Jonathan Cahn Reveals Reality of Today’s Spiritual Warfare to World Leaders
On Wednesday, Jan. 31, world leaders gathered for the National Gathering for Prayer & Repentance.
Each one was introduced to the spiritual battle taking place in the world today, clarified in the New York Times best-selling book by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, “The Return of the Gods.”
Host Jim Garlow, along with President of the Family Research Council Tony Perkins, revealed to the audience that this was the piece of literature that exposed the plans of the enemy for American culture today.
“This book spoke to me because as we wrestle with so many issues here in our nations capital, and literally around the world, it’s a reminder of what Paul said in Ephesians 6, that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. Those principalities are still working today, and their grip upon this nation is stronger than I think than ever,” shares Perkins.

“Jonathan lays that out in this book, and I believe Jim, that’s why it does lay the foundation to drive us to our knees in repentance. Recognizing that we must battle in the heavenlies before we ever walk in the realm of politics,” Perkins says.
Garlow points to the book’s exposure of the enemy’s plans, and that people must become aware of the most important battle being fought in the world today isn’t against nations, but against the ancient enemy of God.
“What you have been given is a book that explains what is happening in America and the other nations represented here, more than any other one single book I am aware of” shares Garlow.
Taking the stage, Rabbi Cahn shared with the world the importance of the time we live in and the spiritual battles being waged.
“We are standing at a critical, dangerous moment. We have opened the door to what we never should have opened it to. We have no idea what we have unleashed,” warns Cahn.
“Any civilization, any culture, any nation that has known God, and His word, and His power, and His ways, and His salvation, if it should ever turn away from God…it will not remain empty. That which was cast out of it, will come back into it. It will return to it’s former state and worse.
“And so for a Christian organization or a nation to turn away from God, is a most dangerous thing.”
This turning away, this apostasy in America, this casting out of God, has opened the floodgates to demonic principalities to take up residence in a once-Christian nation.
People are experiencing increased mental health issues, witnessing sexual and violent content in media, shunning the ways of God for the ways of the world, and the nation is far worse off for it.
“We are now witnessing the paganization of our culture,” reveals Cahn. “Where God is replaced by idols and truth is replaced with many truths or no truth. And where the world is worshipped and man becomes god.”
There is only one path for America to save itself from this battlefront of spiritual assault: repentance.
“There can only be one answer: we must turn back to God,” Cahn says.
“Without that, without revival, America as we know it is gone. And so we must now, in this capital city and around this nation, pray as we have never before prayed, for repentance and revival. And commit to living that repentance and that revival. We must pray for the power of God to cast out the spirits of darkness from our land, from the halls of our capital.”{eoa}
