James 4:1-7 - The Battle Over Who To Serve

Title: James 4:1-7
Date: Nov 30, 2003
Speaker: Pastor Antonye Holyde
Topics: Desire, Grace, Service, Submission

Passage: James 4:1-7

1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?
2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, " The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously" ?
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: " God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
