From NAR to Christ

Romans 12:18 exhorts believers to live peaceably with all "if possible, so far as it depends on you." But does this command require Christians to make peace with false teachers and false prophets—or to treat them as faithful brothers and sisters in Christ? In this episode of From NAR to Christ, we examine the biblical meaning of peace in light of the whole counsel of God. Scripture makes a clear distinction between being peaceable in our conduct and maintaining doctrinal fidelity to the gospel. While believers are called to love their enemies, pray for them, and show common grace, the Bible repeatedly warns against extending fellowship to those who persist in false teaching and refuse correction. Drawing from Romans 12, 2 Peter 2, Galatians 1, James 4, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and the teaching of Jesus, this episode explains why Scripture never calls Christians to declare "peace" where God Himself says there is none. True biblical peace never comes at the expense of truth, and love for Christ and His church requires discernment, clarity, and obedience to God's Word.

In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill is joined by David Lovi for a careful, Scripture-driven discussion on the doctrine of hell, responding to the growing conversation surrounding annihilationism. This is not a speculative or emotional discussion, but one grounded in the Word of God and the historic teaching of the Church. What we believe about hell directly shapes our understanding of God's holiness, the seriousness of sin, and the gospel itself—specifically, what Jesus Christ has saved sinners from. Together, we examine: • What eternal conscious torment teaches biblically. • What annihilationism claims and why it appeals to the natural human heart. • Whether eternal judgment is just for a finite life of sin. • Key biblical texts often misunderstood or misused in this debate. • Why minimizing hell ultimately diminishes the gravity of sin and the glory of Christ's saving work. • Concerns about how this teaching may be leveraged within NAR and hyper-charismatic movements to blur biblical categories of judgment, false teaching, and accountability. Scripture presents hell as a sober and terrifying reality—not to provoke speculation, but to awaken sinners, magnify the mercy of Christ, and compel faithful gospel proclamation. Jesus did not come to save sinners from non-existence, but from the righteous wrath of God—by bearing that judgment Himself at the cross. "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:31) May this episode lead to deeper reverence, clearer doctrine, and renewed urgency to flee to Christ alone for salvation.

In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and its close connection to Word of Faith theology, modern claims of apostleship, prophetic authority, and extra-biblical revelation. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and her own testimony as a former false prophet within the movement, Dawn explains how NAR teachings elevate human authority, redefine prayer into decrees, deny God's sovereignty, and undermine the sufficiency of Scripture. This conversation also highlights how NAR is not confined to the West but has become a global movement, affecting churches across cultures and nations—often leaving confusion, spiritual damage, and fear in its wake. Listeners will learn: • How the New Apostolic Reformation developed • Why claims such as "God told me…" carry serious spiritual consequences • How restoration theology differs from biblical Christianity • Why Word of Faith teaching distorts prayer and faith • The danger of extra-biblical revelation • Why Scripture remains the more sure prophetic Word (2 Peter 1) This episode is a biblical call to discernment, repentance, and renewed confidence in Christ alone and Scripture alone.

Many believers have recently heard claims from Bethel Church regarding a "Finder's Ministry," double-blind prophetic activations, and supernatural training meant to locate lost items, missing pets, and even people. These practices are promoted by Dan McCollum as a form of prophetic development within the modern charismatic movement. In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill (Lovesick Scribe) examines these teachings through the lens of Scripture, comparing them with historic Christianity and exposing their parallels with New Age psychic methods, remote viewing, and mystical intuition practices. Dawn also addresses the growing ecumenical influence surrounding these movements, including recent public appearances involving Lila Rose and the call for unity with Roman Catholicism. Throughout the episode, listeners are encouraged to return to the clear teaching of God's Word, the sufficiency of Scripture, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. ________________________________________ Key Themes • What is the Finder's Ministry and how is it being taught? • Misuse of Scripture to justify modern prophetic experiments • The overlap between New Age practices and charismatic mysticism • Why experience-driven ecumenism undermines biblical clarity • A call to test all teachings by Scripture alone ________________________________________ Scriptures Referenced Deuteronomy 13–18; 1 John 4:1; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Romans 12; Luke 19:10.

