One of the most searched for and widely read posts on this site, is a post titled, Holy Spirit Tells Jeremiah Johnson That Donald Trump is the Trumpet of God. Written in July 2015, I quote Johnson as saying:
Trump shall become My trumpet to the American people, for he possesses qualities that are even hard to find in My people these days. Trump does not fear man nor will he allow deception and lies to go unnoticed. I am going to use him to expose darkness and perversion in America like never before, but you must understand that he is like a bull in a china closet. Many will want to throw him away because he will disturb their sense of peace and tranquility, but you must listen through the bantering to discover the truth that I will speak through him. I will use the wealth that I have given him to expose and launch investigations searching for the truth. Just as I raised up Cyrus to fulfill My purposes and plans, so have I raised up Trump to fulfill my purposes and plans prior to the 2016 election. You must listen to the trumpet very closely for he will sound the alarm and many will be blessed because of his compassion and mercy. Though many see the outward pride and arrogance, I have given him the tender heart of a father that wants to lend a helping hand to the poor and the needy, to the foreigner and the stranger.”
I said at the time:
Well, one thing is for sure . . . Donald Trump is a blowhard, the next Herb Alpert of God’s brass band of fools.
Trump, of course, went on to become President of the United States.
Shortly after the November 2016 election, I wrote:
Shortly after Donald Trump was named the winner of the 2016 presidential election, scores of Evangelicals came to this site looking for Jeremiah Johnson’s prophecy about Trump, one that stated that he would become president. Johnson “prophetically” farted and now Evangelicals are stopping by to let me know how sweet it smells. Sadly, it is impossible to reason with people who believe God speaks through prophets, telling us what will happen in the future. It does not matter to them that these prophets are wrong most of the time and, according to the Bible, should be stoned to death. Looking for confirmation of their political, social, and religious beliefs, Evangelicals scour the internet searching for God sightings.
These are the same people who believe that, thanks to their prayers, the Christian God interceded in the presidential election, making sure that the racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, pussy-grabbing orange-skinned Trump was elected. What evidence do they have for this? None. Much as in the case when Evangelicals pray over lost keys and God leads them to the exact place they left their keys, there is no evidence answered prayers were instrumental in the election. White Evangelicals voted and this is one of the reasons, come January, that the New York Clampetts will take up residence in the White House.
If God answered Evangelical prayers for a Trump presidency, what does this say about the master Puppeteer? It says that the Evangelical God thinks that the behaviors and policies espoused by Christian Donald Trump and his traveling troop of imbeciles are copacetic. This means that the Evangelical God is fine with demeaning and sexually assaulting women, deporting millions of hardworking undocumented workers, torturing prisoners, and raining death upon the heads of helpless civilians who live in countries that “baby” Christian Trump deems to be anti-American.
If it is God who put Donald Trump in the White House, then surely it is fair to hold God accountable for the deeds of HIS presidential choice. If Evangelicals want me to believe that there is a God in the heavenlies whom they have on speed dial, then I am going to hold that same God accountable for what happens on Donald Trump’s watch.
Jeremiah Johnson — not related in the character with the same name in the 1972 movie featuring Robert Redford — is a self-described prophet and apostolic overseer of Heart of the Father Ministry in Lakeland Florida. Johnson is also the founder and director of Maranatha School of Ministry, a full-time, two-year, five-fold ministry training center that equips and sends out end-time messengers.
According to Johnson’s website:
In 2012, Jeremiah had an encounter in my church office where God said, “I am sending you”. A national and international itinerant ministry was birthed that has now taken him to more than 40 states and 25 nations around the world. The ministry receives more than 400 invitations a year for speaking engagements. JJM is a separate ministry organization with a separate office and staff that’s completely separate from Heart of the Father Ministry.
Since 2015, Johnson has been an unapologetic sycophant — look the word up, Evangelicals — of Donald Trump. For Evangelicals too lazy to look up the definition of sycophant, THE SAGE dictionary defines the word this way:
A person who tried to please someone in order to gain a personal advantage. Synonym: Ass-kisser, crawler, lackey, toady. Hypernym: adulator, flatterer. Hyponymn: apple polisher, booktlicker, fawner, goody-goody, groveler, truckler.
