What does it mean to resist the Devil?


Spiritual Warfare and Victory in Submission to God

In James 4:7, we are given a powerful instruction: “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” This verse highlights two key components of spiritual victory—submission to God’s will and active resistance to evil forces. But what does it truly mean to “submit” to God, and how do we practically resist the devil in our daily lives? How have you seen spiritual resistance lead to victory in your own journey of faith?

Share your thoughts and experiences of resisting temptation and standing firm in God’s strength. What challenges have you faced, and how has submission to God been a key to overcoming those struggles?

Resisting depends on concentrating on good, and doing good. I actively avoid negative people since negativity can lessen spiritual zest.
