Tahira Nr I'm so glad you have come to Christ. You won't be sorry. He is the way the truth and the life. He loves you and welcomes you into his family. 😃❤❤❤
Michael Langley Testing means allowing us to go through hardships in life and tempting means allowing the enemy to bring up past sins to see if we’ll give in
I can relate to this. I had many trials and have been on both sides of the tracks. God taught me much. I have asked for wisdom so I have the right words to say when confronted with different things. I continue to learn all the time. God is awesome!!
Thank you I learned so many things and I am the wife of an Evangelist. No one has arrived. We all must receive with humility the word of God. Canada loves Jesus . Praying for you. Good solid doctrine. God Bless
Love this Verse by Verse video! I think it’s encouraging to know that our trials as believers are not in vain, but by persevering through them, we are actually being perfected. Thank you Jesus.
I have a lot of hard work on me to do. May the gentle Holy Spirit guide me, God forgive me, the Lord Jesus Christ love me and my guardian Angels not desperate on me. Thank You brother for your teachings. ❤⚘❤
I'm not so sure Satan can watch and taylor a temptation for every single believer. Scripture indicates that he is no omnipresent but has to "roam about" seeking someone to devour. There is plenty of temptations right in front of us all everyday. Satan and the evil in man's hearts have put temptations everywhere. Great vid Allen!
Thank you as I went through a trial today! Sat down to read my bible and it opened to James. I made a mountain out of a mole hill and you sir cleared it all up! God bless you!
Super helpful I sometimes have hard time finding people who are truly teaching what the Bible says and not some other agenda. This was very informative and helped me dig deeper in James!
@@somedude8054 They should have never said what they did in Jesus name as a means to enter heaven because that's based upon works not grace, no wonder Jesus said I never knew you. They were trying to justify there entrance in heaven based off there accimplushments. Its by grace they were saved. A real believer or someone who knew God or the gospel they wouldn't have responded that way. #context
@@paulcarlo3307 that is true, and I agree. But as a Christian, I feel like you should never get lazy. So I understand where some Christians get sad when they feel they disappoint God. Obviously, you never disappoint God, He loves you. But for ALL Christians, helping people and doing good works should be from the Heart(because you're a Christian, you should feel good for helping and all that), not because you think it'll help your way to Heaven. I agree with you.
Thank you for this video Allen! God put it on my heart or memorize the whole book of James verse by verse by the end of 2019, so I am marinating in it and studying the material of it and meaning of it while getting started. Your explanation/analogy on temptation is one of the best I’ve ever heard! Thank you!
Keep doing a good job. Your way of teaching is perfect for my ADHD 12 year old teenager, short and clear. His heart is not yet serious about God, also is still interested in his own needs and also does not want to go to church, so I don't force him. Every day I have hope and ask God for help. My main focus is not to force him in loving God but to simply ask him to hear what the bible says and let him decide what direction to go in life. I know the way to heaven you have to be sincere about your belief in God. I appreciate all that you do.
