Submit To God

Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7

Submitting to God is to submit (assign yourself to a right position) to His rule, power and authority in your life. When trouble comes, when testing and temptation comes, submit to the things that produce righteousness, joy and peace. It is also what Jesus said "seeking the kingdom of heaven first." If you submit to cussing and screaming first, then you are submitting to the kingdom of darkness and you begin to lose your joy and your peace. But if you'll stand on the promises and word of God like Jesus did in Luke 4, the devil will flee, or run away from you every time. You are over-coming the tests and temptations by submitting to God, and by resisting the devil you are keeping yourself from falling into his traps. If you don't submit to God, then you will fall prey to the devil and you'll begin to be frustrated and aggravated, depressed, worried, fearful, angry and full of turmoil. How do you submit to God? You begin to speak life into the circumstances. One example would be "I have the mind of Christ! I can hear the voice of God and His wisdom is guiding me in this situation. I have the peace of God and His peace is ruling over this situation." If you'll make this a practice in your life every day, it won't mean that trouble won't come. However, instead of being under the gun and behind the eight ball, you'll learn to rise above and live the life of an over-comer that God wants you to be!

Have A Blessed day
