This Is Not the Gospel—It’s a Power Grab

How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Faith It Claims to Defend

Disponible en español al final.


I. The Rise of a Distorted Faith

Something is happening in the American church—something many believers feel but struggle to name. The faith of Jesus is being distorted. The humility of the cross is being replaced with the hunger for power. And the movement calling itself Christian nationalism is not simply a political position.

It is a counterfeit gospel.

Christian nationalism is not Christianity. It is idolatry dressed in sacred language, a flag draped over a cross.


II. What Is Christian Nationalism?

Christian nationalism is the belief that the United States is—and must remain—a Christian nation. Not in a spiritual sense, but in a political and ethnic one. It merges religious identity with national identity and defines both in ways that exclude millions.

The Baptist Joint Committee identifies five core assumptions:

  1. America was chosen by God.

  2. The Founders intended a Christian government.

  3. America should be led by white Christians.

  4. The U.S. plays a prophetic role in Christ’s return.

  5. Church and state should not be separate.

This isn’t patriotism. It isn’t faith. It’s control masquerading as righteousness.

“Christian nationalism isn’t Christianity—it’s a power grab.”


III. The False Gospel of Power

Christian nationalism trades the humility of Jesus for the idol of dominance. It glorifies conquest. It sees compromise as weakness. And worst of all, it uses the name of Christ to justify violence, exclusion, and political supremacy.

Remember January 6th? People stormed the Capitol with crosses and “Jesus Saves” signs—while beating officers and chanting death. As CNN's John Blake said, the scene was “a startling incongruity.”

When Jesus becomes a mascot for a mob, the Gospel has been lost.

Jesus didn’t seek a throne. He laid down His life. He didn’t call down legions of angels to defeat Rome. He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey.

So when we see movements that seek earthly power in His name, we must ask: which Jesus are they following?


IV. Voices of Warning

Amanda Tyler of Christians Against Christian Nationalism puts it bluntly: “Christian nationalism is not Christianity.”

The Founders knew this. The Treaty of Tripoli, signed in 1797, said clearly: “The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”

The First Amendment was not an oversight. It was a warning.

And yet today, leaders and influencers are declaring that only Christians deserve to lead. That diversity is a threat. That democracy is expendable.

This is not just misguided.

It’s dangerous.


V. The Radicalization of Faith

Christian nationalism isn’t static. It evolves.

It radicalizes.

Voices like Andrew Torba call for a country “only for Christians.” The Watchman Decree claims spiritual dominion over the government. These aren’t fringe ideas anymore. They are becoming mainstream in some corners of the church.

They’re not fighting for God. They’re fighting for dominance.

And if the rest of the church stays silent, history tells us what happens next.


VI. A Call to Courage and Clarity

This is a moment that demands courage.

To love Christ is to love the truth. To follow Jesus is to stand where He stands—with the poor, the marginalized, the misunderstood. Not with empire. Not with conquest.

We must refuse to baptize nationalism. We must reclaim the Gospel.

Yes, it will cost us. Yes, it will make some uncomfortable.

But Jesus never called us to comfort.

He called us to take up our cross.

“We cannot be both peacemakers and power-seekers.”


VII. How We Push Back

  1. Speak up: In pulpits. In pews. In private.

  2. Share truth: Use accurate history and theology.

  3. Refuse supremacy: No Gospel permits domination.

  4. Pray for courage: The Spirit will meet us in the cost.

  5. Support resistance: Groups like Christians Against Christian Nationalism are doing vital work.


VIII. The Cross or the Flag

In the end, we must choose.

Will we follow Jesus or Caesar?

Will we preach the Gospel or protect privilege?

Will we worship the Lamb or bow to empire?

Let the church remember her first love, or risk becoming a beast in robes.

Scripture Reflection:

“They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity... although they knew God’s righteous decree... they not only continued to do these very things but also approved of those who practice them.”

— Romans 1:29,32

Esto No Es el Evangelio: Es Una Toma de Poder

Cómo el Nacionalismo Cristiano Traiciona la Fe que Dice Defender


I. Introducción: El Ascenso de una Fe Distorsionada

Estamos presenciando un auge inquietante del nacionalismo cristiano: una ideología que pretende hablar en nombre de Dios, pero que idolatra el poder más que al Prójimo.

