Leaving the NAR Church: Sadie’s story
“I felt like someone was guiding me. I saw the throne of God, the houses all a jeweled, and people walking over the gold bridges while beautiful streams flowed.” After visions of heaven, young Sadie’s experience (which she thought was from God), soon devolved into horrific nightmares, depression, and attempted suicide. She has allowed me […]
Leaving the NAR Church: Danette’s story
“The hardest part about leaving a NAR church is that you are broken and enslaved BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW IT – because every time you turn around, someone is preaching ‘Jesus.’ And nobody wants to leave Jesus.” The Jesus Danette worshipped as a child was a counterfeit. She has allowed me to include her […]
Leaving the NAR Church: Kent’s story
“We spoke glowingly of the “revivals” in Toronto and Florida. We wanted to be “drunk in the Spirit” like they were. In one service, the pastor’s message was about how the signs of the Zodiac told the story of the Gospel. I think there may have been one Scripture reference, taken way out of context, […]

Leaving the NAR Church: Catrina’s story
“We ladies had a morning of being taught how to prophesy. We were told to tell ourselves, ‘I’m going to start prophesying, even if I have to start in the flesh.’” Catrina has moved from church to church between Australia and New Zealand, always having to leave as the N.A.R. infection spread. In this series, […]
Leaving the NAR Church: Jack’s story
“They revel in false prophecies and the greedy liars who give them. They have rejected the Word and me as the giver of the loving truth to them.” Jack’s friends are lost to a counterfeit movement that goes by many names. But by God’s Grace, Jack and his wife have found freedom in the Word […]
Leaving the NAR Church: Lydia’s story
We sent her there with our blessing and financial support, gone from us for a year without contact for the most part and under their influence and NAR teaching. Our solid home church, pastors and elders, supported and sent her off with their blessing as well. Lydia’s loved one was exposed and indoctrinated to the […]
