GRAVE SUCKING BILL JOHNSON

GRAVE SUCKING

Have you heard of Grave Sucking?

Can the Word of Faith hyper-mystical - Third Wave crowd get any more bizarre? What is with this new occult sounding  practice  often referred to as grave sucking?

BILL JOHNSONhttp://www.scribd.com/doc/25418818

Yes a supposed Christian “pastor,” Bill Johnson led a group to John Lake’s grave. He was looking for Lake’s anointing to heal the sick by a supernatural power. The people seeking this new paranormal anointing prostrated themselves upon Lake’s grave weeping, worshipping and expecting that Lake’s ministry power would strike them and his spirit would infuse them with a sign and wonders ministry like he had when he was alive.  Thus, a new preternatural cultwas formed that day that is now referred to as “grave sucking.”

Mr. Johnson testified about this bazaar act of desecration and necromancy (the practice of attempting to communicate with the spirits of the dead in order to predict or influence the future) that he and his group committed on the Sid Roth's radio show, “It’s Supernatural”.

Johnson spun a weird mystical/Occult experience tale to Sid Roth about meeting the Late John Lake’s angel in the building where Lake had previously ministered in his healing rooms. He testified that two ladies went to a back room and they met a giant angel there that healed one of the women. They called Johnson and when he came into the room, he claimed there was anangel about 10 feet tall. Sid asked him, did you see the angel? Johnson replied “No, but I knew he was there and the angel said to me, ‘What took you so long, I've been here for 80 years!  

Johnson said, they saw a “for lease sign” and He rented the building and opened his first "healing room."

HEALING ROOMS

Satan used Bill Johnson to recover the unorthodox healing ministry by angels’ guidance of John Graham Lake (1870-1935). The restoration of this man’s heresy has spread internationally on the wings of the Third Wave Movement.

“For there shall arise false Christ’s, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect…” (Matt 24:24).

We understand that many individuals who are involved with the Healing Rooms Ministries International are very sincere and well-meaning people. Our sounding the alarm about the problems associated with the Healing Rooms is not to pass judgment on the kindness and sincerity of others who are trying to help people through Christian prayer. We encourage all Christians to pray as Scripture instructs us too. We, like others are concerned with the unbiblical practices that take place. Scripture commands Christians to expose false doctrine and unbiblical practices, and it is false doctrine and its fruit - spiritual deception, that we are seeking to warn people about.2

According to Scripture, false teachers who masquerade as "Apostles of Christ” ought to be rebuked, we believe that Scriptural exhortations to rebuke and expose false teachers and false teaching also apply in our day - even if they come wrapped in the guise of "healing rooms", "centering prayer", "Christian yoga", etc. Just because people claim to be "Christian Apostles", "Anointed One's", "God's Generals", "Healers", Christian yogi's, etc., does not mean that they  are. of God. What one teaches and practices reveals outright whom they serve - God, self, or the Devil. 3

Spiritual Research Network and other Bible based ministries are sounding a warning about the Healing Rooms because of the unbiblical and even occult teachings and practices that appear to take place in Healing Rooms and Healing Room type settings. There are many variations and styles within the Healing Room movement and each healing room is different in how it practices its theology and methodology. 4

To note, many ministries are also warning about the cult doctrine of Prosperity Healing, Word Faith Teachings, Latter Rain Teachings, Dominion Theology, etc., that are being sold through the Healing Room International Ministries Online Bookstores, i.e., https://healingrooms.com/ - Patricia King, John and Carol Arnott, Todd Bentley, James Goll, Georgian  Banov,  Stacey  Campbell,  Joshua  Mills,  Benny  Hinn,  Kenneth  Hagin,  Kenneth  Copeland, Kim Clement, Mike Bickle, and many, many more. 5

HERESEY OF NECROMANCY (TALKING TO THE DEAD)

BILL JOHNSON AND THE HERESY OF NECROMANCY

Ministry of the ghouls

How the Healing Rooms were founded. These healing rooms having “healing angels”; the Bible says: “Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,” (Col. 2:18).”

