  • UNFIJ Chapter 05 The Book of James Judgment, Patience, and Prayer
    Nov 19 2025

    PRAYER WARRIOR Active Faith, and Breakthrough PrayerAre you ready for a thunderous wake-up call? James Chapter 5 begins with a fierce prophetic warning against trusting hoarded wealth. Discover why your "cankered" gold and silver are standing as evidence against you, storing up fuel for the fire of judgment in the last days.The Lord of Armies Steps InThis chapter exposes the specific sin of economic oppression, where exploiters "lived in pleasure" and prioritized profit over people. However, there is a powerful theological truth: God hears the cry of the oppressed. He is revealed as the Lord of sabaoth—a Warrior-King commanding the armies of heaven—ready to defend the defenceless.Your Action Plan for Endurance and PowerFor believers, the remedy for suffering under oppression is active, expectant patience. We are called to strengthen our hearts because the return of the King is imminent. We look to the prophets and to Job as the ultimate example of endurance (staying power under a heavy load), trusting that the Lord is "very pitiful" and merciful.In this powerful study, we detail the practical steps for a Spirit-filled life:• Absolute Integrity: James demands that your character be so transparent that a simple "yes" or "no" is completely binding.• Response to Life: If you are afflicted, you should pray; if you are cheerful, you should sing psalms.• Corporate Healing & Authority: We are commanded to call the elders of the church for prayer and anointing with oil. The "prayer of faith shall save the sick," confirming that God desires to heal.• Dominion Through Prayer: Mutual confession of faults facilitates healing. Learn how the "effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much"—it is active, passionate, and capable of altering reality.• Elijah’s Example: Use the earnest prayer of Elijah (a man "subject to like passions" like us) to shift the atmosphere and climate.• Mission of Restoration: Every believer has a duty to turn back those who wander, an action which "shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins".Challenge: Pray with the "earnestness" of Elijah, believing that the same God who opened the heavens for rain can open the heavens over your situation

  • UNFIJ Chapter 04 The Book Of James Right Relationships
    Nov 19 2025

    Are you tired of the fights and quarrels in your life? James 4 demands we look closer: those internal wars come straight from your lusts that war in your members!This episode is a raw, unflinching look at James 4:1-17, challenging Christians on where they seek satisfaction and why they lack spiritual power.Here’s the deal:• Stop being fooled: The sources reveal that friendship with the world is enmity with God. If you're seeking identity in worldly success or satisfaction in material things, you will never be truly satisfied. It’s time to quit playing the field and stop being double-minded.• Spiritual Power Play: If you feel weak, it may be because you ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Discover the freedom, peace, security, and unlimited spiritual power available when you communicate with God and align yourself with His will.• Immediate Action Steps: We walk through the powerful call to submit yourselves therefore to God and the promise that as you resist the devil, he will flee from you. Learn how to cleanse your hands and purify your hearts. Humbling yourself in the sight of the Lord is the way He will lift you up!• The Relational Test: Your relationship with God is demonstrated by how you treat your brothers and sisters. Hear why slandering or judging others means you are actually speaking evil of the law.Life is brief—it is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. Don't waste time on worldly boasting or letting your knowledge of doing good become sin. Put your relationships right, and all the rest will follow.

