Strange how one of those Seven Mountains is NOT healing or healthcare

The Seven Mountain Mandate, also Seven Mountains Mandate, 7M, or Seven Mountains Dominionism, is a dominionist conservative Christian movement within Pentecostal and evangelical Christianity. It holds that there are seven aspects of society that believers seek to influence: family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government.

The movement is believed by its followers to have begun in 1975 with a purported message from God delivered to evangelicals Loren Cunningham, Bill Bright, and Francis Schaeffer ordering them to invade the "seven spheres" of society identified as family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government. The idea was not seriously considered until 2000 during a meeting between Cunningham and Lance Wallnau. The movement came to prominence after the 2013 publication of Wallnau's and Bill Johnson's Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate.

The movement was generally supportive of the presidency of Donald Trump, with member Paula White becoming Trump's spiritual advisor. White claimed that Trump "will play a critical role in Armageddon as the United States stands alongside Israel in the battle against Islam." In 2020 Charlie Kirk said "finally we have a president that understands the seven mountains of cultural influence" during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Jesus healed people

Now... according to both Christian and Islamic texts, there are miracles attributed to Jesus. The "Christ" in Christian.

According to these texts; Jesus healed the sick, cured blindness, cured leprosy, dropsy, deafness, mutism, and more. And Jesus did it without asking for compensation.

So then, maybe it should seem kind of strange that with these so-called seven mountains, that one can not find "healing", "healthcare", or "miracles" among them.

It should seem weird that one can have a "Christian nation", "Christian-Nationalism", or "Judeo-Christian" anything and then also have...

Embarrassing amounts of medical bills that are often inflated to the point of them being ridiculous
People putting off healthcare because of the cost
A staggering amount of medical bankruptcies, and no, bankruptcy from medical bills is not a "freedom"
High costs of medical services and despite this cost, the US does not have the greatest return to healthcare on those costs
No jubilees for debts, including for medical debts
Downward social mobility due to contact with the healthcare system
Debt collections and wage garnishment for medical bills
Health disparities
Insulin rationing and Insulin costing more than a car payment
