Lance Wallnau says Trump was chosen by God for president
In the midst of today’s chaotic times, evangelical Christians have found a leader in former President Donald Trump through the efforts of grassroots evangelist Lance Wallnau. Initially met with skepticism, Wallnau’s message resonated with many followers who saw Trump as divinely chosen to steer the nation through tumultuous waters.
Wallnau’s “Courage Tour” traverses key battleground counties, uniting religious and political activism to mobilize voters The Seven Mountain Mandate, an ideology championed by Wallnau, emphasizes religious and political dominion across various sectors of society. It has gained traction, blending religious beliefs with political aspirations.
The tour aims to recruit pro-Trump evangelicals, urging them to focus on Trump’s stances on crucial issues like abortion, gender, and Israel, rather than dwell on his past controversies. Wallnau, alongside other speakers like Joshua Standifer, energizes audiences with talks on the importance of Christian involvement in politics and elections.
At a recent event in Wisconsin, Wallnau’s message drew hundreds of attendees and thousands more watched online. The unmistakably political tone of the revival seeks to motivate charismatic Christians to rally behind Trump for the upcoming election and beyond.
Wallnau’s belief in a divine mandate for Trump echoes back to Trump’s initial campaign in 2015 when charismatic leaders like Paula White-Cain validated Trump as God’s chosen instrument. This sentiment has been echoed by Wallnau and others, portraying Trump as a modern-day Cyrus, destined to fulfill a higher purpose.
Despite Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election, fervent charismatic Christians, including Wallnau, supported Trump’s claims of election fraud leading up to the Capitol riots on Jan. 6. This event, framed by some as an “election fraud intervention,” further emphasized the narrative of a stolen election that energized Trump supporters.
For Wallnau and his followers, the 2020 election symbolizes a battle between good and evil. Using apocalyptic rhetoric, he depicts a spiritual war against forces he perceives as aligned against Trump, such as academia, media, and government entities.
Wallnau’s call to action is clear – believers must engage actively in shaping culture and politics to counter the perceived negative influences. The goal is not just to win an election but to assert a divine will through political action and religious fervor.
As the evangelical movement gains momentum, led by figures like Wallnau, the fusion of faith and politics continues to shape the landscape of American society. Their unwavering support for Trump signifies more than just a political allegiance but a spiritual fervor to enact what they believe is God’s will on earth.
