I have been silent, but I have to say this:

My prayer is that more Christians would spend less time fighting about politics and more time praying for the politicians.

It seems that we have fallen into that time-tested, age old trap : getting caught up in the natural and fighting what we see with our natural eyes instead of pulling down all of those things that exalt themselves over the knowledge of Christ.

We have once again laid down our weapons of the supernatural to fight this war. We have abandoned our positions of authority in heavenly places to roll around in the mud, stooped to name calling instead of calling those things that are not as though they are.

We have given up territory that is ours--given to us by the King of Kings-- and resorted to using our own strategies instead of following the strategy given us by the Holy Ghost: Praying in the spirit ( praying in tongues) when you don't know how to pray or what to pray for.

I can just imagine our enemy telling his minions and imps to draw back, there is no need to expend their fiery darts right now. Hold your fire, he must be saying. Take this time to rest yourselves, get some sleep, even. We will gather our strength, reinforce our troops, plan new strategies.

Rest, while we can. Our enemy it seems,has turned on itself--we don't have to fight right now. This enemy , once so strong, is doing our job for us.
