So much political tension out there still. Sup with that, the US election is over isn't it? What can you and I do about it? We can simply pray and obey.

We can express our faith -- we can worship, praise and pray biblically. 

Might not appear like it, but the battle happening in America isn't just political only. It perhaps looks almost all political, but it is mostly and fundamentally one of spiritual warfare. 

It has a lot to do with Leftism here (I’m not a Liberal, but did you know most traditional Liberals were either Christian or Jews back in the day, but now "Liberals" are off in leftfield. God loves Conservatives, Independents and Liberals--wants to save all individuals), but Leftism from the French Revolution to Karl Marx to Socialism to full on Communism (which doesn't work in any country, never did)..has always hated biblical Christianity, Jesus Christ and our good values. Note: Christianity is vastly different from mere religion. So what can we do today? We can simply pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus. Yeah, let’s keep it simple and to the point. We can show love to people and witness to them of Christ's love as well.. with the aim of winning them to Christ. All individuals need to turn and trust (repent and believe in) Jesus. 

Sure, in addition to praying.. there's of course practical foot-work of obedience to do as well. The Bible says... 

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” This text teaches some crucial truths: we can only stand strong in the Lord’s power, it is God’s armor that protects us, and our battle is ultimately against spiritual forces of evil in the world.”  Ephesians 6:10–12

We rely on God’s power, not our own. We put on the whole armor of God. We draw on the power of Scripture—the Word of God is the Spirit’s sword. We pray in perseverance and holiness, making our appeal to God. We stand firm (Ephesians 6:13–14); we submit to God; we resist the devil’s work (James 4:7), knowing that the Lord of hosts is our protector. “Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken” (Psalm 62:2).
