“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7).

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. This is a promise, and God will keep it to us. If we resist the adversary, He will compel him to flee and will give us the victory. We can, at all times, fearlessly stand up in defiance, in resistance to the enemy, and claim the protection of our heavenly King just as a citizen would claim the protection of the government against an outrage or injustice on the part of violent men.

At the same time, we are not to stand on the adversary’s ground anywhere by any attitude or disobedience, or we give him a terrible power over us, which, while God will restrain in great mercy and kindness, He will not fully remove until we get fully on holy ground. Therefore, we must be armed with the breastplate of righteousness, as well as the shield of faith, if we would successfully resist the prince of darkness and the principalities in heavenly places.

All the foregoing will only happen if you are willing to submit yourself to God. That is the promise of the resistance. The only one thing God is asking us is to submit ourselves unto Him. In other words, get in His hiding place (https://mysticalorderinc.org/2019/08/22/the-hiding-place-4/) Many others have proven the safety of this hidden place by submitting to God and we can do the same today.
