Bethel Church and Joels Army

Joel's Army is a spiritual warfare movement based on Joel 2:1-2

Dominionism is also known as the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), Joel's Army or the Seven Mountains Mandate

New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a dominionist movement that also goes by names like Third Wave, Seven Mountains, Latter Rain, Kingdom Now, Joel’s Army, Manifest Sons of God, Charismatic Renewal,etc...

Dominionism is a movement that began in the 1970s with Calvinist roots, teaching that the Biblical admonition for Christians to 'take dominion' over all the earth includes taking dominion over civil government and law, and that civil law should be based on Biblical teachings.

Of course the Seven Mountain Mandate requires an army, Joels army. |
“Joel’s Army” sees itself as soldiers that God is raising up during the last days
to perform miracles, execute judgment, and take dominion on earth before Christ returns.


A leader of the dominionists, Rick Joyner, has authored a book called The Final Quest
based on his dreams and visions which describe the militant and violent takeover
(he terms this the coming "civil war") of other Christians
(namely, the ones that read the Bible and think for themselves) and civil society.

Young children will cast out demons, heal the sick, raise the dead, and divert raging floods with a word. Some will actually take dominion over entire hospitals and mental institutions, healing every patient in them by laying hands on the buildings” I have personally heard a delusional Bethel devote lay hands one night on the Coroners building trying to raise the dead inside and heard "rustling noises inside."

How nuts is the Bethel New Apostolic Reformation?
