How is Dominionism Getting into Politics? Meet the Apostles and Prophets of the NAR (Video)

A November Charisma Magazine article is titled the "Rising Tide of Influence: How Pentecostalism is gradually changing the dynamics of American Politics."  But most of the leaders in the article are not traditional Pentecostals - they are apostles and prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation. The NAR is one of the current forces behind the radicalization of the Religious Right, and in turn, U.S. politics. NAR leaders teach a dualistic worldview in which all other religions and philosophies, including secular democracy, are considered controlled by demonic entities in a cosmic battle with Christianity.  They are leaders on social issues, like fighting abortion and gay rights, but they also emphasize a mandate to take "dominion" over all of the "Seven Mountains" or cultural power centers - arts, business, education, family, government, media, and religion.

The late Rousas Rushdoony, father of Christian Reconstructionism wrote the tome and laid the foundations for infusing Dominion Theology into American politics, but it is Charismatic Dominionists who have had the greater success in drawing millions of followers in the U.S. and worldwide.  Following is a brief introduction to a few of the leading apostles and prophets, including video links.

[Additional links and videos will be added periodically!]

C. Peter Wagner

Wagner was the Convening Apostles of the International Coalition of Apostles (ICA), Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, Wagner Leadership Institute, and other New Apostolic Reformation entities. Now an octogenarian, Wagner has passed many of his leadership positions to other apostles.

Wagner explains the meaning of "dominion."  

In the video below, Wagner and other apostles take part in a 2008 "apostolic alignment" ceremony for Todd Bentley, during a faith-healing revival in Lakeland, Florida that drew participants from all over the world in the summer of 2008.

Hamon has his own international apostolic network and has been part of the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders.  Hamon was part of the Latter Rain movement of the 1950s that predates the NAR and teaches Manifest Sons of God theology as seen in the quote below about the "mankind race." [Hamon below right with former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe.]

"The Third and Final Apostolic Reformation began with the Saints Movement.  It is transitioning the Church into demonstrating and implementing the Gospel of the Kingdom for disciplining the nations and bringing transformation to the seven world kingdoms, which are being illustrated as the 'seven mountains' of business, education, government, media, family, religion, and entertainment.

...Christ's Third Church Reformation and purpose to fulfill God's original mandate to subdue all things, to take dominion and fill the earth with a mankind race in God's own image and likeness..."

...God is preparing His Church to become an invincible, unstoppable, unconquerable, overcoming Army of the Lord that subdues everything under Christ's feet.

...God's great end-time army is being prepared to execute God's written Judgments with Christ's victory and divine judgment decrees that have already been established in heaven.  The time is set when they will be administered and executed on earth through God's saintly army.  All that is destined and needed will be activated during God's restorational Army of the Lord Movement."
