I want to address one of the most popular Christianese sayings, “Resist the devil and he will flee!” What Christianese is, are phrases, terms, sayings and the quoting of scriptures by Christians without the real substance of application to our lives.Most of us quote and even subscribe to this scripture, “resist the devil and he will flee”, James 4:7.  Yet, in my 30+ years of walking with the Lord, I find that James 4:7 is more Christianese, and is rarely, if at all, effective in most Christians lives.
