We don’t get to choose where we are born. And there is no paradise on earth. I have written on multiple occasions about living in a wicked city. Minneapolis, and the greater Twin Cities’ area, is a hot-bed of crime, lawlessness, Somali scandal, leftist lunatic politics, and has attracted the second largest homosexual population in America.

City officials and your average leftist, demonize ICE efforts locally—efforts that would throw the illegal bums out. We watched that all of January, 2026. It is no better here in the spring of 2026. 

Ruled by the Spirit of the Antichrist

I often state that I live in the land of 10,000 lakes, taxes, and terrorists. Bill Clinton dropped 100,000 Somalis on us so I often state that I live in “Mogadishu on the Mississippi.” The Democrats didn’t care that they had no skills or education and would not assimilate. They would vote Democrat so that’s all that mattered.

Minneapolis and the surrounding area clearly are ruled by the spirit of the Antichrist. I have reported that we can no longer walk around our dozens and even hundreds of local lakes. There are too many burka-outfitted questionables watching us. One cannot tell if they are carrying a weapon.

Sadly, I have lost just a ton of friends who have had it with all of this, plus sub-zero winters. They have hightailed it to a red state.

Now, my friend Terry James from RaptureReady.com, has written quite a brilliant article on the deplorable situation of places like my home town. I am quoting from several of his paragraphs. Find the full article, "Minions of Minneapolis" here.

lllllMy great friend Jan Markell, head of one of the most Christ-centered ministries of recent decades in America, has spoken and written on the geographical area where her Olive Tree Ministries and Understanding the Times radio program have been located. She has expressed that she senses the demonic influences that have manifested in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul.

lllllShe and I have discussed how this region seems to be the center of Satan’s concentrated attack in very recent times. And the evidence of this demonic assault continues to mount.

A Day to Remember!

Terry then goes on to recount one of the most stunning events of my lifetime. This dates back to the summer of 2009. It was a cool day—not tornado weather which we know well. He says . . .

lllllLess than a month after Nathan and I visited Minneapolis, Heaven made a direct statement about wickedness taking place in the city and area even then, before all the evil we’ve witnessed there in recent weeks.

lllllOn August 19, 2009, the first buildings on the downtown side of I94 in Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Convention Center and a church, were struck by a tornado. The twister severely damaged the convention center roof, shredded some tents on the grounds, then broke off the steeple of the church, splitting in two the cross atop the steeple before it lifted.

lllllIt was 2:01 p.m. that the tornado touched down at Central Lutheran Church, the largest ELCA cathedral in North and South America, where the assembly had gathered for worship.

lllllAt the very moment of the storm, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America was meeting in a convention in Minneapolis to vote on whether to begin ordaining practicing homosexual pastors. For years, liberals had tried to get this policy change through, but it had always been thwarted.

lllllPastors and other theologians at the time called the out-of-the-blue tornado a “warning” from God to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, which had been meeting to debate a liberalized policy on homosexuality. This is also definitely my thought on this dramatic weather event that produced what was, I believe, a spiritual tornado. At least, I think it was meant to give God’s opinion about that organization’s ungodly decision.

Soros Stirs the Pot

The darkening demonic activity only intensified after that ordeal. We saw it in 2020 with the George Floyd ordeal when 1,000 properties were destroyed. A huge swath of destruction on our south side is still not re-built. Soros and Communist influence in our area is intense.

Terry James goes on to relate the latest insanity as he writes . . .

lllllOn Thursday, the Minneapolis City Council voted to begin the legislative process that could potentially lead to the legalization of “adult bathhouses and sex venues. Since 1988, adult bathhouses have been outlawed in Minneapolis.

lllllThose bathhouses, which housed saunas and pools, were almost exclusively frequented by gay men who met up for anonymous sex. As a result, the bathhouses were a hive of sexually transmitted diseases.

lllllNow, the Minneapolis City Council has advanced a measure that could result in bathhouses returning to the city. In a 12-0 vote, the 13-member city council directed staff to explore changes to existing law regarding bathhouses. (“Minneapolis advances measure that could lead to legalization of ‘adult bathhouses and sex venues’” by Luke Sprinkel, Alpha News MN).

The Left never figures out their methods never work. They are dark, anti-biblical, pro-death, and utterly destructive.

Principalities & Powers Attack

But the author does not leave this story on a low note. Terry concludes this way:

lllllIn reflecting on my brief conversation with Jan and thinking about that once-great American city, the realization struck. This city, which is obviously under satanic attack, is a target for the Ephesians 6:12 powers and principalities for reasons that make spiritual sense.

lllllThis is the area of the world where the gospel of Jesus Christ exploded onto the world in modern times. With the coming of mass communications came perhaps God’s foremost evangelist. It is a name everyone in America recognizes, and this goes for the people of most of the world as well.

lllllSeptember of 1950 was when Billy Graham’s organization was founded in Minneapolis.* The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association was the very heart of powerful expansion of the saving message of Jesus Christ.

lllllJan’s own ministry carries on that all important push to get the message that Jesus saves—from this geographical area. Is it any wonder Satan and his minions wage war on this Twin-City area that serves as the center for evangelization of America and the world?

lllllThose minions of Minneapolis might seem to have the upper hand in the spiritual battle at the moment. But Jesus has spoken truth, and the victory that will belong to all who believe in Him is already accomplished.

lllllYe are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4) 

Thoughtful Analysis

Thank you, Terry James, for your analysis of my home town. You did it brilliantly and you didn’t leave us in the dark. You concluded with good news and a solid biblical analysis explaining some things that seemed unexplainable.

Sadly, I am repeating myself here. My home town is preparing the way for the Antichrist regime, which is waiting in the wings.

(*The Billy Graham Evangelistic Organization moved to Charlotte, NC in 2005. Minnesotans who love the Lord were sad to see them go.)
