What is a battle drill? In the army we have what are called battle drills. They are actions that are taken for a given situation and they are well rehearsed so that they become second nature. Examples of battle drills would be react to contact, react to indirect fire or clear a room. An example of actions to be taken would be get down, seek cover, and return fire. These actions are rehearsed to the point that they become reflexive in the situation that they were intended for.
In our Christian walk we should develop battle drills to combat situations that we encounter. For example, if one has a problem with anger memorize verses that deal with anger, rehearse them, and make them second nature. That way when a situation arises where one could become angry those verses come immediately to mind.
One of the first actions in any battle drill that we develop to deal with our weakness should be pray. Ask or strength and guidance to deal with the temptation. If we fail the test then we utilize 1 John 1:9 and move on from there. If we are not in fellowship we will not pass any test.
Conclusion
As believers in Jesus Christ we are in a war. If we do not learn to put on our armor and use the weapons of our warfare then we will become casualties or be taken prisoner by the enemy.
In 2 Corinthians 10:5 we read “we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,” are you taking every thought captive or are your thoughts taking you captive?
Are you serving as a soldier? Or are you AWOL from the conflict?
