| The Weapons of Faith By Billy Graham “This is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.” —1 John 5:4, RSV One of Satan’s sly devices is to divert our minds from the help God offers us in our struggles against evil, telling us we have to fight the battle alone. But God knows we need His help. The Bible warns, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). What would you do if you met a lion? You’d probably run, and you’d probably grab any weapon you could to fend it off if it attacked. And that is true in our struggles against evil. When evil and temptation stalk us, our first response should be to flee. And when they still attack, we should use every weapon we have to drive them away. The good news is this: God has provided the weapons! His Word, His angels, His Spirit, the encouragement and prayers of our brothers and sisters in Christ—these and more are “weapons” God provides. We aren’t in this battle alone—so why act like it?  Hope for TodayJesus spent time with His Father frequently during His earthly ministry. This dedication to prayer gave Him the strength He would need to endure temptation, betrayal, and physical suffering. Believers would be wise to follow His example. | ||
