What is the first step listed for victory in spiritual warfare?

• A. Humble yourself before God to receive His Grace.
• B. Resist the devil and he will flee.
• C. Pray for miracles
• D. Submit to God.

Answer: (A)

The starting posture for victory in spiritual warfare is humility before God, because true victory comes through God’s enabling grace that is given to the humble. Scripture makes this connection clear: God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. When you humble yourself, you acknowledge your dependence on Him, which opens the doorway to His grace and power at work in you. That grace then equips you to submit to God properly and, from that surrendered position, resist the devil with confidence, and he will flee.

So, while submission to God and resisting the devil are essential steps in the process, humility is the foundational stance that makes grace available and sets the stage for all that follows. Praying for miracles, while not wrong in itself, does not establish the posture or source of power the way humble reliance on God does.
