Resisting the "demons"

This is what the Lord, the Hebrews’ God, says: How long will you refuse to respect me? ~ Exodus 10:3 (CEB)

Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will run away from you. ~ James 4:7 (CEB)

KEY IDEA:
The key to success is to respect God and live under his instruction.
PRAYER:
God, I feel powerless over the "demons'' which have so much influence over the way I think and act. I feel like I need to chase them away before I can turn to you. But I now understand that things work the opposite way -- that as I submit to you the demons will flee. Help me to keep my focus on you. I am expecting that the resistance will be successful in Jesus' name. Amen.
