Matthew Taylor at Religion News Service:

(RNS) — This past month, a group of self-styled American Christian prophets released an urgent word from God on YouTube about an impending Islamic uprising in the U.S. Pointing to pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, they declared that an “insurrection is forming that is like unto the communist takeover in Russia. … This is not only about bringing a Palestinian state to the Middle East but an Islamic state to North America and other nations.”

The good news, according to these prophets, is that God also says, “If the church repents, I will relent. I will protect your nations.” If this God-speaking-through-prophets-and-warning-nations-about-other-religions business sounds fringy and oddball in modern Christianity, it once was. But such prophecies and these prophets are rapidly redefining mainstream American evangelical theology, practice and politics. They are affiliated with a movement called the New Apostolic Reformation, a set of leadership networks whose leaders call themselves modern-day apostles and prophets and believe they are commissioned by God to take over the world.

This NAR movement runs like a golden thread through recent flashpoints of evangelical Christian support for Donald Trump, Christian nationalism and Christian extremism. NAR leaders were central to the mobilization of Christians for the Jan. 6 insurrection, and many apostles, prophets and NAR symbols were present around the U.S. Capitol that day. NAR ideas helped inspire the recent controversy surrounding the Alabama Supreme Court in vitro fertilization ruling. House Speaker Mike Johnson flies a flag outside his office that is closely associated with the NAR’s aggressive prophetic politics. The reasonable objector may argue that all of those things might be true, and yet the NAR could still be a fringe movement. How much influence do NAR ideas have on broader American evangelicalism? It’s true that the NAR networks come from the amorphous nondenominational, charismatic sector of American evangelicalism that seeks to restore the supernatural dimensions of early Christianity. Historically these groups have been outside the evangelical mainstream.

But we have collected data showing just how far these NAR-associated beliefs and practices have spread within American evangelical communities. The present-day reach and influence of these ideas may be shocking to those acquainted with conventional evangelicalism. Charismatic theologies, NAR prophecies and radical politics that once operated on the margins of evangelicalism have moved to the center of the action. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this transformation has a lot to do with Donald Trump. 

[...] In the intervening decades, NAR ideas and leaders have become extremely popular in charismatic media, functioning as some of the top-tier thought leaders in the burgeoning nondenominational charismatic world. NAR networks also became increasingly politicized in the late 2000s, especially by a prophecy called the Seven Mountain Mandate, first formulated by NAR apostle (and Wagner mentee) Lance Wallnau.  The Seven Mountains prophecy imagines every society as having seven major arenas of influence — religion, family, education, government, media, entertainment and commerce — and the prophecy commands Christians to conquer the tops of each of these mountains so that Christian influence can flow down into broader society. Put simply, the Seven Mountain Mandate is a prophetically derived, systematic program for Christian supremacy. Shortly after Trump declared his candidacy for president in summer of 2015, he enlisted his friend and spiritual adviser, Paula White-Cain, a charismatic apostle and televangelist, “to be the bridge between him and evangelicals.” White-Cain began by inviting many of her fellow charismatic evangelical leaders — Messianic rabbis, televangelists, prophets, NAR apostles and megachurch pastors — to meet with Trump early in the campaign.

These were the first evangelical leaders to begin endorsing Trump, signing on to his policy agenda and offering theological rationales for choosing Trump over other, more conventionally evangelical candidates. The popular idea that Trump was anointed by God (like the ancient Persian emperor Cyrus) to be president and play a special role in protecting Christians was originally championed early in the 2016 campaign by none other than Wallnau, who was involved in the 2015 meetings organized by White-Cain.  A few months later Wagner himself endorsed Trump in early 2016, and Wallnau and the other NAR leaders became the chief Christian propagandists surrounding Trump with theology and prophecy. They have written books, created memes, prophetically appropriated symbolic pieces of Americana and launched massive prayer and spiritual warfare campaigns, all to see Trump victorious.  Charismatics, including a number of NAR apostles and prophets, have made up more than half of all of Trump’s evangelical advisory boards, including the new one for his 2024 campaign. In fact, these networks of NAR leaders were the central nervous system of Christian organizing and mobilization for Jan. 6, and many core NAR leaders, including Wallnau, were present at the Capitol that day.

Trumpism has fueled the rise of a very different breed of evangelical Christian movement: New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), NAR's tenets feature Seven Mountains Dominionism (7MD) and an aggressively Christian nationalist vision of America with a charismatic tinge.

Tipping Point of the Soul

The body of Christ has lost touch with holiness as a result of the lie many believe saying, “we are just human.” Or, “it’s human nature that we sin.” This simply does not line up with Scripture.

