What is the New Apostolic Reformation? part two - by Michelle Lesley

Part one is found here. Our comments in bold.
--------------

We continue our slog through this supposed explanation of what the NAR is. Ms. Lesley does manage to quote a few Scriptures in this half of her presentation, but add little light to the matter. She goes on and on about the NAR, leveling charge after accusation, never documenting a single one.

To add insult to injury, Ms. Lesley is unable (or unwilling) to teach the correct Biblical view. 

Now, as I said, your average NAR churchgoer who just shows up for the worship experience on Sunday morning is likely not to even be aware of these doctrines or that her church subscribes to them, because, while some of these things might be hinted at, implied, or assumed on Sunday morning, generally speaking, NAR churches don’t usually sit their members down and formally teach and explain these doctrines to them. 

They don’t have a church covenant you sign, or a creed you recite, or a statement of faith, confession, or catechism that says these things. In fact it’s often the opposite – they try to hide these things because they know it’s weird and unbiblical and it’s going to turn people away. And they don’t want to do that, they want to draw people in so they can deceive them. (Ms. Lesley continues to make undocumented claims, unable to quote actual NAR statements that prove her accusations.)

So, if NAR false doctrine starts creeping into your church, it’s not going to look like your pastor standing up in the pulpit and saying, “Please turn to Philippians 2 and let us learn the Kenotic heresy.” And if your brother and sister-in-law start going to an NAR church, she’s not going to tell you over coffee that they learned all about strategic level spiritual warfare in Sunday School last week.

What you will see and hear is the NAR’s unbiblical practices, experiences, and street level Bible twisting. (We wait for examples, quotes, video links. Anything that demonstrates that these are normative practices. Not that some guy preached them somewhere, but rather that these are widespread, purposeful, and coordinated doctrinal stands.)

Unbiblical NAR Practices and Experiences

I opened this article by asking if you were familiar with the NAR. If not, you might be familiar with the Word of Faith or prosperity gospel:

Name it and claim it / blab it and grab it

It’s never God’s will for you to suffer, be poor, or be sick.

It’s always God’s will for you to be healthy, wealthy, and successful.

To live your best life now, as Joel Osteen would have us believe.

Because the NAR and the Word of Faith movement both have their roots in charismatic Pentecostalism, there is a great deal of overlap between the two as far as what they look like to most people. In fact, the way I usually explain it is that the NAR takes the Word of Faith and kicks it up a notch with outlandish “supernatural” manifestations and signs and wonders, and blasphemously attributes these to the Holy Spirit.

So let’s take a look at some of the NAR’s unbiblical practices and experiences. Some of these will be common to Word of Faith/prosperity gospel churches as well.

Street Level Bible Twisting

Health, Wealth, and Prosperity

Like the Word of Faith, the NAR teaches followers that it is never God’s will for Christians to be poor, unsuccessful, or sick. It’s always God’s will for you to be healthy, wealthy, and successful. The Word of Faith tends to place a little more emphasis on the “wealthy and successful” part. The NAR tends to place a little more emphasis on the “healthy” part.

There are a couple of Scriptures they twist for this. One is John 10:34, where Jesus, in order to demonstrate to the Pharisees that they were being hypocritical and inconsistent, quoted Psalm 82:6: “Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’?”.

Now, obviously, Jesus was not saying that you and I possess any level of deity whatsoever, because the entirety of the Bible clearly teaches against that. Take the time to read those verses in context and you’ll plainly see that. But both the NAR and the Word of Faith rip these verses out of context so they can say that we are “little gods” – we are divine.

Now, think about it: God can’t get sick. God can’t be poor. So if we’re little gods, we can’t be sick or poor either.

They will also take you to Isaiah 53:5, which, speaking of Jesus’ crucifixion, says, in part, “by His [stripes or] wounds we are healed.” Now, we understand, just by reading the rest of that verse, that what’s being said there is that Jesus’ death on the cross paid for our sins. We are “healed” from our sinful state of spiritual unwellness by the physical unwellness -the wounds- Jesus suffered on the cross that led to His death for us.

