Ted Cruz, King of the Seventh Mountain, by @DavidOAtkins

In 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. link to video of Rafael Cruz describing the "great transfer of wealth" and the role of anointed "kings" in various sectors of society, including government, who are to "bring the spoils of war to the priests".

Rafael Cruz' dominionist sermon given August 26, 2012, at the New Beginnings Church of pastor Larry Huch, in Irving, Texas has already received considerable scrutiny due to an excellent Huffington Post commentary by Methodist Associate Pastor Morgan Guyton, who noted the explicitly dominionist nature of pastor Cruz' sermon, which concerned the divine mandate for believers, with anointing of "kings" in their respective spheres, to take control over all sectors of society.

Cruz spoke of "Kings who are anointed to go to war, win the war, and bring the spoils of war to the priests."

Discussion of the now-notorious speech by Rafael Cruz has missed the fact that Ted Cruz was subsequently blessed and anointed by prominent dominionist pastors, in effect as a "king" in the political/governmental sphere, at a special blessing ceremony at the Marriott Hotel in Des Moines, Iowa, at a July 19th-20th 2013 rally designed to draw pastors into politics.

In 1975 Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade,
and Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With a Mission,
had lunch together.

God simultaneously gave each of them a message to give to the other: “The culture is shaped by seven mind-molders or mountains in society. If we can influence each of these areas for Christ, we will win the culture of our nation.”

These 7 mountains are:

Media Mountain
Government Mountain
Education Mountain
Business Mountain
Church Mountain
Arts and Entertainment Mountain
Family Mountain

These 7 mountains will influence our culture. At the top of each mountain is a principal, controlling party (we call them mind molders). These mind molders are either governed by God's principals or they are governed by darkness and satan. Right now in your city, these 7 mountains are under the control of satan and his kingdom...but that is about to change.
How did this happen?

This has happened because we have limited the Gospel of Salvation to forgiveness of sins only, and not the transforming of nations. By doing this, we've reduced our relationship with God as our savior for all things. Somehow, over time, we have allowed God to get pushed out of these 7 areas, we've lost the revelation that:

as 'King of Kings'.... He is the Lord of government
as 'The Great Teacher'.... He is Lord of education
as 'Johovah Jira'.... He is our provider and Lord of business
as 'The Living Word'.... He is Lord of all media
as 'The Potter/Gardener/Architect'.... He is Lord of all arts and entertainment
as 'The Father'.... He is Lord of the family
as 'The Messiah or Lord of Lords'.... He is Lord of the Church However, there is great news.

God is our savior for everything and that is a wonderful revelation. It is time to not only invite God back into these 7 mountains, but it is time to put Him in charge of them. All it takes is the willingness of each of us to step up and make it happen.

Retake Your City is calling on you to make the decision that you have had enough, and that God has been removed for too long from our culture. Accept the calling God has on your life in whatever area He has called you. Decide that God will no longer take a back seat but instead, will be the driver. If you are ready to step up, if you are ready to go to battle for Jesus then start today.
