Why we need to pray for the Democratic Party

The passing of the Reproductive Health Act by the New York legislature is another indication of the formation of a demonic stronghold within the Democratic Party.

I know this is a bold statement and one which may elicit strong reactions. This is not a political issue, but a spiritual one which happens to be taking place within a political arena. In addition the current polarized political climate adds to the reactiveness of this bold statement.

I believe the passing of this act is an indication of the continuing formation of a demonic stronghold. This stronghold is promoting anti-God and anti-Judeo-Christian values in the culture.

What is disturbing is that this stronghold seems to be being established within the Democratic Party.

Spiritual not Political

This is not simply a difference in political philosophy, which is helpful and beneficial for our society. There is a need for the difference of opinions. There is a need for good debate upon issues. There is a need for the checks and balances that the differences in political philosophy provide. without them, there is the danger of totalitarian rule.

But this is not about political philosophy. This is the development of a demonic stronghold which is intent on promoting an anti-God and anti-Judeo-Christian ideology. From observing current events this ideology seems intent on taking over the Democratic Party inorder to create chaos in the country.

This does not mean that there are not issues and challenges within the Republican Party–of course there are! I (Brad) am not blind to any of those faults and potentials for evil among those for whom I voted.  

But in regards to abortion and late-term abortion, the President and Vice President, in the State of the Union Address and the at the March for Life respectively, have named this evil and the consequences of it. In this they have been joined by other members of the Republican party.  

Radical Agenda

But it seems that in the Democratic Party there is either acquiescence or aggressive promotion of a more and more radical agenda.

This agenda is like a Trojan Horse.¹ It carries a deadly virus of an anti-God Marxist totalitarian ideological replacement of our Judeo-Christian values. It is on these values that our governmental system is based. They protect our rights and liberties given to us by God.  

Stronghold Indicators

The issue of approving full-term abortions is just one of an number of indicators of the growing influence of this ideology within the Democratic Party.  Another indicator is the bill which the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives made which would remove any reference to faith or God in the oath taken before giving sworn testimony. ²

This bill was rejected because of the opposition from House Republicans, but it is profoundly revealing of what seems to becoming the heart and agenda of the Democratic Party. This attempt to remove God from the oath was one of the first actions by the new Democratic majority in the House. ³

Beyond Politics

It is important to look past the actions of politicians, which can, and should be openly debated and on which there may be differences of opinion. Instead we need to look to the deeper underling unifying ideology that is behind these specific actions. This ideology stands against the advancement of the Kingdom of God.   

This ungodly anti-Judeo-Christian values ideology, when it takes root in people’s hearts, is the basis that Satan uses in order to build strongholds. These strongholds give him the structures from which to carry out his plans on earth. These plans include blocking the advancement of the Kingdom of God and the spiritual and political enslaving of humanity.  

Satan seems to have succeeded in blinding many in the Democratic Party, in the media, and in the popular culture to the catastrophic consequences for humanity of this anti-God, essentially Marxist ideology, by the smoke-screen of vague terms like, “democratic socialism,” “intersectionality,” and “Reproductive Justice.”  

There seems to be a blindness to the irrefutable consequences of this ideology. Which can be seen in Communism in the Soviet Union and China. It was seen in Nazism (which stands for National Socialism!) in Germany during the last century. Today there are clear examples of the danger in North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela. These economic and social disasters are a tribute to the effectiveness of Satan’s tactic of demonic cloaking.  

We need to Pray

The Lord calls us to pray for our governmental officials. “First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity” (1 Timothy 2:1-2)

• Pray for godly people to be placed in positions of authority within political parties.
• Pray for the exposure of Satan’s plans within all the political parties.
• Pray for those in the Democratic Party to push back against the ideology of the radical left.
• Pray equally for the push back of the far right agenda within the Republican party.
• Pray for the Lord to raise up intercessors and prayer warriors who when led by the Holy Spirit can break down demonic strongholds forming against the advancing Kingdom of God.
