BE DILIGENT IN YOUR STANCE FOR GOD, FOR THE DEVIL ROARS LIKE A LION TO CONFUSION YOU AND STOP THE PRINCIPALS, PURPOSES, AND PROMISES OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE!

SUBMIT yourselves therefore to GOD.

RESIST the devil, and he will flee from you!

DRAW NEAR to GOD, and

HE will draw near to you.

CLEANSE your hands, ye sinners; and

HUMBLE yourselves in the sight of the LORD, and

HE SHALL lift you up!

THERE IS ONE LAWGIVER, Who is able

to save and to destroy!

JAMES 4:7-10, 12

One way to SUBMIT yourself to the LORD is to daily read your bible, learn His Word and commandments to OBEY them, and be pleasing in the LORD'S sight. Learn to have GOD'S values of righteousness, goodness, purity, and love in your life, not just when you need them, but ALL the time! Be conformed to the image of Christ Jesus, and live your life for HIM! Then you will have HIS values and HIS PRESENCE when you need Him during a problem or temptation.

RESIST the devil by keeping every thought and imagination under the control of the Holy Spirit in you. As you stand your ground and contend for your faith, the devil will flee from you (and leave you for a season). For your faith to be active, it must be extended in belief daily to GOD. Then the devil will flee from you, and GOD will make a way where there has seemed to be no way to bring you the Victory in your situation. LIVE IN FAITH!

CLEANSE your hands, ye sinners. This is in the sense that any thought that is not of GOD is of doubt. For the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to understand and accept GOD'S thoughts are full of mercy and good fruits of righteousness, which when sown in peace, brings peace into your life.

PURIFY your hearts, ye doubled minded (those who want to believe, but can't stand on the Word continually, but are swayed by doubt and every wind of bad circumstances.) A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways and will not receive anything of the LORD, for GOD only works through love, which works by FAITH.

HUMBLE yourself by being obedient to the Word of GOD that you do know, and continually try to improve your knowledge of Jesus and the Word. Humble doesn't mean "letting someone walk on you" in a religious way, but "humble" is to be a strong, stalwart representative of the LOVE that GOD has bestowed upon you, as His child. Children of GOD are to be victorious in their lives, through following the instructions of the WORD (Bible) and following Jesus, the LORD of HOSTS of the Armies of Heaven, by having an intimate fellowship with HIM. JESUS is the HEAD of the body, which is the Church. The Head always gives the commands to the body to do (obey).

THERE IS ONE LAWGIVER, Who is able to save or to destroy! BLESSED is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the Crown of Life, which the LORD has promised to them that LOVE HIM! You can let temptation overtake you and destroy you, or you can allow the LORD to build your character and choose HIM in all things during temptation, and learn to trust in the LORD to bring you through to victory (on the other side of the temptation.)

BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER.

BE GOD'S REPRESENTATIVE OF LOVE!

Lay aside all filthiness and wicked thinking; RECEIVE with meekness the engrafted word--the Word of Truth inborn and implanted in the soul, which is able to save, and by which the child of GOD is begotten of GOD (James 1:18; Eph. 5:26).

The Word is called SEED (1st Peter 1:23; 1st John 3:9). That seed of truth and instruction in righteousness is able to save your souls unto eternity. When the Truth is implanted in the soul, it germinates and springs forth into eternal life...unto everlasting. Only the seed that fail to be sown on properly prepared soil, and cared for, will fail to bring forth fruit pleasing to the LORD

SERVE THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY with ALL YOUR HEART, SOUL, and MIND!

"HUMBLE YOURSELVES IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD,

AND HE SHALL LIFT YOU UP."

(out of the pit of problems that you find yourself in)

JAMES 4:10

JESUS IS LORD AND KING OF ALL

THE UNIVERSE.

KNOW HIM,

WHILE IT IS STILL CALLED TODAY!
