Like the pro-Trump Courage Tour being led by NAR leader Lance Wallnau in swing states, the ten-hour gathering in DC mixed worship, spiritual warfare, and MAGA politics. The day ended with NAR apostle and political activist Ché Ahn talking about the demonic spirit of Jezebel supposedly working through politicians like Vice President Kamala Harris—and making an “apostolic decree” that Donald Trump would be elected in November.
The New Apostolic Reformation is a growing religious and political movement grounded in a theology of dominion—the idea that God wants certain kinds of Christians to take control of the government and every other important institution in society to transform nations and bring culture and laws into alignment with their right-wing biblical worldview. The NAR is also characterized by the idea of strategic level spiritual warfare—prayers and decrees meant to dislodge demonic spirits controlling geographical areas or institutions in “the natural.”
In the U.S., NAR leaders reached new heights of influence during the Trump administration—thanks in part to having publicly declared during the 2016 campaign that Trump was anointed by God. NAR leaders acted as cheerleaders for Trump and prayed for God to “remove” Supreme Court justices to give him more opportunities to reshape the Court.
