22. The more I ask to be friends with the world, the more, I am at enmity with God.
(James 4:4) “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
God will pulverize my pride.
(James 4:6) “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.”
So what do I need to do to get back into His will?
a. Draw near to God/Submit to God.
b. Resist the devil.
c. Cleanse my hands of sin and purify my heart. Lament, mourn, weep over my sin and the hurt it has caused others (Sue) and me.
d. Humble myself in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift me up.
The world is depraved.
The world is corrupt.
The world has a spirit of lust.
The world is the exact opposite of The Divine Nature.
(II Peter 1:3-4) “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
(I John 4:4b) “…greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
