YES! We can stand and we can even overcome evil. God has given us two incredible weapons to do battle with evil. We have the Word of God and the power source of prayer.
When Paul says that we are to use the "sword of the Spirit which is the word of God," he is talking about a "rhema" from God. Jesus is the "logos" word of God, but a "rhema" is a specific word from God. We are blessed to have the counsel of the Old and the New Testaments and together they are full of godly wisdom. Better still, God gives us specific words "rhemas" from his word when we need them.
Are you listening to the Lord? Do you need a word, a rhema from him. Then pray. Don't pull out your Bible and randomly open it for a rhema. Read it. Listen to it and pray for God to speak. Hide the word in your heart so that God can give you his rhema when you need it.
Be bold in sharing the love of God with people around you. Pray for boldness and then listen when God gives you a rhema to share. Don't be surprised if God speaks to you and through you! Isn't prayer supposed to be a conversation? Shouldn't we expect God to speak to us.
"Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." Trust him to speak to you and through you. You can stand against evil because HE is with you.