And we can even go so far as to say that Jesus’ wounds did ultimately pay for our physical healing, because those of us who are in Christ will all be completely, totally healed the moment we step into eternal life with Jesus.

But the NAR and Word of Faith will tell you that Isaiah 53:5 means that Jesus’ death on the cross purchased your healing in this life on earth. And that’s demonstrably not true. Any pagan can look around and see that even the most godly person he can think of gets sick, gets injured, and eventually dies. (This is not a biblical argument. Ms. Lesley needs to tell us from the Bible why this doctrine is wrong. We happen to agree it's wrong, but she doesn't make any sort of biblical case.)

I mean, just take a look at the Johnson family. They have plenty of health issues. Bill Johnson, the leader of Bethel, wears glasses. He had a serious intestinal blockage several years ago that required surgery. I would guess that, at 73 years old, he takes just as many medications for high blood pressure, or diabetes, or cholesterol, or whatever, as most 73 year olds take. Bill’s wife, Beni, who literally wrote the book on health, called Healthy and Free, tragically died of cancer in 2022. (This also is not a biblical argument.)

Their own theology doesn’t even work for them.

Love Bombing, Ego Boosting, and Environmental Manipulation

Just the general air and experience of attending an NAR worship service is also Bible twisting. Everything is centered around and focused on you rather than on Christ, even though the whole time they’re saying the focus is on Christ.

But their view of Jesus is that He’s a life enhancement accessory. Jesus is there to serve me, to make my life better, to give me all the stuff my greedy little heart desires. Remember John 6:26? After He fed the 5000, Jesus said to the crowd of people following Him, “you seek Me, because you ate of the loaves and were filled”.

In other words, they weren’t following Jesus because they wanted Jesus. They were following Him to get something out of Him: food, healing, miracles. Something to make their earthly lives easier and better. That’s what the NAR is. They don’t want Jesus, they want a genie.

So even when an NAR church is supposedly focusing on Jesus – singing about Jesus, preaching and teaching about Jesus, praying to Jesus – they’re really still focused on you, because their false Jesus is just a means to an end to get you what you want. (This also is not a biblical argument.)

So you walk in the front door, and you’re immediately love bombed – especially if you’re new. You get a million hugs, and everyone’s so thrilled to see you: “Can I help you with that?” “Here’s a coffee and a swag bag for first time visitors.” “Why don’t you come out to lunch with us after?”. You’re made to feel like a queen. Like you’re the most important person in the building.

This is not biblical hospitality – because this place isn’t biblical – this is Satanic manipulation and deception. It’s the same kind of thing cults do to draw people in. (This is just dumb. A friendly, welcoming church is suspicious because churches aren't supposed to be like that. Actually, it's not a church at all. It's satanic. Manipulative. 

Now to be sure there are cults out there, quasi-Christian churches, and the like. But what we're dealing with here is a different issue, that if the NAR is sufficiently deviant from crucial doctrines to make them non-Christian. It isn't enough that Ms. Lesley disagrees with some of their doctrines. She needs to demonstrate that these doctrines are central to salvation. She never does this.)

You go in and find your seat, and the house lights go down, and the band comes out, and you get an hour long concert that you can sing along with if you want. It’s music that’s written specifically to get a hold of your emotions. It stirs you and makes you feel good.

The music is often very repetitive and literally mind numbing, because that puts you in a suggestive state, very much like hypnosis. Sometimes they will even tell you something like, “Just empty your mind and sing with your heart and let the spirit move.” (We call B.S..)

Then someone they call a pastor will come out on the stage, and he or she will give you a word salad with a few Bible verses for croutons, some general truisms and tips you could get from Dr. Phil or Oprah, and tell you a bunch of emotionally manipulative stories.

It’s all about how much God loves you, how great He thinks you are, and how wonderful He wants your life to be. And so quickly that you can’t even catch it, they’re weaving in unbiblical ideas here and nuggets of false doctrine there.

