America is at war, but not with whom you think. A subtle and leaking enemy is infiltrating every corner of America, running down our streets, and even invading our homes. The silent and ominous force, millennia old and highly skilled, stands ready to claim its victims instantly, potentially for eternity. It is nothing less than the dark cloak of evil. Undoubtedly, evil is escalating in America, permeating the culture and infiltrating the corridors of Congress, yet few are aware of it!

During a period of political turmoil, cultural deterioration, and escalating violence, many Americans perceive a deeper, darker force at work. According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, it is a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil. And it is getting ugly!

Leavitt, the youngest press secretary in U.S. history, made headlines after her recent remarks to the Christian Broadcasting Network, where she described the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, as a moment of divine intervention. “The president was saved by the grace of God,” she said. “He’s in this moment for a reason.”

Her words strike a chord with millions of Americans who have sensed a growing spiritual darkness of a corrosion of truth, justice, morality, and even common sense. From the normalization of violence and division to the erosion of foundational values, something has shifted.

Many churches and synagogues are ill-prepared to fight the advances of darkness. They may suddenly become aware of the violent war swirling around them and soon won't know what hit them!

While mainstream media often mocks or downplays the idea of spiritual warfare, the concept is far from fringe. Biblical teachings say that every conflict on earth is caused by a battle in the spiritual world between forces of light and forces of darkness. Leavitt described seeing it firsthand while campaigning with President Trump.

“I certainly believe in spiritual warfare,” she said. “There were evil forces. I think that’s clear.”

The attack isn’t just metaphor. For Leavitt and many others, the attempt on Trump’s life was not simply the act of a lone gunman or political extremist. It was a manifestation of a deeper war, not just over policy or power, but also over the nation's soul.

The United States is a nation under siege, and few are aware of the deep-seated damage it is making on our communities and families.

Whether it’s the rise in political violence, the disintegration of the family, the surge in mental illness and suicides, or the moral confusion being pushed in schools, America is showing signs of spiritual erosion. Many people feel this, even if they can’t fully explain it. There’s a heaviness in the air. An unnatural sense of chaos permeates the atmosphere.

Leavitt’s words serve as a reminder that this issue is not merely political or cultural; it’s spiritual. “We’re all here for a reason,” she said. “And I think it’s a miraculous thing that’s taken place in our country.”

Against this backdrop, Leavitt reports that her team initiates each press briefing with a prayer. They take a moment to call upon God for “confidence, protection, and the ability to articulate clearly.” That's a rare admission of faith in a spin-dominated political climate, and one that's increasingly necessary.

Despite her own political setbacks, including a loss in her 2022 House race, Leavitt holds fast to her faith. “God has a plan for everyone,” she said. "You must remain steadfast in your faith and trust that He is at work in your life."

In times like these, her message resonates, but how many will hear? The rising evil in America is real. It’s not always loud or obvious. It often comes dressed in the language of progress, tolerance, or entertainment. But underneath, it erodes truth, dismantles virtue, and silences faith.

Final Word: A lucky rabbit's foot will not defend from the cold grip of evil. Only light from the 'Most High' can protect America, and light is becoming a scarce commodity.
