Jas 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist
the devil, and he will flee from you.
When you submit
yourself to someone, what are you doing?
Submit- accept or
yield to a superior force or to the authority or will of another person.
synonyms: give
in/way, yield, back down, cave in, capitulate (Dictionary Def Google)
You are accepting,
you are yielding to a SUPERIOR FORCE, a SUPERIOR AUTHORITY, the WILL of
ANOTHER.
Do you yield
yourself to God?
Do you recognize God
as a Superior Force?
Do you recognize God
as a Superior Authority?
Do you yield to the
WILL of God?
We have to ACCEPT
God's will.
We have to truly
understand that GOD is our AUTHORITY. God is the one we answer to and NO other.
We don't even answer to ourselves first, but GOD first!
When we truly accept
God's will, when we truly recognize God's authority in our lives we must listen
to Him, we must RESIST the DEVIL! The
devil will FLEE from us when we RESIST him!
Safe in our submission to God we resist the devil. Without that
submission to God all our resisting in the world would do nothing. Only in that connection we have with God do
we have hope! The devil FEARS GOD, the devil FLEES by God's command. The devil
does not fear us at all when we are separated from God!
1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1Pe 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing
that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the
world.
1Pe 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us
unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while,
make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
TRUTH!
We resist the devil
in our FAITH to GOD.
Please, Father
please help us to be fully submitted to YOU, fully submitted so that we may
resist the devil and he will flee!
All by YOUR LOVE,
through our Savior, Jesus Christ our Lord!
Amen.
