    The New Deal Kingdom

    "Upon the men of this time is breaking the light of a new social order. The outstanding fact of today is the rediscovery of the kingdom of God. To the world this comes almost as a new revelation from heaven. For eighteen hundred years men have believed in this kingdom and have prayed for its coming; but now at last conception of its meaning becomes larger and more true. We are coming to see that the kingdom of God in Christ's conception never means anything less than a righteous human society on earth. Christ has come, not to condemn the world, but to save the world. He has come to reveal a kingdom in heaven and to realize a kingdom on earth. He has come not alone to save people out of the world and fill them for a far-away heaven; but to make a heaven here. He has come not to patch up human society and make the world a little less intolerable for men; but to make all things new and to create a new social order."
    (Samuel Z. Batten, The New World Order, 1919, p. 4-5) [emphasis added]

    Global Dominionism: Past and Present

     By Discernment Research Group

     
    Rick Warren and his Global P.E.A.C.E. Plan are getting a free ride from the "liberal" media establishment. Surprisingly, this is happening despite the increasingly dominionist rhetoric calling for a "Second Reformation" and "advancing" the kingdom. By merging his global agenda with the likes of rock star Bono, and popular social causes, Warren has virtually guaranteed that his pursuits would be applauded without in-depth inspection by the mainstream press.

    The Local Church Movement

    The Local Church Movement (a.k.a. The Lord’s Recovery)

    Mishel

     The Local Church Movement was founded by Witness Lee (1905-1977) who imported his belief system from the orient to America during the 1960’s. Lee was a disciple of the Christian Evangelist Watchman Nee (1903- 1973) and believed he was the spokesman for God on earth through direct commissioning.  Until his death, Lee led approximately 150, 000 adherents in strict observance of the teachings he claimed he received as direct oracles from God. This movement’s beliefs are vastly different from those held by orthodox Christians which lead most Christian Apologists to label the movement a cult. 

    The Coming Presence Movement- Should we be Alarmed?

    According to their website, the next phase of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is the United States Apostolic Alliance (USAA). Usapostolicalliance.org Dutch Sheets is one of four men in leadership over the USAA under presiding Apostle C. Peter Wagner. It is Wagner’s desire to organize a global church under a hierarchical network of apostles to take dominion and govern the global church and governments in order to take dominion of the world for Christ.

    The Coming Presence Movement- Enter Moses.

     In the first part of this two part article we discussed Dutch Sheets claiming that God visited him on June 15th 2008. During this alleged visitation “God” told him to host His presence for 90 days and to hold 3 days of worship starting September 11th through the 13th to mark the last three days of the 90 day period.  The 90 days would serve to incubate and mature the movement before it would be released mainstream. Enter Moses.

    A New Breed

    Newsletter by Jewel van der Merwe - Volume 1, Number 2 June 1990

    The thought of something “new” is always scintillating to the senses. In a society that from childhood is looking for a new fad, it is not surprising that a preposterous new doctrine would be sweeping the church. The most disconcerting aspect is that this time we can not question this doctrine. It must be accepted blindly as a “new revelation” coming from the “anointed” Last Day “prophets.” If we question, we are: (1) divisive, (2) have a “Jezebel spirit” and even, (3) called witches.

    "At first it may seem like totalitarianism"

    The following statement comes from Rick Joyner with Dutch Sheets on the June 19, 2007 Elijah List newsletter entitled "THE TRUE SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS ARE MOBILIZING. THE CHURCH IS ABOUT TO BE CLOTHED WITH A BEAUTY THAT IS BEYOND THIS WORLD!"

    A STRONG DELUSION - The New Apostolic Reformation

    Everyone hates a mosquito. There is just something infuriating about these little insects thinking they can suck our blood. In the natural, not one of us would stand and watch a mosquito draw our blood without swatting it away. However, in the spiritual, we the church are doing just that. There is a growing force sucking the life Blood out of us and we are welcoming them in and making them at home. However, far from harmless mosquitoes, these parasites are lethal. They are the reformers of the church, the new crusaders if you will, the gathers of the global church.  They are the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), and they are coming for your church.

    Joel's Army Now Recruiting

    Mishel

    More than ever before, today’s Church is enthusiastically exchanging sound Biblical doctrine for New-Age type revelations received by self styled prophets and apostles. These “new” revelations place more emphasis on visions and mystic experiences then they do on the Word of God. It is curious to me how anyone who has studied scripture can teach such blatantly misleading doctrines. One of the most deadly is that of the great and terrible end-time Army commonly referred to as Joel’s army. Today’s prophets and apostles such as Mike Bickle, Rick Joyner, Paul Cain, Bob Jones, Todd Bentley, Jack Deere, Chuck Pierce, C. Peter Wagner, and a host of others too numerous to mention, would have us believe that this army is a “New Breed” of believer that brings revival to the nations and conquers governments for the sake of righteousness.   Is this really scriptural? Let’s take a look.

    Why Latter Rain, and Dominion Theology is a Lie

    The latter rain movement as it has come to be called actually began in 1948 from a Pentecostal Assemblies of God revival in a ministry school in Saskatchewan Canada. The terms “New Order” and “Latter Rain” were coined from this movement. One of the main tenants of this new Latter Rain theology was the belief in the restoration of the ministry of the Apostle and Prophet to the modern day church. From that time on the idea that God was restoring these offices began to be disseminated first in the mainline Pentecostal churches and then in evangelical spirit filled churches as a whole.
