Headlines I love: Pro-Trump Prophet Jeff Jansen Leaves Wife, Ministry to 'Pursue His Own Desires'

https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/milton-quintanilla/pro-trump-prophet-jeff-jansen-leaves-wife-ministry-to-pursue-his-own-desires.html

Global Fire Ministries, a Tennessee-based evangelical ministry, has announced that its founder Jeff Jansen was asked to step down after he chose to leave his wife and family "to pursue his own desires".

Jansen, a self-professed prophet, had founded the ministry over 18 years ago. Last Wednesday, Global Fire Ministries issued a statement announcing that Jansen will step down as co-senior leader of the ministry and Global Fire Church "due to unscriptural and unbiblical behavior."

"Due to a pattern of making poor moral choices and bad coping mechanisms, character flaws became obvious which disqualified Jeff from New Testament leadership," the ministry said. "His lifestyle in the home, traveling on the road, and in the House of God, has fallen below Biblical standards laid out for those in leadership. He has been confronted concerning these flaws numerous times over a period of time.”

The statement continued, "Rather than submit to the process of healing and restoration, Jeff recently made an intentional decision to leave his wife and family to pursue his own desires.”

Repressed sexuality appears to be in play here. Sad and tragic in any scenario but especially so when you've led a life preaching to others about the sins of homosexuality.

Pro-Trump evangelical Jeff Jansen called the modern church “almost homosexual” and boasted about his ushers carrying guns in a bizarre streamed sermon.

https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2021/04/12/pro-trump-evangelical-christian-church-homosexual-jeff-jansen/



The self-proclaimed “prophet” said that “the church, the Ecclesia, the government of God, has been so neutered and so turned effeminate, almost homosexual” at a service in Oregon.

He didn’t say who or what is responsible for this, but continued his rant about a lack of “maleness” in the church, calling Jesus a “real man”.

“He whipped them. Sorry. He just whipped them,” he added. “He was a man.”

Jansen went on to brag about the ushers in his church carrying guns, claiming: “If you come to my church and you think about starting something, you’re dead. They’ll kill you.”

He also asked the audience: “Where are the men? Where’s the maleness? Where is the: ‘I will defend the children, I will protect the family?'”

At some point society needs to face the fact that religion is the CAUSE of these behaviors, and stop making excuses for religion by asserting these hypocrites are acting in spite of their religion.

If it was a woman they would have blamed her and after prayer and self reflection would be welcomed back.

Saw it happen 40 years ago when I was a kid and a believer.

"his own desires"? That's like admission it's way out there. Intuition is telling me this involves heels and wigs.

Another "prophet" hits the secular road with all his "profit".

Thanks, suckers!
