Tactical Tuesday: Outsmart Your Enemy

Today's theme is Tactical Tuesday because today we don't fight hard... we fight smart.

I don't know about you but I'm tired of becoming weary from fighting battles the hard way. There are ways we can outsmart our adversary, the devil, without exhausting ourselves.

Ephesians 6:10-11 says, ¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Never leave home without your armor! Put on salvation which is your helmit to protect your mind from ungodly thoughts. Put on righteousness which is your breastplate to protect your heart from devising evil. Put on truth which is your belt because Jesus is truth and truth makes you free. Put on a readiness to witness the gospel which are you shoes to take you where you need to go. Take faith with you for this is your shield to protect you from whatever the enemy shoots at you, and finally, take the Word of God as your sword to thrust into your enemy's heart!

Satan and his band of cohorts are limited in their power. They cannot read your mind nor can they appear in more than one place at a time. Only God possess those abilities! That levels the playing field already. They can, however, hear the words you speak so speak words of power to defeat them! Proverbs 18:21 declares that your tongue holds the power of life and death so you get to chose which one you will speak into existance! You speak life by simply saying what God says - speak His word over yourself, and by doing so you not only come into agreement with Him, but you release those words into the atmosphere like bullets leaving a gun! This is how we fight smart.

So don't try to fist fight the devil today...outsmart and defeat him by getting to him before he gets to you!

Have a Tactical Tuesday!
