Heads Up: Prayer Warriors and Sarah Palin Are Organizing Spiritual Warfare to Take Over America
The New Apostolic Reformation, the largest religious movement you've never heard of, aims to take control of communities through 'prayer warriors.'

March 1, 2010 |


Imagine a religious movement that makes geographic maps of where demons reside and claims among its adherents the Republican Party's most recent vice presidential nominee and whose leaders have presided over prayer sessions (one aimed at putting the kibosh on health-care reform) with a host of leading GOP figures.

It's a movement whose followers played a significant role in the battle over Proposition 8, California's anti-same-sex marriage initiative, and Uganda's infamous proposed Anti-Homosexuality Law, more commonly associated with the Family, a religious network of elites drawn from the ranks of business and government throughout the world. But the movement we're imagining encompasses the humble and the elite alike, supporting a network of "prayer warriors” in all 50 states, within the ranks of the U.S. military, and at the far reaches of the globe -- all guided by an entire genre of books, texts, videos and other media.

Imagine that, and you've just dreamed up the New Apostolic Reformation, the largest religious movement you've never heard of.

NAR's videos, according to researcher Rachel Tabachnick, "demonstrate the taking control of communities and nations through large networks of 'prayer warriors' whose spiritual warfare is used to expel and destroy the demons that cause societal ills. Once the territorial demons, witches, and generational curses are removed, the 'born-again' Christians in the videos take control of society." ..........(more)

1. Why is it...the most unChristian people in this country

are always involved in a religious movement. None of those who probably join this horrific confab have a Christian bone or thought in their body. they only do this to rope in the gullible who think it is really religious. These religious nuts are so stupid they would follow the devil if he said it was religious warfare. They must be such sinners that they latch on to anything that has a religious title, cause they are afraid they are going to Hades. Has to be.

3. Good

As long as they're preoccupied with running all over the place directing high energy prayer weapons at invisible alien monsters, they shouldn't cause much of a problem for the rest of us. Unfortunately, once they're networked, acting out imaginary violence is usually only the first step for wack-jobs like this.