Muchos cristianos sinceros no se dan cuenta de que su fe está siendo secuestrada. Este artículo no es una condena a la fe, sino una alarma contra su manipulación.

“El nacionalismo cristiano no es cristianismo. Es idolatría envuelta en Escritura.”


II. ¿Qué es el Nacionalismo Cristiano?

No es patriotismo. No es devoción. Es la fusión del poder político con la identidad religiosa dominante.

La organización Christians Against Christian Nationalism identifica cinco creencias clave:

  1. Estados Unidos es un país elegido divinamente.

  2. Los fundadores pretendían establecer una nación cristiana.

  3. Todos deben someterse al liderazgo cristiano blanco.

  4. Estados Unidos tiene un papel profético en el regreso de Cristo.

  5. No debe haber separación entre iglesia y estado.

“Esto no es fe. Es dominación disfrazada de devoción.”


III. El Falso Evangelio del Poder

Jesús predicó paz, humildad y servicio. El nacionalismo cristiano predica miedo, superioridad y conquista.

El asalto al Capitolio con pancartas de “Jesús salva” no fue una expresión de fe. Fue una señal de advertencia.

“Cuando Jesús se convierte en la mascota de una turba, el mensaje se ha perdido.”


IV. Voces de Advertencia

Amanda Tyler lo dijo claramente: “El nacionalismo cristiano no es cristianismo.”

El tratado de Trípoli, firmado en 1797, afirmó que Estados Unidos no fue fundado como una nación cristiana. La separación entre iglesia y estado fue intencional.

Ignorar eso es reescribir la historia para justificar la supremacía.


V. La Radicalización de la Fe

Andrew Torba, fundador de Gab, no es una voz aislada. Líderes y movimientos como el Watchman Decree están usando lenguaje espiritual para justificar una toma de poder.

“No luchan por Dios. Luchan por el control.”


VI. Un Llamado al Coraje y la Claridad

Cristianos de verdad: debemos rechazar este evangelio distorsionado. Debemos amar al prójimo, incluso si no comparte nuestra fe.

La libertad religiosa no es una amenaza al cristianismo. Es su protección.

“No podemos ser pacificadores y buscadores de poder al mismo tiempo.”


VII. Cómo Resistir

Habla en tu iglesia.

Educa con historia y teología verídicas.

Rechaza la normalización de la supremacía cristiana.

Ora por discernimiento.

Apoya a quienes confrontan el nacionalismo cristiano.


VIII. Conclusión: La Cruz o la Bandera

Debemos elegir: ¿seguiremos a Cristo o al César?

“Que la iglesia recuerde a su primer amor, o corre el riesgo de convertirse en una bestia vestida de sotana.”

What the Church Refused to See: False Prophets, the Falling Away, and the Call to Return

Disponible en español al final. Sigue desplazándote. (Available in Spanish at the bottom. Keep scrolling.)


“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first…” — 2 Thessalonians 2:3

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” — Matthew 7:15


I. The Warning We Ignored

The falling away is not some future event. It’s here. It’s now. And we’ve watched it unfold from the inside out.

This message isn’t easy. But it’s necessary.

The Spirit has stirred something urgent, and I can no longer remain silent while the Church exchanges the Gospel for a brand, the altar for a stage, and truth for political influence. We were warned. We were told what to look for. But we were too dazzled by the lights to notice the wolves behind the pulpits.

False prophets did not sneak into the Church unnoticed. We welcomed them. We celebrated them. We streamed them and built platforms beneath them.

And while many still sit under their teaching… others of us have begun to see.

This is not a message of condemnation. It’s a message of mercy. A final invitation—for those with ears to hear—to return to the One who was never impressed with our performances in the first place.

This is a call to the Church: Come home. While there’s still time.


II. The Rise of False Prophets – When the Wolves Wore Suits

“They did not reject the beast—they rebranded him.”

The Church was never meant to be a marketplace. But in America, many turned it into one—and we called it revival.

We watched as pulpits became platforms, pastors became celebrities, and sermons became soundbites. And we dared to ask why the Spirit no longer moved in our sanctuaries.

This is not about calling out names for spectacle. This is about naming names because silence has become complicity.

