Thursday Afternoon, October 31, 2024PENTAGON GENERAL EXPOSED BY MRFF AS NEW APOSTOLIC REFORMATION (NAR) ADHERENT ALSO TIED TO ELECTION DENIERS AND JAN. 6 SUPPORTERS

On the weekend of August 29-31, 2024, U.S. Army Lieutenant General Brian Eifler, who recently got his third star and a new position as Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel of the United States Army, was photographed giving a presentation – in uniform – at New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) Apostle Cindy Jacobs’s annual Reformation Prayer Network gathering in D.C.
During the Eiflers’ three years in Alaska, from 2021 until this past summer, Lt. General Eifler’s wife, Sherry, became a member of “Alaska’s War Council,” part of the extensive network of prophets, apostles, and kingdom warriors known as the New Apostolic Reformation — a politically influential Christian dominionist movement that seeks to end democracy as we know it.
Now MRFF has uncovered that Lt. General Eifler also has a disturbingly close connection to “Stop the Steal” election deniers who helped foment the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Pentagon general exposed by MRFF as NAR adherent tied to election deniers and Jan. 6 supporters
By: MRFF Senior Research Director Chris Rodda
Thursday, October 31, 2024“I truly believe Charlie Kirk is the most important man in America for the future of our nation,” wrote self-described “high risk humanitarian” Victor Marx in a December 2023 Instagram post.Who would wholeheartedly agree with Victor Marx’s praise of Kirk? Well, Don Jr., for one, who very similarly said of Kirk in a quote on the Turning Point USA website, “I’m convinced that the work by Turning Point USA and Charlie Kirk will win back the future of America.”
Victor Marx, who was James Dobson’s assistant at the brazenly Christian nationalistic Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs before founding his own All Things Possible ministry, and Charlie Kirk, the founder and president of the Trump-loving, election-denying, insurrection-supporting, wokeism-fighting Turning Point USA, have much mutual admiration of each other. 
Kirk gushes like a schoolgirl about Victor Marx on his radio show, on which Marx has appeared a number of times. Marx has also spoken at Turning Point USA events, joining the list of such luminaries as Don Jr., Tucker Carlson, and Kyle Rittenhouse. Kirk wrote the foreword to Marx’s new book The Dangerous Gentleman: A Call For Men to be Courageous in a Culture of Fear, describing Marx as “a dear friend for many years” and, on the page for one of his radio show episodes, as “one of Christ’s great warriors and a longtime friend of the show.” 
Victor Marx is a black belt in karate who can do neat tricks like disarming someone with a gun faster than anyone else ever, and he can also expel demons from people! Yes, he does a hell of a lot of expelling demons, who he says are “assigned to” people.
Charlie Kirk was, of course, a big “Stop the Steal” figure, leading a protest in his own state of Arizona and sending busloads of Trump-supporters to Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, tweeting two days before the insurrection: “The historic event will likely be one of the largest and most consequential in American history. The team at @TrumpStudents & Turning Point Action are honored to help make this happen, sending 80+ buses full of patriots to DC to fight for this president.” 
This is the third post in an ongoing exposé by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) of U.S. Army Lieutenant General Brian Eifler and his disturbing ties to the dangerously politically powerful New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and other nefarious elements that seek to end democracy as we know it.
My September 13 post, “MRFF demands investigation of 3-Star Pentagon general’s disturbing ties to New Apostolic Reformation,” exposed that Lt. General Eifler delivered a presentation, in full uniform, at New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) Apostle Cindy Jacobs’s annual Reformation Prayer Network gathering in Washington, D.C. U.S. Army Lt. General Brian Eifler speaking in uniform at New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) Apostle Cindy Jacobs’s annual Reformation Prayer Network gathering, held in Washington, D.C., from August 29-31, 2024 So, what does all the stuff about Victor Marx and Charlie Kirk at the beginning of this post have to do with Lt. General Eifler? Well, Charlie Kirk’s “dear friend for many years” Victor Marx is also Lt. General Eifler’s close friend of many years.
Here’s Marx’s Facebook post from 2021 about officiating at the Eifler’s daughter’s wedding.And here’s Lt. General Eifler’s wife Sherry with Marx and his wife Eileen back in 2018. Eileen Marx wrote a blurb for Sherry Eifler’s Bible study Royal Reflections: The Making of a Warrior Princess, and Sherry Eifler donates part of the book’s proceeds to Marx’s All Things Possible ministry.Now, what if I told you that Lt. General Eifler, as Commanding General, 11th Airborne Division/Deputy Commander, United States Alaskan Command, got his (and Charlie Kirk’s) buddy Victor Marx a DoD contract to come to Alaska as part of his “Targeted Soul Care” campaign and that Eifler, then a 2-star general, made it mandatory for all personnel under his command to go listen to him. Yeah, he did that.The order above also required the chaplains to provide “photography and videography support to Targeted Soul Care on JBER and FWA from 20- 27 Apr 22,” and the following video about this mandatory Christian “training” — in a chapel, with the videographer making sure to get a good shot of the stained glass window of Jesus walking with a soldier — was apparently the result. Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson official Victor Marx video Mandatory Victor Marx “training” at Fort WainwrightLt. General Eifler regularly forced his religion on the soldiers at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) and Fort Wainwright (FWA) in a number of other thoroughly appalling ways during the three years that he was in command in Alaska, not the least of which was having one of the NAR’s “Alaska’s War Council” leaders bless the troops in the name of Jesus at the large mandatory 11th Airborne Division activation ceremony at Fort Wainwright, but these other flagrant and outrageous violations of both military regulations and the Constitution will have to wait until my next post.
Under normal circumstances, the main issue of concern to MRFF with Lt. Gen. Eifler’s “Targeted Soul Care” Victor Marx events would be that a commanding general was forcing the soldiers under his command to attend mandatory religious “training.” But, just like MRFF’s main concern with Lt. Gen. Eifler’s participation in NAR Apostle Cindy Jacobs’s big annual Reformation Prayer Network gathering in uniform wasn’t merely that he was speaking at a religious event in uniform but that he was participating in an event of a dangerous, subversive, politically powerful movement that seeks to end democracy as we know it, Eifler’s close friendship with someone who’s on the same page as Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA is of even greater concern.
At the time of the Jan. 6 insurrection, Lt. General Eifler, then a 1-star general, was stationed at the Pentagon as the Army’s Chief Legislative Liaison, which makes it all the more disconcerting that he has such disturbingly close connections to both NAR Apostle Cindy Jacobs, one of the Trump-supporting prayer leaders outside the Capitol Building on Jan. 6, who was caught on video saying, as the breach of the Capitol was getting underway, “And we’re right in front of the Capitol and the lord had given me a vision and he showed me that they would break through and go all the way to the top,” and Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, which sent buses of Trump supporters to D.C. on Jan. 6.
As I reported on September 25 the Army IG has opened an investigative inquiry into Lt. General Eifler in response to MRFF’s demand, but to end on a frightening note, if the unthinkable happens on election day and Trump gets into power and makes good on his vow to rid the military of “woke” generals, what we’ll be left with to lead our military will be generals of Eifler’s ilk.Click to read on Daily KosPrevious posts in MRFF’s ongoing exposé of NAR-entwined U.S. Army Lt.

