Agreed on! "One thing it seems that most Christians can’t get hold of is the fact that all our battles are Spiritual, and must be fought in the Spiritual realm."

Jesus invited us to seek the kindom of God 1st, yet we commonly see we're prone or lured away by the News we head on a blog label as "polítics" since it has to do with our daily living, the unrest of money (mammon) because it seems it buys some peace when certain amounts are achieved.
I'm not the only one raised in the sordid world I wish i were utterly removed and If worldly discossions were permitted on this site, our hyperlink will bring readers from the whole www.

The whole Bible shows God used to many men in power to bring humans into His fellowship but, what gets me upsep, it's how easy we ppl get entangled in ppl's lies; same way Absalom did to be king after his father David: we ppl do not see the IDOLATRY behind polítics, TV, sports and so one. I myself am fighting to remove idolatry when I revered beautify or easy life.

Thanks for those key underlined verses and the interaction!

Hello Jorge, Prayers are answered according to God’s will. It reminds me of Luke 9:51-56 (KJV)
⁵¹  And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
⁵²  And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
⁵³  And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
⁵⁴  And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
⁵⁵  But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
⁵⁶  For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. Also Ephesians 6:10-19 (KJV)
¹⁰  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
¹¹  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
¹²  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
¹³  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
¹⁴  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
¹⁵  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
¹⁶  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
¹⁷  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
¹⁸  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
¹⁹  And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

So our battles and warfare are not against these various doctrines, Communism, socialism etc. One thing it seems that most Christians can’t get hold of is the fact that all our battles are Spiritual, and must be fought in the Spiritual realm. Isa 58 tells us that we are to live a fasted life, breaking the bands of wickedness, undoing the heavy burdens, letting the oppressed go free… So my prayer for you and your country is, that God would give unto you and your leaders Wisdom, and Knowledge of God, that the eyes of your understanding would be enlighten, that you may know how to fight against your enemies, Communism, Socialism is not your enemies, we have only one enemy, and that is satin, and he has been defeated. Not God has given to every believer the power and authority over all the works of the enemy, Here is another prayer in  Ephesians 3:14-20 (KJV)
¹⁴  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
¹⁵  Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
¹⁶  That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
¹⁷  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
¹⁸  May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
¹⁹  And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
²⁰  Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

 Things aren’t getting any better here in the USA either, even though we have a president that wants to do right, get back to the constitution, and biblical principles that this country was built on, we have those that think that A Socialistic form of government will be better for us. Thinking that man has the solution for our problems, but when we start trusting in man, and not God we will be like He says in  Jeremiah 17:5-8 (KJV)
⁵  Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
⁶  For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
⁷  Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
⁸  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.  

Must go for now. JB.

PS I will be out for a couple of weeks, will check back then, Lord Bless
