The church is the vehicle through which the spiritual war is prosecuted. One is either a child and immature spirit, or an adult, spiritually. To get the latter requires the overthrow of the former. This is a war for identity. Are we spiritually mature or immature? It is the spiritual child that governs the physical world. Were there no spiritually immature persons, there would be no need for the state. Nor would there be anyone to operate it. Thus, the mandate of the church is to overthrow the state, by maturing the spiritual children that operate the state and who require the state to exist.
