who violated the constitution because he was too hasty\u2019 (P4LDG). Some pastors think that they do not declare against the government because the church is not a political institution. Generally they do not make the difference between \u2018party politics\u2019 and \u2018politics as action taken by citizens\u2019 in which all entities including the church should participate.\u000ASome authors affirm that the open support for the government could be interpreted as a pragmatic attitude given because of ideological affiliation. Paul Gifford commenting about the Ghanaian Pentecostal churches notes that these accepted new governments, not because they were part of a conspiracy, nor because they were aligned to the paradigm of the \u2018religious right\u2019 , but because with pragmatism they wanted the government to respect them and if possible bless them with some material rewards (1995: 5). Taking into account differences, probably the NPS have followed a similar pattern of conduct seeking to benefit the country. In both cases, there is some drawing together of religion and policy. Freston says that religion is being used for political means, and often politics are used for religious ends. In Guatemala the politicians and governments have used both the Evangelical and Catholic forms of religion to obtain political ends (2001: 292).\u000AThis non-confrontational openness to the government does not mean an acceptance of the state of things. Some of the NPS interpret and confront social and political problems from the framework of spiritual warfare. They consider that the social structures, including the political ones, are under the dominion of Satan and release comes through prayer warfare. Their understanding of the social-political problems rests on a spiritual plane. Through prayer God can change the circumstances and solve the country\u2019s problems. Caballeros requested the pastors of the country to unite in the \u2018Jesus is Lord of Guatemala\u2019 campaign. In his letter he emphasized the need to fight a battle against spiritual evil forces in order to change the country. He affirmed, \u2018we have the responsibility to bring change to Guatemala, a change through the Spirit of God, a change in name of Jesus, a change through prayer\u0027 (\u2018Llamados a Redimir nuestra naci\u00F3n\u2019, n.d.: 4).