C. Peter Wagner once said, “The body of Christ needs to re-discover holiness.” He went on to say, “There’s one movement that really understands holiness. The problem is, they don’t talk about it. That movement… the Wesleyan movement.” He made this statement in the early days of establishing the Wagner Leadership Institute. It was also a time corresponding with the birth of what we now call the…

Los músicos; JESUS ADRIAN ROMERO, MARCOS WITT entre otros. Los escritores C. PETER WAGNER, , ANA MENDEZ FARREL, BERNARDO STAMATEAS entre otros. Fueron los primeros en caer en manos de los jesuitas para ser instruidos a fin de que perviertan la fe de los evangélicos tibios. Luego seguirán pastores de menor renombre, ellos serán imitadores de grandes apóstatas como BENNY HINN, CASH LUNA, GUILLERMO MALDONADO, DANTE GEBEL entre otros. Serán muchisimos los que dejarán sus humildes iglesias locales caer bajos los pies del Papa, viéndose rodeado por todos lados de apostasia, no sabrán a donde recurrir y terminarán mezclados con la cizaña. Una ínfima minoria sera preservada como un pequeño rebaño hasta que el dia del Arrebatamiento, pero asfixiados sin poder crecer y manteniéndose en pie con la fuerza del Espiritu Santo, pero sin ninguna ayuda del "evangelismo oficial", caido masivamente en apostasia, de ellos solo obtendrán rechazo por no "adaptarse" a las nuevas "tendencias" (Evangelio de la Prosperidad, Confesión positiva, G12, Movimiento Apostólico y profético, que en si son todos lo mismo, cortados por la mima tijera).

ECUMENISMO - APOSTASIA FINAL

El cristianismo liberal se encuentra en casi todas las denominaciones, y aunque pueda parecer cristiano, generalmente rechaza muchas verdades esenciales. Los liberales suelen negar o subestimar la inspiración y la autoridad de la Biblia (2 Timoteo 3:16), el carácter exclusivo de la salvación en Cristo (Juan 14:6; 1 Timoteo 2:5), y la completa dependencia en la gracia de Dios para la salvación, aparte de las obras humanas (Romanos 3:24, 28; Gálatas 2:16; Efesios 2:8-9). Y el catolicismo romano ya sabemos lo que es (La Gran Ramera) Los ecuménicos se unen detrás de doctrinas falsas, como APOSTATAS y FALSOS MAESTROS que son, y el estar juntos deja en claro cual es su rol en términos religiosos y espirituales en estos Tiempos Finales.

Kiera Butler at Mother Jones (06.11.2024):

During the contentious confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, a self-appointed Christian apostle named Dutch Sheets issued an urgent call for prayer on his website. Sheets is a leader in an enigmatic charismatic movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation, which calls the faithful to fight a spiritual war for Christian control of the United States government. He urged his readers to ask God to grant them “a majority of Justices who are Constitutionalists, literalists (meaning they believe the Constitution is to be taken literally, exactly as it is written) and who are pro-life.” He added, “Let’s also boldly ask Him for another vacancy on the Court soon—I feel strongly in my spirit another is coming quickly. We should be offensive in our prayers, not just defensive and reactionary.”

Apostles, prayer offensives, spiritual messages—by most standards, Sheets’ approach to politics would be considered highly eccentric, to put it mildly. Yet among adherents of the New Apostolic Reformation, the idea that God was involved in anointing justices had already gained traction. Another influential apostle, a Texas-based, self-described “strategist, futurist, and compelling communicator” named Lance Wallnau, declared in a 2018 broadcast that the accusations of rape against Kavanaugh were a “spiritual attack.” The previous year in a YouTube video, apostle and Trump campaign adviser Frank Amedia recounted how, “at 3:30 in the morning, the Lord showed me a broom going up and down the pillars of the Supreme Court building.” The message was clear: God wanted to sweep out the old justices—especially the liberal ones—to make room for new Christian ones. In the midst of the chaos surrounding Justice Kavanaugh’s nomination, the apostles’ visions of a Christian Supreme Court didn’t get much mainstream attention—until they did. Over the last few years, the Christian nationalist movement has gained political prominence, as its influential members have sought to make the case for an explicitly Christian society in public schools, social policy, and even in Congress, led by the ultraconservative and devout House speaker Mike Johnson.

