Philippians 4:19
As long as we are doing the work of the Lord God will always meet our needs. As long as we are pointing others to God, He will always see that you have plenty.
Do the work of the Lord share what you know from the bible and share your testimony of how you were healed or set free and God …

| Submit to God and Resist the Devil "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). The question is often asked, "How can I get the devil off of my case?" The Word of God tells us clearly how to get the devil to flee from us. If you want to see the devil's backside instead of his face, then listen to this simple formula in God's Word. We know that the Book of James was written to believers. As a born-again believer, you have benefits the world does not have. There are promises and formulas about life that when applied by the world, will not work. But when they are applied by the born-again believer, they work flawlessly. James 4:7 is an example of this principle. Here, James says submit to God and resist the devil and the devil will flee. But how do we submit to God? We submit to Him by submitting to His will. If you are in the military and you submit yourself to a superior officer, it means that you do everything the superior officer tells you to do. If he or she says to do fifty push-ups, you don't argue. You do fifty push-ups. If he or she says to march in the rain, you don't argue. You march in the rain. Submitting to God is the same principle. If God says don't lie, you do not lie. If God says speak His Word, then you speak His Word. If God says to tithe, you don't argue. You don't debate the subject. You just do it cheerfully and willingly. The second part of this formula is resist the devil. If you are on a diet, you might "hear" a piece of chocolate cake crying out to you and saying, "Eat me! Eat me!" You resist by not doing what the chocolate cake says to do! Once again, this is the same principle. To resist the devil means you do not listen to his plans and you do not obey his words. Quite simply James 4:7 says, obey God and give no place to the devil and he will go away. Of course, the devil is relentless and he never gives up. We see that when he tempted Jesus several times in the wilderness and finally "departed from Him for a season" (Luke 4:13 KJV). Continue submitting to God and continue resisting the devil (as Jesus did) and each time you will see him flee. | |