Paula White, who stood at the pulpit praying angels from Africa to secure political power

Kenneth Copeland, who laughed maniacally at the COVID virus while building a multi-million dollar empire from desperate offerings

Lance Wallnau, who merged prophetic rhetoric with Christian nationalism to install earthly kings

Greg Locke, who declared Democrats demonic and churches without flags as compromised

Robert Jeffress, who baptized political power and blasphemed the Gospel by calling it God’s will

Franklin Graham, who traded his father’s legacy of compassion for allegiance to wealth and political strongmen

And others—too many to name—who prophesied outcomes that never came and felt no shame when the fruit proved false.

These are not mere “errors in discernment.” These are the markers of false prophets— those who speak what people want to hear, those who wrap nationalism in a cross, those who turn repentance into a footnote and obedience into a brand.

The spirit behind them is not of God. It is seductive. It is political. It is performative. And it thrives because we stopped testing the spirits.

This is not about vengeance. This is a warning. Because judgment begins in the house of God. And the shaking has already begun.


III. The Platform Became the Altar

“They traded the Spirit for a spotlight. The altar for a platform.”

We stopped calling them pastors. We started calling them influencers.

Their sermons became marketing funnels. Their sanctuaries became studios. And slowly, without most realizing it, worship became performance and truth became branding.

The altar was never meant to elevate man. It was meant to break him.

But the modern church built stages that elevated charisma over character, and platforms that rewarded spectacle over substance. They taught people to chase favor, not fear God—to tithe for blessings but never to break for repentance.

We watched spiritual leaders align with politicians, CEOs, and celebrities more than with the broken, the poor, the outcast. We watched congregations applaud louder for patriotic pageantry than for the presence of God. We watched pulpits fall silent while justice was crucified in the streets.

This wasn’t a shift. It was a falling.

And the Church—too many of us—stood by as if powerless. But we weren’t powerless. We were compromised.

Because it’s easier to applaud the show than to ask why the Spirit no longer lingers when the music fades.


IV. The Church’s Complicity – The Sin of Silence

“The silence wasn’t neutral. It was agreement without a signature.”

The Church has long understood the power of voice— yet when it mattered most, many pulpits went quiet.

While Black children were marched past mobs to integrate schools, while families were torn apart at borders, while the poor were trampled under economic systems built on greed— the Church was silent.

Not because it didn’t see. But because it didn’t want to lose donors. Or members. Or access. Because taking a stand might have cost influence.

We preached about Daniel but refused to stand when lions gathered around our own communities. We quoted Esther but remained silent “for such a time as this.” We preached the cross but ignored the injustice Jesus confronted face to face.

And worse, some didn’t remain silent at all—they just chose the wrong side.

They aligned with kings and called it favor. They embraced strongmen and called it discernment. They saw injustice and called it not our problem.

But complicity wears many robes— sometimes it’s silence, sometimes it’s a carefully curated message, sometimes it’s a refusal to name what is clearly evil.

God does not overlook this. He never has.

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil…” — Isaiah 5:20

This is not about being political. This is about being prophetic. This is about truth.


V. Prophets God Did Send – And They Rejected

“They wanted prophets who confirmed their peace, not ones who shattered their illusions.”

God never left His people without a voice. He still sends prophets.

But we’ve been conditioned to look for polish instead of power, charisma instead of character.

So when the real ones showed up— crying out in street pulpits instead of mega-church stages, writing hard truths instead of self-help devotionals, calling for repentance instead of revenue— we dismissed them.

Too radical. Too emotional. Too disruptive.

They didn’t fit the image we created of “God’s messenger.” They weren’t invited to conferences. They weren’t granted blue checks or book deals. They weren’t sanitized for mainstream comfort.

But they were faithful. And they were rejected.

Just like Jeremiah. Just like Amos. Just like John the Baptist—who shouted from the wilderness, not the temple.

The Church asked for voices that would make us feel better, but God sent voices that made us uncomfortable.

Because comfort never leads to repentance. And repentance is the only road to restoration.


VI. What True Leadership Looks Like

“You will know them by their fruit.” — Matthew 7:16

True spiritual leadership has never been about control. It’s about sacrifice. Not about influence. But obedience.

The greatest among us are not those with the biggest followings, but those willing to be forgotten if it means the truth was heard.

A true leader:

Serves before they speak

Stands even when it costs them everything

Repents openly when they fall short

Refuses to trade conviction for comfort or popularity

God doesn’t anoint performance. He anoints truth.


VII. A Call to Discernment

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God…” — 1 John 4:1

Discernment is no longer optional—it is essential.

