In the field of operations for spies in a war, in the liberation of hostages by special forces and in the tactical approaches of a coach in any sport, the plans or strategies to face his opponent or enemy, are not revealed. The spiritual realm is no stranger to this type of behavior, if the secret way in which we seek to counteract the attacks against the salvation of man, is communicated, it will end up giving enough knowledge to the enemy, with which it will affect the work of God in us.
A good and very strong example is fasting, do you fast when you have fallen in the fight or in order not to be weakened in it? You cannot wait to be defeated, you have to anticipate to overcome and thus, not to faint. In the secret of your soul, only God will know your most intimate needs and defeats and He Himself will give you the way to overcome.
1 Peter 5:6-8 NKJV
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Psalm 37:7 NKJV
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
Judges 7:13-16 NKJV

14 Then his companion answered and said, “This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel! Into his hand God has delivered Midian and the whole camp.”
15 And so it was, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshiped. He returned to the camp of Israel, and said, “Arise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand.” 16 Then he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet into every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and torches inside the pitchers
