The Truth About Trials Part I James 1:2-4,12 Bishop Flynn Johnson Atlanta Metro Cathedral

James 1:2–4 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

James 1:12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Perseverance: to continue in the course of action when in the face of difficulty or with little or no prospect of success Perseverance under the pressure of a trial, equals the approval of the promise which gives you the promotion.

Psalm 23 PROMISE: “The Lord is My Shepherd” PRINCIPAL: “He Leads me in paths of righteousness” PROBLEM: “I will fear no evil” PROVISION: – “A table before me” – “An Anointing over me” – “My cup runs over”

Four essentials for victory in trials: 1.Count-A Joyful Attitude – (James 1:2) 2.Know-An Understanding Mind – (James 1:3) 3.Let-A Surrendered Will – (James 1:4, 9-11) 4.Ask-A Heart that Wants to Believe – (James 1:5-8)