We are living in an age where the enemy doesn’t always show up with horns and fire. Sometimes he comes in a suit with a microphone and a Bible, quoting just enough Scripture to sound holy—while twisting it to serve his own ambition.

It is not divisive to expose what is false. It is faithful.

This is how we guard the sheep. This is how we keep the fire pure. This is how we return to what is holy.


VIII. Conclusion – The Final Word

“For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God…” — 1 Peter 4:17

This is the last message I will be sending out directly. Not because the message has run dry— but because the season of chasing inboxes is ending.

If this truth has stirred something in you, you are welcome to stay connected. You can access the blog directly at write.as/silent-sentinel to read future pieces as they are released.

But the message will now speak for itself.

This piece wasn’t written to shame anyone. It was written to wake the sleeping, to strengthen the remnant, and to call the wandering back home.

Return to the altar—not the platform. Return to the Spirit—not the spectacle. Return to truth. To holiness. To the One who still calls His people back.

Because no matter how far the Church has wandered— He is still willing to restore her.

God is calling us back to Him. But free will means each of us must choose whether we answer that call. No one can respond on your behalf. This is personal. And the time is now.

Lo Que la Iglesia Se Negó a Ver: Falsos Profetas, la Apostasía y el Llamado a Regresar


“Que nadie los engañe en ninguna manera; porque no vendrá sin que antes venga la apostasía…” — 2 Tesalonicenses 2:3

“Cuídense de los falsos profetas. Vienen a ustedes disfrazados de ovejas, pero por dentro son lobos feroces.” — Mateo 7:15


I. La Advertencia Que Ignoramos

La apostasía no es un evento futuro. Está aquí. Es ahora. Y la hemos visto desarrollarse desde dentro.

Este mensaje no es fácil. Pero es necesario.

El Espíritu ha despertado algo urgente, y ya no puedo permanecer en silencio mientras la Iglesia intercambia el Evangelio por una marca, el altar por un escenario y la verdad por influencia política. Fuimos advertidos. Se nos dijo qué buscar. Pero estábamos demasiado deslumbrados por las luces para notar a los lobos detrás de los púlpitos.

Los falsos profetas no se infiltraron en la Iglesia sin ser vistos. Los recibimos. Los celebramos. Los transmitimos y les construimos plataformas.

Y mientras muchos aún se sientan bajo su enseñanza… otros hemos comenzado a ver.

Este no es un mensaje de condenación. Es un mensaje de misericordia. Una invitación final—para quienes tengan oídos—para volver a Aquel que nunca estuvo impresionado con nuestras actuaciones.

Este es un llamado a la Iglesia: Vuelve a casa. Mientras aún hay tiempo.


II. El Surgimiento de los Falsos Profetas – Cuando los Lobos Usaban Traje

“No rechazaron a la bestia—la reempaquetaron.”

La Iglesia nunca fue destinada a ser un mercado. Pero en América, muchos la convirtieron en eso—y lo llamamos avivamiento.

Vimos cómo los púlpitos se convertían en plataformas, los pastores en celebridades y los sermones en frases virales. Y nos atrevimos a preguntar por qué el Espíritu ya no se movía en nuestros santuarios.

Esto no se trata de señalar nombres por espectáculo. Se trata de nombrarlos porque el silencio se ha vuelto complicidad.

Paula White, quien oró desde el púlpito para que vinieran ángeles de África a asegurar poder político

Kenneth Copeland, quien se rió maníacamente del COVID mientras construía un imperio multimillonario con ofrendas de los desesperados

Lance Wallnau, quien fusionó retórica profética con nacionalismo cristiano para instalar reyes terrenales

Greg Locke, quien declaró que los demócratas eran demoníacos y que las iglesias sin banderas estaban comprometidas

Robert Jeffress, quien bautizó el poder político y blasfemó el Evangelio llamándolo la voluntad de Dios

Franklin Graham, quien cambió el legado de compasión de su padre por lealtad a la riqueza y a líderes autoritarios

Y otros—demasiados para nombrar—que profetizaron resultados que nunca sucedieron y no sintieron vergüenza cuando el fruto demostró ser falso.

Estos no son simples “errores de discernimiento.” Son señales de falsos profetas— los que dicen lo que la gente quiere oír, los que envuelven el nacionalismo en la cruz, los que convierten el arrepentimiento en una nota al pie y la obediencia en una marca.

