A night in the glory? With Dan Bohi
1 Kings 8:10-13 New King James Version (NKJV) 10 And it came to pass,
when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the
house of the Lord, 11 so that the priests could not continue ministering
because of the cloud; for the glory of the
Lord filled the house of the Lord.
Many of my critics seem to think it was unfair to comment on Dan Bohi even though I have listened to hours of his tapes and videos. They seem to think it was unfair because I had not seen him live. So I took care of that last night and went to hear Dan speak at a church in Columbus Ohio. Here is my report on what went on and what was said.
The service started out with about an hour of music. The band was actually pretty talented musically and had many different ages on stage from young to older. Some of the music was God centered some was man-centered. The thing I took exception to was the mantra style of singing. It was almost like contemplative prayer to get you into an altered state of mind. They would take one or two verses and just repeat them over and over again.
After all that Nazarene pastor Rob McCorkle took the stage to introduce Dan. He stated that "we honor a prophet with applause" and than made a appeal to pass the plate. I realize this is how Dan makes his living so......ok. But the appeal was made for lots of money. That aside I have heard of hand clap offerings for the Lord, but not applause for the prophet. Not sure how Daniel or the other of out Lord's true prophets would feel about that. Pretty sure they would pass.
It was stated in this meeting by Dan: "Sometimes you need to throw wisdom out the window".
However, scripture states in Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."
Then Dan called up anyone that had any fear.....to make sure that 'fear' was cast aside. Yes perfect love casts out all fear but a healthy fear of the Lord is a good thing because it shows respect to God.
This went on for quite sometime, and then Dan talked about himself, and his ministry for a good solid hour. Dan emphasized all that he had done, and yes, he did state a few times, that it wasn't him, but God. However, his statements focused mainly on himself.
He made a couple claims that really stuck out.
He claimed a lesbian had come to one of his meetings and got healed but she didn't get saved. Now when Dan expounded on this, he stated the lesbian had said she couldn't leave and she didn't know why.
Im just guessing, but perhaps she needed to get the true gospel of Jesus Christ shared with her. This was not mentioned so I don't know if the gospel was shared with her or not.
Then a 12 year old girl claimed she had been healed of the bad memories of being abused. He stated the child stated to her parents "I cant remember the abuse". She remembered the abuse because she mentioned it but couldn't remember what happened. Hmm?
Then Dan went into his teaching.
In my opinion, Dan does not rightly divide the scriptures. His speech was on 1 Kings 13. Dan was all over the place with this. This portion lasted for about 1/2 hour.
During this time as well, Dan took shots at a group I belong to called Concerned Nazarenes. He prayed that sickness would strike us so we could not type and that our hands would freeze so we could not type. (Hmm that didn't seem to work Dan maybe you ought to call out to your god a little louder maybe he cant hear you?).
Dan, complemented himself often, saying: "Im preaching good.". Which I thought was prideful.
Dan said he was preaching new truth, new revelation from some 'god'. But scripture states in Jer 6:16 "Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein."
In my opinion, Dan's followers are stating this just like the Israelites did. Dan spoke a lot about 'the voice', 'new truth' and 'revelations'. He stated he preached a 'new truth' in Farmington New Mexico. The emphasis seemed to be on Dan's 'new truth' and 'revelation', not God's written word.
When Dan taught, he called the scriptures 'stories', not God's Word. That was interesting.
At times, Dan seemed to point out that he was in an actual communication with God on the spot, and they have/had a lot of conversations. God asked him to heal in certain ways and Dan replied basically "Do 'we' have to heal backs or knees again?"
I don't know if Dan was being glib or just carnal, but do we question God? Keep in mind the fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom.
Dan talked a lot about being slain in the spirit. He stated he was not comfortable with it because he is a Nazarene. But, he still does it. He also talked about how he slayed a rather large lady in the spirit and she knocked down 2 others in the process with one landing on a DS's lap. With the DS claiming he had not seen power like this before. I bet he hadn't.
I was sitting in the second pew behind some of the band and in front of a lot of pastors, so I could get a good view of what was going on. When Dan would lay hands on someone I saw him many times start with a finger on the forehead, then if that didn't work, he would place both hands gently on the sides of the persons face. And if that didn't work he would direct a catcher to go back behind the person and he would usually get a slow complimentary fall after that.
I saw 2 people go down right away. The most disturbing part for me was what I witnessed when I was getting ready to leave. I wanted to go up and introduce myself to Dan, plus I did want to encourage him on his weight loss.