On March 30, 2020, Johnson unleashed another prophetic utterance on the world. Here’s what Johnson had to say on Facebook:
IS THERE A RAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE?
Prophetic Dream on 3/30/20
Last night in my dream, I found myself at a White House briefing with Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and Dr. Anthony Fauci. The President was making an announcement to the United States regarding COVID-19. As he began to encourage the people with a message of hope and promise, suddenly, Dr. Fauci turned into a big rat the size of a human being. Alarmed, I ran to the side of the stage and saw a line of men dressed in fine clothes, many of them not American, who were standing behind the doctor handing him large sums of cash.
God spoke to me immediately in the dream and said, “Even now, there is a plot to turn the President into a political puppet when I have given him a prophetic anointing to decree with authority. The month of April will determine the re-election of Donald Trump as there is a satanic agenda being loosed upon the USA to cripple the economy and turn the people against the President. There are timeframes that will seek to be stretched and moved far beyond My plans”, says the Lord.
God continued to speak to me, “Watch the states! COVID-19 has opened up the door for great division and mutiny in the United States. Governors will oppose the President in the days ahead and there will be a great spiritual battle for this nation. You must understand that this battle is concerning ‘authority’. You must pray that Donald Trump does not receive any counsel except by those whom I have sent to him. For I will expose every agenda and every plot of the enemy in the coming season. Jezebel will be thrown down in Washington DC. That controlling, conniving, divisive, and seductive spirit that comes to castrate this President will not win. They could not impeach him, so now they will attempt to publicly assassinate him through trapping him in his words and speech. He will decree and then they will try to disarm. What comes out of the mouth of My people in these days will determine many days and seasons, says the Lord.”
I woke up from this dream and God speaking audibly to me at 3:30 am. I was gasping for air and immediately received an open vision in my bedroom of a muzzle being put on President Trump. I wrestled in the spirit realm for several hours fighting for the authority that God has given him to be manifested in the United States. I then wrote down several prayer points that I would like to share now for your consideration”
1. We must pray that any voices that President Trump is currently receiving counsel from concerning COVID-19 that are not from God would be silenced and exposed.
2. We must pray that any agenda, whether it be economic or political that is trying to attach itself to the COVID-19 pandemic would be torn down.
3. We must recognize that there is a fight for “authority” in the spirit realm. God has anointed this President and the decrees that he makes must not be disarmed and reversed by the enemy. Donald Trump made a decree that by Passover, many sectors and spheres would open up. Days later, that prophetic decree was overturned and reversed. The enemy is at work and an alarm must be sounded. Keep your eyes and ears specifically on this battle for his “words”.
4. We must pray that any muzzle trying to be placed upon Donald Trump’s mouth be broken. We are currently in the Hebrew year 5780 which is the year of the open mouth. May the President’s mouth be open and may he make righteous and wise decrees in the United States. May the Church open up their mouth and speak forth the word of God.
5. We must pray for the spirit of Jezebel to be thrown down in Washington D.C. This public assassination attempt on President Trump will not succeed. We must declare that any financial crisis and hardship that the USA endures will not turn people unnecessarily against him.
6. We must pray for our Governors and local authorities. Beware of the spirit of division and mutiny that will seek to cause confusion and chaos in the months ahead.
7. We must carefully guard our own mouths and choose to speak life, blessing, and prosperity over our cities and nation.
May we remember that our wrestle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12)
One online source comments and says, “Rats in dreams symbolize slavery and financial loss. It is believed that rats were programmed by Satan to put people into debt and commit great sin.” The intent is not to demonize Dr. Anthony Fauci, but rather we must recognize an agenda at work that is clearly contrary to the purpose and plans of God.