I personally know a woman who reported to us that she had gone to Spokane, Washington with Bill Johnson and a group of Christians to investigate John G. Lakes’ healing ministry.

They wanted to see John G. Lake’s home. Some of Lake’s relatives had bought his home and were restoring it. They refused to let these weird Christians inside. However, they were pulling up old lanoline and other things and throwing this stuff out for the trash. The Christians, like vultures, grabbed the Lake trash out of the garbage. She brought this rubbish to her home and made a collage cross and hung it over her bed.

The Roman Catholic Church is famous for seeking relics of dead saints. They collect hair, bones and objects that they display in the Vatican and cathedrals around the world. Every church cornerstone will have a relic planted in the building.

After leaving Lake’s old home, Bill Johnson and his group went to the cemetery to visit his

grave. This woman told us they all “rolled on the grave” to get Lake’s anointing.”

Then they went to the old building where he conducted his healings. To their amazement, the building was up for lease. She said,  “A woman needed healing and they were in a back room. Suddenly, peace  came into the room... A tall angel was in the room and healed her friend.

They got Bill Johnson and when he came into the room, he claimed on Sid Roth program that the angel spoke to him and said, “Where have you been..... I’ve been waiting for you to come for 80 years.”

Sid Roth asked him, “Could you see the angel?”

Bill Johnson admitted that he could not see the angel that he sensed his presence.... He then said, “He was about 10 or 11 feet tall.”

Johnson leased the John G. Lake building and thus we now having “Healing Rooms,’ around the nation.

The woman friend of mine told us that many then went to Kathryn Khulman’s grave and rolled on her grave to receive her anointing and then they went to Aimee Semple McPherson’s grave and Corrie Ten Boom.

Bill Johnson says, “There are anointing’s, mantles, revelations and mysteries that have lain unclaimed, literally where they were left because the generation that walked in them never passed them on. I believe it’s possible for us to recover realms of anointing, realms of  insight, realms of God that have been untended for decades simply by choosing to reclaim them and perpetuate them for future generations.”6

GOD’S GIFTS DO NOT COME FROM GRAVES

Well Mr. Johnson, my Bible tells me that the Holy Spirit gives gifts to whom He wills; angels have nothing to do with the Christian gifts of the Holy Spirit.

 Truth doesn’t come from seeking the dead.

“But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will,” (I Cor. 12:11).

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning,” (Jam.1:17).

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”(Rom. 8: 38, 39).

GRAVE SUCKING EXPLAINED

“We as believers (in what?); must find a way to retrieve the mantle or anointing from  the  rotting  corpse  six   feet under. Only then can we get God’s plans back on track. This is achieved by placing our hands on the gravestone of the  deceased  or  lying  on  top  of  the grave. Sometimes a prayer will be offered to God to aid in this perceived power transfer.”7

I kid you not! Some people actually believe this. God’s plan has in fact been frustrated and now God needs us to seek out His lost anointing so we can bale God and His plans out. They believe that by laying there on the grave they will be able to pull the anointing from the dead.  It’s as if they believe the Holy Spirit is lost and doesn’t seem to realize that the person they empowered is dead and is no longer able to minister in this empowered way. Suddenly the Holy Spirit senses someone is lying on the dirt six feet above His head. The Holy Spirit, apparently not caring who is laying up there decides to jump into the new body giving them the supernatural abilities that the dearly departed once had. Again this assumes that the person in the grave was in fact empowered by the Holy Spirit. 8

  “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works,” (II Cor. 11:13-15.)

“While they promise them liberty , they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire,” (II Pet. 2:19-22)

BENNY HINN TALKING TO THE DEAD

http://www.scribd.com/doc/17673980

You may also recall that Benny Hinn says that he has a key to Kathryn Khulmans grave and claims he gets anointing from there as well as Semple McPherson’s grave. I was absolutely mystified that Christians could have fallen into such deep heresy.