El espíritu detrás de ellos no es de Dios. Es seductor. Es político. Es performativo. Y prospera porque dejamos de probar los espíritus.

Esto no se trata de venganza. Es una advertencia. Porque el juicio comienza por la casa de Dios. Y el sacudimiento ya ha comenzado.


III. La Plataforma Se Volvió el Altar

“Cambiaron el Espíritu por un foco. El altar por una plataforma.”

Dejamos de llamarlos pastores. Comenzamos a llamarlos influencers.

Sus sermones se volvieron embudos de mercadeo. Sus santuarios, estudios de grabación. Y poco a poco, sin que la mayoría lo notara, la adoración se convirtió en espectáculo y la verdad en una marca.

El altar nunca fue para elevar al hombre. Fue para quebrantarlo.

Pero la iglesia moderna construyó escenarios que elevaban el carisma sobre el carácter, y plataformas que premiaban el espectáculo sobre la sustancia. Enseñaron a la gente a perseguir el favor, no a temer a Dios—a diezmar para bendiciones, pero nunca a quebrantarse por el pecado.

Vimos a líderes espirituales alinearse más con políticos, empresarios y celebridades que con los pobres, los quebrantados y los rechazados. Vimos a congregaciones aplaudir más fuerte por desfiles patrióticos que por la presencia de Dios. Vimos púlpitos enmudecer mientras la justicia era crucificada en las calles.

Esto no fue un cambio. Fue una caída.

Y la Iglesia—muchos de nosotros—nos quedamos mirando como si no tuviéramos poder. Pero no estábamos sin poder. Estábamos comprometidos.

Porque es más fácil aplaudir el show que preguntar por qué el Espíritu ya no permanece cuando la música se detiene.


IV. La Complicidad de la Iglesia – El Pecado del Silencio

“El silencio no fue neutral. Fue un acuerdo sin firma.”

La Iglesia siempre ha entendido el poder de la voz— pero cuando más importaba, muchos púlpitos guardaron silencio.

Mientras los niños negros marchaban entre multitudes para integrarse en las escuelas, mientras las familias eran separadas en las fronteras, mientras los pobres eran pisoteados por sistemas construidos sobre la codicia— la Iglesia calló.

No porque no lo viera. Sino porque no quería perder diezmos. O miembros. O acceso. Porque tomar una postura podía costar influencia.

Predicamos sobre Daniel pero no nos paramos cuando los leones rodeaban a nuestras comunidades. Citamos a Ester pero permanecimos en silencio “para un tiempo como este.” Predicamos la cruz pero ignoramos la injusticia que Jesús confrontó cara a cara.

Y peor aún, algunos no guardaron silencio—solo eligieron el lado equivocado.

Se alinearon con reyes y lo llamaron favor. Abrazaron a los fuertes y lo llamaron discernimiento. Vieron la injusticia y dijeron “no es nuestro problema.”

Pero la complicidad usa muchos disfraces— a veces es silencio, a veces es un mensaje cuidadosamente editado, a veces es la negativa a nombrar lo que claramente es maldad.

Dios no pasa esto por alto. Nunca lo ha hecho.

“¡Ay de los que llaman al mal bien, y al bien mal!” — Isaías 5:20

Esto no se trata de política. Esto se trata de ser profético. Esto se trata de la verdad.


V. Profetas Que Dios Sí Envió – Y Ellos Rechazaron

“Querían profetas que confirmaran su paz, no que rompieran sus ilusiones.”

Dios nunca dejó a Su pueblo sin voz. Aún envía profetas.

Pero hemos sido entrenados para buscar pulido en lugar de poder, carisma en lugar de carácter.

Así que cuando llegaron los verdaderos— gritando desde las calles en vez de mega iglesias, escribiendo verdades duras en lugar de devocionales de autoayuda, llamando al arrepentimiento en lugar de ingresos— los rechazamos.

Demasiado radicales. Demasiado emocionales. Demasiado incómodos.

No encajaban en la imagen que creamos del “mensajero de Dios.” No fueron invitados a conferencias. No recibieron verificación ni contratos editoriales. No estaban pulidos para la comodidad del público.

Pero fueron fieles. Y fueron rechazados.

