There has been some discussion as to whether New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) leader Lance Wallnau is an "apostle" or merely a "prophet." NAR Apostle Che Ahn's website clears this up. He's an apostle. h/t @FredClarkson archive.ph/U9Pn6 1/ Image
The "NAR," it's a dominionist movement. Dominionism is the belief that Christians have a mandate from God to control all aspects of government and culture. I've written about the NAR, dominionism, & NAR apostle Lance Wallnau many times, starting here. 2/ buckscountybeacon.com/2022/08/underr…
"Apostle" is a higher position than "prophet." It may seem like an irrelevant detail, but it isn't because it shows how influential he is within the movement. 3/

Roger Stone continues his courtship of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), a network of Christian extremist leaders who promote dominionism, the idea that Christians have a mandate from God to control all aspects of society. Steve Schultz of Elijah Streams is a NAR leader. 1/ Image

🧵So.... all this talk about about Christian Nationalism & The Seven Mountains Mandate has forced Andrew Wommack's Truth & Liberty Coalition to re-brand. see before and after openings to their show. A thread 1/ twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Pastor Mark Cowart pastor of Church for All Nations and teacher at Charis Bible College tries to explain the "misunderstanding of the 7 Mountains", poorly I might add. Wallnau must be losing it right now. #7M #NAR 2/
Then he talks about not liking labels.... for apostles & prophets. Which is a staple for New Apostolic Reformation. Like I said, rebranding. Same goals, some changing in messaging. Do not be fooled.

I was happy to be interviewed, & I think @7im did a very fair job of writing about the complex case of Derrick Peterson, a former sheriff deputy & candidate for Portland's school board who was commissioned as an apostle by Ché Ahn in 2020.
rollingstone.com/politics/polit… 1/
Ché Ahn also listed Peterson as an advisory board member at 1Race4Life, an anti-abortion/racial-reconciliation org that he founded in 2020 after George Floyd's murder. web.archive.org/web/2021120511…. 2/
Last week Oregon Live ran a story where Peterson downplayed his 2020 apostolic commissioning & said he "is not affiliated" with 1Race4Life. oregonlive.com/education/2023…. Since then he was removed from Ahn's site & the 1Race4Life site has gone dark. What is going on here? 3/

Sean Feucht is a dominionist musician. He is everywhere: “Our goal: Global dominion of the Kingdom in every nation, tribe, & tongue.” America needs to wake the f#ck up to the threat of Christo-fascism. 1/

This piece (in @ConversationEDU) asks whether churches like #Hillsong are unexpectedly shrinking in Australia. It suggests this based on a 2021 census that found “Pentecostal” identfication declined slightly (2%) from 2016 to 2021. I have questions... 1/ theconversation.com/were-told-pent…
1st a caveat that I’m not an expert in Australian #Pentecostalism or on #Hillsong, & I’d welcome comments/thoughts from experts/insiders there. So on to my questioning: Is Hillsong “Pentecostal”? Colloquially, sure, it’s Pentecostal-Charismatic & emerged out of Pentecostalism. 2/
In 2018, Hillsong announced that it was forming it’s own “denomination” in Australia hillsong.com/collected/blog… and officially separating from the Australian Christian Churches (the Australian branch of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship), a global Pentecostal denomination. 3/

Dear @followsadies: It’s actually TRUE. Your popular Jan. 6 map literally stated, “We the People must take to the US Capitol … steps.” The Capitol steps were off limits. If u blindly copied from Ali Alexander or others, that’s on YOU. @TheJusticeDept 1/
Here’s the article that concerned u enuf to lie about it. It exposes ur involvement w/ Jan. 6. You thought millions of angry Trump supporters were coming to DC & that it was a good idea to send them to the Capitol steps bc that’s not dangerous at all. 🙄 2/buckscountybeacon.com/2022/10/domini…

This is such an important analytical question abt the #AsburyRevival /#asburyrevival2023: Why are both left-leaning & right-wing Evangelicals eager to endorse it? I’ve been puzzling over it & have a few thoughts (@BradleyOnishi & @StraightWhiteJC can speak for themselves). 1/
Truthfully, I was invited to write a 1000-word OpEd on the #AsburyRevival that I mothballed on Friday, bc I realized I don’t have a “take” yet on it. Or, rather, I have endless *takes* but no thesis. The events at AsburyU the past 2 wks have been an Evangelical Rorschach test. 2/
When I was still Evangelical, I inhabited left-leaning Evang spaces (InterVarsity & Fuller Seminary google.com/books/edition/…) & also many right-wing env’ts. We have to remember that left-leaning Evangs are still Evangelicals, & *revival* has a mesmerizing quality for Evangs. 3/

