GODS BATTLE STRATEGY
The processing
JUST JOIN AND OBEY, DON'T CONTROL
Deuteronomy 20:2-4 NIV
When you are about to go into battle, the priest shall come forward and address the army. [3] He shall say: “Hear, Israel: Today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not panic or be terrified by them. [4] For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory. ”
NOTE: GOING TO BATTLE MEANS YOU ARE GOING TO FIGHT AS A PHYSICAL REPRESENTATIVE OF GOD...ITS NOT YOUR BATTLE...OR DID YOU CARRY ANY BATTLE TO THIS WORLD...NO! SO LET THE OWNER FIGHT...JUST DO WHAT HE SAYS...AS WRITTEN ABOVE
( ref: Exd 14:14, 1 Chr 5:22, Neh 4:20)
SOLDIERS MUST GIVE FULL CONCENTRATION OR DON'T BOTHER.
Deuteronomy 20:5, 8 NIV
The officers shall say to the army: “Has anyone built a new house and not yet begun to live in it? Let him go home, or he may die in battle and someone else may begin to live in it. [8] Then the officers shall add, “Is anyone afraid or fainthearted? Let him go home so that his fellow soldiers will not become disheartened too.”.......
(((((( WHY SEND THESE SOLDIERS HOME?)))))))
Any soldier whose thoughts might be occupied with anything other than war was sent home. Israel needed soldiers who could concentrate on the task at hand. Those not at peak performance or those whose fear might discourage others (v. 8) could have been detrimental to the war effort
APPOINT TRUSTED AND QUALIFIED COMMANDERS AMONGST YOUR TEAM
Deuteronomy 20:9 NIV
When the officers have finished speaking to the army, they shall appoint commanders over it.
ENEMIES THAT SURRENDER SHOULD BE BOUGHT UNDER GODS DISCIPLINED AUTHORITY/ THOSE WHO DO NOT SHOULD BE SLAYED...Deut 20:10-13...#Compared to your victory over sin and principalities...all should be slayed..nothing left in traces#
WHEN YOU HAVE WON THIS SPIRITUAL BATTLES OF TODAY...BREAK THE BRIDGES OF ANY PAST ( REAL ENEMY) eg Sin, Lust, principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, deceit, peer influence et all..SO THAT THEY WONT GET YOU AGAIN UNAWARE... Deuteronomy 20:16-18 NIV
However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. [17] Completely destroy them---the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites---as the Lord your God has commanded you. [18] Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God.
FINALLY AFTER VICTORY AND YOUR NEW LIFE, BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU CUT OF OR ABANDON... Deuteronomy 20:19-20 NIV
When you lay siege to a city for a long time, fighting against it to capture it, do not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them, because you can eat their fruit. Do not cut them down. Are the trees people, that you should besiege them? [20] However, you may cut down trees that you know are not fruit trees and use them to build siege works until the city at war with you falls.
EG...YOU CANT DIVORCE A WIFE YOU MARRIED AS A SINNER, OR DISREGARD LESSONS OF LIFE AS A SINNER BECAUSE YOU ARE NOW BORN AGAIN...Wisdom is profitable to direct.!
Prayer
Lord! FIGHT YOUR BATTLES, We attack because we know you are in Command