Against this cultural backdrop, calls for a godly Supreme Court have moved beyond the echo chamber of the far-right fringe. Last month, the New York Times broke a series of stories about flags displayed at the homes of US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. Outside of Alito’s main residence was an upside-down American flag, a symbol associated with the effort to overturn the 2020 US presidential election. At his vacation home in New Jersey, the Times’ Jodi Kantor later reported, was an “Appeal to Heaven” flag showing a lone pine tree, an old icon that had been revived by none other than Dutch Sheets. (As it turned out, the flag belonged to Alito’s wife, Martha Ann.) Leonard Leo, the deep-pocketed conservative kingmaker who has extended his largesse to several Supreme Court justices and their families, has also flown the “Appeal to Heaven” flag outside his home in Maine, Rolling Stone recently reported. Perhaps more troubling than the flags, though, is that the idea of promoting a Christian nation seems to be seeping into some of the justices’ legal arguments. Elliot Mincberg, an attorney and Supreme Court researcher at the progressive advocacy group People for the American Way, has documented ways in which some members of the Court espouse the popular evangelical belief that Christians are being persecuted and therefore must be defended. “The far-right majority of Court is very much in the same view as the New Apostolic Reformation folks about religion, about government,” he says. “And, frankly, about the hostility of government to religion.”

[...] One common misconception about the New Apostolic Reformation is that it is a Protestant denomination, like Baptists or Presbyterians. When I first started researching this movement, I googled “New Apostolic Reformation church near me,” naively thinking that I could pop into a service and perhaps ask a pastor to explain the sect. What I quickly discovered, though, is that there is no single leader of the New Apostolic Reformation, no annual conference, nor any website with its statements of belief. Rather, the movement is vast and amorphous, a network of various individual prophets and apostles overseeing their own ministries and issuing prophetic declarations as they go along. It’s safe to say that many people who attend a church whose leaders dabble in the theology promoted by the New Apostolic Reformation have never heard of it. The movement came out of the older and more well-known tradition of Pentecostalism, whose adherents believe that God grants some believers the ability to perform miracles and speak in tongues. The term “New Apostolic Reformation” was coined in the 1990s by an influential evangelical writer named C. Peter Wagner, though the term didn’t get much national attention until a few decades later.

In 2011, National Public Radio’s Terry Gross interviewed a scholar of religion about the movement and referred to Wagner as its “leading architect.” In a rebuttal piece for the Christian publisher Charismatic News, Wagner emphasized that he was not the movement’s leader—because it had none. Rather, he said, it was a coming together of several sects that shared a belief that God appointed apostles and prophets. He noted that it was the duty of Christians to engage in spiritual warfare to establish “kingdom-minded people in every one of the Seven Mountains: Religion, Family, Education, Government, Media, Arts & Entertainment, and Business so that they can use their influence to create an environment in which the blessings and prosperity of the Kingdom of God can permeate all areas of society.”  This doctrine—sometimes known as the Seven-Mountain Mandate—is a central tenet in the New Apostolic Reformation. Many of the most prominent apostles today—Texas business consultant Lance Wallnau, for instance, as well as Korean-American Pastor Ché Ahn of Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, California—regularly preach about its importance. Today, estimates of the number of people whose churches are influenced by the New Apostolic Reformation vary widely, from 3 million to 33 million. Because of the movement’s laser focus on starting a spiritual war to Christianize America, the Southern Poverty Law Center recently called the New Apostolic Reformation “the greatest threat to US democracy that you have never heard of.”

One other distinguishing feature of the New Apostolic Reformation is the belief that God is still communicating directly with people through modern-day prophets, who preach about the messages directly from God that they receive, often in dreams. Since 2016, many of the most publicized prophesies have concerned former president Trump, whom they see as chosen by God. The “Appeal to Heaven” flag that Dutch Sheets popularized was flown by many attendees at the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the Capitol insurrection of January 6, 2021; a few months before, Sheets told his followers that the results of the presidential election were “going to be overturned and President Trump is going to be put back in office for four years.” In 2022, Sheets said that Trump had told him in a dream that he would be a “political martyr” because, he had said, loosely quoting the Bible, “‘God has put the tools in me to tear down, root up, and confront the system.’”

[...] In March, Jauregui instructed his followers to “[p]ray that the Lord would be glorified through the remainder of the Supreme Court session and accompanying decisions.” Some Christian groups are doing more than praying; they’re filing amicus briefs— documents submitted by people outside of a given case who believe their expertise may help the justices in their deliberations. The briefs can be influential. In a landmark ruling last year on affirmative action in higher education, for example, legal scholars noted that a brief from the US military strongly influenced the justices to exempt military academies from the new rules. Previously, those who wanted to file an amicus brief with the Supreme Court had to obtain permission from lawyers on either side of the case in question. That requirement was dropped in early 2023; now anyone can file, as long as their lawyer is a member of the US Supreme Court bar. The amicus floodgates then opened, and included in the onslaught of briefs for the current roster of cases were some whose authors had explicitly Christian Nationalist ties. Condemned USA submitted a brief in support of President Trump in the immunity case. Describing its mission as “preserving your rights and freedoms by defending against a weaponized system of justice for all American citizens and future generations,” it is led by January 6th insurrectionist Treniss Evans, who has appeared at live and virtual events with New Apostolic Reformation prophets. Another brief in support of Trump came from the Christian Family Coalition, a Florida nonprofit that says it is “intensely involved in the political process to secure its goals in the public interest.” Among its current projects is advocating for chaplains in Florida’s public schools.

