James Chapter One Study Notes.



Lesson 2 James 1:1-2.



Text.



1. James a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to
the

twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.



2. My brethren count it all joy when ye fall into divers

temptations;



What is a servant? 1401



He first identifies himself as a slave or servant, One who
gives

himself up to another's will. Some one who is in bondage usually
but

in scripture it is a choice not a bondage.



In New Testament times people owned servants.



Every 7 years at year of Jubilee all debt was free and the

Servant was set free.



If you decided to stay after 7 years you were then marked
with a

hole in the ear then they become a bond servant.



James had made a life long commitment to the Lord.



He showed he was committed by saying he was a servant.



James only uses the term Jesus Christ twice in the Book of

James.



What is a tribe? 5443



There are two or three possibilities. It is all the
Descendent of

Jacob. This was called a tribe.



Of people of a race or Nation, or habitation.



To the Jews who were being scattered.



To the Christians is the strongest possibility who he was

addressing.



Describe the meaning of the word greeting. 5463



This is a traditional Gentile greeting not a Jewish greeting.



The Jewish was the word Shalom which means Made whole.



Paul usually used grace or peace in his greetings.



Means cheerful, happy, rejoice, Wish you well, God speed in
this

greetings is what is represented.



Describe the word joy. 5479



Calls us brethren which means kinship.



The same blood has made us the same by Christ.



Count it all Joy. Consider it all joy.



Joy means: Cheerfulness, calm, delight, gladness.



Joy is associated with life, The experience of sorrow helps
you

have the capacity of joy. Joy is the opposite of sorrow.



Happiness and Joy is often mixed up and they are not related.



Happiness is a product of the soul, based on feelings, or

circumstances.



Happiness comes and goes.



Joy is not of the soul but of the spirit. Gal 5:22



Sorrow if when your spirit is sinking and joy is described
when

your spirit is bursting forth.



This comes from the root word used for grace.



Neh 8:10, The joy of the Lord is your strength. Luke 15:7,
Joy

in heaven over one sinner repenting.



Isa 12:3. With joy ye shall draw forth out of the waters of

salvation.



Psa 16:11, In thy presence there is fullness of joy. In his

presence there is joy.



Joy is supernatural. It is very powerful.



Count it joy when you fall in divers temptations. When you
fall

into temptations count it as joy this releases joy into the

circumstance.



It does not equal pleasure. it is progress to become Christ

like.



Joy is the ability to expect God to move and Joy sustains
you.



Explain the word fall. 4045



When you fall, to fall into something all around you.



Be surrounded with, be compassed with problems all around
you.



You wake up and it seems it is all around you. This is what
he

is talking about.



Like being in a snow storm or fog all around you. This shows
us

we cannot always control things around us.



It takes joy to count yourself this way in the midst of

problems. We need to stop and let Joy come on the scene.



What is divers? 4164



Manifold is alternative word, Various temptations is also ok.



Comes for the word pictures from the root links. Mixture of

colors in any picture.



Talking about all different kinds of circumstances.



We need joy to help us in all circumstances.



Count it joy.



Define the word temptations. 3986



Can be a experiment. To test it. to be tested or go through

trials, proving, adversity, affliction, provocations.



Count it all joy when you fall into these different problems
or

times of your life.



Can mean outward circumstances, and also inside on your
morals.



Trials is outward tests.



Temptations as inward tests this is in the English.



Both of these help you either go toward or away from God.



If you count it as joy it will draw you closer to God.



In a trial some people pull away from Church and Christian

people.



Trials come in varied form.



People often stumble over circumstances.



There is a testing of our faith.



Every trial builds character in us. We learn to be used in

eternity for the Lord.



React with joy from the Spirit Man not with the soul.



Lesson 3 James 1:3-4.



Text.



2. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh
patience.



3. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be

perfect and entire, wanting nothing.



Explain the word knowing. 1097

recognize , to come to know, absolutely perceive smoothing.



The following words come from the same root word in Greek.

expectation of getting an approval. We are going to go through
trying

I Peter 1:6-9



Our trial of our faith is more precious then gold.



The end of our faith is the saving of our souls.



Give a brief description of faith. 4102



This is what is going to be tied.



Faith is : A assurance, or a strong conviction, a firm

persuasion, a confidence.



A bold strong confidence.



Our faith is always on trial.



Three things that watch our test of faith.



