James 4:6–10 (NIV): “But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”
We usually stay with submit to God, resist the devil. But here are the steps that we progress through in order to be in that place, that space of humility to God.
And we do it because we must move away from any negativity within, which causes conflicts within and out. Go back to verse one to read the why we must do the 7-10. We shift, and allow Holy Spirit to guide. Try it and keep in trying it. enough for now.
