Remember the tribal "dance," Todd Bentley style as seen on You Tube here?
Apparently, and rightly so, there has been quite an uproar over it around the internet and blogsphere as more and more people are catching onto this New Age, 'revival' ' scam' camouflaged as Christianity at Lakeland and apparently, the performer of the "dance," is now attempting to "rationalize" and "justify" the extrabiblical occultic "dance" performed at Lakeland June 2. Her remarks now, posted here in its entirety justifying this fleshy, worldly, occultic shaman are self explanatory, wherein she attempts to call it "Christian" warfare dance, picking apart and selectively choosing and twisting words from scripture to fit into the unbiblical Word of Faith heresy-- Word of Faithers believe that what they say will come to be, what "they think" the scriptures say is theirs to have, by the "faith force." For the purpose of this article, I will use three examples from the link above as stated by the dancer, to demonstrate how the blasphemous Word of Faith combined w/ New Age occultic belief is in full force here.
Notice how the dancer justifies this tribal shaman here, selectively using portions of scripture verses:
First, in PART 3, the dancer says:A picture was coming to me of like being in a battle field.
The dancer writes:PART 4: Robotic moves. I am a modern dancer and so for me those types of movements are very militant and “strong”. They require a lot physically and in my mind I am thinking of the armor of God, blocking the arrows of the enemy, shield of faith.
In part 3 above it is clear that the dancer is using New Age "visualization" as she says "a picture was coming to me." In Part 4 above, it is clear that she is using Ephesians 6:16 which she has completely twisted its meaning, and where the Apostle Paul writes "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the firey darts of the wicked." Anyone who knows anything about the ancient Roman fighting strategies knows that a shield was worn by Roman soldiers for protection from flaming arrows, or darts as the Apostle Paul writes, from the enemy. Roman soldiers could advance toward their target city because they were covered with their shield of protection despite the flying "darts"; Born again Christians know that Jesus Christ is our only shield of protection and we cannot rely on our own abilities in this spiritual battle to fight off any firey "darts" coming toward us by the enemy as the dancer apparently believes. It is obvious to any born again believer that she is using a technique of "visualization" because of her statement of "in my mind" to accomplish blocking the arrows of the enemy.
The dancer writes PART 5: Around 2:05. I do some grabbing motions. In my mind I am praying and speaking to the enemy with motions saying “give that back. That’s mine” There are places where the enemy has come like a lion seeking whom he may devour and there are things in our lives that have been robbed. As the body it’s time to take them back.
For those of us who have read Revelation and believe what is written, we know that the earth will not be rid of its evil until Jesus Christ himself comes back to defeat Israel's enemies and the enemies of God and satan himself.
Here we have her again, using visualization "in my mind" and "speaking to the enemy." Typical of Word of Faithers, the dancer apparently thinks she can talk or "activate" the faith force, talk to the enemy satan, who is the enemy of every real Christian, and demand and cause him to give back what he has taken. Word of Faithers think they are "little gods." This absurdity totally abolishes God's sovereignty over His creation. From statements in part 5, she is obviously "visualizing" the enemy here. Continues here with more of the same. This is not Christian by the wildest stretch of anyone's mind or imagination.
Visualization is right out of New Age Occultic teachings. In Occult practices intangible images are brought into (physical reality) the material world, our 3rd dimension, by a number of ways. The attainment of this experiential knowledge (gnosis) leads to a self-realization . It has been said by occultists it lead's one to the mastery of spiritual technology and the attainment of psycho-spiritual powers.
The belief is that energy follows our thought. Our mind and thoughts produce energy, which begins to be birth in the spiritual realm first and then is reproduced in the natural. As the image we hold is incubated in thought it becomes birthed in the physical material world. Everything is first spiritual then physical. They claim this is how God created, he first had the image and then spoke it .This is clearly Christian Science and mind science also found in eastern ways of philosophy and metaphysical thought.
