For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. {17} For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. - JAMES 4:7
JESUS, YOU ARE My ONLY LOVE!!!!!!
Let's face it, when we came to CHRIST JESUS, we came with so much baggage from our sinful past, that ONLY our TRUE HUSBAND, JESUS CHRIST {ISAIAH 54:5} COULD SO LOVINGLY DEAL with, and alleviate our former troubles and sorrows from our sin-laden midst. Thanks be to GOD ALMIGHTY WHO ALWAYS CAUSETH us to triumph in CHRIST JESUS!!!!!!
In today's FOUNDATIONAL HOLY BIBLE SCRIPTURE, we see ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST COMMANDING us to submit to HIM, resist the devil and he will flee {JAMES 4:7}. A lot of times we hear it said that we ought to resists the devil, and this is ofcourse true. However, we must do the first step of this POWERFUL SCRIPTURE TEXT, and that is to "submit ourselves to God." When we submit to CHRIST JESUS, HE Will Ensure that we have all we need to resist the devil, making him flee.
At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. {14} But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?”
{15} “Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.
{16} As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened,d and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him. {17} And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!” - SAINT MATTHEW 3:13-17
Someone may say, "Well, how do we resist him?" I believe the best WAY to resist the devil, is to remind him that we know who we are in CHRIST JESUS, by our continually speaking out loud THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST, Our BELOVED LORD AND GOD, THE HOLY BIBLE! When Our ALMIGHTY JESUS was tempted in the wilderness, shortly afetr HIS BAPTISM BY John the Baptist {SAINT MATTHEW 3:13-17}, HE ALWAYS SPOKE WHAT HE HAD WRITTEN IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. Yes, JESUS USED HIS OWN WORD TO FIGHT AGAINST the devil's temptations, by HIS QUOTING SCRIPTURE THREE TIMES, and finally when the devil saw he could not prevail he fled {SAINT LUKE 4:1-13}.This my friend, is something that we need to remember when we are tempted today, that when we resist the devil by our Quoting THE WORD OF GOD, as well as by fleeing from sin {GENESIS 39:11-12, 1 CORINTHIANS 6:18}, we would put the devil on notice that we KNOW who we are; children of THE MOST HIGH GOD, Followers of Our LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST,and VCTORIOUS OVERCOMERS, because of THE GREAT VICTORY KING JESUS WROUGHT For us at CALVARY'S CROSS, AND IN HIS SUBSEQUENT THIRD DAY RESURRECTION {SAINT MATTHEW 28}!!!!!!! Now my friend, THAT IS THE GOSPEL!!!!!!! That is indeed GOOD NEWS!!!!!!! AMEN! Thank YOU, HOLY GHOST! "Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}" "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. {REVELATION 22:21}"