Johnson dares to say with a straight face:
It is believed that rats were programmed by Satan to put people into debt and commit great sin.” The intent is not to demonize Dr. Anthony Fauci, but rather we must recognize an agenda at work that is clearly contrary to the purpose and plans of God.
Of course Johnson demonizes Dr. Fauci. Johnson recognizes that Fauci is a direct contradiction to the lies which spew daily from President Trump’s mouth and the mouth of Vice President Mike Pence. Johnson has way too much religious capital invested in Trump’s presidency to call out the president’s lies. Johnson is all in, and that’s why he viciously goes after Dr. Fauci.
Let me conclude this post by warning Evangelicals. Your behavior during the Coronavirus Pandemic is on display for all the world to see. From vile utterances such as Johnson’s screed against Dr. Fauci to pastors who refuse to close their churches, it is clear that what really matters to many (not all) Evangelicals is political power. There is a payday coming, Evangelicals; that is, if the COVID-19 virus doesn’t kill you. History will not be kind to you. You are hastening your decline, and furthering the hatred many Americans have for Evangelical Christianity. Just remember, the Bible says in Hosea 8:7:
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
You have sown to the wind, and you will, in time, reap a whirlwind. Consider this a prophecy from Bruce Almighty; one, that unlike Johnson’s, will most certainly come to pass.
Bruce Gerencser, 67, lives in rural Northwest Ohio with his wife of 46 years. He and his wife have six grown children and sixteen grandchildren. Bruce pastored Evangelical churches for twenty-five years in Ohio, Texas, and Michigan. Bruce left the ministry in 2005, and in 2008 he left Christianity. Bruce is now a humanist and an atheist.

I just can’t even.
You need help sir, and what a UNGOLDY, man you have become.
Actually I’ve become much more “goldly” since leaving Christianity. I no longer need to give Jesus a percentage of my “gold” every Sunday.
What help, exactly, do you think I need? I’d settle for more “gold.” Lots more “gold.” Fill my bank accounts with “gold.”
But what does it profit a man to gain the whole world (riches, gold) and LOSE HIS SOUL!???
Welp, humans don’t have souls, so there’s nothing for me to lose.
You have a very narrow view of the “whole world.” You assume that riches and gold are what matter to me. I’ll take a woods, river, seaside cottage, or a wonderful evening with my wife every time.
Now fuck off, and go find someone who gives a shit about your “war” for Jesus.
Ungodly is the way to go, Linda. I, for one, have not drowned any planets or assassinated anyone’s fig trees; neither have I ordered any “chosen people” to destroy neighbouring kingdoms and take their land and virgin femaies.
Regards,
Norse trickster-goddess who is agnostic regarding Her own alleged divinity.
I’m smiling as I read this ?
Linda,
Next time skip the comma splices and use proper article adjectives. That is, unless you WANT to sound like a West Virginia hillbilly.
Here is a fellow who wants to see the whirlwind I think:-
And he’s a republican strategist.
The republicans should never be in position of authority ever again.
The level of idiocy is strong in this one…..
I don’t know what to say. These people are insane.
Dr. Fauci is one of the most respected scientists in the world. Of course he is (or is perceived as) a threat to anyone who sees him/her self as God’s appointed messenger.
If/when we get through this, the next President’s first act should be to award Dr. Fauci a Medal of Freedom.
“Year of the open mouth”? WTF? Now, my jewish husband might like that… just sayin’
What a tool.
Prophet Jeremiah Johnson is walking-talking evidence of the active harm done by Christianity. His wacko dreams are interpreted very very differently by me: He wouldn’t approve.