One is the Demonic beings, Two is God and his Heavenly
Beings,

and The third are those around us.



Define worketh. 2716



Means to do work fully, not just active but to work fully, to

accomplish, to achieve, to bring about results. To bring forth

fruition.



Trials achieve something in us. Children of Israel went
through

the same thing to see what was in their heart.

Good word for this is steadfastness, Those that endure until
the

end the same will be saved. Must endure to the end not get
started

and give up.

patience

have her perfect work.

Without patience we cannot be made entire.



First going through a trial you count it all joy, Then we

knowing that this kind of trying is subject of approval which
will

get us some where.



Our faith is on trial Rom 10:17 faith.



Is being tested for approval.



The trying of our faith achieves endurance which brings about

maturity or completeness.



This shows a pathway what a trial does to your life from

beginning to end.



This is the end results of going through trials.



Explain wanting. 3007



Means lacking nothing.



What will be lacking?



Nothing.



Notes.



Could you imagine a trial could produce all this in your
life.



This is the only way to achieve this goal to be mature in
Christ.



Count it all joy.



Our ability to release joy is important.



Your ability to endure is patience.



We need to do this consistently over time to come to
maturity.

2 Cor 3:17 Where the Spirit is there is liberty.

controlled by the spoken word and not by the bits and harnesses.



The law of liberty changes the heart to be made Christlike.



Gal 5:1 Stand fast in the liberty that Christ has made us
free

and be not entangled with the yoke of bondage.



This law of liberty is dealing with the inner man and being

transformed by the power of God.



This is talking about the Law of Christ and not the Law of

moses.



We are responsible for the law of Liberty and we will be
judged

by them not by the Law of Moses.

This a law that cannot be changed.



Luke 6:27 Do good to them that hate you, Love your enemies.



What happens when you love your enemies, When you give love
you

begin to receive love.



Pray for them who despitfully use you.



For every action there is a opposite and equal reaction.



One way to visualize this is a two man saw when one man goes
one

way then the other man goes the other way.



This law works and is active everyday wether we are aware of
it

or not.



We are breaking a negative law with a positive law of

reciprocity.



We should be treating others, as we want them to treat us.



Scratch my back and I will scratch yours.



Love breaks the enemy, hate, lies. If we take the opposite of

what the Devil does we can break his hold.



Be merciful like our Father is merciful.



God gave us mercy and we need to give out mercy to receive

mercy.





This works the same way with forgiveness of sin.



If we do not judge others and we will not be condemned.



Verse Luke 6:38 Give and it shall be given unto you. Very
much

good measure, pressed down, running over. With the same measure
of

giving it will be given back to you.



What two laws were discussed today?



Two laws are working in our life. Law of Liberty and the Law
of

Repeciprocity.

Two avenues into our spirit. One is our eyes and the second
is

the ears.



The more seeds you put into your heart the more seeds will
come

up.



If seeds do not come up and do something what value would do

this.



What if as a mother carried a seed but did not give life it

would not be a productive situation.

God.1



How are we like God: God said in the book of Genesis and God

said and there it was.



Man has the same ability in a limited form to say and to
create

with the words of his mouth.



Man is not able to tame his tongue and is therefore is
subject

what comes out of his mouth.



Our words are spiritual. They either create life or death.



Samuel words did not fell to the ground as he was annointed
by

God.



Why shouldn't we curse men?



Because they are made in the likeness of God.



List the ways we are like God.

This is very important.



Ps 103:20 The angels hearken to the voice of His word.

then we take the word of God and take it and put into our
heart

then next it has to be spoken Heb 3:1 High priest of our
Confession.

The High Priest only offers what we bring to him.



Christ is the High Priest of our confession then he offers
our

words unto the Father.



The word of God will not return until him void.



Notes.



How can we control our tongue.



We need to watch what we listen to.



We need to speak the Word of God.



Religion will speak their belief with their tongue and when
they

speak these beliefs the will believe them more whether they are
true

bring forth a harvest in our life.

with

the tongue.



To be able to control the tongue we have to learn to shut our

mouth.



Words are a product of the soulish realm and are tainted if
they

are not annointed by the Holy Spirit.



Don't react but act on what the Word of God says.



Heb 10:26 we can purge our mind and life from the influence
of

the worlds and its music.



Music influences our moods either to the good or evil.



We need to be influenced by the music based on the Word of
God.
