"Since then, we have seen millions come to faith in Asia. Pastor Lok Main Bandhari, who had welcomed us to Nepal, then had a church of 70 people. Two years later, his movement had grown to 1,000 churches. Within two weeks of the expedition, other things happened which I believe are also connected: the huge fire in Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation; an earthquake destroyed the basilica of Assisi, where the Pope had called a meeting of all world religions; a hurricane destroyed the infamous temple 'Baal-Christ' in Acapulco, Mexico; Princess Diana died, a representative of the British throne, to which Sir Edmund Hillary dedicated Mount Everest; and Mother Teresa died in India, one of the most famous advocates of Mary as Co-Redeemer."

The account is from the top leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation. This is no fringe movement, but a rapidly institutionalizing entity larger than most Protestant denominations. The leadership has forged this movement from several strands of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity, often referred to as the Third Wave. Under the Convening Apostle, C. Peter Wagner, they have formed an international entity encompassing thousands of independent, Pentecostal, and Charismatic churches worldwide, as well as hundreds of cross-denominational parachurch organizations, their own educational and accreditation systems, conventions, media, and businesses...
Since the 1999 release of their first video, "Transformations," the combined forces of the NAR and The Sentinel Group have promoted the ultimate faith-based initiative - "transformation" through spiritual warfare and religious, ideological, and social cleansing.
The "documentaries" demonstrate the process through which communities and nations around the world have been transformed through spiritual mapping, and the expulsion of "strategic level territorial demons" and generational curses. The portrayed result is the creation of mini-utopias which provide confirmation and glimpses of the coming glories of the "Kingdom" when other religious systems have been defeated. Once the witches and demons are purged and the communities are led by "Spirit-filled" Christians ( some advertised as 92% saved), the videos document the amazing results: empty jails and reduction in crime, repair of environmental degradation and increased crop yields including huge vegetables, bars turned to churches, improved schools, miraculous large-scale healings of AIDs, and purging of corruption from government.
The videos are viewed at churches and ministries around the world, recently advertised as having been viewed by 200 million people...
But the "Transformations" franchise of evangelism and demon hunting is not just operating in Africa or South America. The Transformations movement has impacted American social and governmental policy. The idea that social transformation can be achieved through spiritual warfare, and the expulsion of demons and witchcraft, is becoming deeply embedded in social and government policy in the United States including emergency response, physical and mental health, public safety, and juvenile and adult rehabilitation...
While few are paying attention, Transformations ideology is infiltrating our day to day life in ways we fail to recognize. The NAR and their Transformations "franchises" reach out to millions of Americans including the top levels of US government. And sometimes those people are, apparently, completely unaware of what they have stumbled into...
They believe that they must take Dominion over the "Kingdom" now, in what they believe is the New Apostolic age, and defeat evil themselves. Link to Lions in the Pews, article and video about the Sevens Mountain Strategy to take Dominion. They also believe that they must wage a "civil war" on the rest of the church in order to accomplish their agenda. McCain chose a running mate with ties to one of the most aggressively anti-pluralistic movements on the globe. The articles featured on Talk2action.org in the Palin's Churches and the Third Wave series have been posted in the most unexpected place - by fundamentalists and conservative evangelicals who feel that their beliefs and churches are threatened by the New Apostolic Reformation...
The leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation believe that they have been mandated by God to cleanse and purify the earth of what they view as evil, which includes all competing religious and philosophical beliefs. In their own words they believe that they must take control of all aspects of society and government and they are well on their way in some locations. They also believe that their prayers can, and have, maimed, killed, and destroyed others around the globe as is demonstrated in numerous witch hunting stories as well as stories of property destruction, like the "prayer induced" burning of the Transcendental Meditation Center of Hemet, CA, also featured in Transformations I...