This is astounding. Even more astounding is that how many ‘Christians’ have completely lost all sense, and completely lost connection with what God’s WORD says. Here’s the bottom line, put simply: Trump is King Saul. Was Saul God’s choice? Yes. Was Saul an answer to the people’s prayers? Yes. Was it to bless them and usher in God’s kingdom? NO. It was to TEACH THEM A LESSON AND PUNISH THEM FOR THEIR INSANE REJECTION OF GOD OVER A CORRUPT HUMAN. HELLO??? How do so many not see this? Guess what people, you know how to tell who’s right and who’s wrong? Because one side aligns with a MAN, the other side aligns with THE WORD OF GOD. God’s Word says adultery is wrong. Fornication is wrong. Bribery is wrong. LYING (16,000 so far) is wrong. Abusing your people is wrong. Rejecting the foreigner & sojourner is wrong. Denying justice for the oppressed is wrong. Neglecting the poor is wrong. Perverting and violating the law is wrong. THEY ARE WRONG ALL THE TIME. Now go seek the Lord and ask Him who’s right and who’s wrong. The one who’s right stands for the WORD, not a political party of a man. Wake up and repent or you will reap the same judgment as this corrupt administration will. (BTW I am not a Democrat or a liberal so you can save your partisan attacks. I am a Christian of 40+ years with morals and a brain). You can also read about me and what I believe on my website and see my book that I wrote about hearing God. Let’s use our brains, shall we?
God’s Word! What’s that? You do realise that the false prophet, Samuel, claimed that God told him to tell Saul to exterminate the Amalekites for what they did to Israel about 400 years before. He was told not only to kill all the combatants, but also the women, little children, babies and animals. Saul carried out his task murdering all the little children and babies, but saved King Agag and some of the livestock. The captured Agag was butchered with the sword (murdered) by this so-called prophet Samuel (Read 1 Samuel ch 15).
This is part of the bible, so is it the Word of God which you claim to follow? This Jeremiah Johnson is a complete nutter and believes that God speaks to him. So did the deluded Samuel.
It’s appropriate that this guy’s name is Jeremiah Johnson. In the movie of the same name starring Robert Redford, he meets an Indian who observes Redford floundering around in a cold river trying to catch a fish to survive when he first tries to be a mountain man. He is not impressed with his ignorance and lack of knowledge of what it takes to live in this environment. Later he tells him “you fish poorly.” If the shoe fits……
Woe to those that do not hear God’s message. Many will willfully allow the devil to deceive them. The time is now to REPENT. God have mercy for those that won’t and don’t. God bless them all.
sigh There is no God, so no worries, daughter.
The blind here are leading the blind and both will fall into the ditch.
So, based on your Facebook page: you love Jesus, adore Trump, don’t think COVID-19 is a big deal. and you regularly have visions…and we are the ones who are blind? Girl, you need to get your eyes checked.
Hey, I agree with you. The blind Fundamentalists are leading their fellow Fundamentalist, Pentecostal, and Charismatic blind followers and they will all fall into the ditch.
I enjoy life in the ditch. So much to see that you can’t view from the straight and narrow road. 🙂
If you don’t mind, GD, we’ve had it up to -here- with humans purporting to speak on behalf of gods. Funny how your god can’t speak for itself, isn’t it? (No, the Bible doesn’t count. That was written by mortals.)
Yes, and these spokesmen for God never seem to have the same message. I’m so confused. ?
You do know that the devil is a mythical being and, in some forms of Christian thought, he is symbolical of evil. You do realise that non existent beings cannot deceive anyone. It’s Fundamentalist Christians who deceive themselves.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Lord of the Holy One is to gain understanding. You missed out on all three. You should be made to repay all your earnings while parading around as a pastor. Jesus except you be born again you cannot see the Kingdom of God…how said you never experienced a true regeration and now damn those that have. God will settle your confusion when you stand before him, but it will be too late for His forgiveness at that time. I am sorry for you, as hell has no exits.
t
sigh one can have wisdom, knowledge, and understanding without believing in your God. Look around, evidence for this fact is everywhere. That is, unless you think you are special; that you have something most humans — past and present — have never had. What a horribly ignorant world if wisdom and knowledge begins and ends with your peculiar version of God.
I don’t damn anyone. Are you saying your religion and that of Jeremiah Johnson and Donald Pussy Grabber Trump is beyond critique and examination?
