In 2023, self-proclaimed Christian nationalist and unabashed Trump cultist Lance Wallnau announced his intention to travel the country ahead of the 2024 elections in order to break the “demonic strongholds” in swing states that have supposedly been preventing Republicans from winning elections. Wallnau’s vision manifested itself in the form of the “Courage Tour,” a series of multi-day events during which attendees heard from religious-right activists who mobilized them politically during the daily sessions, while the evening sessions were dedicated to spiritual revival and miracle healings led by right-wing evangelist and fellow Trump cultist Mario Murillo.
With Trump having won the election, Wallnau is already planning ahead. Appearing on an election night broadcast hosted by "prophet" Amanda Grace, Wallnau declared that he and his fellow Christian nationalists now have four years to align with the White House to strengthen the Christian church in the United States and abroad while placing right-wing Christians inside the government to tear down spiritual "strongholds."
"I think we have to go into that alignment with the White House, mobilize our resources for a movement of churches in the United States that is a reformation movement that would literally enable the people to go to strong churches and know where the weak ones are," Wallnau said.
"Secondly, we need to go to the nations because there's going to be a sifting of nations," he continued. "There are sheep nations and goat nations when the Lord returns. I want us to see the sheep nations made stronger: El Salvador, Guatemala, Colombia, Argentina. That's the apostles and prophets and pastors and the believers coming together in solidarity and forming a stronger agreement so that they could weather the storm of the anti-Christ systems that are coming."
"We've got one administration, one four-year period to do it," Wallnau proclaimed.
"The church is going through a reconfiguration right now," Wallnau added. "Revival is for us; reformation is for the institutions. We have to have revived believers, strong and connected as an ekklesia, to go where the gates of hell are located in the DOJ, in the government, in the IRS. I know it's a daunting task. It sounds crazy, but that's exactly what the believers had to do. They had to go up against giants. We have to see these strongholds come down. God's giving us a chance to see it happen. "
This agenda is deeply rooted in Seven Mountains Dominionism, a radical theology associated with the New Apostolic Reformation that advocates having right-wing Christians control all aspects of society. Followers of Seven Mountains theology believe that they are to “do whatever is necessary” to take control of the seven main “mountains” that shape our culture—education, government, media, business, arts and entertainment, family, and religion—in order to implement the will of God throughout the nation and the world.
Wallnau has long been a leading promoter of Seven Mountains theology, declaring in 2022, "we want souls and we want nations."