The Mother Jones piece on SCOTUS and Christian Nationalism’s harmful influence on the court is a must-read.

With the success of A Nightmare on  Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), following the critical failure of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985), New line Cinema firmly cemented Freddy Krueger and A Nightmare on Elm Street as one of the most iconic horror franchises of its time. Not only does Dream Warriors feature Robert Englund continuing to breathe both humor and fear into Freddy Krueger but also the return of both Heather Langenkamp and John Saxon from the original. The film also features Craig Wasson (Ghost Story) as the male lead and early film roles for Patricia Arquette and Larry Fishburne. Frank Darabont (The Mist) and Bruce Wagner join Wes Craven on scripting chores and Chuck Russell (The Blob, The Mask) directs while Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet) provides the score – a winning combination of talent. Surely a Grue-Crew highly recommended selection with special effects by Greg Cannom, Doug Beswick, Mark Shostrom, Kevin Yagher, and more!

Because she grew up in the public eye, Emma originally had a lot of hesitations about showing off her body.

Grâce à la prière d’intercession, vous pouvez venir en aide à vos conducteurs spirituels en demandant à Dieu de leur assurer force et protection, *Si nous ne prions pas – si la prière d’intercession fait défaut – la toute puissance manifeste de Dieu est souvent étouffée dans la vie et le ministère de nos conducteurs*.

New 'Christian Supremacist' Movement Poses Biggest Threat to Democracy According to Southern Poverty Law Center

An organized and powerful movement of fundamentalists is ready to end democracy

Troy Matthews- Meidas Touch Network

A movement of right-wing Christian fundamentalists called the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) was formed in 2022 with the intention of overthrowing the United States government and replacing every single facet of U.S. society with Christian authoritarianism. 

The NAR adheres to Dominionist philosophy, which Frederick Clarkson of Political Research Associates defines as "the theocratic idea that Christians are called by God to exercise dominion over every aspect of society by taking control of political and cultural institutions."

The leaders of NAR declared publicly in 2022 they had "been given legal power and authority from Heaven," and claimed to be "God’s ambassadors and spokespeople over the earth," who "are equipped and delegated by Him to destroy every attempted advance of the enemy."

While Dominionist Christianity has been a prominent force on the American right for decades, they were always content to exert influence on U.S. politics from the sidelines, opting for the long-game. The overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 was the result of a coordinated effort to elevate right-wing judges aligned with their ideology to the Supreme Court. That took five decades to achieve the intended outcome.

This new breed of fundamentalist is much less patient, calling for the immediate ascension of their movement to the highest levers of power, and the destruction of anyone who stands in their way, whom they label "the enemy."

C. Peter Wagner, who came up with the term New Apostolic Reformation, has said, "What dominion means is that we are the head and not the tail of our society. It’s a rulership and we rule as kings."

The 2022 declaration, known as the "Watchman's Decree," was issued publicly at a church in Georgia in a video that has since gone viral. The "prayer" featured congregants chanting that "America shall be saved."

According to SPLC, "NAR’s goal is to disrupt religion and politics, and in the wake of that disruption, fill the void with Christian supremacy. Just as there has been economic disruption over the past two decades, there has also been political disruption in the form of Trumpian politics and the MAGA movement."

NAR also has the goal of ending denominationalism in American Christianity, by installing NAR aligned pastors in multiple different denominations, with the goal of ending church democratic practices and promoting the absolute authority of the so-called “apostolic” pastors.

From there, the movement has designs on destroying public education and dominating government by enforcing apostolic "guardian" oversight of elected officials, essentially creating an un-elected theocratic shadow government with the power to overrule elected officials.

A big target of the group is LGBTQ individuals, whom NAR leaders refer to as demonic. Also viewed as demonic enemies are Democrats, liberals, and religions they view outside "Judeo-Christian" heritage such as Islam.

Unsurprisingly, NAR leaders have been heavy backers of Donald Trump. Trump is viewed within the movement as a kind-of prophet whose mission from God is to sow chaos in American government long enough for the apostolic movement to seize control. Within the movement, Trump is referred to as "God's chaos candidate." Several NAR members were present at the attack on the Capitol on January 6th. 

Trump frequently echoes the language of NAR in reference to his self-described enemies, for example calling those who oppose him "evil demonic forces that want to destroy our country," and stating that President Biden is controlled by "very evil forces."
