Evangelical Christian Secretary Jeff Jansen, a self-proclaimed “prophet,” claims that former President Donald Trump is still the legal president and that the U.S. military is currently carrying out a coup to remove President Joe Biden from power.
A number of Christian pastors and so-called ‘prophets’ predicted before the 2020 election that Trump would win re-election, claiming it was God’s will. When this prophecy did not come true, some apologized and admitted that they were wrong. Others, like Jansen, have found creative ways to justify the current reality in the US
‘You have to realize what happened in our country was a hostile takeover, and just because there was a false inauguration [of Biden]… for optics and posture, let them keep their day in the sun, “Jansen, the founder of Global Fire Ministries International based in Tennessee, said during a Tuesday episode of the Elijah Streams YouTube program. Right Wing Watch first reported Jansen’s comments.
“It’s a story of two presidents and currently in America – because President Trump has never conceded, he has never agreed to anything, never walked away, never conceded,” Jansen continued. “He basically immediately stepped aside while things were sorted out.” The evangelical minister said that Trump’s attempt to stay in office by blocking the outcome of the elections in court was thwarted by ‘corrupt’ courts and judges.

“The last defense is military. So the army, actually the army, is now in control,” Jansen said. “They have already made up their minds. Now it’s about execution. Now it’s about the return of civilian power to the ‘we the people’ factor, the rightly, duly elected president of the last election, comes forward and exposes the corruption – there will be civilian power restored in the United States, ‘he insisted. “And that president will be Donald J. Trump.”
Later in the interview, Jansen encouraged viewers to “watch what the Lord is doing,” but he predicted that things would move forward and Trump would recover “by the end of April.”
Newsweek reached Jansen’s ministry for further comment, but did not immediately respond.
Unlike Jansen, fellow self-described Christian “prophet” Jeremiah Johnson, formerly of Jeremiah Johnson Ministries, recently apologized and admitted he was wrong because Trump was re-elected. After addressing his mistake in a series of YouTube videos in public, Johnson announced earlier this month that he was ending his ministry. He also expressed concern about the prophetic movement within American Christianity.
“I believe this election cycle has revealed how urgently we need reformation in the prophetic movement,” Johnson said in a video. “I have serious concerns about the charismatic-prophetic world that if we do not wake up, if we do not humble ourselves, there is a greater judgment.”
But Pastor Robin Bullock, who describes himself as “heavy” in the prophetic field, insisted this month that prophets could recall Trump for three terms.
‘But you’ll have to pray for the rightful president, whether he wants to get into this or not. You have to pray that he wants to do it, because God does not let him do anything. Is that his will? ? Yes. Is he the president? Yes. That’s why he could just walk in again, and God would supernaturally push things out of the way, ‘he said.
White evangelical Christians have been a major base of support for Trump since his 2016 presidential campaign. Polls from the 2016 election showed that about 8 out of ten white evangelicals voted for Trump, and the results in 2020 were similar by between 76 percent and 81 percent. of the religious community said they were voting for the former Republican president. Conservative Christians have long been in line with the Republican Party because they are particularly concerned about fighting reproductive rights for women and preventing the LGBTQ community from securing greater legal protection and civil rights.
Trump and many of his GOP allies worked to promote the so-called Big Lie that he won the 2020 election. They claimed that Biden and the Democrats had “hampered” the election by widespread voter fraud. This extraordinary allegation is not supported by evidence.
Dozens of election lawsuits filed by Trump and his supporters have been rejected by state and federal courts, including by judges appointed by judges appointed by the former president and other Republicans. Former Attorney General William Barr, widely regarded as one of Trump’s most effective and loyal cabinet members, said in early December that there was “no evidence” of widespread fraud that would change the outcome of the election. Similarly, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency at the Department of Homeland Security, which was headed by a Trump nominee, issued a statement shortly after the November election describing it as “the safest in U.S. history.” .
