Joshua 24 - Judges 9

More biblical military strategies

Strategy no.4:-
You gotta be left-handed. Create for yourself a mini-dagger and hide it under your clothes. Present a tribute to the king of your choice. Tell him you've got a 'secret message' and get everyone to leave the room. Thrust your dagger (and the rest of the details you can read yourself, the bible's quite graphic, VERY GRAPHIC!). Once you've got their leader, bring in the rest of your men into the war and win :)

Strategy no.5:-
Bring in a girl with you :) (seriously, check out the war Barak fought ;)
Also let another girl offer accommodation to the enemy's leader, offer him milk and blanket. When he is asleep, bring in a tent peg and hammer.... (sorry! i was grossed out as well!)

Strategy no.6:-
First find out if God's really on your side by offering him some food and see if He'll set it on fire. If that's not enough get a fleece and ask God to make the fleece wet while the ground is dry in the morning. If that is STILL not enough ask God to reverse the order, make the fleece dry while the ground is wet in the morning. Once you've made sure He's on your side start by getting your troops. Make sure ALL the wimps are NOT on your team. (note about 22,000 men will leave you, leaving you with only 10,000 real men). After that send your 10,000 men to drink water. Those who drink (laps) like a dog separate them from those who drink (laps) from their hands. (note that this will leave you with 300 real and alert men).

Now. With your 300 real and alert men (this sounds like the movie 300! lol), arm them with pitches and torches on one hand, and a horn on the other. Break into 3 divisions and sneak up on your enemy surrounding them at night. At your signal, command your army to break their pitches and blow their horns! This should cause utter confusion in the enemy's camp and they'll end up killing each other. Finish up the remnants :)

The key to winning with this strategies still remain the same: follow His directives. Not by might, not by power, but by His spirit. And also to note, finish up your spiritual enemies, cause if you don't they'll continually be a pain. Sometimes God 'allows' these enemies to still hang around, to test us. to keep us humble and dependent on Him. Interesting eh?
