Ted Cruz is running for prez because the Holy Spirit told him he oughtta.
Rafael  Cruz, father and chief campaign surrogate of Republican presidential  candidate Ted Cruz, appeared on The Dove TV's "Focus Today" last week, where he revealed that the "presence of the Holy Spirit" convinced his son to run for president.  As the elder Cruz explained, Ted and his family "spent six months in  prayer" trying to decide if he should seek the presidency, which  culminated in a two-hour prayer session at his church where his family  and top advisers "spent two hours on our knees seeking God's will about  this decision."
 
During that prayer session, Cruz's wife received "inspiration from  God" and told Ted to "seek God's face, not God's hand" and, at that  moment, the Holy Spirit descended upon everyone in the room and  convinced Ted to run.
 
"It was as if there was a presence of the Holy Spirit in the room and we all were at awe," and Ted, all that came out of his mouth, he said, 'Here am I Lord, use  me. Here am I Lord, I surrender to whatever Your will for my life is.'  And it was at that time that he felt a peace about running for president  of the United States."
