Psalm 31:24 "Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD."
While most of the nation focused on the fact Texas Senator Ted Cruz officially announced his candidacy for President in 2016, several people noticed the bold faith expressed by the Senator in his speech announcing the move.
Much of the speech consisted of Cruz saying that God was not done with America and that God has blessed America for years.
“God’s blessing has been on America from the very beginning of this nation, and I believe God isn’t done with America yet,” he said. “I believe in you. I believe in the power of millions of courageous conservatives rising up to reignite the promise of America, and that is why today I am announcing that I’m running for president of the United States.”
Cruz shared how God reached his father after he had left his mother and brought him home to be a Godly man.
“When I was three, my father decided to leave my mother and me,” he said. “We were living in Calgary at the time. He got on a plane and he flew back to Texas, and he decided he didn’t want to be married anymore and he didn’t want to be a father to his three-year-old son.”
“And yet when he was in Houston, a friend, a colleague from the oil and gas business, invited him to a Bible study— invited him to Clay Road Baptist Church—and there my father gave his life to Jesus Christ,” Cruz continued. “And God transformed his heart. And he drove to the airport, he bought a plane ticket, and he flew back to be with my mother and me.”
Cruz said that because of God moving in his father’s life, he knows Christ is real.
“There are people who wonder if faith is real,” Cruz said. “I can tell you, in my family there’s not a second of doubt, because were it not for the transformative love of Jesus Christ, I would have been saved and I would have been raised by a single mom without my father in the household.”
Unfortunately Ted Cruz left a bad testimony at the Republican convention that is taking place showing that he doesn’t have integrity as he didn’t stand by his word when he said he would accept whoever would be nominated by the party . This has been exposed by the media Fox News and is a true shame ..
I was for Ted Cruz at the beginning -thank you Mr. Heavin for exposing the truth. You shall know the tree by its fruits. Ted has no fruit..
I’m supporting Cruz, but I, like others have noted, have not been able to find anthing from Cruz indicating he has his own personal faith in Christ for his own salvation. Even Satan and his demons know Christ is real. Cruz does profess his own personal faith in Christ in this video link (at 3:19 on the timeline).

— On the other hand, there is plenty of evidence the candidates, other than Ted Cruz, do not trust Christ for their salvation without adding some form of self-righteousness to the formula, which says they really aren’t trusting Christ. That makes Cruze virtually the only one who could possibly be a born-again Christian.
I would love the hear all of the candidates get asked this question in a national debate…
“If you died today and find yourself at the gates of Heaven, why would they let you in?”
— It would be very difficult for someone who is not a true, born-again, Bible believing Christian to answer that correctly and honestly.
Of course they aren’t all honest, so maybe each should in a sound-proof so they couldn’t steal someone else’s answer.
OK, now back to the real world.
Did I miss something? So is Sen Ted Cruz, himself, a “saved” Christian?
Its about time someone walks the walk Jesus never backed off on his faith in the Father. Bold Christians Hate Evil and speak the Word to defeat it. So get together and Walk the walk and talk the talk of Christ.
