A message for Christians
One of the great promises in the Bible is James 4:7 - "Resist the devil and he will flee from you."
Isn't that a great promise? It's wonderful to know that as God's children we can stand up to the devil! He will depart from us. He is so much stronger than us, yet we can successfully resist him because of who we are in Christ.
But there's a problem.
I haven't quoted the entire verse. The promise, in it's context, is: "..God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble. Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." (James 4:6-7)
The question is, if we are not submitting to God, will the devil flee from us when we resist him?
If a Christian is saying "No" to God in an area of their life..
If a Christian is heading in a direction God has told them not to go in..
If a Christian has stiffened their neck and is disobeying the Word of God..
If a Christian is refusing to do something God has told them to do..
WILL THE PROMISE WORK?
What do you think?
