Here's a glimpse into what the NAR is about:
One of the New Apostolic
Reformation’s (NAR) founders, C.
Peter Wagner, and its leaders like HRock’s Che Ahn, deny the
absolute sufficiency and authority of Scripture. Built on false
prophets and prophecies, it has an occultic aspect (personal psychic
readings aka "personal prophetic word"), along with the "signs",
"wonders", "prophets", "apostles" and their
"authority" over people not in their own churches. They also believe
in grave soaking (going to graves to get an anointing from the dead). It was
born out of the Charismatic Movement and the Word of Faith Movement.
NAR believes that by influencing every area (as they see it) of society, it will bring Jesus down to earth (hence their "7 Mountains" of influence they seek to take dominion in: government, arts, finances, education, religion, family, and entertainment/media).
"Wagner’s eschatology is also based on marketing’s
“critical mass” theory — he believes that when they (his NAR) “restore” this
“kingdom” and enforce “his will be done on earth” that then the
paradigm will shift. He says “when that
happens enough, Jesus will return.”
This is parallel to the esoteric (New Age) idea that there will
be a cosmic spiritual shift where
man becomes a co-creator in his own destiny, and a co-redeemer of the planet
earth. Elsewhere on
this blog we have written extensively about this view.
In this eschatology the return of Jesus hinges upon everyone on the planet
become aligned to the kingdom shift.
The NAR’s impotent Jesus is stuck in heaven. He can’t act until we reach a
planetary “critical mass.” Which also accounts for the frenetic prayer warfare
activity to try to bring heaven to earth."
But the biblical Christ Jesus said:
John 18:36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If
my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I
might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”
2Co 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.
2Co 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
The book of Revelations also shows how utterly degenerate and destructive the Tribulation will be at the very end of history. The last three and a half years of the Tribulation under the rule of the Lawless One will be horrific as he commands all people to take the mark of the beast and worship him. The judgements of God will fall down on all humanity, and even then, they will refuse to submit to God and repent, and instead gnash their teeth in rage against Him. We also see the slaughter of the believers during the Tribulation, for the sake of the testimony of Jesus---this is hardly the pagan utopia NAR is trying to sell people.
2Ti 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Feminist occultic mystics have no place to lead our country (I saw one trying in the state of California, running for state senator as a Republican). Their minds are not working properly as they have openly submitted to the occult and mystic practices and are deceitful on many levels.
