Video of some more bad roots to the charismatic movement of today. Why oh why are some of you so afraid to test things and just call something wrong? If you can not see the blatant mocking and blasphemy there is something seriously wrong with your doctrine. Oh, ooops I used that bad word–doctrine. Well, guess what–you better start getting it straight because if you do not you will believe every lie and delusion that starts coming at us.

godsplumbline gives us this:

Seems like a lot of it started with a man named John Alexander Dowie. He claimed to be the forerunner of Christs’ second coming. He is called the Father of Healing Revival.  He was noted for financial irresponsiblitity and love of personal luxury.

John Crowder, in the video, at the gravesite ot Dowie,  lies about the accomplishments of this apostate.  Saying that the walls were covered with braces and many people came out of their wheelchairs. Same thing we hear today by those within the false revival movements.

Dowie viewed druggists and doctors as instruments of the devil. Many people died after coming to his meetings by not following through with medical attention.

“We just come to the grave today to release to you an impartation of healing… annointing so we just rip it right out of the ground suck it off his dead bones in Jesus’ name (camera man laughs) and loose it  to you a healing revival glory …”

This is necromancy. I find it very odd that the camera man laughs at the timing of “Jesus’ name.” This is blatant mockery.

And when Saul enquired of the Lord, The Lord answered him not. Neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. – Isaiah 28:6 -

So when the Lord refused to answer Saul, what did Saul do? He sought out a witch to speak to him. It was sin then and it is still sin to seek guidance from witchcraft or the dead.

John Crowder goes on, “Dead bones still have the glory of God resting on them.”

This is the same belief Catholics hold with their artifacts. It is not only trusting in the dead, it is a type of worshipping the dead.

“We honor the presence of God that was on John Alexander Dowie…and right now Father, we just release it, we pull on it, thank you Father for that glory…”

More of worshipping the dead. It is only the Lamb of God that is to receive all honor and glory. These heretics want to give it to the dead in hopes of getting something from the dead.  

In 1906 Dowies’ followers revolted and ousted him from leadership. When his own daughter was severly burned by knocking over an alcohol lamp, he refused her medical treatment and she died in that condition. 

So just like the movement of today, there is no mercy, no compassion for those who do not get their healing or who stay sick. Instead they are told they need to have more faith, or they are in rebellion against the great ones’ teachings.

In 1901 Dowie came out and said he was Elijah, the Restorer. Funny thing about that. William Branham said the same thing. Both men had the same lying spirit!

“When the glory of God is release, it will be controversial. God is seperating the sheep from the goats. He’s stripping away the cowards from the movement…if you want the glory you’ve got to… bite into it like a bulldog.”

In other words, anyone who refuses to get their annointing from a dead body, is a coward. This tactic is one of manipulation and bullying. We are to bite into this movement like a bull dog? No, rather we are to stand for the truth like a bulldog!  

Dowie dressed in priestly robes modeled after those in Leviticus.

It is hard to describe what happens at 5:25 as he says, “Right now in Jesus name.” His tongue can not speak and it is a complete mockery, once again, at the mention of Jesus name. This alone should be enough to make anyone flee from this heretic.

“We just rip right off his deaaaad bones and put it right on you… Ohhh, dead bones, dead bones, He’s the god of the living, not the god of the deaaaad.”

Then why are you at a grave site trying to get anything off the dead?

“John Alexander Dowie is alive!” 

This actually is taking the place of Jesus being the One who is alive. Only Jesus has His presence here on this earth. John Dowie is dead and his body remains in the grave. 

John Alexander Dowie suffered from hallucintions during his last illness. He of a stroke on March 9, 1907.

Let the dead bury their dead. – Matthew 8:22 -
