Draw the Line!
James 4:7 – “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
There are moments in life when we face decisions that demand a clear stand. The world pulls us in many directions, offering temptation, distraction, and compromise. In those moments, we are called to “draw the line.” To make a firm stand against sin, against worldly values that conflict with God’s Word, and against the forces that seek to weaken our faith. James 4:7 calls us to “submit ourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” This passage reveals a powerful truth: standing firm in our faith requires both submission to God and resistance to the devil. To draw the line means acknowledging where we need boundaries in our lives, where we say, “This far and no further.” It is about deciding not to allow the enemy any foothold, not giving him space to whisper lies, or to tempt us into compromising our values, our destinies and our lives.
Drawing the line is not just about avoiding obvious sin. It’s about cultivating a heart that chooses to follow God’s will in every area of life. It means recognizing when we are walking too close to the edge; too close to temptation, too close to compromise and saying, “No, I will stand firm in my faith.” Drawing the line is about creating a necessary gap for God to work in us, undistracted and unhindered.
This isn’t always easy. When we look at the case of Joseph who drew the line with Potiphar’s wife who wanted to sleep with him, he stood his ground and said in Genesis 39:9 …. I cannot “do such a wicked thing and sin against God”. It doesn’t stop there, for the enemy doesn’t give up without a fight, and sometimes, the temptation to give in or to conform is overwhelming. But we are not left alone in this battle, for the Bible reminds us that even though Joseph was imprisoned, “the Lord was with him……and granted him favour in the eyes of the prison warden” (Genesis 39:21). God gives us His Holy Spirit to empower us to resist and to walk in His strength. The key to drawing the line is remembering that victory is not in our own power but in God’s power, as seen when Joseph is redeemed and granted the role of being in charge of all of Egypt (Genesis 41:41).
As we submit ourselves to Him, we receive the grace to draw a clear line, whether in relationships, choices, or areas of personal weakness. With God’s guidance and help, we can draw the line firmly and confidently, trusting that God will provide the strength we need to hold it.
Today, ask yourself: Where do you need to draw the line? What areas of your life need a firm stand for God’s truth? Take a moment to submit those areas to God and ask Him to help you resist the devil and stand firm in your faith.

Drawing the line is standing firm for God’s truth even when others feel there is nothing wrong with it, if it negates the principles of God, we must stand against it. Not just when it is easy to do so.

Thank you Pastor
Drawing a line to submit fully to Gods word and principals is not easy. Worldly desires and weakness of the flesh can often blur what we know we need to do do.
We all know that circular music isnt what we should be listening too, but all friends are listening to it and going out to it, which in turn leads to drunkeness and sometimes even worse. But it all started with a relatively small line we crossed.
We must all draw that line in the sand and make a stand for our salvation. Choose the Christ way of living. The lady who was bleeding for 12 years drew a line, she said that no matter what, i will get some of the anointing that is related to Jesus, thats why she touched His garment. Her faith was so strong, that Jesus Himself felt the anointing flow to her. She made a positive choice to have full faith in Jesus and her life changed forever.
Drawing a line isnt always about stopping the negative, but we can also use it to affirm the positive.
I pray that i am able to draw the line, whether to stop negative things or ensure the positive, a line must be drawn in Jesus name.
