Resist the Devil and he will flee for his life

Resist the Devil and he will flee for his life is a verse that is rarely translated with the power and authority that Jacob put there.

Jacob 4:7. Therefore if you would be subject to God, you should resist the devil and he will flee for his life from you, 8. draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

If you would humble yourselves before the Lord, then He will lift you up.
