The speaker teaches that resisting temptation requires two things: submit wholly to God and lay aside every weight and sin that entangles you. Only Jesus and the Holy Spirit can keep you from falling. The devil will flee when you do both.
Chapters
You have a very real adversary who is seeking to steal, kill, and destroy you. And so the Bible says that if we submit ourselves to God, we can resist the devil and he will do what? Flee. On top of that, we lay aside every heavy weight and the sin that so easily entangles us so that we may resist the devil and he will flee. So there's a 2-part thing we have to do. We have to submit and we have to lay aside the weight and the sin that so easily entangles us. So if I want to be free from the temptation, I want to resist the devil, then I have to submit myself to God. That looks like whatever my mind is on that are not on the things of God, it needs to now shift to God. Now unto him who is able to keep me from falling, because I can't keep myself from falling into temptation. Only Jesus can. Only the Holy Ghost can. Okay, just so we understand, submit yourself to God and resist the devil. I love that.
