How El Salvador was able to reduce crimes?

The power of Prayer.

            .

Introduction

I came across a video recently in which Tucker Carlson interviewed the Nayib Bukele, the 43rd President of El Salvador. El Salvador was considered one of the most dangerous countries in the world and now it is safer than many other countries. Tucker asked the President how he was able to achieve that. Of course, the President said they rolled out several initiatives to combat crime, but the real solution came about due to a miracle which is because of him and his cabinet praying to God.

Background

Over ten years ago, the murder rate in El Salvador was 103 per 100,000 inhabitants. The murder rate is now 2.4 per 100,000 inhabitants. 70,000 gang members ae

Prayer

President Bukele recognized that what he was facing in El Salvador was a spiritual battle. The gangs in their country are satanic and therefore being controlled by Satan. To win a spiritual battle, you must fight spiritually. You fight spiritually by praying, putting the full armour of God and believing a change will take place. Fighting in the natural realm is inadequate.

Fighting in the natural realm is not enough

As you consider what is happening in the Turks and Caicos and the rest of the world, crime is becoming a global issue. Some of us blamed the politicians and the police for not solving the crime situation. The politicians and the police have a role to play but I know it does not matter what political party or who the Commissioner of Police is if they continue to fight crime in the natural realm.

We need to apply the biblical strategy that President Bukele uses in El Salvador. We really need to pray not just when a crime takes place but always pray. Our society is not the same anymore and it is because many of us no longer have a fear of God. We are not praying anymore. We are not believing in God anymore.

Our country also has an influx of people who believe in another God other than the God of Abraham, Isaac ad Jacob. There are Satan worshippers in this country. Demons are loose in our community and controlling the minds of so many people and so whatever their minds tell them to do, they are doing it. In addition to demons, the minds of many are being controlled by the music they listen to.

Conclusion

The President of El Salvador rolled out a plan to deal with the gangs. The effective way was using the power of pray. I encourage you today to pray always. Don’t be reactive and wait until something happens and then pray. Don’t take prayer for granted. I know many of us are so preoccupied with other events and issues in your life but find the time to pray.

We are in a spiritual battle with individuals being controlled by demonic forces such as a spirit of jealousy, a spirit of greed, a spirit of murder and a spirit of poverty. Do not be afraid. Pray.
