Tactics, Trends, & Traits of the Enemy by author Jermaine Gadson is a must have resource for believers who want to be well equipped to be victorious against the strategies of the devil. The devil is cunning and deceptive, and he will stop at nothing to keep God’s people from reaching their potential in Christ. In this book, Pastor Gadson discusses how the enemy uses temptation, seduction, fear, isolation, guilt, shame, and other such things in order to steal and destroy a person’s life. Satan works tirelessly through various means and mechanisms to keep sinners from hearing and being receptive of the Word of God, in order to prevent them from being saved. If you have family or friends who are not born-again, this resource will help you to identify schemes that the enemy may be using to keep your loved ones from being saved. This book is intended to equip the Body of Christ to wage a good warfare against the strategies of the enemy. It is not God’s will for His people to be taken advantage of by the enemy because of ignorance. This book exposes who the enemy is, what he has done, what he is doing, and what he will try to do in the future, as an enemy of God’s people. This book is written for the everyday believer to be able to understand and use. However, it is also a helpful tool for Christian leaders to be able to identify specific ways in which the enemy desires to attack them in order to steal their influence, kill their destiny, and destroy their reputation and ministries. In this regard, it is an encouragement to the Body of Christ to guard and protect their spiritual leaders.
Excerpt:
Know Your Enemy
Before engaging in battle of
any kind, it is very important to be familiar with the opposition. The more you
know about your enemy, the greater you will be equipped to fight against them
and be victorious. Knowing your enemy includes being knowledgeable of their
strengths, weaknesses, habits, origin, and the like. When you are knowledgeable
about your adversary, you become empowered to develop a plan of action or
strategy to adequately defend against their opposition, overcome their threats
and defensive mechanisms, and ultimately defeat them.
Athletes and those who follow sports are familiar and acquainted with
this principle. Coaches and players spend hours upon hours viewing video
recordings of not only their own team, but of their upcoming opponents as well.
They view recordings to evaluate their own strengths and weaknesses as revealed
by previous games, and they do the same to identify strengths and weaknesses of
the next team they have to face.
This principle is certainly
pertinent in the area of the military as well. No military general, or top
ranking official who has authority over military personnel will in their right
mind authorize the use of military force without adequate information
concerning the enemy to be attacked. Right decisions require right information.
This is especially true if you want to come out victorious and on top.
Now that we can see the importance of this principle from a natural
standpoint, it makes sense that this would also apply spiritually in relation
to how we are to do battle with our spiritual enemy. As you read this book, I
hope that you will be able to see the importance of this material in helping
you towards this very end. The reason this book is so important is because the
person reading it is like a ballplayer looking at tape of his or her opponent
or a military general gathering intelligence on a terrorist organization.
When you know where your enemy came from, what your enemy has done in
the past, and what your enemy is presently capable of, you are more readily
prepared to wage a good warfare and defeat him in any present or future
encounters you may have.
