Act before the first surge. Make a clear faith transaction with God for enduement and continue ordinary duties with minute obedience; then pray offensively against hindering spirits, for the cleansing and deliverance of the deceived, for the purity of the coming work, and for the preparation of trained guardians of revival. As evidences arise, keep your mind reasoning, aim your spirit outward in witness and unity, and test manifestations by durable fruit: liberty of utterance without loss of self-control, clarified understanding, corporate harmony across differing knowledge levels, and effective conviction in hearers. If signs lag, ask God to remove obstacles He reveals—especially inward-turning, curiosity about wonders, pride, or desire for special marks—and refuse any experience that dulls agency or breeds harshness or separation. This counterintuitive posture resists passivity, keeps the outflow clear, and converts the adversary’s earliest push into lasting gains by locking counterfeit doors before they open.

The Counter‑File Ritual operationalizes this philosophy in moments that would otherwise cement shame, aligning immediate tactics with long‑term character formation.

Exception handling as one of the worst sources of complexity in software systems. This is because exceptions increases the complexity of a module because it becomes part of the module’s interface causing users of the module to become aware of it, and increases the number of places where a potential exception must be handled.
The strategic goal of training must always be to build capable leaders at every level of the team. For this, hard training is essential. But if training is too hard, it will break the team and minimize learning and growth. So there must be balance: train hard, but train smart.
