DAVID WILKERSON
Another Hindu New Age Clone of Kathryn Kuhlman By
Chris Klippert We are grateful to Chris Klippert for forwarding
this information. I have tried to get to the bottom of Wilkerson's cult
for some time with no success. He has distanced himself from Bronsville and the
Toronto Blessing, as well as other loonie Charismatics. This seemed like
a good trend. Yet his vision, which catepulted him into the limelight of
Christendom, was a screwy mess, which, when correct, simply parroted the Bible's
prophetic things. According to Dr. John Mac Arthur, a Lutheran Pastor was giving
a vision in the some building where Wilkerson gave his at the very same instant.
The two visions did not agree, but Wilkerson prevailed, and he was a hit.
So, between then and now Wilkerson has walked a cautious path. Now,
we finally have learned of his origins in Kathryn Kyhlman and the Hindu New Age
teachings she passed on to him. Two other men got their power and origins
from Kuhlman-- Benny Hinn, and Dino Kartsenakis (Don't know the spelling). Dino
uses New Age rifs in the treble to start many of his numbers, and Benny
Hinn teaches Hinduism in a Christian package. So, we now ask you to
examine David Wilkerson. He has to be highly dangerous since he has maintained
such a civilized aura in Charismania. Nothing could be further from the
truth.
Mount
Zion School of Ministry
Going
to Mount Zion School of Ministry? Be Warned! My son recently
graduated from Mount Zion School of Ministry with the two-year diploma. While
he was attending, I definitely felt something was odd but couldn’t put our
finger on the problem. Problem? What could possibly be wrong? Dave Wilkerson is
the sponsor and founder of Mount Zion School of Ministry! We sent our son with
utter confidence and trust. Unfortunately, we had no inkling of what was truly
happening at Mount Zion. What is Happening at Mount Zion School of
Ministry? The administration of Mount Zion is putting forward perverse
New Age Theology. These teachings undermine: * Salvation though
faith in Jesus Christ alone
* Divine Healing as provided for in the atonement1
* Empowerment for service through the Holy Ghost Baptism
Rather than being built up with sound Biblical doctrine, Mount Zion students
are lead into a mystical world of monkish introspection and scourging of their
inner selves. They are taught that only through a long process of breaking and
or physical (sickness) can a believer be properly equipped for ministry. Personal
Sorrow and suffering are depicted as the only means to attain holiness and full
unity or fellowship with Christ.2 Ultimately, students are informed
through Hannah Hurnard’s writings that every human affection must be destroyed
as a sacrifice to God. The students are lead to believe that in this life, their
human affections must be completely removed. When this work is achieved inner
sorrow and suffering will supposedly vanish away!3 I have only
recently discovered that Dave Wilkerson also puts forward SOME of these ideas
in his book Hungry For More of Jesus.4 NOTICE: every
teacher at Mount Zion does not promote The above Theology. Nonetheless, every
student is exposed to and strongly inseminated with these doctrines. When my son
gave a talk about victory in Jesus his message was refused and another had to
be submitted. Implementing
Truth? -- Oh Dear! These bazaar teachings at Mount Zion were
clearly exemplified when my son initiated, with some faculty resistance, a love
offering to pay for a fellow student’s tooth extraction. This student was
suffering with two seriously decayed teeth and defiantly did not have the resources
to pay a dentist. A week or so after the collection was gathered the students
were informed that it was a sin to interfere with God’s dealings. The students
were told, that by giving help, we hinder the suffering that God has willed and
thus, a needed lesson will not be learned! Reader, please remember
that the above approach to suffering is a fundamental tenant of Islam but not
Christianity. It is certainly not consistent with our past image of Dave Wilkerson
and his ministry! Nevertheless, this was not an isolated case at Zion. The prayer
of faith is not part of the Zion experience. Rather, suffering in body and soul
are put forward as God’s tools for our betterment. If this troubles you and
sounds unbelievable than check below and read our book review of Dave’s Hungry
for More of Jesus. Polluted
Wells We have told you the good news and from here things get
much worse. At Mount Zion School of Ministry President Catherine has stayed the
course upon two books. First, the Bible (good! very good!) as might be expected
and secondly, the writings and spirituality of Hannah Hurnard. In Dave Wilkerson’s
graduation speech he admitted twice that Catherine was no Theologian but was deeply
spiritual. What Dave failed to say or realize was that Catherine is a Hannah Hurnardite.
In my son’s first year Catherine used Hannah’s Hinds’ Feet on
High Places as the main chapel devotional guide. President Catherine continues
to base her life’s message upon Hannah’s teaching. Hannah’s writings
are not simply another book at Zion but are described by Catherine as "inspired
by the Holy Spirit." Hannah’s book Mountains of Spices was used in
a class during my son’s second year while the Hinds’ Feet message
was ongoing in all that Catherine emphasized and imparted. The
Spawn of Satan So, who is Hannah Hurnard? By the end of her
life Hannah Hurnard established herself as an extreme heretic of the first order,
who, put forward a smorgasbord of extreme New Age Theology including, open rejection
of the Gospel, Hyper Necromancy, Universalism, Pantheism, Reincarnation, and much
more. Her final book The Inner Man, is only available though New Age book
suppliers. My Christian bookstore could not trade with these sources. Nevertheless,
Hannah’s Hinds’ Feet remains very high on the Christian, best
sellers book list. Having a "flowers and spice" approach, Hinds’ Feet
simply appears to be another "girl thing" book. Actually, Hinds’ Feet
has some very hurtful Theology but you must read carefully and listen to what
is being said, rather than what is being felt. Remember, every feeling must bow
to the Word of God! Hannah’s fall from the truth was no fall at
all. A malevolent spirit controlled her before she ever started writing. In her
first book Hind’s Feet she introduces several extreme New Age teachings
but dresses them in flowers, nature, lovely animals and a idealistic romance with
the Shepherd. She wrote of a long journey to the High Places or Kingdom of Love.