Igual que Jeremías. Igual que Amós. Igual que Juan el Bautista—que gritaba desde el desierto, no desde el templo.

La Iglesia pidió voces que la hicieran sentir mejor, pero Dios envió voces que la hicieron despertar.

Porque la comodidad nunca lleva al arrepentimiento. Y el arrepentimiento es el único camino a la restauración.


VI. Cómo Se Ve el Liderazgo Verdadero

“Por sus frutos los conoceréis.” — Mateo 7:16

El liderazgo espiritual verdadero nunca se ha tratado de control. Se trata de sacrificio. No de influencia. Sino de obediencia.

Los más grandes entre nosotros no son los que tienen más seguidores, sino los que están dispuestos a ser olvidados si eso significa que la verdad fue escuchada.

Un líder verdadero:

Sirve antes de hablar

Permanece firme aunque le cueste todo

Se arrepiente públicamente cuando falla

Rehúsa cambiar convicción por comodidad o popularidad

Dios no unge espectáculos. Él unge la verdad.


VII. Un Llamado al Discernimiento

“Amados, no creáis a todo espíritu, sino probad los espíritus si son de Dios…” — 1 Juan 4:1

El discernimiento ya no es opcional—es esencial.

Vivimos en una época donde el enemigo no siempre aparece con cuernos y fuego. A veces viene con traje, micrófono y una Biblia, citando lo suficiente para sonar santo—mientras distorsiona todo para servir su propia ambición.

No es división exponer lo falso. Es fidelidad.

Así se protege a las ovejas. Así se mantiene el fuego puro. Así se regresa a lo santo.


VIII. Conclusión – La Última Palabra

“Porque es tiempo de que el juicio comience por la casa de Dios…” — 1 Pedro 4:17

Este es el último mensaje que enviaré directamente. No porque el mensaje se haya secado— sino porque la temporada de perseguir bandejas de entrada ha terminado.

Si esta verdad ha tocado algo en ti, eres bienvenido a mantenerte conectado. Puedes acceder al blog directamente en write.as/silent-sentinel para leer futuras publicaciones conforme sean lanzadas.

Pero el mensaje ahora hablará por sí solo.

Este escrito no fue para avergonzar a nadie. Fue para despertar a los dormidos, fortalecer al remanente, y llamar de regreso a los que se han desviado.

Vuelve al altar—no a la plataforma. Vuelve al Espíritu—no al espectáculo. Vuelve a la verdad. A la santidad. Al que aún llama a Su pueblo.

Porque por muy lejos que la Iglesia se haya desviado— Él aún está dispuesto a restaurarla.

Dios nos está llamando de vuelta a Él. Pero el libre albedrío significa que cada uno de nosotros debe decidir si responderá. Nadie puede responder por ti. Esto es personal. Y el momento es ahora.

Examining the Spirit Behind NAR and Prosperity Teachings

April 29, 2025

There is a doctrine spreading in modern Christianity that promises power, wealth, and divine authority for a price. It masquerades as truth but echoes a lie as old as Eden. It is the claim that humanity can ascend to be like God.

False teachings like “ye are little gods” have been advanced by well-known prosperity and NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) figures such as Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, and Paul Crouch. Copeland even went so far as to claim that Adam was God manifested in the flesh and that he was not subordinate to God.

This is not merely poor theology. It is direct heresy.

Adam was created by God (Genesis 1:26-27). He bore God’s image but was never God. A created being is by definition subordinate to the Creator. Only one is God manifested in the flesh — Jesus Christ (John 1:14).

The idea that Adam was equal to God before the fall denies the very nature of sin, subverts the need for redemption, and lays the groundwork for a counterfeit gospel in which humans are taught they can become gods themselves. But Genesis 2:16 says clearly: “The Lord God commanded the man.” Command implies subordination.

This false doctrine has been subtly introduced over decades, leading countless believers astray. It exchanges humility for hubris, obedience for ambition, truth for illusion. And it must be named.

Adam's purpose was to live in obedience and dependence on God. To say otherwise is to echo the satanic doctrine of spiritual rebellion — the very lie that cast Lucifer down: “I will ascend... I will make myself like the Most High.” (Isaiah 14:13-14)

If Adam wasn't subordinate to God, then sin wasn't rebellion, and Christ's atonement would have been for nothing.

