The New Apostolic Reformation is a growing movement thatattracts many to its teachings and practices. While some deny its existence, others deflect whether it is an organization or a movement. Join…
or we're talking about this month, about how competing views of authority revelation and spiritual experiences are affecting the church.
You know, many Christians, as we know, are hearing about apostles, prophets, revival, impartation, prophetic words, fresh revelation, without understanding where these ideas come from and how they shape people's ideas of truth and authority.
We're going to talk about the influence of the New Apostolic Reformation, or the NAR, the rise of prophetic culture, and why Christians must remain grounded in the authority and sufficiency of God's Word, rather than spiritual experiences, charismatic personalities, or claims of modern apostolic reformation.
I do think that with the rise of what you pointed out with this view of modern day apostles and prophets and supernatural experiences and that being very much highlighted, that is a growing trend and a growing issue in what's going on.
Because people have concerns as far as this movement is concerned, misunderstandings about it, and even false categorizations and things.
Because when they say they don't know what it is or that, you know, they're trying to deflect and say, well, it's not an organization, which I don't know anybody that's when they're talking about the NAR says it's an organization, but they're trying to deflect from that or they just may not be knowledgeable about it enough to speak on the matter.
It's something that's becoming more and more evident and especially where we've seen the past few years with The scandals that have happened.
And again, I know the scandals are not exclusive to this movement because sin and things are not exclusive to the NAR.
But when you're talking about this movement and the exposure of Mike Bickle and Dr. Michael Brown and all the issues at Bethel and all the things that are mounting up.
And then you have the issues now that are starting to surface even more with the passion translation and the plagiarism that is being lofted about that, which it looks like that is highly probable that that's what's happening.