  • UNFIJ Chapter 03 The Book Of James The Bridled Tongue
    Nov 19 2025

    DO YOU CONTROL YOUR LIFE?Discover the shocking truth about this "unruly evil, full of deadly poison" that no human can tame:• THE FIRE OF HELL: James reveals that destructive, slanderous, and hateful speech draws its energy directly from the demonic realm, being literally "set on fire of hell (Gehenna)". Learn how a loose tongue defiles your whole body and affects the entire "wheel of life"—your destiny and generations to come.• THE POWER OF A SPARK: Understand how one angry outburst, one rumor, or a single critical word acts as a tiny spark that can kindle and destroy an entire forest—a reputation, a marriage, or a ministry.• THE ULTIMATE CONTROL: Your tongue acts as a small rudder (helm) that determines the direction of the massive ship of your life. When you face the fierce winds of life's storms, your confession of faith determines the path.• THE STRIKE AGAINST GOD: Why is destructive speech so serious? Because when we curse or verbally abuse others, we are attacking those "made after the similitude of God".THE WISDOM YOU CHOOSE DETERMINES YOUR CHAOS.Examine the two paths of spiritual maturity presented in James Chapter 3:1. EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH WISDOM: This false wisdom is defined by bitter envying, strife, and selfish ambition. It is not from God and always leads to confusion and every evil work.2. HEAVENLY WISDOM: This is the genuine gift from above, defined by purity, peace, gentleness, and mercy.The overarching lesson is clear: Spiritual maturity is not measured by gifts or title, but by the control of the tongue. If you want to reap the "fruit of righteousness," you must first sow the seeds of peace.If you aspire to lead or teach, be warned: Teachers (didaskalos) are held to a stricter standard and shall receive "the greater condemnation" for their words.

  • UNFIJ Chapter 02 The Book of James Faith Works
    Nov 19 2025

    The Law of Liberty and the Verdict on Dead FaithStop judging by external appearances! Dive into James Chapter 2 and confront the sin of partiality and favouritism in the assembly. When we are dazzled by human riches, we lose sight of the true glory of Christ, and this behavior makes us judges of evil thoughts.We explore the profound theological concept that partiality transgresses the Royal Law: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself". James shows that the law is unified: if you offend in one point, you are a transgressor of the whole law. Learn why we must live as those judged by the law of liberty, ensuring that mercy rejoiceth against judgment.The chapter delivers the core verdict: faith without works is dead. Mere intellectual agreement is insufficient; James reminds us that the devils also believe, and tremble. True faith is a dynamic force that must move your hands to meet physical needs. Both Abraham and Rahab demonstrated this truth, being justified by works that served as the evidence of their living faith. Ultimately, faith without works is as dead as a body without a spirit .

  • UNFIJ Book Of James Chapter 01 Actionable Faith
    Nov 19 2025

    Stop being a hearer only! Chapter 1 of James is your roadmap to spiritual maturity, demanding that faith moves from your head to your hands.In this deep dive, we unpack the practical principles for real-life Christianity: Learn how to count your unavoidable trials all joy because they produce active endurance (patience). Discover the source of stability by asking for wisdom in unwavering faith—and why being "double-minded" makes you unstable in all your ways.We draw a critical line between strengthening trials and harmful temptation, proving that God, the Father of lights, is the constant source of every good gift and never tempts us to evil. The real spiritual battlefield is internal: we examine the anatomy of sin, which is conceived when unchecked desire (lust) is enticed.Finally, James tells us what pure religion looks like: it’s not just talk, but being quick to hear, slow to anger, and demonstrated by actively caring for the vulnerable (like the fatherless and widows) while keeping yourself unspotted from the world. Unlock the perfect law of liberty and start doing the Word today!

    Nov 19 2025

    Meet James the Just. He wasn't a believer until the resurrection, then became the uncompromising leader of the earliest church in Jerusalem. Writing perhaps the very first book of the New Testament (AD 45–48), James is tired of inconsistency. He addresses Jewish Christians facing poverty and persecution who needed to connect their Messiah theology with their harsh reality.This episode dives into the "Proverbs of the New Testament"—a book filled with unforgettable wisdom speeches.What We Confront:God’s Enemy List: We dissect James’ powerful warnings against the oppressive rich and the sin of showing partiality to the wealthy in the church assembly.• The Source of Sin: James tells you exactly where temptation comes from—it’s not God, but your own inward "lust".• Heavenly vs. Earthly Wisdom: Why are there fights and quarrels in your life? James attributes it to earthly wisdom, which is "sensual and devilish," and challenges you to seek the wisdom that is pure, peaceable, and gentle.• Prayer That Moves Mountains: If you need healing or power, James gives practical instructions on calling elders and using the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man.James’ purpose is clear: to safeguard against spiritual deception and force us to ask the hard question: “Does my life look like I follow Jesus?”.
