The Value Of Testing In The Development Of Faith
James 1 – Session 3
October 19, 2025

Review:
Tests, trials, temptations: only know the true value of something when (and after) it is tested!
True patience is a strong force of the Holy Spirit, that bears a strong inner witness that grants a confidence that God is at work in every circumstance and that He will sustain you and therefore, you will see His victory! 
“Let”, Allow patience …. Can’t “work it up”.  Patience is deposited in your reborn spirit.  It must be accessed by faith and developed through obedience. (Galatians 5:22; 1 Corinthians 13:4)
Godly patience involves persistent waiting (on relief, results desired), but it is undergirded with confident expectation that the Lord is “at hand” and is “at work”!  (Philippians 4:5; Philippians 2:13)


James 1:9 – “Glory in high position (A few examples!)
Child of the Most High God (John 1:12)
Heir of God, joint-heir with Christ (Romans 8:16, 17)
Forgiven, made Holy, Righteous, Accepted, Beloved in Christ (Ephesians 1:3-7)
Granted every spiritual blessing in Christ (Ephesians 1:3-7)
Guaranteed eternal life (John 3:16)
Given Grace in God’s eyes and Favor for life’s journey (Ephesians 2:8,9)
Granted unconditional love (1 John 4:16-18)
Guaranteed victory over death and every enemy (Romans 8:31-37)
Granted an Intercessor in Heaven (Romans 8:34)

James 1:10-11
“The rich …. “Humiliation” what it does NOT mean (See Timothy 6:17,18)
Humble self: Recognize True Security, Identity (tool not source)

James 1:12
The Blessing of enduring temptation
The “Crown” implies that one has come through intense tests, trials, temptations

James 1:13-15

Three Powerful Self-Tests When Things Are Out Of Order
August 11, 2019
Relationships: Session 7

My Motives:  (James 3:16)  What am I wanting; why am I thinking, planning, acting like this?
Am I seeking FIRST His life, desires, way of doing things? Or am I staying in the Manager’s seat?  Nothing is truly Blessed/Used of God until it is released!
Self-centered motives block our prayer from being answered.  (James 4:2, 3)
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal my motives.  Be quick to confess and ask for His perspective.  He desires us to receive His motives and walk in His love!
  See Philippians 2:5-8:  Humbling myself is pleasing to the Father …. AND leads to exaltation!  (1 Peter 5:5, 6)

My Mind:	Is it the TRUTH?
The Spirit of Truth …. John 14:16, 17
Word of Truth …. John 8:31, 32
Our mind is the Gate to our spirit which is the spiritual center of our being.  (Where the Holy Spirit lives in the believer.) The Holy Spirit bears witness of the TRUTH.  Our senses, our brains, process information in our minds.  Our emotions and our wills respond.  [Which witness is dominant?]
To successfully walk in the Truth, we must cooperate with the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Truth) who is bearing witness in our inner man of the Truth (which yields Freedom …. John 8:32).
We are the gatekeepers.  We decide what information to trust and act on!
Ask the Lord for favor/order.  Resolve to stay resolved if necessary.
1 Corinthians 2:16; Romans 8:5

My Mouth:
Designed by God to work in line with the Heart (spirit).  (See Romans 10:9, 10)
What is my verbal Filter?
“Let the words of my mouth” (Psalm 19:14)
“Let no corrupt word” (Ephesians 4:29)
What I say makes a huge difference!  (Proverbs 18:21; Matthew 12:34-37); Joshua 1:8, 9; Mark 11:22-24)

Nothing Else

I/You/We = Soldiers:   We are in a war; our unseen enemy must be resisted!    (James 4:6-8)
There are agendas for our demise!!  (John 10:10; 1 Peter 5:8,9)


The enemy’s activities/methods
John 8:44: Lies; deception
Distraction, Entanglement:  Mark 4:15; 2 Timothy 2:4
Can’t be soldier and civilian also.  We serve at the pleasure of our Commander.
All out Assault:  1 Peter 5:8, 9


What should I do to Respond?
Ask for revelation on where I am vulnerable (1 Peter 5; 8,9; James 4:6-8) and repent!
Arm Yourself (Ephesians 6:10-18; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6)
Stay Alert and Aligned:  Worship; Word Connection
