will grieve Him. But when you quench,
when you try to restrict and fear His manifestations you can quench the Holy
Spirit. And sadly many people focus so much on the fake manifestations instead of desiring the real,
the Holy Spirit. They study the fake in trying to prevent the real, nobody does that in the
real world. You don't study the fake dollar to learn the value of the real dollar. Typically
you would study the real one to discern where the fake is. For everything that God does satan always
has a counterfeit. Satan has a fake version of it. For God's real prophet satan has false prophets.
Satan takes and twists the scripture. Satan takes and twists the creation of God. He's a great
duplicator. He's not a creator. So we shouldn't be surprised that satan will twist and create
certain manifestations that will masquerade his power and his deception in this present age. But
before we go any further I want to just highlight few manifestations in the Bible that are mentioned
that are of the Holy Spirit, that you might not see these manifestations in your church, you might
not feel comfortable with these manifestations but they are mentioned. For example one of them
is falling under the power. Is it biblical? We see John fell in the presence of Jesus.
Revelation 1:17. As well as disciples in Matthew 17:6. As well as soldiers in John chapter 18:16
and Paul in Acts chapter 9:4 and 8. Daniel fell unconscious with having no strength to get up.
Daniel 8:7-18 and Daniel 10:8-17. The second experience is the feeling of weightiness or
heaviness. The Hebrew word for kavod means the weight or the heaviness of God. This was seen
when Solomon dedicated the temple and the people saw the glory cloud and it was so tangible that
the priests could not continue ministering in the temple. 2 Chronicles 5:13 all the way to verse 15.
As well as 2 Chronicles 7:1-2. The glory of God filled the temple and the priests could not enter
the house of God because the glory of God had filled the Lord's house. Sometimes in the presence
of God He fills you so powerfully that honestly you feel this weightiness and this heaviness. Not
like a spirit of heaviness but this glory of God that fills you and that's normal,
it's mentioned in the Bible. Number three is the laughter of joy. The fruit of the Holy
Spirit is joy and the fruit of joy is laughter. In Luke 10:21 Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit. Paul
says to rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 1 Peter 1:8. In Psalm 126:2-3
it speaks that our mouth are being filled with laughter and our tongue with singing and what
God does. And so what happens sometimes is that people can experience a supernatural joy that
will come into their life. Now I personally think a lot of what's happening is already rehearsed and
it's like they're mimicking the experience that they had before but I've seen this. It didn't
happen to me but I've seen this. Where a person a very close relative of mine who does not,
who is not that kind of a person who experiences these things, experienced this for a few days at
the spiritual laughter. And then you know she was relieved of the stress and the
depression that she was going through. And so it can happen and we should be very careful to try
to judge everything and simply say, well this is demonic. Why? Because it doesn't happen to me and
I don't understand it. Manifestation number four is travailing and groaning. Many travail or groan
under the weight of sin or the burden of prayer. Jesus experienced this manifestation in the garden
of Gethsemane Luke 22:44. Charles Finley spoke of the travailing that birth his souls and travail
of sinners groaning in sorrow and repentance. 2 Chronicles chapter 7:9 until verse 11 or Romans
8:26 also says that the Spirit makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Number five, manifestation is overflowing with the Holy Spirit. Book of Acts chapter 2 we see
that believers were filled with the Holy Spirit and many unbelieving spectators thought that
120 believers were drunk with new wine, Acts 2:15. In 2 Corinthians 5:13 Paul spoke of being
beside himself for God, in contrast of being of sound mind. Though people abuse this often
I believe that it does speak of a genuine manifestation. Acts chapter 2:15 it says:
So speaks of 9 a.m in the morning. So that means that sometimes people can be filled with Holy
Spirit and they could act as these believers were perceived as being drunk. I don't believe that
this condones every drunk like behavior, barking and crawling and hissing like a snake and all
under the banner that I'm drunk in the Holy Spirit or turning Holy Spirit into a liquid where you
start passing on the anointing and and start, oh start getting you know all filled and start acting
crazy or out of control. You know the Holy Spirit is a gentleman. The Holy Spirit is God and He is
not to be mocked and He is not to be used like that. We are not to seek these manifestations;
we are to seek God. We are to seek the man Jesus Christ and worship Him but these manifestations
can happen and we should be aware of what the scripture says. Number six is trembling
and shaking. Daniel trembled at the fear of God. Daniel 10:7 until verse 11. The people of Israel
shook along with the mountain in Exodus chapter 19:16-18. Buildings also shook at the presence
of God. Acts 4:31 and Isaiah 6:4. and so it's possible for people to experience such a presence
of God that they actually physically shake. I've seen this happen for some people that I've prayed.
