Fighting Christian spiritual warfare battles at night is one tactic we can learn from the Bible. Biblical battles that were fought at night include:
Abram vs King Chedorlaomer, King Tidal, King Amraphel and King Arioch
The five kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela went out to fight the following four kings: King Chedorlaomer of Elam, King Tidal of nations, King Amraphel of Shinar and King Arioch of Ellasar. The five kings lost and as a result, Lot who lived in Sodom, was captured by the four winning kings.
When Abram was informed that his nephew had been captured, he armed his personal army of 318 who had been born and trained in his house. He divided his forces against the capturing armies, attacked and pursued them BY NIGHT. (Genesis 14:15)
Abram defeated those four kings and rescued Lot and his goods, the other people who had been captured with him and all the goods that had been taken. (Genesis 14:1-17)
Samson vs The Gazites
When Samson went to a harlot in Gaza, the Gazites surrounded the place and lay in wait for him at the city gate at night. They remained queit, saying they would kill him in the daylight.
Samson also lay low until midnight when he arose, took the doors of the city gates, the gateposts and pulled them up and carried them to the hill. (Judges 16:1-3)
Paul and Silas
Paul and Silas were also singing praises and praying to God from their prison cells when the foundations of their prison were shaken and the doors of their prison opened. (Acts 16)
