In physical combat, and non spiritual confrontations, attack is said to be the best form of defense.

Is this also applicable in the spiritual realm? You got wind of an evil spiritual attack that can even cost your life, do you look for some godly spiritual ways to attack the person (s) planning to attack you as a defense mechanism, or you wait and watch as your life is been threatened.

How about using physical attack as a defense to an impending spiritual and deadly attack.
