Here is my answer to this important question. \u00a0 Natan<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is a good question and the very same one I asked myself some 20 years ago when I first learned about the Hindu kundalini spirit. YHVH was gracious enough to give me the answer to the question at that time, and I have been going strong and operating in the gifts of the Spirit ever since without fear.<\/p>\n<p>Remember this. Satan has counterfeited nearly everything that is biblical in his demonic false religions including the gifts of the Spirit. Because of this, some people have walked away from the gifts of the Spirit and have taken what\u2019s called a cessationist viewpoint in that they believe the gifts of the Spirit are no longer for us today. This is a reactionary view that is not supported scripturally. It\u2019s a spiritual cop-out. I used to believe this until I got so hungry for more of Yeshua and so sick of dead religion that as I was crying out for him that \u00a0one night while worshipping and praising Yeshua, he baptized me in his Ruach 27 years ago. I was in my living room when it happened and had never been in a Spirit-filled (Pentecostal or Charismatic) church in my lift up to that point.<\/p>\n<p>Yeshua told us to judge with righteous judgment (John 7:24). How do we do this? By examining the fruits (Matt 7:15\u201320) of our actions and insuring that everything lines up with the Word of Elohim. When operating in the gifts of the Spirit including the gift of speaking in tongues, what are the fruits? Are they the fruit of the Spirit as outlined in Gal 5:22\u201325 and not the works of the flesh (Gal 5:19\u201321)? Does it bring you closer to Yeshua? Does it result in praise, worship and the glorification of Elohim? Does it edify and build us up in our spirit man? Does it promote holiness and righteousness? If yes, then this it is a good thing. If not, then it\u2019s from another source. Satan isn\u2019t going to give us anything that expands the kingdom of Elohim at his expense and promotes our spiritual well-being before YHVH.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty years ago YHVH told me that if I loved Yeshua by walking faithfully in his Torah commandments that this would keep me on the straight and narrow path and that I wouldn\u2019t be deceived or led into some spiritual counterfeit. You see, Torah is both a fence and a guardrail. It\u2019s a fence that protects us by keeping the spiritual predators out, but it\u2019s also a guardrail that keep us on the road of life and prevents us from going off the edge and over the cliff spiritually.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect that some in the church world have picked up a kundalini spirit not because they were seeking Yeshua with all their hearts, but because they were seeking an experience. This is idolatry. When we seek anything other than Yeshua, especially supernatural experiences, we\u2019ll get it, for sure, but it won\u2019t be from the Ruach! When, on the other hand, we\u2019re seeking Yeshua with all our heart to love and serve him as it says in Luke 11:9-13, he won\u2019t give us a serpent or a stone (i.e. demonic counterfeit), but will give us good gifts. You can trust YHVH on this!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>For more on the kundalini spirit and what Yeshua and the Bible has to say about it, go to <a
