James 4: 7,8

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 purify your hearts, ye double-minded.

GOD OPPOSES PRIDE

James 4: 7and8 have some key words that, when followed, lead to personal and corporate revival. Those words are: Submit to GOD, Resist the devil, Draw near to GOD, Cleanse your hands and Purify your hearts.

Submit to GOD means to yield to His direction and guidance. It takes Love of GOD and trust in His ways in order to submit to His direction. Our work is to humble ourselves, empty self of pride and yield to His authority.Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. In every case, resist those things which are not from the Good Shepherd. Know the voice of GOD through communion with Him and then resist the devil's whispers. Draw near to GOD, through the study of Holy Scripture and prayer, resting in the LORD and trusting in His word. Cleanse your hands, the work of your hands be clean; Purify your hearts, by confession of faults and receiving forgiveness immediately. 

Do not be double-minded, but keep your mind single on the LORD, resisting the proud imaginations of the heart. Trust in the LORD with ALL your heart. The LORD is near and will always guide you and your community into truth, if you submit to Him and follow His ways.

SUBMIT, RESIST, DRAW NEAR, CLEANSE AND PURIFY; YIELD AND FOLLOW GOD.
