Honor based warfare is the spiritual warfare strategy for the season of the accuser of the brethren!
Defining Honor: כָּבֵד- kabed (Hebrew): to be heavy, weighty, honored, to give weight to someone. Used to describe both the glory of God and human honor. Reverence, respect, giving proper value.
Defining Honor: τιμή – timē (Greek): properly assign value (give honor), as it reflects the personal esteem (value, preciousness) attached to it by the beholder.
Honor Simplified: To assign Heaven's value.

Honor- GOVERNED BY HONOR
Honor reflects Heaven’s value. Honor protects freedom, creates safe places and reflects a Kingdom identity. Honor is about self-control not control.