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.

ProPublica

Evan Hurst focuses on both New Apostolic Reformation and the TheoBros, noting about NAR that it holds that,

"Christians have a mandate from Heaven to exert dominion over what they call the seven 'mountains' of American life — family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government. There is no room for democracy in this movement, it’s authoritarian, and it craves a dictator."

Let's Meet J.D. Vance's Creepy Crawly Christian Fascist Friends!

America's most dangerous white supremacist Christian nationalists are rooting hard for their boy.

The Moral High Ground

"According to The New Republic, 'a central tenet of NAR’s belief system is that it is God’s will for Christians to take control of all aspects of U.S. society…to create a religious nation.'

And for NAR leaders like Wallnau, the path toward that Christian nation has been to lift up Donald Trump into the halls of power."

I Went to See J.D. Vance’s Most Controversial Campaign Stop Yet. What I Saw Was Telling.

He made every effort to avoid the elephant in the room.

Slate

“Wallnau suggested America was faced with a choice between anarchy, a Satanic agenda channeled through Democrats, and embracing Christianity under Trump's leadership”

Wallnau's theology

“During the #CourageTour, #Wallnau and other speakers use many terms to describe themselves and their religious movement: “#evangelical,” “#pentecostal,” “#charismatic,” “#revivalist,” “#prophetic.” One term that is never used is “#NewApostolicReformation” (#NAR).”

"Now his Courage Tour outfit is selling stem-cell therapy at a cost of $3,500 to $6,500 and the promise that this cure "could be what you have been praying for.”

The grift goes with the pseudo-religion. Always.

The "back" to which they want to take us is to a dark period when people babbled about demons and witches and believed talismans would cure what ailed them.
