"Cry aloud; do not hold back; lift up your voice like a trumpet; declare to my people their transgression, to the house of Jacob their sins. Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways, as if they were a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the judgment of their God; they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God. 'Why have we fasted, and you see it not? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?'
Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure, and oppress all your workers. Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight and to hit with a wicked fist. Fasting like yours this day will not make your voice to be heard on high. - Isaiah 58:1-4 (ESV)
Within NAR dominionism there are people who skirt along the edges, cognizant possibly of how unbiblical the theology really is. Then there are the rabid dogs of dominionism, who do not hold back in their hatred and disdain for their political enemies and unleash the judgment of God upon them to make their points. Mario Murillo is one of these dogs. Murillo is unashamed at the vileness of his own positions. For example, in the run up to the election he wrote for Charisma News that anyone who voted for any Democratic candidate is going to hell. Not that they were merely wrong or misguided but that they were in fact the enemy now of all Christians. That they are beyond redemption. He wrote recently that Christians should not even befriend a Democratic voter or "play nice" with them. He also sells a clear political idolatry and the worship of Donald Trump. In August of 2024, he literally compared Trump directly to Christ at the crucifixion. In order to accomplish this, he does the same spiritual gymnastics that the rest of the NAR does when it comes to the idol they worship. Being a convicted rapist with 34 other felony convictions? Yeah, that apparently does not matter to a holy God. Cheating on his first wife with his second wife and his third wife with a porn star? Apparently also not a problem for Mario. You must understand that we are not speaking about political distinctions as none are righteous when dealing with something so clearly carnal to begin with. The issue is that Mario presents Trump and his political preferences as somehow BEING a Christian imperative. By refusing to acknowledge his political opinion, you are deemed as not even being saved. You are deemed the enemy of Almighty God. Imagine that the Creator of the free world would deny you eternal life if you did not vote for the guy who believes he is allowed to grab women by their genitals simply because he is famous. You may reflexively want to compare these choices to the perceived other side but no one is making the argument that the other side is God's side either. It is perfectly fine to conclude that Trump or any party is the better choice politically. It is when you try to confer righteousness to your choice and God's favor that you become a heretic. So, as we enter 2025, Murillo is laying markers down to try and press his position as Trump cheerleader and defender of everything Republican. In Jesus' name, wink wink. Let us reason once more beloved through the above linked article.
"As the political and spiritual battle for America intensifies, evangelist Mario Murillo's 2025 prophetic word serves as both a warning and a rallying cry for Christians. There are many who view Donald Trump's reelection as a reprieve from the Lord, Murillo's insights remind us that God's hand is moving powerfully"but He is also calling His people to stand boldly against the darkness encroaching on our nation. Murillo's prophecy begins with a clear declaration: "We are entering the year of decision." He explains that the stakes have never been higher. "America stands at a crossroads. The church must rise and become the voice of righteousness that God intended." With Trump's landslide victory in 2024, many believers see a clear sign that God is giving our nation a second chance to fulfill its destiny. But this is no time for complacency.
Murillo's prophetic message outlines five key areas where Christians must engage in the spiritual and cultural battle:" - Charisma News
Yes, there are many lunatics and biblically illiterate people who conclude that Trump's election was a reprieve from the Lord. Let us also be abundantly clear. This is not a prophetic word. It is a political word. Prophetic infers that God spoke to Mario and that never happened. God gave us His revelation in scripture. He did not forget some secret hidden direction that He was waiting for thousands of years for Donald Trump and Mario Murillo to come along so He could reveal it. Just consider the sheer lunacy of this fake prophecy. The church must become a voice for righteousness after insisting to elect a convicted rapist with three wives and a porn star. Donald Trump with his six bankruptcies and stolen nuclear secrets is the righteousness that God intended? The entire premise is so biblically ludicrous, I do not understand how Murillo does not burst out laughing while speaking it. Notice the seven mountains, NAR nonsense sprinkled in. That America has to fulfill its God-given destiny by engaging in a cultural battle. This is the heart of NAR, dominionist heresy. That we must conquer the seven cultural mountains to facilitate the second coming of Christ. You know, because Jesus is nothing without us. We are so special. Let's check out his five keys, which if I had to guess are going to be more Republican politics and hating anyone who disagrees.
"Expose and resist evil. "We can no longer remain silent about the evil being unleashed by the Left," Murillo declares. He specifically calls out the radical agenda of sexual immorality, abortion and attacks on religious liberty. Scripture reminds us, "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them" (Eph. 5:11, NKJV). Christians must stand unapologetically for truth, even when it's uncomfortable." - Charisma News
Notice the con he runs. Evil in the eyes of Mario Murillo is only emanating from the left, or the Democratic Party in this country. Anything from his side of the political spectrum is deemed righteous by default. Yet we have seen this week some from Mario's party say that the victims of the devastating fires in California should receive no help from the federal government. Is that not evil? Are the proposed cuts to SNAP that will literally starve children in order to pass a massive tax cut for billionaires not inherently evil? Sexual immorality? Like who? Robert Morris? Mike Bickle? Ravi Zacharias? Dr. Michael Brown? Abortion? The rate of abortion has INCREASED since Roe was overturned so, good job. The cultural nonsense that Murillo clutches his pearls about, like bakers being expected to bake cakes, is not "religious persecution." It is whiny, religious elitism and self-victimization. Christians must stand apologetically for the truth? When he idolizes and demands support for a man who lied over 30,000 times in his first administration? Who casually lied that our Haitian brothers and sisters were eating pets? All of this hypocrisy is not lost on those in the world, and it is the number one reason why 40 million people have left the church in the last 25 years.
