Submit And Resist

"Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil and he will flee from you."  James 4:7.  This present land is a place of choice.  We must choose between God and the devil.  One cannot serve both.  As one submits to God, he is able to resist the devil.  God gives strength to resist the devil.  As one submits to God, he is endowed with power that can do anything.  There is no limit to what God is capable of performing.  The devil's power cannot cope with the power of God.  The devil does not have enough weapons in his arsenal to defeat God.  The devil roams the land looking for souls to deceive.  He must be resisted.  Did not our Lord resist him?  And did not the devil depart from him?  And so it is with us.  As we say no to the devil, the devil will flee, but he may return.  Victory in one battle does not ensure that the war is over.  The devil does not give up easily.  Be strong in God.  Seek strength from above.  Submit to the law and power of God, and do not serve the devil.  Hope, comfort, and peace come from God.  The devil only gives death.  Submit and resist.
