**Until the beginning of Luke after September 14, readings will be from the New Testament Epistles and will be in the older King James version.**

James One Two-Eight
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION:  the prerequisite for answered prayer is that is lines up with the Will of God.  Taking this out of context creates a charismatic ‘name it and claim it’ heresy where God is everyone’s servant instead of the we being His.
