PRAY FOR MINNESOTA

The state of Minnesota has become a hotbed of unrest, anger, violence, and division in America, as it was back in 2020 after the death of George Floyd. In 2020, rioters did a billion dollars’ worth of damage to businesses and property in Minneapolis. The rioting quickly spread to other parts of the nation, where it did at least another billion dollars in damage.

Twenty-five people were killed throughout the nation in the 2020 riots, all but one by fellow citizens.(1) “More than 900 law enforcement officers were injured, including 277 officer injuries while defending the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon, and 60 Secret Service officers defending the White House.”(2) It was lawlessness on steroids.

Now, Minnesota has once again become ground zero for unrest. On December 1, 2025, DHS and ICE began “Operation Metro Surge” to remove criminal aliens from Minnesota. This was precipitated in part by the exposure of fraud totaling 9 billion dollars or more, carried out primarily by Somalis in Minnesota. Protests against the ICE operation began immediately, encouraged by Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and other leaders, calling ICE officials unlawful, comparing President Trump and ICE to the Nazi Gestapo, the KKK, and other wicked people. The highly organized protests, with many of the participants paid protestors, quickly escalated into physical efforts to resist ICE in their operations, including violence against ICE officers.

As feared and predicted, the violence has now resulted in 2 tragic deaths, protestors shot and killed by ICE agents who felt their lives were being threatened. Most Americans experience heartfelt grief when events like these occur; no decent person wants to see this happen. Could these tragic deaths have been avoided? Of course they could have had Minnesota officials tone down the rhetoric and told Minnesotans to cooperate with law officers as they enforced federal laws and tried to remove criminals.

Minnesota is not even in the top five states regarding the number of arrests by ICE since Trump was elected. Texas is number one with 20.2%, followed by Florida with 7.7%, California with 6.0%, New York with 3.8%, and Georgia with 3.5%.(3) However, ICE arrests in those states have not resulted in any deaths. Only in Minnesota, where the government leaders are fomenting lies, violence, and hatred of ICE, and encouraging people to oppose them, have deaths occurred.

It is important to note that most Americans want the deportation of illegals. They welcome immigration but want it done legally. Trump ran for President very clearly on closing America’s open borders and sending illegal immigrants back to their country of origin. Americans overwhelmingly elected him, saying in essence, “This is what we want.” They still feel this way. CNN just reported new polls showing that most Americans - ranging from 55% to 64%, depending on the wording of polls - still favor this policy.(4)

Democrat leaders, on the other hand, want open borders and sanctuary cities in order to increase congressional seats to blue states - the number of House seats per state is based on the state’s population, including undocumented immigrants. And they also want the open borders and massive government aid to the illegals, because they believe that in return, the immigrants will become Democrat voters, thereby helping the Left win elections. This is one of the reasons they don’t want voter ID’s - proof of citizenship - to be enforced. Their motives are self-serving, and they are willing to break federal laws to achieve them.

Which brings me to my final point. While the two lives tragically lost in Minnesota should absolutely be mourned, it is hard to take seriously the rage of many politicians on the Left. Most of them were completely silent on the 100,000 deaths a year caused by fentanyl coming across the open border (which Trump has all but ended). They didn’t care that several hundred thousand children went missing as millions of undocumented people crossed into our nation. Why? Because the votes that an open border was generating mattered more to them than the deaths and missing children.

These same politicians show no outrage or grief over the hundreds of people shot and killed annually in the black neighborhoods of Chicago, many of them children. Four hundred and ninety-nine (499) people were killed in the year 2023, five hundred seventy-three (573) in 2024.(5) And according to Newsmax, Paul Vallas reports that since Chicago Mayor Johnson was elected in 2023, 504 children under the age of 17 have been shot, 107 of them killed. Twenty-three of the 107 were under the age of 12.(6) Just let those numbers sink in. Yet, politicians and media personalities NEVER make the deaths of these children an issue.

I can assure you, none of those on the Left seeking to divide the nation over what has occurred in Minnesota know the names of any of these children. Not one. Only deaths that fit their political narrative become a big deal to them, not black kids in poor neighborhoods. Politicians and media members who use lost lives only for political gain and to divide the nation are disgusting and reprehensible. The leaders in Minnesota could end the violence immediately if they wanted to. It would end if they simply stopped demonizing the ICE agents and told the people to stop resisting federal law enforcement officers while they do their jobs. There are signs that this might finally be occurring.

There are many wonderful people in Minnesota - on both sides of the political spectrum and both sides of the immigration issue. It is sad that they are experiencing the unrest taking place. Some have not recovered from what happened in 2020. We must pray diligently that such devastation does not occur again. Pray for healing in the state of Minnesota and for Holy Spirit to be poured out. And pray this for our nation.

Pray with me:

Father, we pray for our nation. We pray for people in the state of Minnesota who are experiencing trauma and fear. We pray for the families of those who lost loved ones, and we pray for those who were involved in the shootings. These are tragic situations, creating a lot of pain.

We ask You to intervene in the situation. We ask You to help people in leadership on both sides of the issue operate with wisdom. We ask that the rioting be stopped and the property damage end. Most of all, we ask for no more deaths - please intervene supernaturally.

And lastly, we know that the healing of the land begins with the healing of hearts. This is why we have been saying for years that only a true revival will save America. Send great revival to Minnesota. Send revival to the entire nation, and heal our land. We pray all of this in Christ’s name, amen.

Our decree:

We decree that Holy Spirit is sending the revival America needs in order to heal our land.