And you’ll get out of there high as a kite, feeling like you can conquer the world and God just thinks you’re awesome… until about 6 a.m. on Monday when the alarm goes off and real life sets in. And you still have all the same problems. And you still have all the same bills you’re struggling to pay. And you’re still taking all the same medications you were taking yesterday.

It’s cotton candy Christianity. It’s fake. They’re not teaching you what the Bible really teaches, and they’re teaching you to worship yourself instead of Christ. (Still no biblical arguments.)

Unbiblical Signs and Wonders

This is what really has marked the NAR in recent years because it’s so obvious and attention grabbing, and in most cases, so clearly fake and unbiblical.

Some of these things are rooted in the NAR’s misunderstanding and twisting of the events surrounding Pentecost. For example…

Speaking in Tongues, etc.

(We discuss tongues in detail here. Suffice to say, Ms. Lesley is unable to correctly teach the doctrine, which is most certainly a second or third level doctrine anyway.)

If you will sit down with your Bible and carefully read Acts 2, you will see two things about the phrase “speaking in other tongues”.

The first thing you will see is that “tongues,” in this passage, means known, legitimate, foreign languages. Verse 5 says, “there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.”

In verse 8, those devout men from every nation under heaven said of the apostles, “We each hear them in our own language in which we were born.”

And verse 11 bookends the whole thing by saying, “We hear them in our own tongues [languages] speaking of the mighty deeds of God.”

Why were the apostles speaking in all these different languages? To preach the gospel to all these people who spoke different languages. They didn’t have Google Translate. And this purpose is borne out by the rest of the chapter where you can read Peter’s sermon on the gospel.

That’s not how speaking in tongues is practiced in NAR churches. It’s not a legitimate tool for explaining the gospel to someone who doesn’t speak your language. Again, it’s all about you, and how you can have this supposedly supernatural experience of speaking meaningless syllables that makes you feel good and supposedly brings you closer to God as you worship Him. That’s not what the Bible teaches about speaking in tongues.

Furthermore, 1 Corinthians 14:27-28 says that in the church setting, a maximum of three people can speak in a tongue and someone must interpret it from the foreign language being spoken into the common language spoken by the church. And you will rarely, if ever, see those two commands being obeyed in NAR churches.

Some other unbiblical NAR manifestations that seem like they may have been extrapolated from tongues and other events at Pentecost: holy laughter, strange “anointings,” glory clouds of gold dust, tremoring, false prophecy, grave sucking, raising the dead, trips to Heaven, and being “drunk in the Spirit.”

False Prophecy and Extra-Biblical Revelation

(Ms. Lesley will not explain the biblical view of prophecy.

We discuss NT prophecy in detail here and here.)

Did any true prophet in the Bible ever say, “Thus says the Lord…” and then get it wrong? (See our discussion of Agabus here.)

Of course not. One reason for this was that the punishment for false prophets was execution. (She again appeals to a standard that she rejects.)

Deuteronomy 13 and 18 both tell us that…

• If a prophet’s prophecy comes true, but he leads you astray to false gods (like the false god of the NAR) or
• If a prophet speaks something God has not commanded him to speak (like the “prophets” of the NAR do) or
• If a prophet speaks in the name of a false god (like the false god of the NAR)

…that prophet is to be put to death. (For a third time...)

Am I advocating for the death penalty for false prophets today? No, I am not. (Why not? Ms. Lesley appeals to Deuteronomy as the standard for prophetic utterance. Failing the standard means death. Ms. Lesley is not permitted to pick and choose elements based on her preferences. It's all or nothing. If she identifies a false prophet, she is obligated to administer the coup de grâce.)

All I’m saying is, in the Old Testament, all of the NAR prophets would be dead three times over.

The God these people teach isn’t the God of the Bible. The things these people tell you aren’t prophecies. They’re much more like the false prophets Jeremiah and Isaiah warned about who just tell you what you want to hear to make you feel good.

And from the prophet even to the priest everyone practices lying. They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ but there is no peace. Jeremiah 6: 13-14 (Gleefully yanking this verse out of context, Ms. Lesley applies the condemnation of Israel for its waywardness to Christians with a different viewpoint on certain secondary doctrines. This is Bad Bible Teaching.) 

