Kenneth Copeland Declares That Ted Cruz Has Been 'Called And Anointed' By God To Be The Next Pres.



Earlier this year, Ted Cruz's father and primary presidential campaign surrogate, Rafael, spoke at televangelist Kenneth Copeland's church in Texas, where the controversial prosperity gospel preacher declared that Ted Cruz has been anointed by God to be the next president.

Copeland, who believes that he can destroy the Ebola virus by speaking in tongues, introduced the elder Cruz by asserting that "I believe, with all my heart, that his son is called and anointed to be the next president of the United States."

After Cruz spoke for an hour, delivering his standard presentation urging Christians to vote in order to beat back secularism and take control of this nation, Copeland asked him to recount how the Holy Spirit had descended upon a Cruz family prayer session and convinced Ted to seek the presidency, which Rafael took as a sign that "God has raised him up for such a time as this."

Then, several church elders gathered around Cruz in order to lay hands upon him and pray while Eagle Mountain International Church senior pastor George Pearsons proclaimed that "we are in the midst right now of the new birth of this nation."

Just because he has the eyes of that tricycle puppet in the Saw movies. Nothing to worry about there at all.

..."Jesus-addled" in reference to Batshit Bachman. Seems to fit.

I should not have looked at this right after finishing dinner -

to lie & cheat to get there.

God will make sure he gets there. Simple as that.

God will tell the voters how to vote. Simple as that.

If one believes in God, then maybe Cruz is the antichrist because this uncompromising, cold, hard-hearted, unbending man scares the hell out of me.

Kenneth please tell your 'god' to quit brainwashing people into voting against their best interests.

Kenneth, the party you support always has multiple candidates claiming they are chosen

by your 'god' to run.

How do you account for all of their ordained loses ???