In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines Ephesians 6:10–18 and clarifies what the armor of God truly is—and what it is not. Rather than ritualistic prayers, declarations, or symbolic actions, Scripture calls believers to stand firm in the finished work of Christ. The armor of God is not something we activate or command into existence; it is grounded in truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—all gifts of God's grace. This episode contrasts common teachings within the New Apostolic Reformation and deliverance movement with a careful, biblical reading of the text, helping listeners discern truth from error and rest in Christ's sufficiency. Key themes include: • Biblical spiritual warfare vs. ritualized practices • Why the armor of God points us to Christ, not ourselves • The danger of mixing Scripture with extra-biblical ideas • Standing firm in the strength of the Lord, not human effort Scripture Focus: Ephesians 6:10–18 For more from Dawn please visit her page at Servants of Grace: https://servantsofgrace.org/dawn-hill/

In this NAR to Christ episode, Dawn Hill examines the popular "Athaliah spirit" teaching found in the New Apostolic Reformation and modern deliverance movement. She walks through the biblical account of Athaliah in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles and contrasts it with the extra-biblical categories promoted by NAR teachers. Dawn shows why Scripture never presents an "Athaliah demon," exposes the danger of manufactured spiritual labels, and calls believers back to the sufficiency of God's Word and the armor of God described in Ephesians 6. This episode encourages Christians to test every teaching by the Scriptures and to rest in Christ's finished work rather than fear-based spiritual theories.

Former NAR prophetess Dawn Hill joins us to discuss the language, assumptions, and ideas that shape the New Apostolic Reformation and modern deliverance culture. Dawn explains how common phrases such as "anointing," "double portion," "activate," "speaking to the situation," and "advancing the Kingdom" are used to promote teachings that go beyond Scripture and distort the gospel. Dawn also shares her own journey out of the movement and into a deeper trust in the sufficiency of Scripture, offering clarity and hope for those coming out of NAR or Word of Faith backgrounds. This conversation will benefit anyone seeking to understand NAR terminology, evaluate modern charismatic practices, or help loved ones caught in spiritually abusive systems.

In this follow-up episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill continues her biblical response to Isaiah Saldivar's deliverance teachings, carefully examining popular claims such as Christians having indwelling demons, "legal rights," naming spirits, and sending demons to the abyss—through the lens of Scripture. Dawn walks through Mark 5, Luke 8, Matthew 8 & 12, Luke 13, Ephesians 4:27, Galatians 5, and 2 Corinthians 11, explaining why descriptive Gospel accounts are not prescriptive exorcism manuals. She shows that Scripture calls believers to rest in the sufficiency of Christ, the power of the gospel, and the ordinary means of grace rather than in unbiblical "deliverance" practices. Key Scriptures: Mark 5; Luke 8; Matthew 8 & 12; Luke 13:10–17; Ephesians 4:26–27; Galatians 5:16–26; 2 Corinthians 11:1–4; Job 1–2. Topics Covered: • Descriptive vs. prescriptive passages. • The Gerasene demoniac and the "naming the demon" claim. • "Christians with demons"? Testing the claim biblically. • "Legal rights," generational curses, and trauma theology. • The misuse of Luke 13 and Ephesians 4:27. • The sufficiency of the gospel and the local church. This episode of NAR to Christ, hosted by Servants of Grace, helps those leaving New Apostolic Reformation, deliverance, and New Age deception find clarity, freedom, and stability in biblical truth.

Many today are being influenced by modern deliverance teachings that claim Christians can be demonized and require continual deliverance sessions. Isaiah Saldivar is one of the most recognized voices teaching this approach. In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill evaluates these claims in the light of Scripture. She addresses what the Bible teaches about spiritual warfare, the finished work of Christ, the indwelling Holy Spirit, and the believer's identity and assurance in Jesus. This episode is not an attack on a person. It is a call to discernment, encouraging Christians to test every teaching by the Word of God (Acts 17:11) and to rest in the sufficiency of Christ and His completed work (Colossians 2:13–15). Dawn offers clarity, hope, and biblical counsel for those coming out of the deliverance movement or wrestling with fear and confusion.
