That is the point.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
This world is not ours to fight for. We fight for the Kingdom of God, not for this fallen world. Our tools are not politics, protests and pogroms. It is prayer, fasting and faith. Even Christ, at the moment he was to be condemned to be crucified, addressed this:
Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
“Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”
“Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
Jesus knew that out struggle would not be for this lost world. It is for the people in it using the tools that he provided. There will be a time to fight, and he will be with us as we ride.
