John and Charles discuss the roots of the modern deliverance movement and its deep ties to the Latter Rain revival and the rise of the New Apostolic Reformation. They open by challenging the manipulative theatrics often seen in deliverance circles, emphasizing how these practices prey on those lacking critical thinking. Charles focuses on identifying whether post-message movements are safe for former followers, while John stresses transparency in documenting the historical record—especially when modern ministries attempt to erase or sanitize their origins.<br /><br />A major focus is Derek Prince, his involvement in the Latter Rain offshoots, and his central role in the Shepherding Movement. Though Prince later distanced himself from the movement, Charles points out that his teachings—especially on authoritarian five-fold ministry and harmful deliverance doctrines—remained consistent throughout his career. They critique the cult-like structures built on these teachings and set the stage for the next discussion on how figures like John Wimber and Lonnie Frisbee helped spread this ideology through the Jesus People Movement.<br /><br />00:00 Introduction<br />04:11 The Latter Rain roots of the deliverance movement<br />10:15 Why Charles avoids all branches of Latter Rain<br />14:28 Sharon Orphanage and the birth of Latter Rain<br />17:59 Shepherding Movement’s formation and growth<br />25:06 How cult structures enabled abusive leadership<br />30:50 Derek Prince’s legacy in deliverance and five-fold ministry<br />37:58 From Seattle to Fort Lauderdale: spreading the ideology<br />48:51 Pat Robertson’s conflict with Shepherding leaders<br />52:00 Recanting, reputation, and unresolved harm<br />57:53 Lasting influence despite later denials<br />1:00:55 Next episode preview: Wimber, Frisbee, and the Jesus People Movement<br />______________________<br />Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:<br />Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962<br />Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K<br />______________________<br />– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham<br />– Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ<br />– Visit the website: https://william-branham.org<br />– Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WilliamBranhamOrg <br />– Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@william.m.branham<br />– Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wmbhr<br />– Buy the books: https://william-branham.org/site/books
