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.

Could The Private Prayers Of Australians Now Result In A Knock On The Door From The Government?

Through the use of targeted examples, overreach and ambiguously drafted legislation and booklets, Victorian faith leaders and parents now find themselves the victims of arbitrary limitations that permit the government a place at the dinner table of families that need to have important discussions regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. A conversation which, if led by the clear teachings of the Bible, will only lead to one conclusion. Although the Victorian Government has attempted to grant clear concessions to parents to raise their children according to Biblical values, the undeniable conclusion is that there are limitations as to what the government will accept.

Blending God’s Word And Man’s Word: When Churches Attempt To Explain Away The Bible’s Condemnation Of Homosexuality

Some “churches” promote full inclusion of every sexual desire, while others hold fast to what God says about sexuality. But what about the options in between obvious heresy on the one side and the historic biblical position on the other? In the middle, lie the more insidious errors because these positions claim to respect God’s Word, affirming its authority, while saying either (1) the act of homosexuality is sinful, but the identity and desire isn’t or (2) that homosexual “marriage” honors God if it’s a committed monogamous relationship.

Jan Markell: Is Israel’s Spiritual Blindness A Reason For Christians To Reject Them?

Ezekiel 36 emphasizes that when the Jews return to the land, they will do so in unbelief. There will be spiritual regeneration much later! The dry bones of Ezekiel 37 reflect a lack of breath or spiritual life. God states he is gathering them back “not for your sake but for my holy name’s sake,” because their presence among the nations caused his name to be profaned. Ezekiel 36 promises that once back in the land, God will cleanse them, give them a new spirit, and cause them to walk in his statutes. But much later.
