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

IMPORTANT UPDATE from the #January6thCommittee materials: the good news for listeners of Charismatic Revival Fury is they did have the #WhiteHouse visitor logs that I ended the series pining for. The bad news is they only released select dates: govinfo.gov/app/details/GP…
They evidently decided to only release the logs from dates relevant to the material referenced in the #January6thReport (Dec 12 - Jericho March, Dec 14 - Electoral College, Dec 18 - nutjob Flynn/Lawyers meeting, Dec 21 - MTG, et al. meeting, & Jan 3-5 - leadup to #January6th).
So the Dutch Sheets prophecy meeting on Dec 29th isn't in there. For those coming in late to this conversation or who haven't listened to our Charismatic Revival Fury audio-documentary series (you should!), this is what I'm talking about: religiondispatches.org/evidence-stron…
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).
