Markell: Denouncing Prayer and Departing From God, Minneapolis Regularly Slips Into Lunacy And Tragedy

Jan Markell

Minneapolis has been my hometown all my life. For generations, people have enjoyed its beauty and its lakes, which we safely hiked around. There are thousands of wonderful believers here! I am so grateful that Minneapolis is the home of an incredible church that set my path for life, as it was a truth-telling, prophecy-oriented church.

Nonetheless, Minneapolis is obviously a target for dark forces. And they are intensifying as we trend towards the Tribulation.

One hundred years ago, the Communist Party USA targeted the upper Midwest—and especially the Twin Cities, Chicago, Madison, and Milwaukee, WI to be at the center of their dark agenda.

Additionally, Minneapolis/St. Paul is the gay capital of America, along with San Francisco.

We have so many Somalis that I call this city today Mogadishu on the Mississippi. Most are in full Islamic garb. Women (or potentially male terrorists) roam our streets in full burkas and could be carrying lethal weapons! So much for our casual walks around our lakes.

Our lunatic leftist politicians make this a sanctuary state for the bad guys. Good people are on their own, as our police retire early. Since George Floyd of 2020, our police department has dwindled so badly that no one is safe inside or outside of their homes.

One of our suburbs—Anoka—is the Halloween capital of the world. What an embarrassing honor! I believe those evil spirits linger in our area year-round and haunt us—literally.

I have often apologized that whenever you hear about Minneapolis, it is in conjunction with a tragedy or debauchery. 

But why? Is it strictly because the Bible says that “In the last days, evil will wax worse and worse”? (II Timothy 3:13). That verse sure comes to my mind almost daily! And without a doubt, it plays a big role.

What comes with the above evil is a hatred of God. That breeds lunacy: guns are the fault of these tragedies. Lunacy that denounces prayer—partly because liberalism is the leftist religion. Liberalism provides its altar of worship. And Christians, Jews, and conservatives are “oppressors.”

Note Jenn Psaki’s comments: “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayer does not end school shootings. Prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.”

Seriously, Jenn? Some day you will circle back from that, but it may be too late.

And while Mayor Frey was denouncing “thoughts and prayers,” I was reminded that he signed the ordinance permitting the Muslim call to prayer to be broadcast from the city’s mosques five times a day. God notices this kind of evil and insanity.

The shooter also denounced “filthy Zionist Jews.” I have said for years that the primary target in the last days will be “people of the book”—Jews and Christians. The cross will always be in the crosshairs. Jew hatred is at 1930s levels.

This was the atmosphere during the time of Noah, and look what happened. The same is about to happen again. God is going to say “enough is enough” and remove the righteous. He will leave the God-haters behind, at which time some will beg for mercy. Some of those left behind may learn to pray. Some will actually call on the Name of the Lord and renounce this evil.

For many, it will be too late. Too many will curse God even more. (Revelation 16:21)

But remember, God is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)

Pray for this city. Tragedy opens hearts. Thoughts drift towards eternity, realizing life is so short and can be cut even shorter by tragedy.

California Pastor Warns: Christian Apathy Is Enabling The Islamic ‘Culture War’ In America

“The reality is this—and it is quite convicting—Christians in America tend to fight for something until they lose. Muslims in America have come here to overrule the Constitution—they fight until they win... The Muslims are at war—a cultural war. They are probing our constitutional rights. Shariah law in Islamic jurisprudence is diametrically opposed to the constitutional republic government in which we live. Christians do not want to entertain that because it provokes them to get involved,” Hibbs stated, encouraging the church to fulfill the responsibility to be “watchmen of the wall and sound the alarm.”

Silent Ideological Cleansing: How Christian Physicians Are Being Screened Out By The Medical Establishment

When Christian physicians are quietly pushed out of medicine, the most affected victims prove to be the patients. Millions upon millions of Americans seek out physicians who align with them and their family’s moral convictions, and that small minority that honors the intrinsic value of every human life is slowly being rooted out. By conditioning medical admission upon secular compliance, the medical establishment has created an ideological monolith, one that has swapped out Hippocratic healing for ideological conformity.

‘A Firm Reliance On The Protection Of Divine Providence’: Finding The Way Back As One Nation Under God

It is no secret that America has largely turned its back on God. Children are encouraged to find their own truth from a young age, and mentions of God in our public schools are brushed aside or removed. Church attendance is rapidly declining as self-help strategies promise the answers to life’s problems. We’ve traded Divine guidance for subjective truth—“it’s up to me decide what is right and wrong.” And even the concept of biological sex and gender is up to the preference of each individual. It is clear that secularism has infiltrated every aspect of society, and the results are catastrophic. The further we stray from God, the deeper we sink into hopelessness.
