James 3:17-18, 4:6,7,8; 5:13,15,16,19,20

"but the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness."

I have to say that this verse made me think a lot. You just dont understand it at the first time you come across it and since it was the first time i have read it i was glad i did. Made me think about a lot of the time when people think they are wise but then use it for their own instead of what James says. I actually never thought about the wisdom from heaven although quite a few times asked myself what does wisdom looks like from heaven and now i dont even have to think about because it is stated here in the bible the word of God. This verse gave me this hope that you find nowhere else.

"But he gives us more grace. that is why Scripture says: God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Submit yourself, then, to God. Resist the and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double- minded."

anytime your in trouble with this is what you have to do which is resist. and just like that it works. I know this from just experiencing different situations in my life when it comes dealing with my past. has put this hold on my past and oppresses me with it all the time but all i do is submit myself to Jesus and flees. This is the power of God.

"Is anyone of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyoe happy? Let him sing songs of praise. and the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a rihteous man is powerful and effective. My brothers if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back remember this:Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from and cover over a multitude of sins."
