WARRING FROM THE OFFENSE
Many times, battles are fought on the defense. It means that the enemy attacks, and then you defend yourself and your family and territory.
A good general will always prepare his soldiers to fight from an offense strategy. Knowing the enemy, he plans to go into the enemy’s camp and catch them off guard and take back what has been stolen or take new territory.
As Christians, we must recognize what the enemy’s tactics are. In John 10:10 it says, “The thief [Satan] cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy…”
Knowing that is his plan, we should not be surprised when these three things happen. We then work from the offensive to keep these things from happening.
Stealing: Satan wants to steal your anointing. He wants to steal your money. He wants to steal your call on your life. He wants to steal from every avenue in your life that he can.
Killing: Satan wants to kill your dreams. He wants to kill your walk with God. He wants to literally kill you with sin, sickness, and sudden tragic accidents that take your life, due to sin you allowed in your life.
Destroying: Satan wants to destroy everything about you. Your walk with God, your health, your marriage, your income, your job and everything else.
We must daily wear the armor of God to protect us from these attacks. We must walk in the spirit and not in the flesh. We must cast down imaginations and everything that would cause fear and doubt. This is how we war in the offensive.
Each of us must examine our own lives to see where we are with God. We must always repent of any sin that opens a legal gate to Satan. When we do these things, we win the battle before they start. That is being on the offensive.
