The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. — Romans 16:20 |
Who is responsible for the infamy, terror, and agony that we see all around us? How can we account for the sufferings that we all experience if evil is not a potent force? Education has, in truth, impeded our minds. Because of allegedly scientific findings, some have lost their belief in the supernatural powers of Satan, while others worship him. George Galloway summed up this dubious contribution of current education when he said, "The theory that there is in the universe a power or principle, personal or otherwise, in eternal opposition to God is generally discarded by the modern mind." The modern mind may discard it, but that doesn't cause the evil principle itself to disappear! Once asked how he overcame the devil, Martin Luther replied, "Well, when he comes knocking upon the door of my heart and asks, 'Who lives here?' the dear Lord Jesus goes to the door and says, 'Martin Luther used to live here but he has moved out. Now I live here.' The Devil, seeing the nail-prints in His hands, and the pierced side, takes flight immediately." What can you do when you are confronted with evil? * |

Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. — 1 Peter 5:9 |
A poet once said, "The devil trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees." We can depend upon the blood of Christ when we are under attack. There are times when we simply must hide behind the person of Christ and ask Him to handle our problems. Jude says, "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee" (v. 9 KJV). That's what we need to do — call upon God. Now, the Bible says that we are to "resist the devil, and he will flee" from us (James 4:7 KJV). But before that, God says, "Submit yourselves… to God." If you have fully submitted, 100 percent yielded and surrendered yourself to Christ, then you can "resist the devil," and the Bible promises he will flee from you. The devil will tremble when you pray. He will be defeated when you quote or read a passage of Scripture to him and will leave you when you resist him. Does the devil flee from you when you pray in Jesus' name? Excerpted with permission from Peace for Each Day by Billy Graham, copyright Billy Graham Literary Trust. * * * |

Don't forget we have an enemy! Rather than being afraid of him, we can put him in his proper place… subject to Christ Jesus. When we are submitted to Jesus, when He is our all in all, when we pray in His name, the devil will battle us, yes, but he has to shrink away. Come share your thoughts on defeating the enemy in prayer. We want to hear from you! |

| Who's In Charge of a World That Suffers?: Trusting God in Difficult Circumstances |
by Billy and Franklin Graham |
Why is suffering the common lot of all people everywhere--believers and non-believers alike--and why does it seem that the world is out of control when it comes to the problem of pain and suffering? Who's in Charge of a World that Suffers? includes an informative and inspirational new introduction by Franklin Graham that speaks to today's reader in the midst of painful circumstances. |

| by Franklin Graham & Donna Lee Toney |
While most people knew Billy Graham as America's pastor, Franklin Graham knew him in a different way, as a dad. And while present and future generations will come to their own conclusions about Billy Graham and the legacy that his commitment to Christ has left behind, no one can speak more insightfully or authoritatively on that subject than a son who grew up in the shadow of his father's life and the examples of his father's love. |
