That said, are you saying that our strategy in fighting communism/Wokeism in America is a purely religious one and only a religious one?
I think, for example, that WWII in Europe was a war against an enemy (Nazi Germany, not to include all Germans) who was united in its hatred of God also. But we fought that enemy using our military instead of the Cross.
I'm not saying I am against fighting an enemy armed only with God, but it will be an exciting day when we get to march into gunfire with only our Bibles and prayers.
Let me repeat, as a devout Christian, I am not against that. Actually, I think it might very well lead to a miracle. It's just that my feet get tingly when I think about it.;-)
"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:5 KJB
We apply that strategy to the area of the battlefield-- the imagination of man and his thoughts. This is where spiritual battles are waged--- in the unseen realm of the mind. As the Lord our God created each one of us as unseen living souls embedded within physical matter, our unseen minds or intellects are to our souls as our physical brains are to our physical bodies. Thus the mind interfaces with the physical realm through the brain.
The word "thought" shows that the conflict is not physical, but is in the spiritual realm of ideas and imaginations against the truth. People have always had trouble with their imagination, the deluge itself having been the God-imposed penalty for man's imagination, which was "only evil continually" (Genesis 6:5).
The spiritual realm of the mind is where Satan challenges God. He plants thoughts, ideologies, anti-creation origin accounts (ie., Darwinism), utopian fantasies, poisonous ideologies, and so on.
Because thoughts, ideologies, and so on are of the spiritual realm their consequences are unseen, hence unknown to those who embrace them.
When we enter into spiritual combat, we are contending against Satan, Powers, Principalities, and demons as they are the 'authors' of all 'knowledge' that exalts itself against the Lord our God. Thus we really are marching into 'gunfire' (unseen fiery darts, knives, oppression) with our Bibles, prayers, and the Lord our God.
