National Day of Prayer Not Evangelical Christian Origin, Instead Its The New Apostolic Movement

President Obama is a Protestant Christian not a New Apostolic Reformer. That is why the national day of prayer is aprayer for democracy to end with the installation of theology to begin. Be careful who you pray with!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Apostolic_Reformation
The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a title used to describe a movement that seeks to establish a fourth house within Christendom, distinct from Catholicism, Protestant Christianity and the Latter Day Saint movement, largely associated with the Pentecostal and the Charismatic movements. Its fundamental difference from other movements is the belief that the lost offices of church governance, namely the offices of prophet and apostle are being restored.[1] Inspired by the G12 movement, it grows by discreetly recruiting pastors of independent congregations and nondenominational churches, by assimilating members from other churches through cell group meetings, and by frequent Church planting and rapid cytokinesis, including foreign missions around the globe. The churches spun out therefrom then form a loose network with a tightly knit history that serves as the basis of an otherwise informal and generally unadvertised far ranging governmental structure. With this strategy, it expects to rapidly overwhelm and dominate the preexisting Christian denominations in the world.

My comment: This NAR is run by living men called Apostles and Prophets not the Evangelical Protestant Movement based on Jesus and the Great Commission. The Biblical Prophet Paul, taught separation of church and state (separation of faith and law).

back to source:
Apostles

The primary role of apostles, as taught in the NAR movement, is to govern the church. They are seen by many NAR leaders as filling the highest office in church government above prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Thus, they are often referred to as the movement's "generals."

Like prophets in the NAR movement, apostles can give new divine revelation. But their distinct task is the implementation of the new revelation given by NAR apostles and prophets.16 Thus, they receive new revelation, determine its proper application in the church, and instruct their followers on how to properly respond to the new revelation.

Prophets

The primary role of prophets, as taught in the NAR movement, is to receive new divine revelation.17 Thus, prophets are seen by many NAR leaders as filling the second highest office in church government second only to the apostles.

Though prophets are often viewed as second in authority to apostles, it should be noted that some prominent NAR leaders, such as prophet Bill Hamon, see prophets and apostles as equal partners.18 This difference aside, most NAR leaders, including Hamon, teach either explicitly or through implication that apostles and prophets together fill the two highest offices in church government.19 The reason for their greater authority is because these two offices alone receive and implement new divine revelation. Pastors, teachers and evangelists -- in contrast -- do not generally receive new revelation, according to NAR leaders. Thus, their roles are limited to teaching the new revelation that has been received by the NAR apostles and prophets and the older revelation contained in the Bible.20

NAR prophets are not expected to be 100 percent accurate in their predictions. Thus, they still can be considered legitimate prophets even when they make errors. (more at site source)

Not the National Day of Prayer, which is in May:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Day_of_Prayer

The former was set up by The Fellowship Foundation, aka The Family. The latter was set up by law, pretending that it is not an example of the establishment of religion, and ignoring that pesky First Amendment.

If there's a link between The Family and the NAR, you may as well post it, since your links don't show it.
