I apologize for any misunderstanding, Nan. Here is what Billy Graham had to say about WHO is the strongest! (WHO will win - in the long run:)
Billy Graham’s My Answer
Who is stronger, Satan or God? I know you’ll probably say that God is stronger, but sometimes I wonder. After all, the world is filled with so much evil that it looks to me like Satan is winning most of the time, doesn’t it? — Mrs. L.W.
Don’t ever doubt that God is far, far stronger than Satan. Satan’s power is limited; God’s power is limitless. Satan’s power is temporary; God’s power is eternal. Satan’s power is entirely evil; God’s power is entirely good.
Furthermore, Satan is part of the creation—but God is the Creator. In fact, the Bible repeatedly calls God the “Sovereign Lord”—because that is what He is. It says, “Sovereign Lord ... you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them” (Acts 4:24). Satan didn’t make the world; God did—and God is still in control of it, because He is sovereign.
Yes, Satan has a certain measure of power, and we often see his power at work today. How else can we explain some of the terrible things that happen? Never forget that Satan has one goal: to block God’s work wherever he can. To do this he will use every trick he can to deceive us and turn us away from Christ.
But someday Christ will return and destroy the devil’s work. Satan is a defeated foe! Until that day, make it your goal to follow Christ. The Bible says, “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Don’t become his next victim!

I must go prepare dinner - but will return - this is a very needed discussion - with all that this horrible administration is doing to our country today............
Billy Graham is a great man. Yorkie, no one knows what the Lord can do better than I do. I lived half my life without Jesus Christ and I know what despair and lost feels like. After several miracles occurred in my life, God audibly called me to “Feed my Sheep”, and would not give me rest until I answered that call (I was 52). I spent 6 1/2 years learning all I could about God’s Word. I learned Greek & Hebrew and how to study the Scriptures. I learned to trust my Lord in all things from the smallest to the largest. I have been faithful to feed His lambs for 18 years, and have led many of them to accept Christ as Lord and Savior.
It has never been easy to be a woman in the ministry. I even did not believe that women were allowed to be pastors, which is why it took me 4 years to answer the persistent call, during which time I thought God was calling my husband through me. Not so, said the Lord, it was me who was to GO. He put it to me in no uncertain terms. I guess I know how some of the women in the Bible felt when called to God’s purposes. Do I get discouraged sometimes? Yes I do. But I surely know the ending of the story. No matter how bad things get, God always wins, and will eventually give the devil his due.
This is more than I’ve ever said publicly about my call. I pray it doesn’t start an argument about women preachers. That is why I don’t mention my job. Everyone has their opinion and I honor that. Only I am the one who knows what happened in my life and how I was chosen. I answer only to God.
