humility, spiritual warfare

Grace & Humility is the Path to Power - when facing the enemy.
"So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 (NLT)

When I see a prefix like "so" at the start of an important message, I want to know the context. Here the main context is from verse 5 in James 4, but I will start from verse 6:
6) 'And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 7) So humble yourselves...'

This makes it clear that when we humble ourselves, God releases His grace and this power overcomes the evil one.
