Interpretation of the Bible / James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
The first thing we must do is submit to God. This means that we must submit to Him, be willing to listen to Him, and obey Him. We must be sensitive and broken, not proud and stubborn.
Then we must resist the devil. We resist by closing our ears and hearts to his overtures and temptations. We resist by using the Holy Scriptures as the sword of the Spirit to repel his attacks. If we resist, he will flee from us.
