Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. - James 4:7
As believers, there will always be things in our lives that hold us back from fully submitting ourselves to God. God understands this, and we must understand that our God is a forgiving God. Although we are forgiven for our sins, that doesn't give us permission to fall into submission when we are tempted by the devil. We submit to God and resist the devil. The enemy is after us in so many different aspects of our lives, but it's our decision whether or not we will allow him to rejoice in our falters.
Many times we let idols, money, sex, lust, greed, envy, pride and so many other things of the world get in the way of our relationship with God. These are the little gods that we don't need in our lives - the enemy, the devil. These are the things that make us feel guilty once we're done letting them have their way with us. We need to let these things go...resist these things!
The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven. - Dueteronomy 28:7
Today, eyeInspire you to submit yourself to God and pray for the strength to resist the enemy. If we resist the devil, "The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you." - Deuteronomy 29:8
Spread Love. Live life. Be Inspired.
