SECOND WARNING - BILL JOHNSON and BETHEL CHURCH by Andrew Strom
A couple of years ago, we sent out a Warning itemizing several facts about Bill Johnson's ministry and Bethel church in Redding.
Numerous witnesses and videos from Bethel show that this
church is spreading an "anointing" very similar to Todd Bentley - i.e., spiritual 'drunkenness,' jerking, hysterical laughter, "angel orbs,"
'fire tunnels', spirit travel, mystical "portals," etc. Plus, there is constant
talk in their ministry school of bizarre angel encounters and trips to the
'third heaven.' All of it has an exceptionally 'New Age' feel. And it is still
going on today. (But even worse - as we shall see).
Bill Johnson strongly defended Todd Bentley - even after
his divorce and remarriage. No wonder the 'anointing' both men carry
seems almost identical (though their "style" is very different).
These facts are beyond dispute and have been confirmed by many witnesses.
But whenever I say such things about Bill Johnson, people
rush to defend him, saying what a 'great guy he is and what a great ministry
he has. And yes - he is a very charming man who does say good things. If he
didn't, he wouldn't be so dangerous. Deception always wraps itself in the best
"sheep's wool" it can find. Otherwise, it would have no chance of
deceiving the sheep! Why do you think the Bible warns of "SEDUCING"
spirits in the Last Days - and 'LYING' signs and wonders? If the deception was
not so 'seductive,' then nobody would fall for it. And this stuff is very
seductive indeed.
THINGS Get WORSE
Several years ago, the Bethel crowd published a book we only found out about recently. It was co-authored by Bill Johnson's
administrative assistant, Judy Franklin, with a foreword by Bethel pastor Kris
Vallotton. Bill Johnson wrote two chapters, and his wife Beni wrote
another. In other words, it has Bethel's stamp all over it. (It is still sold
on the Bethel website).
So what is this book about? The blurb says-
"Exploring the mysteries of God in sound, light, vibrations, frequencies,
energy, and quantum physics." Does that sound 'New Age' to you? Yes - and
it gets even worse. Please remember that this book has Bill Johnson's name and Bethel's strong endorsement and participation.
When you open the book, you find chapter headings like
this- "Vibrating in Harmony with God," 'Good Vibrations, 'Quantum
Mysticism' and "The God Vibration." And some of the sub-headings are
even more astounding: "Dolphins and Healing Energy," 'The Power of Color', "Human Body Frequencies," etc. - it is all new age modalities. Here is one on color, chakras and auras.

You might ask, What kind of 'Christian' book is this? And
the answer is that it is Bethel and Bill Johnson's kind of Christian book. It
literally has Bill's name on it. This is a peek into the real Bethel behind the
scenes. When you look at this publication, suddenly you understand why we see
all these weird videos and testimonies from Bethel of strange 'New Age'
terminology and bizarre spiritual practices. Now we know why. We have the
evidence in black and white.
We have shown the contents of this book to leaders and
people that have been fans and supporters of Bill Johnson. They have verified
the source of it. And just reading this content has turned most of them from
being a supporter of Bethel into an opponent in a matter of a few hours. It
really is that bad. So openly 'New Age' you could hardly believe it.
With all this talk of "vibrations" in the book,
perhaps we can now better understand why Bill Johnson's wife Beni wrote in her
blog:
"I was talking with Ray Hughes the other day and was
telling him about using a 528 HZ tuning fork as a prophetic act. Someone told
me that this tuning fork is called the tuning fork of LOVE... the sound of this
fork brings healing." (Please note that crystals and tuning forks are used
in NEW AGE therapy - not Christianity.
And by the way, Beni Johnson, for years, has been CO-PASTOR
of Bethel alongside her husband Bill).
This might also help explain why Beni Johnson recently
released a photo of herself "soaking" (lying down) on the grave of a
dead Christian leader - and why Bethel students also put out photos of
themselves "grave sucking" (as it is called) - trying to "soak
up" the anointing from the graves of dead preachers. I am not
exaggerating. They actually do this. I hope you can see how dangerous and
unbiblical it all is. Somebody needs to confront Bill Johnson about it. That is
why I include a whole new section of these disturbing facts in the 2015
edition of my book 'Kundalini Warning.' And it is also why I am writing this
article.
When Nadab and Abihu offered "strange fire"
before the Lord in the Old Testament, they were consumed by God and died.
(Lev 10:1-2). 'Strange fire' is still deadly today. The
body of Christ needs to be warned.
As one of the graduates of the Bethel ministry school
(BSSM) wrote to me: "There would be all kinds of distracting behavior
(random shouting, laughing, etc.) during school sessions and church services.
When any guest speaker came to school, students would flock to the front to get
as close to the speaker as possible. We were taught that any anointing we
wanted could be received by simply "claiming it" for ourselves... The
drunken behavior and questionable teachings from some, if not all, of these
speakers, were shocking at times... I would always hear people talking about
their encounters with angels and how they visited heaven. One young woman I
knew said she could see angels everywhere, she talked to them all the time, and
she would help her friends to do the same."
In summary, this is a very dangerous movement, and the warning needs to be sounded as far and wide as possible. There are false prophets who do great exploits for God, but they are wolves in sheep's clothing. How can you tell? They don't show love to others. If you don't agree with the prophet's word, they will attack you maliciously. I've learned that many prophets are operating in divination and saying their power is from God. Watch and be weary. Matthew 24:24 says, "24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect."
I am hearing numerous accounts of many people in the body of Christ being eaten up by false prophets.