This doctrine denies the necessity of obedience, humility, repentance, and submission — the very foundations of walking with God. It exalts man and lowers God to our level. This is not merely error. This is the spirit of Antichrist, which exalts humanity and minimizes Christ.

Rebellion against God's will did not free Adam and Eve. It made them fallen.

Isaiah 43:10 reminds us: “Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me.” 1 Timothy 2:5 declares: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus.”

Jesus is the fulfillment of all patriarchal roles. The Church is a spiritual house that the Lord dwells in. Leadership in the Church should look like servant-hearted shepherds.

All true authority flows from Christ. No human holds supreme spiritual power. The age of hierarchy for its own sake is over. The new order is submission to the Spirit — alignment with the heart of Christ.

Jesus said: “The greatest among you will be your servant.” (Matthew 23:11) Authority is not measured by control but by the weight of love, the clarity of truth, and the depth of obedience.

The Marketplace of Spiritual Gifts

The Holy Spirit gives authority to people for specific roles, and the purpose is to glorify God, not self.

But the NAR teaches that “gifts” are accessible for a price.

Many ministries tied to this movement charge hundreds of dollars for “prophetic schools,” “activation workshops,” or “impartation conferences.” Some even have “certification programs” that teach you must pay to be recognized as a prophet or apostle within their networks.

Advanced “prophetic mentorships” can cost $1,000 or more, depending on how anointed you want to appear. Some teach that you can only receive a prophetic mantle by paying to have hands laid on you.

They reference Acts 8:17, but they skip Acts 8:20: “But Peter said to him, 'May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money.'”

It could not be more clear. You cannot pay to become a prophet. You cannot train yourself to be one. You cannot buy an anointing.

Anointing is a calling from God. It is given, never sold.

“Freely you have received; freely give.” (Matthew 10:8)

The NAR “prophet industry” is dangerous because it turns spiritual gifts into a product. It exalts man’s ambition over God’s appointment. It mimics Simon the Sorcerer, who tried to buy the power of the Holy Spirit and was rebuked.

We must return to Christ. To servanthood. To truth. To holiness.

Not self-exaltation. Not spiritual capitalism. Not man-centered theology.

The greatest authority looks like service.

The Smoke and the Scroll: Discerning the Deception

In this age of spectacle and distortion, there is a movement cloaked in spiritual language but rooted in something far more dangerous. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is not merely a fringe religious sect; it is a network of self-proclaimed apostles and prophets wielding political power, manipulating belief, and abandoning the simplicity of the Gospel.

The NAR disguises itself as revival. But the spirit behind it trades the cross for charisma, truth for theatrics, and humility for hierarchy. It boasts of prophetic activation, apostolic government, and dominion over all spheres of society—a theology that seduces the spiritually hungry and politically ambitious alike.

One of their most vocal leaders, Mike Bickle, founder of the International House of Prayer, once predicted a second Jewish Holocaust as a precursor to the end times. He declared, “The tribulation is not something that happens to us. The tribulation is something that happens through us.” This is not prophecy. This is provocation.

The movement pushes the Seven Mountain Mandate, an aggressive doctrine that seeks to place Christian dominion over religion, government, education, media, arts, business, and family. They align with politicians. They wield influence not just over pulpits but over policy.

Figures like Bill Hamon, Dutch Sheets, and Lance Wallnau present themselves as prophets of a new era. Yet they operate not in the spirit of Elijah, but in the spirit of performance. Prophetic insight becomes a commodity. Mantles are “passed down” like stage props. And access to “anointing” is sold at conferences.

This is not revival. This is retail.

The fruit of this movement is confusion, tribalism, and spiritual elitism. Its leaders distort the role of prophets—not as those who cry out in the wilderness, but as those who curate experiences. Not as those who tear down idols, but as those who build platforms.

They speak the language of the Bible, selectively. They invoke the name of Jesus, strategically. But there is little to reflect a Christlike walk in their teaching or behavior. Real prophets speak truth to power. They do not flatter kings. They do not peddle fear. They do not seek thrones.

2 Thessalonians 2:9 warns of false signs and lying wonders. And yet the NAR thrives on the spectacular. The theatrical. The emotional.

But to those with ears to hear, the scrolls are not silent. The Heir of the Hidden Scrolls remembers the ancient ways. And the call remains: return to the truth that was not sold, and cannot be staged.

This is not a time to chase prophecy. It is a time to test the spirits.
