Grace For You Today!
The Father’s Glory is His Favor, empowers to resist the devil !
The Father’s Favor draws you near to submit to Him, that you may learn to resist the devil.
Scripture Reading
“Therefore submit 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, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” James 4:7–8 NKJV
Key Insights
1. Favor First, Not Effort
• What we truly need is the Father’s Favor (Genesis 6:8).
• Without His Favor, no one can draw near to Him or live in true submission.
2. Drawing Near Is Internal Before External
• Drawing near to God begins as a mental and heart resolution, a decision to seek His Favor and not merely a physical act of devotion.
3. Favor Empowers Resistance
• When God’s Favor flows through His gift of righteousness in Christ, you are strengthened to resist the devil (Romans 5:21).
• Our ability to resist rests upon Christ’s obedience and submission to God even to death on the Cross (Philippians 2:8).
4. The Power of Resistance
• The Greek word anthístēmi (“resist”) means to forcefully declare one’s conviction.
• Unless you stand in God’s righteousness, resistance becomes weak. But the more you are convinced of Christ’s righteousness, the more the devil is convinced of his defeat and flees from you.
Takeaway for Today
Let the Father’s Favor be your portion and define you. Stand boldly in what Jesus has done for you and as you at Calvary. This positions you to receive showers of blessing. Amen 🙏
