| You use the term rules of engagement to discern, disarm, and defeat the works of the enemy. | |
| What does rules of engagement mean? | |
| And can believers actually defeat the enemy? | |
| Yes, rules of engagement is a military term or is a military action that the soldiers, when they're using their force or they're deploying or initiating their weapons against the enemy. | |
| So rules of engagement is the guidelines and the limitation of what they can and cannot do. | |
| And as believers, we understand that Jesus already disarmed the enemy, but we also have the power according to Ephesians chapter 6. | |
| If we just read it, we can understand that we can be supernaturally suited and armored, and we can stand and in the power of God, and we can defeat him with the weapons of warfare, which is a spiritual weapon that destroys strongholds. | |
| So yes, we can win this battle and we can checkmate the enemy every time. | |
| We've been playing checkers too long, but I believe that we must rise up as a church and have strategies to be able to disarm the enemy and be able to know what the enemy is up to. | |
| Know your opponent, just like in chess, knowing what the enemy is thinking and not fight always defensively, but we can fight offensively, being prepared before the battle, not just in the battle or after the battle. | |
| So I believe that this is going to be a season that we're going to see the church rise up as a group and we're going to begin to get the things that the Lord has for us. | |
