In 1999 Pierce was a founder and is one of the current leaders of the
New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), a term associated with fellow founder
C. Peter Wagner. The New Apostolic Reformation is a
neo-charismatic dominionist movement, run by the "spiritual oligarchy" of
independent networks of
apostles and prophets, which seeks to set up a
theocracy in the United States. It intends to do this through the
Seven Mountain Mandate, which states that Christians should control seven aspects of society: family, religion, education, media, arts and entertainment, business, and government. Pierce, along with fellow apostle
Dutch Sheets, wrote the book
Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation in 2005. It is an account of prophecies delivered by both authors while on a tour of the 50 states of the US. Those that participate in the NAR see themselves as being in a
spiritual battle with
demonic forces and expect that God will enter the war soon and deliver them to victory. Pierce is a member of Wagner's
Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, along with other prophets such as
Cindy Jacobs,
Mike Bickle,
Dutch Sheets, and James Goll. ==Criticism==
