James 4:6-7

But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:6-7 NIV

Lets do a quick break down of this verse. The ‘then’ in verse 7 connects the humility talked about in verse 6 with submitting to God and His plan for our lives. Pride is thinking we can do everything in our own strength or according to our own plan. The humble receive grace (special favour and strength for whatever challenges they’re facing.) In that place of submission to God, we have the power to resist every attack of the enemy. Conversely if there are areas of our lives not submitted to God, those are the areas Satan has a right to exploit.

In summary then the humble, who submit themselves to God, receive grace and have the power to resist the devil. Notice also the power we have as Christians. The least saint can send the devil scampering. We just need to start believing in the power that God says we have.
