Last month, we noted that leading Seven Mountains advocate Lance Wallnau was included among the fringe religious leaders who met with and prayed over Donald Trump earlier this year.
Wallnau, who claims that conservative Christians must seize control of the “seven mountains” of society, including the government and the media, has since become an enthusiastic supporter of Trump’s presidential campaign, declaring that “God has given this man an anointing for the mantle of government in the United States and he will prosper!”
Interestingly, he also participated in the meeting Trump had earlier this week with a group of African American pastors, where he hailed Trump as a modern-day Winston Churchill or Abraham Lincoln who God is raising up “to answer the cry of God’s people.”
In a rather manic video posted on his Facebook page following the meeting, Wallnau recounted telling Trump that he would become the 45th president of the United States because he has a “Cyrus anointing” upon him as proclaimed in Isaiah 45, referring to the Persian king who freed the Jews from captivity.
“Donald Trump’s got this like Elijah mantle on him,” Wallnau said. “He’s got the Cyrus anointing.”
Citing the apocryphal story of George Washington supposedly surviving in battle despite his coat and hat being riddled with bullet holes thanks to the protection of God, Wallnau told Trump that he too is being protected by God.
“You’ve said things and done things that should have put the equivalent of a bullet in your coat,” Wallnau said that he told Trump, “but they’ve passed through you because of the anointing. God is really watching over you. And I believe God had put His hand on you as a Cyrus to be a governor and that the Bible talks about this critical 45th chapter, as the 45th president, it is the decisive moment in American history for leadership.”
Admitting that Trump is not perfect, Wallnau declared that “America is screwed up” and so a “flawed man” like Trump is exactly what this nation needs “because it means it is going to be God’s grace on him.”
Trump is “like a Churchill or a Lincoln,” Wallnau said, who has been “called to rise up in a crisis and to answer the cry of God’s people.”
