we live our lives according to <strong>the</strong> ways of<br />

this present evil age, we are serving <strong>the</strong><br />

powers of evil.<br />

You adulteresses, do you not<br />

know that friendship with <strong>the</strong><br />

world is hostility toward God?<br />

Therefore whoever wishes to be a<br />

friend of <strong>the</strong> world makes himself<br />

an enemy of God.<br />

Or do you think that <strong>the</strong> Scripture<br />

speaks to no purpose: “He<br />

jealously desires <strong>the</strong> <strong>Spirit</strong> which<br />

He has made to dwell in us”?<br />

But He gives a greater grace.<br />

Therefore it says, “GOD IS<br />

OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT<br />

GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.”<br />

Submit <strong>the</strong>refore to God. Resist<br />

<strong>the</strong> devil and he will flee from you.<br />

Draw near to God and He will<br />

draw near to you. Cleanse your<br />

hands, you sinners; and purify<br />

your hearts, you double-minded<br />

(James 4:4-8).<br />

There can be no compromise. If we<br />

are yoked to <strong>the</strong> world, we are serving <strong>the</strong><br />

world. If we are yoked to <strong>the</strong> Lord, we will<br />

serve Him only. As we proceed to <strong>the</strong> end of<br />

this age, <strong>the</strong> differences are going to become<br />

more pronounced and <strong>the</strong> battle between<br />

<strong>the</strong> two kingdoms more fierce. All of this is<br />

happening for <strong>the</strong> purpose of setting us free!<br />
