Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you - James 4:7.
Submit to God
We cannot resist the devil unless we repent and submit ourselves to God. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of
God, that He may exalt you in due time - 1 Peter 5:6. Draw near to God, and he
will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts,
you double-minded - James 4:8.
Resist the devil
Let us put on the whole armor of
God and resist the devil as we do not war against the flesh. For though we walk
in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For though we walk in the
flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. - 2 Corinthians 10:3. For we do
not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts
of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to
stand - Ephesians 6:12,13. The Word of God helps us to resist the devil. And
take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God - Ephesians 6:17.
The devil will flee from
you
The enemies will flee before us in seven ways. The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways - Deuteronomy 28:7. No weapon formed against you shall prosper - Isaiah 54:17. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil - Ephesians 6:10,11.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to draw near to You. We
submit ourselves into Your hands and resist the devil. In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
