Talk To Action: Sarah Palin's church is not a typical Assembly of God congregation.
In the video of Bishop Muthee praying with Sarah Palin, Muthee spoke about Christians infiltrating and taking over 7 facets of society. More about that doctrine here...

Palin's Churches and the Third Wave
The leadership of the New Apostolic Reformation is not waiting around for the Rapture. They are actively planning to advance the kingdom on earth by conquering the "Seven Mountains."

Sarah Palin's churches are being portrayed by many religion writers as typical of traditional Assemblies of God congregations. This includes claims that she may share the endtimes belief that the godly will be snatched from the earth in the Rapture and therefore avoid the reign of the Antichrist in the Tribulation and the Apocalypse. This conclusion completely ignores the fact that Palin's churches are deeply involved in the activities and beliefs of a nondenominational movement that is sweeping the globe. The followers of this movement are not waiting around for the Rapture!

The title of this article was borrowed from one of several Dominionist authors who are currently promoting the idea of "prophetic fusion" or the convergence of the different strands of Christian Dominionism into a great force to bring about the God's Kingdom on earth now. A rapidly growing component of this fusion of Dominionists is the New Apostolic Reformation.

The New Apostolic Reformation could be viewed as a parallel movement of some of the more familiar Dominionist groups that are often discussed on this site. But this strand has emerged from Pentecostal and Charismatic backgrounds and has been nearly invisible to both the mainstream press and progressive writers. Like other Dominionists the New Apostolics are culture warriors and have specific stated goals for overtaking all spheres of American society and government as seen in the video above. Also, like other dominionist groups they actually invest much of their efforts in fighting the traditional institutionalized church. However, they differ from most other Dominionist groups in their embrace of the outpouring of gifts of the holy spirit, or manifestations, like being slain in the spirit, Holy Laughter, and other states of altered consciousness that are a part of their very experiential worship style. The New Apostolic Reformation is also much more focused on the expulsion of demons as the process for healing, social reform, or even raising people from the dead. They have a unique and extensive lingo that is dedicated to the description of the expulsion of territorial demons including terms like ground level spiritual warfare, occult level spiritual warfare, and strategic level spiritual warfare.

3. It's becoming increasingly difficult for me to remain tolerant of religion.
Any religion at all. I'm beginning to see it all as a problem. If the so called "good" Christians, or "real" Christians, or "not completely fucking insane" Christians don't start denouncing the lunatic fringe loudly and publicly, then they are part of the problem.

4. This is frightening!
Considering this article and an account that she's said that she believes she'll see the return of Jesus in HER lifetime... no WAY does she deserve to be anywhere near our government!
