Palin's Crazy Church

Sarah Palin's Churches
Sarah Palin's churches, her key churches, especially the Wasilla Assembly of God which Palin has as governor of Alaska endorsed and been endorsed by ( in PR and advertising this is called "co-branding" ) are in a religious movement that's independent from any Christian denomination and which falls under the umbrella of the New Apostolic Reformation, of "Third Wave". This movement is NOT the same as Pentecostalism of the Asssemblies of God. Indeed, the General Council of the Assemblies of God decried the movement as a heresy in 1949 and in 2000.
Troutfishing's diary :: ::

The New Apostolic Reformation movement rejects separation of church and state and tells believers they have a god-given mandate to take control of the world and drive out evil and demons that control whole geographic areas.
The movement is HIGHLY focused on youth and on raising up a last generation so-called "Joel's Army" that will be given supernatural powers and will cleanse the world of evil.
The movement uses what it terms "strategic level spiritual warfare", which drives out demon powers from geographic areas. These demon-powers get mapped out by the World Prayer Center, in Colorado Springs. The idea is that when when these demon-powers are driven out crime, divorce and other social problems will be greatly reduced or will go away altogether.
Sarah Palin has touted being prayed over, anointed really, by a leader in expelling territorial demons, a Kenyan minister who made his reputation by supposedly expelling the "spirit of witchcraft" from a Nairobi suburb. But the record shows that crime rates have not significantly changed.
***As has been discussed in a recent Salon.com article, Sarah Palin appears to be a long-time political activist in the Christian conservative movement. Beyond that, Palin specifically has chosen to be publicly endorsed before large crowds if people, by pastors from the Wasilla Assembly of God and other Third Wave / New Apostolic Reformation churches that Palin has, of her own free will, chosen to attend.That's why religious doctrines taught at Palin's churches are relevant. GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin has--through being publicly endorsed by leaders of those churches, which she herself has chosen to attend (of her own free will)--tacitly endorsed those very pastors and their churches. Thus, by extension, Palin has endorsed the Third Wave / New Apostolic Reformation and its doctrine, because churches Palin goes to and has gone to, especially her 25+ year church, the Wasilla Assembly of God, teach Third Wave / New Apostolic Reformation doctine. Wasilla Assembly of God teaches and promotes books and curricula from Rick Joyner, John Bevere and Francis Frangipane, and Wasilla AoG Master's Commission students have gone both to Morningstar Ministry for a "Prophetic conference" and also to the "LA Dream Center". The Wassila Assembly of God is co-hosting, in October, a "prophetic conference" with Morningstar that will be led by the head of Morningstar's prophecy program, Steve Thompson. Meanwhile, the longtime pastor at Palin's Juneau church, the Juneau Christian Center, is a close associate of the father of the "Holy Laughter" anointing, Rodney Howard-Browne. To mention a few of the many connections between Palin's churches and Third Wave / New Apostolic ReformationIf Palin had chosen to appear onstage and been endorsed by leaders of the National Council of Churches that would be interpreted as her endorsement of beliefs held by those groups. Likewise, if she had been appeared onstage with and been endorsed by leaders of Neo-Nazi or Klan groups the same would apply.

Palin has also supported Jews for Jesus and Messianic Judaism two groups which seek to convert Jews into apostacy. Palin's Assembly of God congregation teaches that Jews will burn in hell for rejecting jesus.
