James 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Because our God is so incredibly mighty, we tend to look for and expect that everything He does will be a massive show of signs and wonders.
You know; smoke, earthquakes, thunder and lightning, etc.
Because of this, we tend to overlook the simplistic ways that He does most things because they’re just too, you know, simple.
And so it is with temptation.
We have somehow come to believe that in order to fight temptation we need to have some secret formula of special prayers, the laying on of hands and the casting out of demons in order to be able to fight off temptation when it comes.
On the contrary, God tells us that we need to resist the devil and he will flee from us.
Now that doesn’t sound very complicated, does it?
Nope!
Maybe it’s time that we stop overcomplicating so many things and just take God at His word, even if it’s very simple and direct, with no bells, whistles, flashing lights or miraculous signs attached.
Being tempted? Resist.
Legitimately, sincerely resist, and watch the devil run.
God’s word is true!.
