No Neutral Ground: Illegitimate Power vs. Christ’s Absolute Authority – A Wake-Up Call to Minnesota’s Christians

The viral reel from Encounter Jesus Daily cuts straight to the bone: “There’s more witchcraft in America than people realize… Any attempt to access the supernatural apart from Christ is illegitimate access. It’s reaching for spiritual power without surrendering to the Lord of all power… There is no neutral ground in the spirit realm. You’re either submitted to the authority of Christ or you’re seeking power outside His covering.”

That core warning isn’t just about personal tarot decks or crystals—it’s a biblical indictment of any grab for power, influence, or “supernatural” results that bypasses total surrender to Jesus. The reel echoes John 14:6—“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”—and Deuteronomy 18:10–12’s blunt rejection of sorcery and divination. Test the spirits (1 John 4:1). No shortcuts, no rituals, no secret hacks. The Holy Spirit comes freely through repentance, faith, and surrender—no other door works.

Jesus Himself taught this exact principle on power and authority. He didn’t negotiate with darkness; He exercised total dominion over it. After His resurrection, He declared in Matthew 28:18: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” That’s not partial, delegated, or shared—all authority. Heaven and earth, visible and invisible realms, every principality and power bows to Him (Ephesians 1:20–21). Demons shrieked and fled at His word because they recognized the absolute Lord who holds the keys (Mark 1:27; Luke 4:36). He gave His disciples authority over unclean spirits and demons (Luke 9:1; Luke 10:19: “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy”), but always under His covering—never independent, never apart from submission to Him.

The pattern is crystal clear: True spiritual power flows from surrender and submission to Christ’s authority, not from grasping for it on your own terms. When people (or systems) chase power outside His lordship—whether through occult practices, self-manifestation, or rigged political/nonprofit schemes—they step into illegitimate territory. It’s witchcraft by definition: unauthorized access to spiritual influence, promising enlightenment or “blessings” but delivering bondage.

Nowhere is this clash more evident than in Minnesota, a land literally etched with the names of saints, reflecting our deep Christian roots planted by French explorers, missionaries, and settlers who honored the faith in the geography itself. Our capital is St. Paul, named after the Apostle Paul by Father Lucien Galtier in 1841. St. Cloud honors Saint-Cloud (tied to the 6th-century monk Clodoald). St. Croix River invokes the Holy Cross. Then there’s St. Michael, St. Francis, St. Joseph, St. James, St. Peter, St. Charles, St. Bonifacius, St. Clair, St. Hilaire, St. Leo, St. Martin, St. Rosa, St. Stephen, St. Vincent—and more. Over a dozen cities and towns start with “St.,” making saintly names far more common here than in most states—a deliberate testament to a heritage submitted to Christ’s authority.

But make no mistake: It is no coincidence that the forces worshiping false gods—Mammon, Moloch, Baal, Ashtoreth—have funneled imported chaos directly into these very saint-named strongholds. The DFL syndicate and its VOLAG enablers didn’t scatter refugee pipelines randomly; key concentrations landed in places like St. Paul (major Hmong hub, Somali presence), Minneapolis (Cedar-Riverside as Somali epicenter), St. Cloud (heavy Somali resettlement leading to tensions and fraud vectors), and surrounding areas tied to historical saint dedications. This flows from the same meddling “heroes” I exposed—Humphrey’s Laos fallout seeding Hmong arrivals, Mondale’s Somali pipelines via his Refugee Act, Boschwitz’s Ethiopian pushes—creating dependency traps, vote blocs, and fraud empires right where Christian heritage once stood firm.

It’s intentional spiritual inversion: Flood saint-honoring lands with chaos engineered abroad, exploit the vulnerable as grant-bait and vote fodder, then label opposition “hate” while the syndicate loots billions through scams like Feeding Our Future, autism billing, CPS child grabs, and housing fraud. The result? Desecrated communities, broken families, sacrificed children, and eroded faith foundations—all under the guise of “compassion.” This isn’t accidental resettlement; it’s a calculated assault on the symbolic and spiritual strongholds named for Christ’s servants, replacing surrender to Him with illegitimate power grabs that serve darkness.

These forces allow—or enable—Satanic behaviors to ravage our land: Child-stealing rackets ripping families for federal bonuses, grooming pipelines in schools, dependency systems that trap rather than uplift, election rigging drowning out voices—all in saint-named places meant for protection under God’s covering.

Too many Minnesota Christians—Catholic, Protestant, in pews and pulpits—play along. They donate to fronts funding the machine, vote syndicate because “kindness,” or stay silent to avoid “division.” That’s not neutrality; that’s complicity in reaching for power outside Christ’s authority. James 4:17 hits hard: If you know the right thing and fail to do it, it’s sin. We will be judged—not just for what we’ve done, but for what we’ve failed to do when darkness parades as light in our own saint-named backyard.

Jesus didn’t whisper suggestions; He flipped tables and commanded demons to flee. His followers don’t negotiate with evil—we expose it (Ephesians 5:11). There’s no neutral ground here either. You’re either submitted to Christ’s authority—repenting, exposing fraud, protecting the vulnerable, voting out the grift—or you’re enabling illegitimate power grabs that sacrifice real people and defile sacred ground.

Minnesotans who follow Jesus: Repent of the lukewarm. Surrender fully to the One who holds all authority. Honor our saintly heritage by reclaiming these lands from desecration. Then act: Audit the VOLAGs, end per-head bonuses, mandate voter ID, protect kids from the racket, and get to the primary ready to dismantle the devil’s army masquerading as “progress.” The Holy Spirit empowers those who believe—no rituals needed, just faith and obedience.

The reel ends with hope: “The good news? You don’t need illegal access to the supernatural. The Holy Spirit is given freely to those who believe in Jesus.” That’s the real power—Christ’s authority flowing through surrendered lives. Let’s claim it, expose the intentional darkness, and rebuild Minnesota under His lordship—a state where saint-named cities, rivers, and areas once again reflect thriving families, secure communities, and true freedom, not engineered ruin.
