Ted Cruz’s Father: My Son “Anointed” To “Take Control of Society”..

n a sermon last year at an Irving, Texas, megachurch that helped elect Ted Cruz to the United States Senate, Cruz’ father Rafael Cruz indicated that his son was among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as “kings” to take control of all sectors of society, an agenda commonly referred to as the “Seven Mountains” mandate, and “bring the spoils of war to the priests”, thus helping to bring about a prophesied “great transfer of wealth”, from the “wicked” to righteous gentile believers.

Ah....okay. I mean, I kinda am religious in that I talk to God whenever I want to and usually when alone down in the barn, but I never thought I might be anointed to rule over the whole of society.

I know there are people that deeply believe in this sort of religious thought, but I do not think it will transfer well in the general election, muck less out of Iowa.

Is this for real?

[abigkahuna]

yup, at the link is a youtube video of the sermon.

A little humility is needed if this is true

[parksstp]

No, it’s another crap hit piece by Trumpsters using their favorite BS poster at Conservative Treehouse.

Seriously, Sundance sounds like one of those Ron Paul nutcases or a DNC operative.

What the hell?

This might play well in some circles, but I don't think this line of play is going to be successful in the long run.

Let's be charitable and chalk it up to a proud father getting a little carried away. I've been there myself.

http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/01/17/ted-cruzs-father-my-son-anointed-to-take-control-of-society/ His Father is a raving, lunatic fringe, religious nut case. If he ever got the nomination, the Media would use his Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs family to destroy him.

Well there goes the accusation that Trump supporters are cultist. No wonder Cruz does not think ‘original intent’ of the Constitution applies to him.. he's on a mission from GAWD.

[Just mythoughts]

So Cruz’s father did not proclaim this, it is a lie?

[tennmountainman]

It will play well for the few religious groups that pass snakes around in church.

Here is the actual video on youtube of the sermon I believe, dated August 26 2012 in where Rafael Cruz makes the statements. Don’t shoot the messenger just because you don’t like the statements made by the father.

Good Grief.

Its over Trump looses Cruz has been anointed

[datura]

I've heard some refer to them as creepy - especially after that 5 minute coaching video and the campaign contribution begging one - as being "Adams Family creepy".

I wrote it off as BS, until I watched that one....

...it's another crap hit piece by Trumpsters using their favorite BS poster at Conservative Treehouse.

It's not a "hit piece", if it's true. Video of Raphael Cruz's sermon is embedded within the article at the link. Watch it.

Interesting stuff begins around 1’ 30” in.

[TigerClaws]

Basically they are praying for Ted.

This is a low blow. I guess if Christ scares voters they’d have a problem with church.

But this is a pathetic hit piece.

[HarleyLady27]

It isn’t a hit piece by any means...it’s real folks!!!

[TontoKowalski]

I was talking about the "Annointed to Control Society" part, which was bad enough.

However, after going to the article, I'm inclined to agree with you. It goes farther than that.

Anointed as a "King" in the political realm? Definitely snake-handler stuff.
