Resist = Flee

James 4:7 tells us that if we resist the devil he will flee from us.

If God is promising us that all we have to do is oppose the enemy, he will run away from us, why does it seem like the devil is still around tormenting us?

Well, take a closer look at your mind and heart! Are you actually resisting him or are you allowing the devil to creep into your thoughts and actions? Don't complain about it if you know you're not actually RESISTING him.. because God says right there in black and white:

the devil MUST and WILL vanish from you IF you resist him!
