If I’m not mistaken, didn’t Cruz and family pray and felt that God told them he was the choice in this cycle? I guess the devil won out?

Nope, God won

God answers our prayers. Sometimes the answer is no.

“If I’m not mistaken, didn’t Cruz and family pray and felt that God told them he was the choice in this cycle? “

Ted, Heidi, and Ted’s dad were praying about whether Ted should run for president. Heidi Heidi said she received this word from God: “Seek God’s face, not God’s hand.”

Now, I would have interpreted that to mean DON’T RUN; but Ted interpreted it that he should run.

Quote from the story:

---

“After the church service, we all gathered at the pastor’s office,” said Cruz, who is a pastor himself. “We were on our knees for two hours seeking God’s will. At the end of that time, a word came through his wife, Heidi. And the word came, just saying, ‘Seek God’s face, not God’s hand.’”

Cruz said he then felt as if a “cloud of the Holy Spirit” had filled the room.

“Some of us were weeping, and Ted just looked up and said, ‘Lord, here am I, use me. I surrender to you, whatever you want,’” he said. “And it was as he felt that was a green light to move forward.”
