James 1:2-7 Testing of Faith-How are you going to get through what you are going through?

Your are either in or not in.  Know how to stand. Don’t go by what you feel.  Sickness is NOT of God. You can do things to bring on sickness yourself. Afflictions come. Faith has trials. Will you serve Him?  Will you love Him?

Get to know Him. 

James half brother of Jesus.  In Christ, Jesus is our elder brother.  If you lack wisdom, ask God. God wants to bless you. Get from God. Stand in faith no matter what. Surrender your will to God. There are gradual healings and there are miracles.  Stand firm in God. When you give it, release it. WAIT ON THE LORD. He will renew your strength.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Be on guard, stand firm in faith. Watchful-Stand fast. How do you stand firm in faith during difficulty?

1) Trust-God is in control- He is more than able to take care of you in every circumstance.

2)Remain in the Word-Jesus said If you remain in my Word-When the Word says it, never doubt it.

3) Do not give up-He is more than able. Do not doubt God’s presence in your life. He cares.

John16:33 In this world, you will have trials and tribulations, BUT… fear not, I have overcome the world.

You have what you say.  Being a child of God does not make you immune to challenges, suffering and seasons of difficulty. (He had to endure pain.)

How to walk by faith every day:

1) Start your day in prayer, and end your day in prayer.  1Thes 5:16-18

2) Know what is and isn’t important,

3) Place spiritual boundaries in your life, 1 Tim 4:16

4) Read and meditate on Scripture, Rom 19:17

5) Remember you are an ambassador of Christ.

1 Thes 5:16-18 Growing in Faith Day & Night

1 Cor 15:33 Do not be deceived. 

Remember you are an Ambassador of Christ.

Matt 5:13

Rom 13:13