In her last book The Inner Man she confirms that this climb to the High
Places depicts our exodus from Physical consciousness to inner "mysticism" or
soul world awareness. She says that this process of passing from one world to
the other is called dyeing to self and is only achieved through our personal sorrow
and suffering. In Eagles’ Wings Hannah asserts that her
message contradicts the Fundamental Gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus
and the repentance of sin. Remember, Hannah’s false spirituality is only
achieved through our personal sorrow and suffering. Conversely, we know that if
our personal sacrifice could save us than the shepherd might just as well be Buddha.
If Christ’s blood brings our Salvation than only Jesus will suffice! The
message that we preach is just as important as the name we follow! Far,
Far, Far Out!-- Talking to the Dead In Hannah’s The
Inner Man she declares that our awakening to the unseen world is a wonderful
liberation. We are then free to travel about in the spirit and to congregate with
other kindred spirits. We are also told that we may converse with the dead in
spite of Scripture’s prohibition, because, Jesus has approved this practice
and he acts as the medium between the dead and the living. Hannah asserts entering
this mystical world awakens us to new inner powers. She says that our mind cannot
only read thoughts but our mind can altar the physical world around us. Through
positive thinking Hannah ascribes powers to us that belong only to God in heaven.
All of this occurs after we have earned the high places via sorry and suffering.
Consider how that all of these Satanic teaching began with a supposed righteous
journey up to the Kingdom of Love. Was this an innocent journey or one of the
great deceptions of the 20th Century? The end of the matter has not yet been told.
How many well meaning Christians are drawing their spirituality from Hannah’s
well and in the process are drinking from a cup of demonic deception? How many
are seeking holiness through their own sacrifices rather than Christ’s Cross
and are thus trusting in an anti-Cross? How many place their inner revelations
above the Scripture and in so doing are following another Christ? May God save
us! Will he find faith when he comes? New

Shall I Attend
Mount Zion School of Ministry? Well, if you
are considering attending Mount Zion School of Ministry you now have something
to pray about.
* Ask any Mount Zion student about Hannah Hurnard’s books
at Mount Zion.
* Inquire about "brokenness" and sorrow and suffering at Mount
Zion.
* Read Hinds’ Feet for yourself or look at other books by Hannah.
* Judge weather the graduates of Mount Zion display the love and anointing
that you seek.
* Don’t follow any man’s great name but follow Christ
and His Word! I might suggest a visit but visitors
have not generally been welcome. Apparently, the leaders of Mount Zion are genuinely
frightened that Hannah’s Theology might be exposed. Boo0!!!!
Touch Not the Lord’s Anointed! I know that some will shutter
because they believe that I have touched the Lord’s anointed. Yes, I take
that thought very seriously! I remember that David’s heart smote him for
simply cutting off Saul’s skirt. Do you think I am smiling? No, I am not.
Yet, I place God’s Word above all men, reputations, and all experiences and
presumed anointing. "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth
all men every where to repent:" Acts 17:30 I refuse to remain silent
while Satan damages the cream of future Pentecostal ministry! No one can be allowed
to sabotage the message of salvation or the truth of enduement with power for
service through the Baptism in the Holy Ghost! When you are sick, do you want
a minister with "sympathy" or Holy Ghost power? Be careful about who prays for
your healing. They might believe that your sickness is a blessing from God! You
won’t find much faith or power in their empty hands. You might even hear
a little voice murmur, "Welcome to the high places of SUFFERING AND AFFLICTION."
NOTICE: Twice, I contacted Dave Wilkerson and informed him about Hannah
Hurnard and her abominable heresies. I thought Dave would want to explore the
documentation that I had gathered. I believed Dave would do something to distance
his school from such shame! Finally, Dave has done something. He has sent word
saying that since my son does not agree with Mount Zion’s teachings (Hannah
Hurnard’s Heresy) he must not to return to fulfill his required internship.
What could Dave's response mean? Why would he not stand for truth?
Now, my son suffers and is persecuted for righteousness sake and the Word of
God. Although, his sufferings will not make him more holy, his sufferings will
certainly increase his heavenly reward. (Matthew 5:12) I am posting this information
as a sincere warning to aspiring ministers. I have no fear, because, the God that
I serve places his Word above even his name. (Psalm 138:2) Written
by: James Thorpe In the 1960s I personally participated in Dave
Wilkerson’s ministries by being placed in charge of a weekly reform school
ministry that Teen Challenge had initiated. Furthermore, I later worked a few
evenings at the Lost Coin with Dave’s sainted mother. I also distributed
his Cross and Switchblade book on the streets and drove teens to his meetings
where I was a personal altar worker. I am an Ordained Pentecostal Pastor, former
children’s evangelist, teen minister, and missionary to Honduras. I love
the Word of God more than life and Jesus most of all. I am aware of the broad
support that Dave Wilkerson enjoys. Nevertheless, I must fulfill my commission
to warn those who stray and those who will be hurt. Hannah Hurnard’s doctrine
is certainly being taught at Mount Zion. Think of the harm that this deceptive
spirit will bring to future generations!
