The Warfare Is Real

Spiritual Warfare is what is going on in our nation. Satan has been working behind the scenes to create chaos, strife, and violence.

The Bible is clear that “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil.” (Ephesians 6:12-13)

The people with whom I disagree are not my enemies, nor am I theirs. We dare not treat each other that way or we will forever cease to be a nation united.

The invective and vitriol that saturates our media, social or otherwise, prevents any true understanding of one another’s views. If a person can’t express his or her views without fear of condemnation, then all genuine conversation ceases.

I especially call upon my brothers and sisters in Christ to “speak the truth in love” (Eph. 4:15) and “let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.” (Col. 4:6)

I implore all of us to recognize the dark spiritual forces at work to destroy this nation. Tone down the rhetoric, stop viewing your fellow citizens as your enemies, and make a conscious choice to “not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:21)

Let’s not give Satan the win he so desires.
