C. Peter Wagner, who died in 2016,
wrote dozens of additional books with titles such as
"Dominion!"
and "Churchquake!"
The movement allowed Christianity to be changed and updated,
embracing the idea that God was raising new apostles and prophets
who could not only interpret ancient scripture
but deliver
“fresh words” and dreams from heaven
on a rolling, even daily basis.
One of Wagner’s most talented acolytes,
a preacher named
#Lance #Wallnau,
repackaged the concept of dominionism into what he popularized as the
👉“7 Mountain Mandate,”
essentially an action plan for how Christians could dominate the seven spheres of life
—government, education, media, and the four others posted on the walls
like targets at Gateway House of Prayer.
What happened next is the story of these ideas spreading far and wide
into an American culture primed to accept them.
Churches interested in growing found that the NAR formula worked,
delivering followers a sense of purpose and value in the Kingdom.
Many started hosting “7M” seminars
and offering coaching and webinars,
which often drew wealthy businesspeople into the fold.
After the 2016 election, a group of the nation’s ultra-wealthy conservative Christians
organized as an invitation-only charity called #Ziklag,
a reference to the biblical city where David found refuge during his war against King Saul.
According to an investigation by ProPublica,
the group stated in internal documents that its purpose was to
“take dominion over the Seven Mountains.”
Wallnau is an adviser.
By last year, 42 percent of American Christians agreed with the statement
“God wants Christians to stand atop the ‘7 Mountains of Society,’ ”
according to Paul Djupe, a Denison University political scientist
who has been developing new surveys to capture what he and others describe as a
“fundamental shift” in American Christianity.
Roughly 61 percent agreed with the statement that
“there are modern-day apostles and prophets.”
Roughly half agreed that
“there are demonic ‘principalities’ and ‘powers’
who control physical territory,”
and that the Church should
“organize campaigns of spiritual warfare and prayer to displace high-level demons.”
Overall, Djupe told me, the nation continues to become more secular.
In 1991, only 6 percent of Americans identified as nonreligious,
a figure that is now about 30 percent.
But the Christians who remain are becoming more radical.
“They are taking on these extreme beliefs that give them a sense of power
—they believe they have the power to change the nature of the Earth,” Djupe said.
“The adoption of these sort of beliefs is happening incredibly fast.”

JD #Vance Campaign Event With Christian Right Leaders May Have Violated #Tax and #Election Laws, Experts Say
—
#Ziklag and the Courage Tour, the far-right groups that hosted the #Republican vice-presidential nominee, are charities that can’t legally intervene in #political campaigns.

Republican vice-presidential nominee JD #Vance’s appearance at a far-right Christian #revival #tour last month
💥may have broken tax and election laws, experts say.
On Sept. 28, Vance held an official campaign event in Monroeville, Pennsylvania,
in partnership with the
"Courage Tour",
a series of swing-state rallies hosted by a pro-Trump Christian influencer that combine prayer, public speakers,
👉tutorials on how to become a poll worker and get-out-the-vote programming.
#Ziklag, a secretive organization of wealthy Christians, funds the Courage Tour,
according to previously unreported documents obtained by ProPublica and Documented.
🔥A private donor video produced by Ziklag said the group intended to spend $700,000 in 2024 to mobilize Christian voters by funding
“targeted rallies in swing states”
led by #Lance #Wallnau, the pro-Trump influencer.
Even before the Vance event, ProPublica previously reported that tax experts believed Ziklag’s 2024 ❌election-related efforts could be in violation of tax law.
The Vance event, they said, raised even more red flags about whether a 🆘 tax-exempt charity had improperly benefited the Trump-Vance campaign.

A secretive network of wealthy Christians, #Ziklag, is working to influence the 2024 election by purging over a million voters in key states and mobilizing Republican support for #DonaldTrump. The organization’s efforts include the "Steeplechase" initiative to use churches for voter mobilization, "Watchtower" to oppose transgender rights, and "Checkmate" to fund election integrity groups, reflecting a broader goal to establish Christian nationalism in the U.S.
