By Pastor Miguel Bustillos. Deliverance Minister and Exorcist Founder of the Children's Bread Deliverance Ministry For Deliverance or Exorcism: www.cbdmchurch.com Submitting to God: The First Step to Spiritual Empowerment ​Submission to God is not about losing our freedom; rather, it’s about finding true freedom in the embrace of divine guidance and protection. By submitting to God, we align ourselves with His will, His word, and His wisdom, laying a solid foundation for our spiritual journey. The Power of Prayer and Worship Prayer and worship are the languages of submission. Through them, we express our dependence on God, our trust in His sovereignty, and our commitment to follow His lead. They are the means by which we draw near to God, and in return, He draws near to us, providing us with the strength and protection we need. ​ Living According to God’s Word Submission to God also means living our lives according to His Word. The Bible is not just a book; it’s the living word of God, a guide for life that offers wisdom, direction, and comfort. By adhering to its teachings, we make ourselves resilient against the devil’s schemes. Resisting the Devil: The Act of Spiritual Defiance Resisting the devil is an active defense mechanism in our spiritual arsenal. It involves recognizing the devil’s temptations and refusing to give in to them. This section explores how to effectively resist the devil and ensure his departure from our lives. Recognizing the Devil’s Tactics The first step in resisting the devil is recognizing his tactics. He often uses deception, doubt, and temptation to derail us from our spiritual path. Being aware of these strategies helps us to stand firm in our faith and not be swayed by his lies. The Armor of God: Your Spiritual Defense Ephesians 6:10-18 describes the armor of God, a metaphorical representation of the spiritual defenses available to us. Each piece of the armor has a specific role in helping us stand against the devil’s schemes, ensuring we are not left vulnerable to his attacks. The Promise of Victory: He Will Flee From You The promise found in James 4:7, “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you,” is not just an assurance but a spiritual law. By submitting to God and resisting the devil, we activate a divine principle that guarantees the devil’s retreat. Testimonies of Triumph Countless testimonies bear witness to the effectiveness of this spiritual strategy. Individuals from diverse backgrounds share how submission to God and resistance against the devil brought significant breakthroughs and freedom in their lives. Nurturing Your Spiritual Strength The journey doesn’t end with a single victory. Maintaining spiritual strength requires continuous effort in prayer, studying the Word, and living in submission to God. This ongoing commitment ensures that we remain under God’s protection and guidance, ready to resist the devil whenever he attempts to return. ​ Submitting to God and resisting the devil is a powerful spiritual discipline that leads to freedom, peace, and victory in our lives. By understanding and applying these principles, we can navigate our spiritual journey with confidence, knowing that we are backed by the ultimate power of God. As we continue to walk in submission to Him and stand firm against the devil, we can rest assured that victory is not just possible; it’s promised.
