James 4:7 (KJV)
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
The Bible says that the way to resist the devil is to submit to God.
It’s no wonder that so many Christians experience terrible oppression by evil. (A devil cannot possess a Christian because the Holy Spirit already possesses him.) Nevertheless, there is a general movement among Christianity in America (assuming they are truly saved) toward liberality. The idea of Christianity today is that, since where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, then just about anything can pass for Christianity. The concept of submission has been, for the most part, set aside. To submit to God is considered legalism.
It’s one or the other. Submit to God, and the devil flees or live in license and be pestered by the devils.[1]
