Show Notes:

○ James 4:1-10

○ James 4:1-6

§ Read James 4:1-6 again in the CJB version 

§ You desire so you kill, you covet so you quarrel and fight

□ James could be talking about literal murder, or he could be talking about heart posture behind it, the hate or anger we harbor against people

® Read Matthew 5: 21-22

§ You do not have because you do not pray and ask God

□ James is telling saying that some of you don’t have what you want because you don’t even think to pray and ask God for it

® Read Matthew 7:7-8

□ The next sentence, however, is very telling…when you ask, you do not receive because you ask with wrong motives- you want only what will give you pleasure

® Read:

◊  Proverbs 16:2

◊ Jeremiah 17:9-10

§ Don't you know that friendship with the world means that you are an enemy of God? His Spirit that dwells inside of us longs jealously 

□ 1st, James calls the readers "adulterous people", which for the Jewish reader, would have been familiar, considering that God used various prophets to call out the children of Israel and Judah for their unfaithfulness to Him

□ Remember the 1st and greatest commandment: "And you must love the LORD your god with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength" (Deut. 6:5)

® Read Romans 8:5-8

§ And what does "friendship with the world" look like?

□ It looks like what we just read, fighting, quarreling, and it looks like what we talked have talked about for the past 6 weeks as we've gone through James

□ So what is the solution?

○ James 4:7-10

§ Submit yourselves to God

§ Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (think Jesus when he was tempted in the wilderness in Matthew 4)

§ Come near to God, and He will come near to you 

§ Wash your hands and purify your hearts

§ Grieve for what you have done

□ Read 2 Corinthians 7:10-11

§ Humble yourself before the Lord, and He will lift you up

□ Read 1 Peter 5:6
