"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." (James 4:7)
In the New Testament book of James (half-brother of Jesus), he gives believers the "two-step" of spiritual warfare:
Step 1: Submit to God.
Step 2: Resist the devil.
Let's ask ourselves: how is my relationship with God? Before we say, "fine!" Let's consider submission to God in light of verse 4: "You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God."
Yikes! So, beloved, who's your dance partner? The World or Jesus?