I went to where Dan was sitting, and my jaw dropped. A lady was on her knees, bent over, face down, hands outstretched, each hand on one of Dan's feet. This in my opinion, had the appearance an act of worship directed towards Dan.
I felt that this type of act should be saved for the Lord only. Dan was leaning back in his chair with eyes closed and a big smile on his face. He seemed to really be taking it in.
He opened his eyes and held out his hand, I introduced myself and then encouraged him about his weight loss. I really hope he sticks with it. I then went back and introduced myself to Dan's wife who was very nice and polite as well.
With the lady prostrate in front of Dan I thought of this quote Thomas merton once said, he explained: "It is a glorious destiny to be a member of the human race, ... now I realize what we all are .... If only they [people] could all see themselves as they really are ...I suppose the big problem would be that we would fall down and worship each other ".
As Dan pronounced sickness and our hands freezing so we couldn't type, the crowd roared with approval. This verse came to mind:
Rev 11:7-10 "7 When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our[c] Lord was crucified. 9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow[d] their dead bodies to be put into graves. 10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth."
Keep in mind when the rapture happens, we won't be missed. Also bear in mind, if the Lords glory hit this room last night no one would be on their feet. You would not have the teens texting like I observed last night when this supposed 'glory' came, or women talking quietly on their cell phones.
I will leave you with more of Dan Bohi's words: "Pastors don't invite me unless they are desperate for the glory". What 'glory' would that be Dan? It's certainly not God's glory who is revealed in scripture.
2 Thessalonians 2:3a (New King James Version) Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first Also Eph 5:11-14.

Seriously, Tim!?!? Did he seriously say that about Concerned Nazarenes being sick and getting diseased hands!?!?
That smacks of Benny Hinn's talk about having a "Holy Ghost machine gun" when people like Hank Hannegraaff were calling him out about his doctrine.
That's not Christian. Not at all.
Yes J Dean he did call down sickness and the frozen hand comment was associated with what Dan was attempting to preach that night. 1 kings 13:4. The worst thing was thw audience applauding as well as laughing. But the topper was when I went up to speak to Dan there was a woman kneeling and bowed down straight to the floor face down in front of Dan one hand on each of his feet. I will never forget the look on his face with head leaned back on his chair eyes closed and a big grin on his face. I've been around TBN folk in my early days as a believer and have to say I've never witnessed this before. Plus when Rob McCorkle introduced Dan who stated"honor a prophet with applause". Dan was into a lot about listening to "the voice" which is his latest tape. Not sure what voice Dan is listening to its not the God revealed in scripture though. Many of the falls when Dan was slaying people in the spirit were faked with Dan coaching them down. They were falling in obedience to Dan. My prayer was God just show me what's real here and if its your will just let it go on. No glory here teens texting,a woman talking (softly) on a cell phone. And by the way I typed this so no worries here. Maybe the god Dan knows is on vacation with Morgan Freedman. At least I was glad it was not like a Todd Bentley event even though Todd has been defended by Dans camp. Yes people are hungry for revival but to see what they are buying shows the Great Deception is here please check your brain and discernment at the door.
J Dean take a listen to this Bohi recording on listening to "the voice" I would be interested in your thoughts.

This guy is coming to my church Sunday Monday & Tuesday by one of his students. Can you help me prepare
Anyone can contact me about Dan Bohi at my email nogoofyzone@hotmail.com. we are currently filming a documentary on the false signs and wonders movement Manny and I did a segment on Dan Bohi and the Nazarene denomination. Dan preaches that Jesus could not perform miracles without the Holy Spirit. He teaches that Jesus laid His Godhood aside by these comments. Dan is professing heresy that Jesus was not fully God but yet fully man. Besides the heresy Dan preaches they quote Bresee totally out of context to promote their Fire School agenda. These folks practice willful deception ans we will show the actual Bresee quote instead of their distortion. We don't spend to much time on Dans poot stewardship, multiple bankrupcies, and civil suits filed against him. If you want to see where Dan gets his material just Google Bill Johnson Bethel Church. Dan listens to Bills voice not Gods. Plus if you think you can sell the spiritual gifts for 65.00 per person you many want to ask Simon the magician in the book of Acts how that worked out for him. Peter refused to sell the gifts which is a sovreign work of the Holy Spirit something you can't get from Dan Bohi. Dans focus is on man not God
You can also go to our new false signs and wonders series that I just posted. It has a special section just for the Nazazarene denomination featuring Manny Silva and I.