And listen to what God says about His people who prefer the message of false prophets over true prophets:

For this is a rebellious people, false sons, Sons who are not willing to listen to the law of Yahweh,

Who say to the seers [the true prophets of God], “You must not see,” And to those who have visions [the true prophets of God], “You must not behold visions for us of what is right, Speak to us pleasant words, behold visions of illusions. Get out of the way, turn aside from the path,

Cease speaking before us about the Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah 30:9-11 (Not content in her previous condemnation, she piles on even more.)

In other words, God’s people are telling the true prophets, like Isaiah, “Stop telling us the hard truths of God’s Word. Be nice! Tell us nice things that make us feel good! Scratch our itching ears!”.

NAR prophecies, extra-biblical revelation, words of knowledge – these supposed revelations from God that are found nowhere in the Bible – are the vain imaginings of their own minds. Case in point, the 2020 Presidential election.

Anybody on the planet had a 50-50 chance of correctly guessing who would be the next President, Trump or Biden. Every single NAR prophet who gave a public prophecy got it wrong. Every single one of them. They all said Trump would win the election and occupy the White House, serving as president.

There’s no New Testament special dispensation for prophets to get things wrong. They don’t have the gift of prophecy. They aren’t prophets.

Related to false prophecy and extra-biblical revelation, the NAR is also largely responsible for many of the corrupt teachings on prayer that have become popular in recent years, such as: contemplative/centering prayer (which we see creeping into churches through the teachings of Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, Lysa TerKeurst, Christine Caine, and others), lectio divina, Sozo prayer, healing rooms, and soaking prayer.

Fake Healings

(Ms. Lesley will not explain the biblical teaching on healing.)

You’ve probably seen videos of Benny Hinn and other fake faith healers calling people up on stage and pretending to heal them.

Maybe you’ve even seen the man on the street videos of Todd White going up to random people and pretending to lengthen their one leg that’s shorter than the other.

You might have even heard of Todd Bentley who has been known to try to heal people by kicking or punching them, such as the man with stomach cancer whom he kicked in the gut.

None of these so-called miracle healings are real. Benny Hinn only allows people into his healing lines who have invisible or fake illnesses, so you can’t tell whether they’re really healed or not. Todd White’s leg lengthening has been demonstrated to be a parlor trick. Todd Bentley has injured more people than he’s healed.

If you still think these things are real, ask yourself, “Where are the doctors and hospitals publicly coming forward and saying, ‘Yes, this person was genuinely, medically healed,’ and why wasn’t it splashed all over the news?”. (??? Did Jesus seek publicity? Is appearing on the news the measure of the validity of a healing? Would the news even be willing to publicize a Christian healing? No, no, and no.)

Why don’t these fake healers ever heal someone medically documented to be paralyzed, or brain injured, or with cerebral palsy? (Ms. Lesley apparently possesses encyclopedic, world-wide knowledge, and therefore is able to state with certainty that no one has ever been healed.)

Why don’t they walk into hospitals and heal everyone there? (Kevin Dedmon has done this. Unless of course he's a lying, he's probably a NAR guy.)

How come there’s not one video of a fake healer instantly growing back an amputee’s arm or leg, or healing someone’s badly disfigured face, or making the skin of a burn victim like new? (Ms. Lesley has been arguing from the position of lack of faith. She thinks that the gift of healing isn't possible. She has never personally investigated any supposed healing, we're quite sure. Nor would she, because the powerlessness of the contemporary church is her normative standard. Anything that might deviate from that is heresy.)

God still heals people all the time. He heals people in answer to our prayers, usually through modern medicine and the body’s own healing properties, but sometimes miraculously and inexplicably by His own hand. He is not giving people the sign gift of healing today,  (Waaait. God still miraculously heals, sometimes? So if a Christian prays for someone to be healed and God heals that person, that still can happen today? Ms. Lesley just ceded her entire argument. We are no longer discussing if the gift of healing exists, we are discussing how long the gift lasts in a person.)

and even if He were, it certainly wouldn’t be to these rank heretics. (Nasty. And Smug. God would only give the gift of healing to her church that doesn't believe in the gift of healing. Riiight.)

