Since the Kingdom Jesus spoke of is not of this world, you join the world whenever they bring up some problem concerning the world. The world having many issues. Jesus did not call us to defend the land or a culture. He called us to His kingdom which is above. Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. The ruler of this world is Satan. Not Man, nor Muslims, nor Islamists, nor some other terrorist in Mans relations. Flesh battling flesh within the confines of the flesh. When we battle man on mans terms we battle against flesh and blood. Then we submit to the flesh and become as flesh. We then enter into the world of the flesh. What fellowship hath Light with Darkness? None. Darkness always overcomes light if we go in the flesh. James 4:12 There is one lawgiver, and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver. 1 From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members? 2 You covet, and have not: you kill, and envy, and can not obtain. You contend and war, and you have not, because you ask not. 4 Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God. James 1:20 For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God. 16 For where envying and contention is, there is inconstancy, and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom, that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation. 18 And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace.  We battle in the spiritual to remove the spiritual wickedness over certain issues that are being oppressed, that is how we conquer with the Spirit. We lay up prayers to God, through Mary and Jesus, saints, we call upon heavenly powers. They defeat the powers that be. As an example of this let us think of Moses and the Hebrews. Was it mans power that brought the Hebrews out of Egypt?In the Book of Acts, was it mans power that brought about the Church? Our flesh is just a covering over our Souls and Spirits. We have a greater power, Greater is He that is in Me than, he that is in this world. For God has not given to us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. We are the temples of the Holy Spirit, which makes us the temples of God. We are called to worship God not mammon. Mammon thinks this world is it. It is clearly not. We have a greater home, this life on earth is but blink compared to Eternity. Eternity is endless.As we learn about Christ and His mission we Preach Christ. We do not combat flesh and blood. God made Flesh and blood, only He is the Judge of Man. We are just called to Follow Christ, To Serve Christ, To live as Christ Lived. He did not war, kill, destroy, man while He walked among us.We are to bring this message to who was(the dead), is and will be. Nothing else regarding this. Let your yay be yay your nay be nay, anything else is of evil. We do not have to give some exhorbant spectucalur words. If and when they come to Christ because the Father Draws them by His Spirit, you can then give them more. Someone has to be around to bring the Good News. If not, then, the Spirit is grieved. If all we do is preach issues like, abortion, killing, whatever else is wrong with society, we preach the world. Which is in sin. We testify of it, we admonish it, we admit to it, then we live in it, and we live it. The way of Christ the way of the Cross. Walk it and live it then you will have an abundant harvest.The opposite direction we must go. There will always be issues to pray for. The best weapon. because we call upon God as Moses called upon God, as Joshua called upon God and finally as Jesus called upon God the Father. This is the power we have. None Greater than this. It is Greater than Man, it is Greater than Satan. Am I saying that we ignore the issues of today? No! The way we go about it. The Lords prayer Our Father, the Virgin calls us to pray for poor sinners. St. Paul calls us to pray without ceasing. Why? Because man cannot fix problems of it's sins without Gods help. That is why Christ died for us, so He can help us out of our sins which causes evil. Christ came to destroy the works of the Devil.  Peace be with you all needasaint on "My Kingdom is not of this WORLD!" http://forums.catholicexchange.com/topic/742#post-12696 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 09:43:26 +0000 needasaint 12696@http://forums.catholicexchange.com/ Jesus told His audience that his kingdom is not of this world, "Pilate"For those who have been stuck looking for a sign: Here's the answer:1 Map, the Bible is a road map to my kingdom. 2 It has all the answers you require3 With your intelligence you will not see the road map4 Only with the eyes and ears of the quiet one will you see it5 Who is the quiet one?Answer: Holy Spirit, Paraclete, Comforter, Helper = God6 I have told you for years yet you trust in your own intellect.7 In order to HEAR the quiet one you must be still and know that I AM GODfor when you are running around in your intelligence you are not hearing God.Quiet yourselves, meditate that's what these prayers are for to teach you how to listen to the Quiet One.
