Michael Flynn - Spiritual Warfare General
Summary
Part I: Michael Flynn — Spiritual Warfare General
Michael Flynn was raised Catholic, so ostensibly he’s a far cry from the Independent Charismatics of this series. But in recent years he’s adopted a very Charismatic vocabulary of spiritual warfare and the need for an army of God’s warriors to do battle in American politics. It is one thing to hear pastors or even worship leaders talk about spiritual warfare and “expanding spiritual territory,” but this language of warfare and prayer weapons systems and spiritual adversaries sure has a different resonance coming out of the mouth of a literal general.
How did this language and this logic of spiritual warfare enter into and become ingrained in American politics? What role did spiritual warfare paradigms play in the Capitol Riot? And what does it have to do with the New Apostolic Reformation?
