Just about everybody who has been in church for longer then a month has probably heard James 4:7 quoted. It says to submit ourselves unto God, and to resist the devil, and he will flee from us. Well it's been my experience that submitting to God and resisting the devil is a lot harder then it sounds at times. It's so easy to get caught up in the routine of daily life and not even notice the sin that creeps in. I believe that's why we need to keep ourselves covered in the word and prayer. Look at it like this, when you get used to something being a certain way and then all the sudden something is different you can't help but notice that something is out of place. It's kinda like when you always leave your TV shut off when you leave the house and then you come home and you find the TV on. It makes you feel eerie inside because you know you always leave it a certain way and now something just isn't right. Well that's how it needs to be with sin in our lives. If we will constantly submerge ourselves into the word of God and prayer we will begin to know when something is out of place in our lives. If we will submit to God it will be easier to resist the devil.
Just a thought: Sin done in ignorance is still sin.
