Every one of those council members, and those in attendance, will have to one day give an account as to why they did not speak out against this abhorrent example of a "prayer".
A CITY COUNCIL IN IOWA JUST OPENED ITS MEETING WITH A PRAYER TO SATAN
The invocation at the Ottumwa city council meeting reportedly ended with the words "Hail Satan."
This is a small town in the heartland, not some coastal college campus.
When a community starts letting the devil lead off its public meetings, something has gone badly wrong with the people running the show.
Ottumwa residents deserve answers about how this got on the agenda and who signed off on it.
Pray for that town today, because they clearly need it more than ever
From their Facebook page:
"City of Ottumwa, Iowa - City Government
It is very clear that many of you have watched at least the first two minutes of the October 6 City Council meeting.
We have been fielding calls all day about the invocation given at this meeting. Some calls have been cordial, while many have been rude and full of profanities.
An invocation policy was passed on January 20, 2026, that started the practice of invocations at regular meetings.
We cannot discriminate against a denomination and everyone that is invited to perform the invocation has followed the correct protocol.
We are not informed ahead of time what will be said for an invocation nor do we automatically endorse what the speaker is saying. We encourage everyone to review the policy."
In conclusion; These demons created a policy, not backed by any law to praise Satan in a Christian nation!
Galatians 6:7-8
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
