From NAR to Christ

In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines Katherine Krick's claims of spiritual authority, recurring deliverance ministry, and the troubling pattern of loyalty demanded within Five-Fold Church. Dawn contrasts these claims with the clear teaching of Scripture. Christ, not a modern apostle, is the head of the church. The Holy Spirit glorifies Christ and leads believers through the Word of God. Christians are not called to submit to an alleged anointing, chase manifestations, or place their confidence in a spiritual leader. This episode calls listeners to test every teaching by Scripture, flee false authority, and find true freedom in the saving gospel of Jesus Christ.

Dawn Hill examines the teaching and practice of mass deliverance within the modern deliverance movement and compares its claims with the clear teaching of Scripture. Dawn addresses the belief that Christians can have indwelling demons, along with teachings concerning generational curses, chronic illness, demonic affliction, spiritual open doors, manifestations, and repeated deliverance sessions. She also examines several passages commonly used to support these ideas, showing why biblical context matters when considering Job, 1 Peter 5, Ephesians 2, John 5, John 10, and Matthew 12. Rather than directing Christians toward continual deliverance sessions, Scripture points believers to the finished work of Christ, the indwelling Holy Spirit, biblical sanctification, and the gospel that truly delivers sinners from the domain of darkness. Dawn concludes by considering Acts 2 and the three thousand souls saved through the proclamation of the gospel, reminding Christians that true freedom is found in Jesus Christ.

Are monitoring spirits taught in Scripture? In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines popular deliverance teachings concerning monitoring spirits and compares those claims with the Word of God. She considers teachings from Ryan LeStrange and Tiffany Buckner, including claims that monitoring spirits work through people, jealousy, procrastination, relationships, and other circumstances. Dawn explains why the biblical reality of Satan and spiritual warfare does not establish the modern doctrine of monitoring spirits. She also warns that such teaching can create fear, suspicion, and an unhealthy focus on demonic activity. Rather than demonizing people or interpreting ordinary struggles as evidence of demonic spirits, Christians are called to submit to God, resist the devil, trust God's sovereignty, and rest in the sufficiency of Scripture. Believers in Christ have been delivered from the domain of darkness, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and equipped by God to stand firm in biblical spiritual warfare.

Some defenders of the New Apostolic Reformation deny that it exists or argue that it cannot be identified because it is not a formal organization. However, books written and endorsed by the movement's own leaders openly describe the restoration of modern apostles and prophets, apostolic networks, apostolic centers, dominion theology, and the Seven Mountain Mandate. In this episode of From NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines published evidence from C. Peter Wagner and other influential NAR leaders. Their writings demonstrate that the New Apostolic Reformation is a recognizable movement with shared teachings concerning church government, spiritual authority, prophecy, cultural transformation, and modern apostles. Dawn concludes with a plea for Christians to test every teaching according to Scripture, return to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and trust the written Word of God as the final authority for faith and life.

The New Apostolic Reformation is sometimes dismissed because it is not a formal organization with official membership. Yet C. Peter Wagner, who coined the term, repeatedly described it as a movement marked by restored apostles and prophets, extraordinary spiritual authority, apostolic networks, dominion theology, and new approaches to church government, prayer, worship, and revelation. In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines evidence from Wagner's writings and public teachings. She is joined by Dave Jenkins to discuss the differences between biblical apostles and modern apostolic claims, the danger of revelation beyond Scripture, the Seven Mountain Mandate, declarative prayer, apostolic covering, and the authority and sufficiency of the Word of God. Dawn also offers encouragement to those who have left the NAR or have loved ones still involved. There is hope in Jesus Christ alone. Christians do not need modern apostles, new revelation, or dramatic spiritual experiences. They need the Word of God rightly understood, faithfully taught, and carefully applied.