Evangelical twitter is atwit about the #AsburyRevival. Per @drleahpayne, this Methodist school has a history of such outbreaks. I thought I'd offer some history on how the #NewApostolicReformation reacted to something similar 15 yrs ago at Lakeland, FL. 1/
What I tried to capture in my Charismatic Revival Fury series (icjs.org/charismatic-re…) is that the #NewApostolicReformation & Charismatic folks in general are magnetized to the idea of revival, the extraordinary inbreaking of divine-power manifestations in the mundane world. 2/
One semi-recent such magnetic event occurred, in April 2008, in Lakeland, FL. Pastor Stephen Strader of Ignited Church invited Canadian evangelist Todd Bentley to lead a 1-week revival. wrldrels.org/2016/10/08/flo… But the 1 wk extended to 4 mos of nightly mtngs led by Bentley. 3/

A picture of the reconfigured Religious Right since the Trump era: Congress intervened to take the Nat’l Prayer Breakfast away from the controversial Fellowship Fndn (aka The Family), so an alternate right-wing event moved to the Museum of the Bible. No surprises so far. 1/
Tony Perkins (FRC) opened w/ a prayer. No surprises so far. Then Perkins handed it off to his co-host Jim Garlow, a key Indep. Charismatic Trump advisor w/ deep ties to the #NAR. He led the “Election Integrity Prayer Calls” in late 2020, a key organizing force for #January6th. 2/
Garlow intro’d a theme of repentance, and then had an (evidently Xn) man blowing a shofar, dressed in a tallit (Jewish prayer shawl). This Xn appropriation of Jewish liturgical symbols comes out of the Indep. Charismatic sector, and was key to the Xn symbolism of #January6th. 3/ ImageImage

A minor tremor in Independent Charismatic-land this month that shows the uncertainty of this post-/mid-Trumpian moment: Mario Murillo, 1 of the big 4 panelists on Kenneth Copeland's "Flashpoint" declared (via blog) he was taking a hiatus from the show. mariomurillo.org/2023/01/17/mar… 1/
Murillo is a big deal. He's a respected Evangelist. He was the preacher who Bill Johnson credits with actually converting a young Bill. Murillo's been around for decades, but as "Flashpoint"'s star rose after the 2020 election, he became a leading Trumpy prophetic voice. 2/
The top "Flashpoint" prophetic panelists (often interspersed with other guests) are Lance Wallnau, Dutch Sheets, Mario Murillo, and Hank Kunneman. Host Gene Bailey seems to be angling to take over Kenneth Copeland's whole shop. 3/

Because #NewApostolicReformation leaders have close ties to Messianic Judaism & Christian Zionism, it’s rare that you’d find explicit pro-Nazi comments from them. More often, if they’re going to reference Nazism, they cast their enemies as Nazis & themselves as victims of Nazism.
Yes, you can find ties bw #NAR leaders and white nationalists, but those are rarely overt. A lot of NAR-originating prophetic memes (like #AppealtoHeaven flags) have a sort of patriotic/godly, universal-adapter quality, so other movements can grab them and plug & play.
One very strange (& explicit) Dutch Sheets “Nazi” reference was “Operation Valkyrie,” and was part of his post-2020 prophecy tour. It’s a prophetic dream/prophetic meme I really wanted to get into in Charismatic Revival Fury, but it was a real rabbit hole.

Here's an interesting find abt Fivefold/Dominion Theology & the leadup to the #NAR (@FredClarkson @brucewilson @ulyankee1 @visionsurreal) I found a flyer for Maranatha World Leadership Conf (12/29/85–1/2/86). Workshops include: 1) C. Peter Wagner, "The Dynamics of Church Growth;"
2) Larry Tomczak (of People of Destiny), "Principles for Building a Thriving Church;" 3) Dennis Peacocke (eventually on ICA apost. council), "Dominion: A Vision for the Church;" 4) Rice Broocks (member of Wagner's New Apostolic Roundtable), "Apostolic Vision for Your Church"
Plus a series of workshops titled "Reformation of Society: Taking Dominion in Every Area of Life" with sessions on THE ARTS, EDUCATION, HISTORY, MEDIA, SCIENCE, MUSIC, LAW (7 total, though diff. list from the eventual 7 Mountains).

I'm not an expert on Brazilian Pentecostalism & defer to those who are, but I know that the recent election there had many similar features to what I discuss in Charismatic Revival Fury & #Jan6: spirit. warfare invocations, Manichean declarations by Evang/ Pentecostal leaders 1/3
against left-wing opponents, & conscious stoking of these forces by #Bolsonaro and his family. religionnews.com/2022/09/27/bol… I also know that the apostolic network model discussed in our series (whether you call it #NAR or not) has really taken hold among Evangs/Pentecostals there. 2/3
As we are watching events unfold with rioting and storming of govt buildings in #Brasilia, one of the crucial analytical questions going forward is: what role did relig leaders play in instigating this and what were the theologies they used in doing so? #ChristianNationalism 3/3
