“SUBMIT YOURSELVES!”

 

James 4:7                 (ESV)

“”SUBMIT YOURSELVES” therefore to GOD. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

James 4:7.                (GOD’S WORD)

“So place yourselves under GOD's authority. Resist the devil, and he will run away from you.”

It is incomprehensible the PATH that ALMIGHTY GOD will traverse to get “the attention” of HIS CREATION.  GOD “placed” me into a seventeen day coma, altered my total and complete perspective, and ONLY then gave me LIFE again to permit me to SEE how HE can change a heart!  

GOD is GOD!  There is nothing more that can be said to magnify HIS OMNIPRESENCE and OMNIPOTENCE!  HE “placed” me into the coma because I had demonstrated that I was moving at a pace that was unsustainable for a human being.  

The KJV and the ESV seldom use the same translation for an entire verse of Scripture.  But according to my understanding, both translations use “the same words” for James 4:7.  

GOD “very lovingly” utilized a two and a half week “disconnect” to demonstrate to this humble servant that I was NOT IN CONTROL, and HE IS!!!  This is why I write that GOD placed me in the coma because HE used it , FOR HIS GLORY, to get me to SLOW DOWN and LIVE for HIM!!

“SUBMIT YOURSELVES” needs to be understood that HE IS IN CONTROL, not this poor, wretched person!  I am simply living a life that is for reflecting HIS MERCY and GRACE to me!  HE simply ALLOWED me to “SUBMIT YOURSELVES” to HIM and HE would take care of the rest!!!