I've seen this in our church. I've seen this overseas where I would walk and sometimes not even
touch a person and the presence of God. And it's different when a person is shaking under demonic
manifestation. You could see it. You can discern it. It's visible on the person's face and the
fruits are different. Other manifestations like weeping or crying out. Many have tears of joy,
tears of repentance and mourning over their sin. Tears of emotional and physical healing,
tears from experiencing God's love or tears from prayer burden. And we see references like:
And many more scriptures where people experience such a manifestations.
As well as of being speechless Ezekiel 3:26 and Luke 1:22 or manifestation of people experiencing
visions or trances. Acts chapter 10:10 and Acts chapter 22:17. As well as traveling in
the Spirit. Acts chapter 8:39-40. When Philip took a trip supernaturally. As well as going to third
heaven Paul talks about in 2 Corinthians 13:2 and 4. And so I brought you different scriptures
for that reason so that you will see that there are some honestly kind of strange manifestation.
Strange to us who are not used to that and this may sound wild for some of you but
please understand just because it's wild, it's not weird. And so what do we do? How do we test these
manifestations? You have to first test the spirit. You know Bible says not to believe every spirit
but to test the spirits in 1 John 4:1. And so we test the spirit. Sometimes you can really even ask
that manifestation is this of the Holy Spirit or is this a demon. Sometimes during deliverance I
would even ask an evil spirit you know, are you of the kingdom of light or the kingdom of darkness?
You know just for the people around to be aware that this is demonic and so the demon of course
will never say they're of kingdom of light. The second one is you have to test the fruit. Bible
clearly states to test the fruit. He said you know the tree by its fruit. So the fruit is, is there
love for God? Is there passion for souls? Is there patience? Is there peace? Is there self-control?
Is there joy, gentleness and kindness? The fruit of the Spirit. Is that fruit present in there?
Is their fruit accompanies these manifestations? And then honestly the big test is the test of who
is being glorified? Is this drawing attention to the person manifesting or is this drawing
attention to Jesus? A lot of manifestations are honestly flesh, where the person is insecure or
they draw attention to themselves instead of to Christ .I like what the reformed leader Jonathan
Edwards in 1741 in his: The Distinguishing Mark of the Work of the Holy Spirit. He wrote
five questions we have to ask to distinguish the work of the Holy Spirit from the counterfeit. The
first one is :
Dear people of God don't be in the hurry to label everything you don't understand, you're not used to as the kundalini spirit. I have a video below that deals with what is kundalini
spirit. Sadly many Christians brush every manifestation under the kundalini spirit based on
some video they watched of some guy who compared kundalini spirit manifestation to the Spirit of
God manifestation in the pentecostal circles. It's completely not right to compare that. Now it's
true that there are similarities in the kundalini spirit to the manifestation of the Holy Spirit.
So is there a similarities of demons speaking in tongues, to real tongues. So is there similarities
with satan using the scripture against Jesus and Jesus quoting the scripture. So is pornography
you know, they still take sex and they pervert it and sex is meant to be in the context of marriage.
There are concerts and really wicked places where people clap, they still clap in church. People
use musical instruments that are being used in church, people use lights that are being used in
church. We use the same technology like instagram facebook and youtube as is being used by some very
bad people. It does not mean that all of these things have to be stopped because they're somehow
used or somehow there they can be found in other sources and so educate yourself concerning what is
the kundalini spirit. There's a video below that you can watch from my friend Everett and you can
be educated and blessed by that but don't brush and accuse or give credit to everything as demonic
because you can be borderline blaspheming the Holy Spirit. With that said we should test spirits,
we should test prophecies, we should test manifestations and we should not be very quick
to take every bizarre crazy, honestly out of this world as Holy Spirit and not be able to confront
it. And honestly ask, is this in the Bible? What fruit is this bringing? Who is this glorifying?
Because ultimately it's all about Jesus. As a pastor let me give you a word of advice.
Manifestations are not the goal. What is the goal? The goal is the message of the good news of Jesus
Christ. The goal is the mission of Jesus Christ and the goal is the miracles of changed life,
someone's eternity being changed, somebody's body being healed and somebody being delivered
from evil spirits. So the message, the mission and the miracles and then the manifestation.
Don't make the manifestation as number one. We don't chase those, those are the last. The first
and foremost is the message, the mission and the miracle. The greatest miracle is the salvation of
soul and then the manifestation. God bless you. I hope that you received something from this video,
