“Most of our defeats, I think, are due to the fact that we parley with sin, we attempt to fight it. Now there is a sense in which we have to do that…. There are times in our experience when, for reasons often beyond our own control, unless we run to Christ and hide in Him we are certain to be defeated. But thank God, the possibility that is held up before us is that we can go to Him directly, immediately and look to Him. That is what I might call ‘the great strategy of faith.’…. When the fight is yet strong and the enemy is there and we feel we are on the point of falling, we must simply cry, ‘Jesus’ and believe and know that He is looking on and that He is there and is ready to deliver us and protect us.”
D.M. Lloyd-Jones
