FREEDOM IN SUBMITTING ?

I OFTEN SPEAK OF THE BATTLES AND STRUGGLES ASSOCIATED WITH LIVING A LIFE FOR CHRIST.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY GREAT SPIRITUAL INSIGHT, OR DEPTH, ALL WE NEED DO IS ANNOUNCE OUR INTENTIONS TO LIVE FOR CHRIST, AND WE WILL SOON DISCOVER THAT IT IS EASIER SAID THEN DONE.

I HAVE TAUGHT REPEATEDLY THAT WE ARE OUR OWN WORSE ENEMIES, WE NEED ALWAYS BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE SIN THAT SO EASILY BESETS US (PRIDE), AND THAT WE MUST LEARN GOD'S WORD IN ORDER TO NOT BE LOST FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.

THERE ARE OF COURSE OTHER REASONS I HAVE TAUGHT ON, THAT ARE THE CAUSE OF OUR SINS, BUT FOUNDATIONALLY YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THEY ALL HAVE ONE COMMON DENOMINATOR, THE ROOT OF ALL SIN, AND THAT IS PRIDE.

TODAYS LESSON WILL FOCUS ON ANOTHER PROBLEM OF OUR'S FOR SINNING, BUT IT ALSO IS TIED INTO THE ROOT COMMON DENOMINATOR OF PRIDE.

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

HERE WE ARE INSTRUCTED BY THE APOSTLE JAMES TO SUBMIT, IN ORDER FOR THE DEVIL TO FLEE FROM US.

THIS TELLS ME THAT MANY OF US ARE ALLOWING SATAN TO SIT DOWN AND BECOME COMFORTABLE WITH US, AND ACTUALLY STICK AROUND FOR AWHILE.

WE MAY AS WELL SEND HIM INVITATIONS TO COME AND ACCUSE US, TO LIE TO US, TO DISCOVER AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR OWN LUST, THEREBY CAUSING US TO SIN.

ALL OF THIS COMES ABOUT BECAUSE OF THE COMMON DENOMINATOR, PRIDE!

YOU SEE IT IS OUR PRIDE THAT REFUSES TO ALLOW US TO SUBMIT OURSELVES TO GOD, BECAUSE WE CAN HANDLE THIS, WE'RE SELF-SUFFICIENT, ETC....

ONCE AGAIN PRIDE IS GOING TO LAND US IN THE LAKE OF FIRE. WE MUST LEARN TO SUBMIT TO GOD, BECAUSE IN OUR SUBMITTAL SATAN FLEES FROM US.

WITH SATAN AWAY FROM US, THE TEMPTOR IS GONE. TEMPTATION WILL EXIST BUT WITHOUT THE TEMPTOR TO PUSH US TOWARDS OUR OWN LUST, WE WILL BE ABLE TO STAND.

IN BRIEF, WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT WE ARE OUR OWN WORSE ENEMIES, AND THAT IS DUE TO OUR FLESH, AND PRIDE.



2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: IF WE DON'T WANT SATAN HANGING AROUND US, THEN WE MUST SWALLOW OUR PRIDE, AND SUBMIT TO THE LORD, BY ACKNOWLEDGING HIM IN ALL OF OUR WAYS, AND LEANING TO HIM FOR UNDERSTANDING.

THOUGH THIS MAY APPEAR OXYMORONIC, OR PARADOXICAL AT FIRST GLANCE, THERE IS ACTUALLY FREEDOM, WHEN WE SUBMIT (TO GOD)!





I PRAY GOD'S PEACE N MERCY B UPON U AND URS !