I have no worries about judgment and hell — both manufactured by religion to control the masses and to extract money from them. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but hell does indeed have exits. My story is testimony to the fact that one can escape the hell called Evangelical Christianity. Freedom awaits for you, Amylee.
Amylee, you should be more “sorry” that you worship a god that would create a hell and then put people there to suffer for eternity. That isn’t a “Holy One” you grovel before — it is a monster of infinite evil that fortunately is imaginary.
Stuff your Kingdom of God where the Son don’t shine.
Which lord are you talking about? You mean Buddha, don’t you? Jesus said, except you be born of the breath (pneuma) you cannot enter the reign of God. Have you been practising breath meditation? Praise be to Buddha!
I will pray for you? For if you ask God to truly reveal himself to you, He will! I’ve seen miracles in my life. I’m sad that you don’t know Him.
I will offer up a kitten sacrifice and prayer to Almighty Kat for you? For if you ask Kat to truly reveal herself to you, she will! I’ve seen Kat miracles in my life. I’m sad that you don’t know Kat.
Sound absurd to you? ?
Please don’t feel sorry for me and my fellow non-Christians. We are a relatively happy lot, with lives filled with many of the same things as your life, and that of your fellow Christians.
Why does your alleged god need you to introduce us, mortal? If it’s omniscient, it already knows where we live and what would convince us. If it knows that we can’t be convinced, it has chosen not to try. In either case, your “services” are not required.
Ah Kim, you love to fantasize….enjoy it, just don’t preach because my preference for fantasy is not a child murdered by his daddy.
There are no miracles! Have you ever seen an amputee have his or her leg grow again? All the so-called miracles that Pentecostals and Charismatics claim are psychosomatic and are not miracles at all. Organic miracles never occur. If they do,please demonstrate!
Ears have not heard eyes have seen how the devil uses people like Jeremiah Johnson, who twist lies that are convincing to the weak minded. I have dreams I too can convert into scripture that sound believable. God have mercy on you sir.
What’s with the Christian commenters here that seem incapable of constructing a coherent sentence? I try to be as grammatical as I can, and I try to watch my spelling, but we all make mistakes. The comments I’m referring to, however, aren’t just exhibiting simple errors, but are so bad they are almost incomprehensible.
I grew up in the church and called myself a Christian for years. Now I prefer “follower of Christ”, or better yet “follower of the way of Jesus.” A close reading of the actual life and ministry of Jesus as depicted in the gospels reveals something very different than the modern civic religion that is Evangelical Christianity. I’ve heard it said that if Jesus, a middle eastern dark skinned Jew, were to show up at a Trump rally and tell everyone to feed the hungry, invite the stranger in, give the thirsty something to drink, clothe the naked, and visit the sick, he would be called a libtard and crucified again. While that may be a harsh criticism, it is not entirely without merit. Jesus is clearly not an R or a D, and his vision of the Kingdom of Heaven had nothing to do with political power or pushing a “Christian agenda” in government. I’m very suspicious of modern day prophets that align so neatly with one political party. Thank you for this post exposing the fallacies in Jeremiah Johnson’s prophecies.
Listened to your apology “I was wrong” total coward We need Old Testament warriors like David, not a coward pretending to be a prophet claiming he made a mistake Gods looking for warriors of Christ, not cowards
Once again, punctuation that makes the writer sound like an Okie from Muskogee.
No, Steve, we do not need “Old Testament warriors” like the adulterous, murderous David.
(And why does a god need warriors at all? Can’t it fight its own battles?)
Good questions. 😂😂
Trigger words from childhood that among other things, meant:
-Mom’s gonna embarrass me in front of my neighborhood friends again.
-We just drove past the Jewish golf course full of “unsaved” golfers.
-Crap, here comes a long sermon.
-Thank god the sermon is finally over. Now we can get out of here.
-Another delay until we can finally eat.
-We’re not gonna get to watch Space Ghost, Disney, Bugs Bunny, Lost In Space, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Star Trek, or a hundred other fun shows. (I’m still playing catch-up watching old shows that we never got to see back in the 60s.)
