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.

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.
Counselor's note:
Take every person through this prayer, regardless. Everyone may not be ready to go through this prayer in the first few visits. With ritual abuse survivors, it would be wise to first build a relationship with the person. Ritual survivors usually have been betrayed by every person they ever trusted and you are no different from the rest. It will take time for them to trust you, little by little.
They are also feeling a tremendous amount of shame and guilt for what they have done so go very slow and let them lead. Follow the Holy Spirit's guidance. With ritual abuse survivors, you need to get the support of as many internal alters as possible before taking the host or any part through this prayer. You can explain to the internal system why it is necessary to go through this prayer if you have a relationship with the system. If not, have the host go inside and explain this to the internal system. The host can ask the helper parts to protect the little ones or take them to a safe place. Then they can take steps to ensure the safety of the internal system and the child alters.
You may have to bind any spirits that can cause flashbacks of the rituals. One indication of a problem is when they start to pray, flashbacks start. It should be noted that a flashback can be caused by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and can occur in abuse, trauma, and war survivors. This can also be from an altar that is afraid or from an evil spirit. Take time to investigate what is happening. Read the book listed on MPD.
It is important to know what is causing the problem so you can stop it. You want to stop it but not do any damage in the process. You will need to pray for discernment.
You may have to do some spiritual warfare and pray the "Rule of the Victor" prayer before proceeding. Details about the" Rule of the Victor" prayers are found in notes to Prayer No. 9.

Note, that spiritual warfare or binding spirits does not always have to be done out loud. It is effective if done very low or even spoken internally. If the person does not have a problem with binding spirits and spiritual warfare, then by all means do it aloud and have them agree. Most ritual survivors are multiples, (people who have Multiple Personality Disorder). The term Multiple Personality Disorder has been changed to Dissociative Identity Disorder and maybe a better term to use with the counselee.
Those with Multiple Personality Disorder or ritual abuse survivors require special care. Caution is always the way to go in all these cases. An alter personality is a split in the mind and NOT a DEMON. If you don't know the difference between an alter and a demon, then check with someone who has experience with multiplicity and dissociation. If you continue trying to cast an alter out of a multiple, much damage can result and healing is hindered for some time. Their trust will also be damaged. The message to them is that the Church doesn't understand or care. Also, if you know the person is a ritual abuse survivor and you are not sure exactly what to do, then consult with someone experienced in that area. Most non-ritualized survivors of sexual abuse usually do not have a problem with this prayer. Satanic dedications can happen to anyone with or without their knowledge, often as a baby or young child. Most people do not know what took place in their lives as very young children. Someone in the family or relatives may have said evil or occult prayers over him/her when they were babies.
Often, cults are part of the family heritage and have gone on for generations. The family does not see any problem with "passing on the heritage." However, this sets the child up for demonic attack and entanglement later in life. Someone may have made a financial agreement in exchange for some of the baby's blood or dedicated the baby to a false god or Satan. There may have been a dedication before the child was born. Some are cultural rituals as with the American Indians, Pennsylvania Dutch "pow-wow" healers, Spanish Santeria cults, etc. They pray or make dedications to demonic spirit powers.
There are many initiation rites and ceremonies in secret societies that bring curses on people. It is believed that initiation into Mormonism has pacts and vows that can hold a person in bondage and open them to demonic attacks. These need to be renounced and repentance made. Some believe they are actually making a dedication to the Lord God, Yahweh, but they are deceived.
Some parents will take their children to psychic or occult healers when doctors fail them. These methods of healing are satanic and call upon demonic powers for healing. Satan never gives anything away. He will take off physical sickness and give them mental torment. This often does not show up until some time later.
Children make a blood pack or cut themselves in play, becoming "blood brothers or sisters," copying what they have seen on TV. These activities can have a lasting damaging effect on the participants and their descendants. You can tell the counselee that it is best to be safe and pray this prayer, just in case someone has prayed over them without their knowledge. They don't want to leave any unknown doorways open through which Satan can attack. Explain that only one part of this prayer may apply to them, but we don't know which part, so have them pray the entire prayer.
Blood pacts, vows, and oaths must be renounced and broken. These activities place curses on the participants and open them to torment by evil spirits. This is often done "just for fun" or "it really didn't mean anything." Satan takes a different view of coming to his kingdom for help and will use it to gain evil control over a person. The Lord GOD, Yahweh, also takes a different view of participating in these activities, see Exodus 20:3-4 and Deuteronomy 18:9-13.
Counselors can have the person pray, renounce, and cancel the effects of these curses and dedications. This process is crucial for freedom. After the person has prayed, have them command all spirits that came in with the curses, pacts, or dedications to leave in Jesus' name. Afterward, the person can submit all those areas of themselves to God for cleansing by the Blood of Jesus. Pray for the Holy Spirit to fill all places where the spirits were.