Now, I don't understand why the Lord allowed me to see that. I've not just seen angels; I've seen saints. Can I tell you? This might even shock you a little more. The Lord gave me a vision of Kathryn Kuhlman sitting with what seemed to be a group of people and every one of them seemed to be urging me to pray.  

Now, I know this sounds crazy, but it's all right. I don't mind crazy because I liked what I saw . . . I was in prayer at uh, least hours . . . At least fifty to seventy of them sitting in a group, and they were saying to me, 'Pray! Ask God to give you a healing ministry that will touch the world! And suddenly, I heard Kathryn's voice and suddenly there she was its crystal clear. And she in her beautiful smile, she said, 'Ask! We're waiting for you to ask! We're praying with you to ask!' And the vision disappeared. And suddenly I said, 'Lord!' And I asked. A week later the anointing hit my life. I believe the saints in Heaven urge us to pray. Urge us

o do it! 9

Necromancy is communication with the dead and is absolutely forbidden by Holy Scripture. Moses stated, "There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer" (Deut. 18:10-11).

Isaiah added a clear warning that we are to seek our God by seeking His law and His testimony, and if we seek any other source or spirit it is because there is no light in us. "And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is]

no light in them" (Isa. 8:19-20).10

Folks, it’s not surprising that Mr. Hinn is confused about his faith. There is simply no Christian faith without Jesus Christ as its foundation. His teachings are pure doctrines of devils.

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth,” (I Tim. 4:1-3).

Hinn, a “Christian star” teaches that Jesus actually became one in nature with Satan. Hinn says, "Jesus Christ knew the only way He would stop Satan is by becoming one in nature with him. He became one with the nature of Satan, so all those who had the nature of Satan can partake of the nature of God." 11 (Benny Hinn" program on TBN [15 December 1990, emphasis in original]. This message, titled "The Person of Jesus" [delivered during Orlando Christian Center's Sunday morning service on 2 December 1991], comprises Part Four of Hinn's six-part series on "The Revelation of Jesus" [Orlando Christian Center, 1991], videotape #TV-292).

Hinn goes on to teach the most dangerous, insane doctrines of demons that are not shown in the Bible. He says, “Adam was a superman and the first man on the moon; "Adam was a super-being when God created him. I don't know whether people know this, but he was the first superman that really ever lived. First of all, the Scriptures declare clearly that he had dominion over the fowls of the air, the fish of the sea--which means he used to fly. Of course, how can he have dominion over the birds and not be able to do what they do? The word 'dominion' in the Hebrew clearly declares that if you have dominion over a subject that you do everything that subject does. In other words, that subject, if it does something you cannot do, you don't have dominion over it. I'11

prove it further. Adam not only flew, he flew to space. He was-with one thought he would be on the moon." "Praise the Lord" program on TBN [26 December 1991].12

Benny Hinn: "When you say, 'I am a Christian, you are saying, 'I am mashiach' in the Hebrew. I am a little messiah walking on earth, in other words Which is a shocking revelation.... May I say it like this? You are a little god on earth running around." "Praise- a-Thon" program on TBN [6 November 1990] 13

This strange evangelist goes on to say "The Bible says the prophets spoke the Word not knowing what they were saying. But 4000 years passed when the Word became a human being and walked and talked and moved. The spoken Word became a human being. The spoken Word became flesh. The spoken Word got legs on, arms, eyes, hair, and a body. And He was no longer saying, 'Thus sayeth the Lord.' He was saying, 'I say unto you.' The Word that was spoken through the lip [sic] of prophets was now walking on the seashore of Galilee "Benny Hinn" program on TBN [15 December 1990, emphasis in original]. This message, titled "The Person of Jesus" [delivered during Orlando Christian Center's Sunday morning service on 2 December 1991], comprises Part Four of Hinn's six-part series on "The Revelation of Jesus" [Orlando Christian Center, 1991], videotape #TV-292.14

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ,” (II Cor. 4: 1- 6).
