Review:  Responding to tests, trials, temptations: A key to our successful development!

James 1:6-8 – Faith: Essential For Relationship with God and all that flows from Him!  (Hebrews 11:6)
Faith’s Origin: “Hearing His Word” (Romans 10:17); His Gift deposited in you (Ephesians 2:8,9); All receive “a measure” (Romans 12:3)
Satan’s agenda: Stop the Word process (Mark 4:15)
The poison of unbelief: torment, instability
To believe, or to doubt, is a choice! (The difference in mind and heart) (See Mark 11:23)

✸Get your mind, heart lined up!  What are you saying (2 Corinthians 4:13)

Attacking Doubt
Reinforce what you Do Know
Talk back!  Speak to the poisonous doubt!  (Proverbs 18:21; Joshua 1:8)
Refresh your spirit with worship and prayer!
Engage prayer covering, support in the battle!



James 1:9
Lowly: Without worldly position, proud, no monetary wealth, etc.
Exaltation: Relationship with King, family of God, Citizen of Heaven, inheritance of every spiritual blessing.

James 1:10
The rich, in this book, refers to those whose identity and security is in their possessions and positions.  They are arrogant and oppress those without the trappings of wealth. 

✸The Lord will be Gracious and help us in our journey (Mark 9:24)