Eagle Family your free will comes in the choice you make whether it is to serve Jesus Christ or to serve the world and with all the choices we make, consequence
You were free will would come into play in the choices that you make will you choose by your own volition to serve the Lord Jesus Christ to give your life to him or will you chose to serve the world with every choice we make comes the consequence associated with that choice it's not rocket science
Great message Allen! Food for the soul and mind. The way you have broken down your three points will make it more understanding and provide a deeper meaning. Now, I am going to go back and re-read using your three points as a guide. Thanks again!...Tamela
I just love this one Allen.......I myself really believe this is a solid book on basic Christian foundations. I believe we can also learn about patience & controlling our tongue from the Book of James. I struggle with patience especially with others.......I've worked extensively on controlling my tongue but now struggle with controlling the thought even when I don't express them verbally🙈
Allen once again a great video with a great message. I feel the need to express my appreciation toward you and your messages. They continue to help me on my work towards being a better Christian. Thank you so much and God bless you and your wife and child during this Christmas season
Brother in Christ this was just like thrown to me right now because I went outside and I asked Jesus to put words in my mouth to explain to my son's girlfriend they were having some kind of problems she loves money a lot she says that Jesus gave her her job to be successful and be her own boss but I tell her you cannot love money more than you do Jesus I have Jesus please don't let me just open my mouth I have to know the right words to explain to her I've been following you for a long time and I told her that God loves her but he can also spit her out because you can't love this world and money she lives with my son they've been together for 2 years she helps my son with his two children and I would love for you to please answer me because I really need more of Jesus to tell me to open my mouth and say the right words because I hear listen to you and I trust you and I believe you just like Jesus Christ and Jehovah God You're the only ones that give us life my son is so like into this Corona virus thing and she's fed up with it please help me please pray for me that God will help put the right words in my mouth when I try to answer her questions because she really needs help just like I do
I loveee the talk about temptation iv givin in to temptation and let me tell u when you said god will not let you injoy temptation the regret after was right on the money
Thank you. I need more understanding. "The Almighty hath tried, and will continue to try, His servants, so that light may be distinguished from darkness, truth from falsehood, right from wrong, guidance from error, happiness from misery, and roses from thorns." - Baha’u’llah, The Book of Certitude
Thank you so much for the teaching of James, so much valuable information is in this book. I would like to hear you elaborate on the power of the tongue, it is quite sobering. God bless your whole house.
What if I completely listened to a couple pastors as friends yet they have cut me off? I was willing to be shaped into a better image of Christ yet without warning I was cut off. A year later one of them told me that this is what they do, they befriend someone for a while then drop them like trash. So from that conversation, I learned that they treated me like trash. In case you're wondering, they did indeed use the word "trash" in that conversation. Last year, a cousin died and I went to California to the funeral. When I came back, it was a mess. Nothing worked in my ministry. Well, we worked on it until we got it to work but when Sunday came, nothing worked. I got upset because it didn't work. Well they sat me down and told me that it was alright that it didn't work and that they understood why I was upset - "my cousin died." They made an excuse for me. That wasn't the reason. I was more upset that I was at the funeral and they were calling me asking me all these questions trying to get it to work. They couldn't respect the fact that I was at a funeral and they keep calling me. Well I turned my phone off. Later that day, I turned my phone back on and I saw they called me 20 times. So I know that they are upset. And they were. When I got back part of that conversation was about me turning off my phone. I told them I didn't appreciate them calling me during the funeral. In fact, I told them the reason why I was going to CA was because of a funeral. Why can't they figure things out for themselves? When at the end they tell me it doesn't matter? This was after they had let me go, as trash. But I guess they felt it necessary to tell me that I was only trash to them and that they do that all the time and have done that for years. It not as if I'm better than I was before; anyone would be at least to the smallest degree. Now I am more cautious who I let in. It's been on year since that conversation but 3 years since I was let go. It sounds weird. I was let go in 2017, spent that entire year coming home alone. 2018 came and went and now it's 2019. But when I really think about it, I was let go well before 2017.
Around 4;24 he said God may allow you to sin, then he said God will not allow you to enjoy the sin. This part I'm confused especially when he said God may allow you to sin. The rest of the video there is so much good teaching.
God doesn't stop us from being disobedient, but if we continue in disobedience to his Word, He will discipline us and we will not have joy. See Hebrews 12:7-8
I don't know if I am a true Christian. Because when everything goes well in my life that is the time I don't have any problem to serve God. But when things in my life that it isn't going all too well. Is like my faith grows dim and to where I do have questions about my faith. The devil knows of what buttons to push in my life. He can put the wrong person in your life to get you off track with your relationship with God. He can used your health issues to come against you. To where you start having questions if Jesus still heals today.
"Blessed" has been used alot in the bible. Just like some other terms used in the bible, does blessed consistently mean happy in terms of the scriptures?
Romans 8:38-39 King James Version 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