Resurrections

(Ms. Lesley will never teach the biblical view of resurrections.)

I’m not really sure why, but these people think they can raise the dead. They’ve never done it. There’s never been any medical documentation of it. And in this age of everyone having smart phones, there’s never been photographic or video evidence of it. ("It hasn't happened so it never will happen because it can't happen." That's not a biblical argument.)

And, I mean, if somebody who was certifiably dead was resurrected, where is he? He ought to be up walking around among us and telling his story on every news channel and talk show. (She repeats her dumb assertion.)

No one raised Bill Johnson’s wife from the dead when she died of cancer a few years ago. Why not? (Please tell us, Ms. Lesley.)

In December of 2019, a precious 2 year old little girl named Olive tragically died in her sleep. As a mother and grandmother, I can only imagine the excruciating heartbreak and agony her family went through.

Olive’s parents were members of Bethel Redding where her mother was also a worship leader. Instead of making funeral arrangements for Olive, they contacted Bethel’s dead raising team.

No, I’m not kidding. Your church has a hospitality committee, Bethel has a dead raising team.

And for – not one, not two, – but five days, they cried out to their god, they sang, they jumped around, they chanted “Wake up Olive! Wake up Olive! Wake up Olive!”. And “there was no voice, no one answered, and no one paid attention.” The false god of Bethel did not answer them.

And this story went viral – all over the world. And I remember following this story, and how all I could think about when I saw the pictures and videos of all of this was the 1 Kings 18 story of the prophets of Baal crying out to their false god to answer them with fire and consume their sacrifice. But, verse 29 tells us, “there was no voice, no one answered, and no one paid attention.”

On the sixth day the parents announced that they were planning Olive’s funeral. And how do you think that momma and daddy felt, when, at the worst moment of their lives, their false god failed them and didn’t give them back that precious baby? 

Bill Johnson, their pastor whom they trusted, failed them. Their church that so believed they could resurrect the dead, that they had a dead raising team, failed them because Bethel believed and taught lies.

Second only to the fact that NAR heresy sends people to Hell, the cruelest of their false teachings is that they can resurrect the dead. (Why is it false teaching, Ms. Lesley? Are you ever going to teach the Bible to us?)

These are just a few of the more notable unbiblical signs and wonders of the NAR. There are so many more.

The NAR in Music and Women’s Ministry

If you listen to contemporary Christian music, you probably recognized the names of some musicians in the list above: Bethel Music, Jesus Culture, Brandon Lake, Cory Asbury, and Phil Wickham. And there are many more.

Two of the main ways NAR false doctrine usually begins infiltrating otherwise healthy churches is through the music ministry and the women’s ministry.

Bethel Music and its production and publication companies practically have a monopoly on the contemporary worship music industry. If your church sings contemporary worship music in the worship service, you’re probably using music from Bethel, Phil Wickham, Hillsong, and/or Elevation. In order, those are the top four most widely used sources for worship music.

When you bring music like that into your church – even the songs with seemingly biblical lyrics – people like it, they start listening to the music outside the church, and that acts like a gateway drug to draw them in to the NAR and its false doctrine.

Bill Johnson has proudly and publicly boasted about doing this – on purpose. (Well, actually, Johnson stated a well-known scientific fact, that music is powerful and has a special entry point into the human psyche. That is indisputable. Even Ms. Lesley's church music does this.)

That’s why they’ve built up this music empire. It’s by design, to draw people in. (Well, they say something different: Bethel Music is a worship movement that exists to lead people’s hearts into profound experiences with God’s presence that fuels personal, regional, and global revival. We have no love for Bethel music, but we would tend to believe what they say about themselves rather than what Ms. Lesley says about them.)

I, and many others who teach against the NAR, have heard the testimonies of hundreds of people who have told us that’s exactly how they got drawn away into a New Apostolic Reformation church.

