### 🎙️ Open Heaven Podcast – Day 97 
**Title:** *He Gives More Grace: The Humble Path to Overcoming*

**Scripture Focus:** James 4:4-10  “But He gives more grace. That is why Scripture says: ‘God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.’” (James 4:6, NIV)

### 🔥 Episode Summary:

In today’s episode, we uncover a powerful and sobering truth from James 4: **God is deeply jealous for our hearts.** When we, as His people, flirt with the world and give our affections to the things He saved us from, we grieve His Spirit. But the message doesn’t end with conviction—it moves us toward hope:

**He gives MORE grace.** 
Grace to come back. 
Grace to resist the enemy. 
Grace to stay faithful. 
Grace to overcome.

But here’s the key: **this grace begins with humility.** As we humble ourselves before the Lord, surrendering our pride, preferences, and worldly pursuits, we open the door to receive the empowering grace needed to walk in victory over sin and the schemes of the enemy.

### 📖 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

- Why God is described as **“jealous”** over our love 
- How grace is not only unmerited favor—but **divine strength** to live free from sin 
- The connection between **humility and spiritual empowerment** 
- Why the enemy flees from those who **submit to God** 
- What it means to **draw near to God** and live from a place of grace-fueled intimacy

### 🙏 Practical Encouragement:

- Examine your heart for areas of spiritual compromise or divided affections 
- Ask God for the **“more grace”** promised in James 4:6 
- Practice daily **humility, submission, and surrender** 
- Declare: *“I resist the devil. I draw near to God. His grace is enough—and more.”*

🎧 **Listen, take notes, and invite the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where grace is ready to flow abundantly.**
