I was amazed to read this article by T.D. Jakes in the Washington Post.
It seems that for T.D. Jakes, yoga can be divorced from its Hindu roots, and the good bishop has a better definition for yoga than that which the Websters dictionary offers.
There is a difference between Christian meditation and yoga. In Christian meditation, you actively consider the Word of God. In yoga, you empty your mind in a process similar to self-hypnosis.
Processes which lead to a passive mind make a person very vulnerable to demonic influence.
I am concerned that here we have a Christian leader with a powerful platform obfuscating the meaning of words and virtually encouraging people to try out something that is powerfully connected to eastern mysticism.
He writes: "If you are embracing or practicing “New Age” eastern spirituality in search of finding an alternative to your current religion, then you have already left the practices and laws that previously governed your religion."
What if you are embracing New Age eastern spirituality with no intention of replacing your current religion, is that supposed to be O.K.?
Maybe its like saying that masturbation is ok as long as you don't do it in a spirit of lust.
What is practicing yoga exercises, breath control and contemplative techniques IS in itself a form of eastern spirituality? How can one practice it without seeking it?
Many experts say that you can't separate these breathing exercises from the spirituality of Hinduism. Possibly because the exercises in themselves constitute an invitation to evil spirits. Remember that the word for "spirit" is the same as the word for "breath" in both Hebrew and Greek.

I do not trust a person
Lack of discernment in the Church of Jesus is now a plague. The so called great preachers are the mirror in place of Jesus. I sometime get angry when you confront somebody who is doing unscriptural stuffs and he/she says what? Mr. so and so, big televangelist do the same! I always tells them, Don't tell me such rubbish. If you will say "but Jesus did it" I will understand not any puppet.
BTW T.D Jakes and some western musicians and big compromisers are influencing many people here in Africa. I wonder why people will imitate Jakes instead of Jesus. Watch for satan's agents, the antichrists.

Anti-Christ Spirit
1 John 2:18 say that many antichrist have gone into the world, and what is the purpose of the antichrist spirit, to be a deceiver, and how does he or she deceive their hearers. By starting out telling the truth, by getting people to lean on them and getting people to believe their teaching and is the only acceptable form of teaching or teachers like them in other words whoever is in their circle of great teachers, is ok to listen to them. These men and women had built empire and shrine and temples to their God called greed and lust, lust for wealth, lust for power, and pride, that they are beyond correction. That they have full revelation of God and need no one to correct them. WHY? Because God has shown them the way through all the mine field of life, they had the answer just order another book for the problem you are facing and just like that your problem is fixed 2 John 2:10 if anyone does not bring the teaching that Jesus Christ is the son of the living God. Do not welcome him or her.May the true Christ protect all of us in the times we live in.
Blessing in Jesus
yoga
I received a catalog in the mail the other day from a Christian book club. I was absolutely astonished that books are being published called Christian yoga....excuse me ....Go to the root of yoga and it cannot nor will it ever be Christian.....It is inviting the serpent into your body among other things....People wake up !!!!!Do not be misled by others but test all things and walk the narrow path of life in joy for your sins are forgiven and you do not need what the world says you need....
TD Jakes 8 second prayer...
My daughter received an email supposedly that TD Jakes believes in and supports called an 8 second prayer, in an email you are not supposed to break the 8 second chain, and you will be blessed! Superstition is also condemned in the Bible. Sad to see these men, if this is truly backed by him, fall to such garbage and paganism!
Billy Graham has compromised
Take a look here. These video clips are only the tip of the iceberg. Its very hard to be a friend of the world without being an enemy of God - impossible, actually, according to the Bible.
