Politics and the Power of Division
We hear stories all the time about the supernatural—miraculous healings, unexplained sightings, near-death experiences.
But how do we know what’s real?
Are these rumors of spiritual beings, healings, and prophetic dreams dangerous deceptions—or is there something important for us to explore?
That’s the question investigative journalist and former atheist Lee Strobel asks in his new book, Seeing the Supernatural. Strobel examines the evidence for the unseen world—and invites us to consider what it means that God still rules over it.
And maybe that’s exactly where we need to start.
Because the real battle today isn’t just political, cultural, or ideological.
It’s spiritual.
We like to think politics is about ideas—policy, vision, leadership. But beneath the talking points and hashtags, something deeper is happening. Something darker.
Every election cycle, every social media storm, every argument at the dinner table… seems to feed a spirit that thrives on outrage.
That spirit has one goal: division.
And division is the oldest trick in the book.
Scripture says the enemy comes “to steal, kill, and destroy.”
He doesn’t need us to worship him to win—just to hate each other in God’s name.
Division isn’t just a political problem—it’s a spiritual weapon.
When we demonize our neighbor, we forget who the real enemy is.
And that’s the point.
We start to see people not as souls made in God’s image, but as enemies to defeat.
We trade humility for certainty.
Grace for self-righteousness.
Truth for tribal identity.
The enemy loves this. Because every time we choose outrage over empathy, or ideology over humanity, we do his work for him.
The spirit of division isn’t bound by party lines. It doesn’t care if you’re conservative or progressive.
It just needs you angry enough to forget compassion—and distracted enough to miss the real battle happening underneath.
And make no mistake, that battle is very real.
It’s not flesh and blood—it’s principalities and powers, as Ephesians 6:12 reminds us.
Demons don’t vote red or blue.
They just whisper the same lie to both sides: You’re right. They’re evil. You must destroy them.
The result? A culture on fire.
Families fractured.
Friendships ended.
Churches split.
Truth drowned in the noise.
And all the while, the real war—the war for our hearts and our unity—rages on unseen.
You can feel it, can’t you?
That heaviness in the air.
That exhaustion from living in a world addicted to outrage.
Because division feeds on energy—ours.
It feeds on scrolling, arguing, labeling, judging.
It feeds on our pride.
And pride, more than anything else, is the devil’s favorite door.
Pride says I’m right, you’re wrong.
Pride says I don’t need to listen.
Pride says I’m doing God’s work by destroying my brother.
But God never asked us to be right—He asked us to be righteous.
And righteousness always looks like love.
Here’s what’s really at stake:
When we let anger rule our hearts, when we see politics as a battlefield instead of a mission field, when we define people by their party instead of their humanity—we stop reflecting Christ.
That’s how darkness wins. Not through violence, but through division.
Not by possession, but by persuasion.
We think we’re fighting for truth, but we’re being played by the same enemy that’s been whispering since Eden: Did God really say…?
Did He really say love your enemies?
Did He really say forgive seventy times seven?
Did He really mean unity matters more than winning?
Yes.
He did.
This isn’t about ignoring evil or pretending politics don’t matter. They do.
But we can’t fight spiritual battles with worldly weapons.
We can’t heal division by doubling down on hate.
The real power isn’t in control—it’s in surrender.
It’s in prayer, discernment, humility, and love that looks insane to the world.
That’s how angels win wars—quietly, faithfully, one surrendered heart at a time.
If The War We Don’t See is the awareness that darkness exists,
and The Great Distraction is how it blinds us,
then this—The Power of Division—is how it divides us.
And the only antidote is unity rooted in truth.
Not political unity. Not surface-level tolerance.
But a holy unity that remembers we are brothers and sisters first, citizens of heaven before we are citizens of any country.
So let’s be the ones who refuse to take the bait.
Who stop feeding the outrage machine.
Who pray more than we post.
Who listen before we label.
Who call out evil without becoming it.
Because the kingdom of God will not be built by votes, but by love.
Maybe that’s what Strobel’s book reminds us of:
That the supernatural is not superstition. It’s reality.
And once you see it—once you see the unseen—you can never unsee it.
The question isn’t whether there are angels and demons influencing our world.
The question is: who’s influencing you?
Stay awake, friends.
The real enemy isn’t “them.”
It’s the spirit of division whispering between us.
Don’t let it win.
