RISE RADIO – Christian Perspective on Social Narratives

What are the dangers of the New Apostolic Reformation?

Tonight we look at methods of mind control and hypnosis used in cults. There are many unhealthy groups and movements (such as Bethel Music, Hillsong, Elevation, Jesus Culture, Jesus image) in our day, and its vital to know the signs to look for.

During the episode we discuss:

- How music is misused to brainwash people into false doctrine
- The tactics of mind control and its effects
- Methods that cults employ to draw people in
- Domination & Seduction and the references to these influences in Revelation
- We take a caller from Montana, USA, who voices his concern about counterfeit spiritual movements that call themselves Christianity

God doesn't mind control us, or bypass our reasoning with the Gospel.

Isaiah 1:18a
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow...

What is the connection between Vatican II and the New Age Movement?

Tonights guest is Christian J. Pinto, director and producer of American Jesuits: A History of Jesuitism in the United States.
We draw on his expertise in research about the Jesuit order to determine why Jesuit author Teilhard de Chardin was known as the “Father of the New Age”.
How did his alleged involvement with the “missing link” hoax in 1912 (known as The Piltdown Man) relate to the overarching agenda to connect science with spirituality and push the gnostic belief in Spiritual Evolution beyond the Creator.
This episode also covers:
- Vatican II
- Globalisation
- Ecumenism
- Adam Weishaupt (Enlightenment beliefs)
- Jesuit Theatre and Tactics
- Transhumanism (Evolutionary Materialism meets Mysticism)

And more…

A New Age Takeover of Society, or NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) Dominionism?
What are the similarities?
Join us as we explore where both views merge together, with ex-new age author Doreen Virtue.
Doreen has experience of both movements in her past and takes us through both concepts of dominion and the similarities that link both philosophies and how to differentiate what is healthy.

In this episode we cover:
- What is the meaning of Dominionism?
- What is a healthy vs unhealthy view of influence on culture and society?
- The Mysticism link between New Age and NAR
- What is our goal in the world as Christians? Is it to take it by force? Or share the Gospel first in order to have an effect on others?
- How society has changed since the 1950s
- Encouragement for those who are seeking the truth of the Bible

Tonight we are talking about the doctrines of demons behind agendas which are being pushed forward by the New Age Movement and the inter-dimensional Alien narrative.

We see ancient deceptions infiltrating peoples minds and worldview as they become convinced that humanity wasn’t created by the God of the Bible, but instead we were 'seeded on the earth' by an advanced group of highly evolved beings.

However, as we dig into where these ideas originate, and its influences in the modern new age movement, we discover something very disturbing.

From a Christian perspective, these are teachings of demons being popularised in our times. And many of these writings have been channelled by deceiving spirits.

Tonight we speak with Adira Polite (Then God Moved), after her raw and inspiring life testimony was published on Christianity Today, in an article entitled "Coming Out Christian".
Adira was heavily involved in Woke Activism at her University Campus, but her life turned around when she was gradually drawn towards God. She'd heard some Bible stories growing up, but felt that she would not be able to become a Christian due to her own personal struggles.

But after years of pursuing an alternate lifestyle and campaigning for liberal causes, Adira began to question her lifestyle, faith and beliefs. In the midst of the "road to hell" she was on, she began to yearn for something real and tangible that was not rooted in traumatic and negative events growing up. But instead to really discover who God designed her to be in Christ.

This is a powerful story for all those who have been confronted with the same questions. Due to the subject matter, listener discretion is advised.
