The Lord kills, and makes alive: he brings down to the grave, and brings up. The Lord makes poor, and makes rich: he brings low, and lifts up. He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he has set the world upon them. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. (1 Samuel 2:6-10)

Now that a plan has been established, concecrate and commit it to the Lord. Though the whole situation may become worse at some point, do not lose spirit for it will work out for good. This is in order to show that despite whatever worst situation there is God is always able to work it for good. And the world will be impacted and it will reconsider its concept of God.

Be careful that no disinformation or deception be ever used again; for it is an abomination to the Lord. Know that because of the disinformation employed at the start, God frustrated the efforts that have been made so far. If something should/must be employed to advance a strategy, use an open active diversion that has a good chance of succeeding if ignored (while at the same time carrying out the main plan) -- rather than using disinformation or deception.

Be sensitive to the proddings of God's Spirit, for sometimes He will provide some information at unexpected times. Therefore let there be flexibility of plan. Be prepared to change strategies and/or tactics when the opportunity comes. By this, it will be recognizable that God is guiding and abiding. Strive to put a fair good fight even if the enemy uses unfair and deceptive tactics. This shall be done so that wickedness may see the righteousness of God.
