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.


A War Weary World: As Nation Rises Against Nation, The World Is Ripe For A Peacemaker

Israel, of course, is at the epicenter—with Palestinian terrorists in Gaza, with Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the ongoing threat from Iran. The United States is also facing off against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, with this global oil chokepoint still being restrained and escalation ready to break out at any moment. Iran is preparing for all-out war. Iranian leaders are making all kinds of bombastic threats, trying to deter a renewed large-scale assault by the United States. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is threatening to use the “mother of all bombs” (MOAB) against the regime. Then you have all the crisis and chaos in Europe. It's being described as “horror.”

The Upheaval In France Is Knocking On America’s Door—The Midterms Determine Whether It’s Welcomed In

When political grievances become an excuse for destruction, Constitutional government must stand firm — or risk surrendering the streets to the mob. The scenes unfolding in France should serve as a warning to every American who values liberty, public order, and constitutional government. When thousands of demonstrators take to the streets, when political protests descend into looting and arson, and when historic public buildings become targets of mob violence, a nation must ask itself a fundamental question: Who is really in charge? The rule of law, the citizens and their elected representatives? Or the most aggressive factions willing to intimidate everyone else?

Franklin Graham: Jesus Is Coming Back… And It’s Not Going To Be Far Down The Road 

During a lengthy sit-down interview with Fox News Sean Hannity, evangelist Franklin Graham boldly detailed to a largely secular podcast audience the list of extraordinary evidence showcasing that our world is living in the season of Jesus’ return. “Jesus is coming back,” Graham declared. “He is going to come back, and He is going to establish His throne here. There's gonna be a new Jerusalem. He is coming down, and He is going to reign. That is going to take place. When that's gonna take place, I don't know… but it's not gonna be that far down the road. Jesus told us to look for signs. In Matthew chapter 24, He gives us great examples of what's coming and what we ought to be looking for. If you look today, [you can see] the signs.”
