We are apt to view politics merely as a natural thing, but the Bible tells us differently. Scripture tells us that politics always has a supernatural dimension: Satan is intimately involved in it, but it is also ultimately under the sovereign hand of God. That means that politics is always conspiratorial, though not in the way that some people think when they speak of conspiracies at work behind the scenes.
We must never look at events in isolation from the bigger picture. Ted Haggard was exposed the way that he was, on the day he was, because of the bigger picture, the bigger conspiracy -- not just one party against another, but Satan against God.
In spite of demonic powers working behind the political scene, God is still sovereign, and no one comes to power apart from his purpose. Politics is also a tool that God uses to bring us good.
Putting these truths together, we gain an understanding of how essential it is that we pray. It is as we pray that God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven. We are kings and priests now, and by our prayers kingdoms rise and fall.
