The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a dominionist movement which asserts that God is restoring the lost offices of church governance, namely the offices of Prophet and Apostle. Leading figures in this seemingly loosely organized movement claim that these prophets and apostles alone have the power and authority to execute God’s plans and purposes on […]

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn has teamed up again with Rodney Howard Browne to bring NAR Dominionism (that’s the Right-Wing kind) to Washington D.C.

It is a time when millions of people of all religions stop what they are doing and pray in unity with […]
Steven Kozar claims that Dr. Michael Brown lost all credibility on his Facebook wall by choosing to become a “cheerleader” for false teachers. Sadly, Dr. Brown, who is a highly regarded Bible scholar and host of The Line of Fire, has declined to compare the teaching of those who teach doctrines of devils (1 Tim […]