Don’t think it can’t happen to you.

Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.1 Corinthians 10:12

Can a man take fire in his bosom And his clothes not be burned? Or can a man walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched? Proverbs 6:27-28

You don’t know when you’re being deceived. That’s why it’s deception.

That’s why the Bible doesn’t teach us to chew up the meat and spit out the bones. (Topic change. We deal with this false idea here.)

It teaches us to stay away from these people altogether. ("These people," as in supposed false teachers? The link brings us to a list of Scriptures, but none of them refer to false teachers.)

I explain things like this when I teach, and I explain all the blasphemies and cruelties the NAR commits against vulnerable people, and I still have Christians come up to me and argue with me that it’s perfectly fine to for them to listen to NAR artists like the ones I just mentioned.

Examine the music your church uses, and, if necessary, have a talk with your pastor about it.

Also, examine the materials your women’s ministry is using and the conferences they’re attending. It’s extremely likely that the authors and teachers your women’s ministry follows are in the NAR themselves, or they’re partnering with and embracing NAR teachers, or they are in some way being influenced by NAR teachers.

Research the authors and teachers your church uses and that you follow. See who they surround themselves with. First Corinthians 15:33 says, “Do not be deceived. Bad company corrupts good morals.” Or if you want the country version: If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. Birds of a feather flock together.

This is one of the reasons why Romans 16:17-18, (Not about false teachers.)

and 2 John 9-11, (Not about false teachers.)

and 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, (Not about false teachers.)

and Titus 1:9 (About false teachers.)

and so many other passages of Scripture command us to have nothing to do with false teachers. (Ep. 4:14, Col. 2:22,  1Ti. 1:3, 1Ti. 4:2, 1Ti. 6:3, 2Ti. 2:17, 2Ti. 4:3, and 2Pe. 2:1 are all about false teachers. Not one of them tell us to have nothing to to with false teachers.

However, the Bible does tell us what we should have nothing to do with: 

Ep. 5:11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 

1Ti. 4:7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. 

2Ti. 3:5 ...having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. 

Tit. 3:10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him.

None of these are about false teachers.)

If you find NAR false doctrine infiltrating your church, kindly, lovingly, gently, take what you’ve learned today, go to your pastor, and express your concerns.

Why is any of this important?

A lot of well meaning Christians look at NAR “churches” and think, “Well, they may worship a little differently, but it’s no big deal. We all love Jesus!”

No, we do not.

Regardless of what they say, people who believe and teach damnable heresy, by biblical definition, do not love Jesus. (New concept, "damnable heresy," a charge that Ms. Lesley has yet to discuss, let alone prove.)

And it is harmful to those people and the vulnerable people they’re deceiving, to say – or treat them like – they do.

I told you about baby Olive and her parents. I didn’t mention the thousands of direly ill and disabled people, the parents of children with terminal cancer, or who are horribly disfigured, who give their life savings to these fake healers because that is their last hope. (She keeps mixing various charismatics and Pentecostals all together, throws them into a theological pot and calling it all NAR.)

And they’re either turned away, or they’re not healed, and they’re told it’s their fault because they just didn’t have enough faith.

Or how about the young woman who was almost murdered because she believed a false prophecy that it was God’s will for her to marry this certain guy who turned out to be unspeakably abusive. (How about Steve Lawson? Josh Buice? Burk Parsons?)

The NAR is evangelically-sanctioned spiritual abuse. It has destroyed countless lives, ruins everything it touches, and has sent untold millions to Hell for all eternity.

And as unfathomably awful as that is – exponentially worse than all of that – New Apostolic Reformation heresy is a slap in the face to our precious Jesus who hung on a cruel Roman cross in agony for your sins and for mine.

It is blasphemy of the highest order against God, our Father. It is lying about, slandering, and maligning the Holy Spirit.

The New Apostolic Reformation is heresy and has no place in a Christian church in any way, shape, or form. Stay far away from it. Protect yourself. Protect your loved ones. Protect your church.
