Resurrection Mission Baptist Church of Berkley, Michigan, Oakland County, https://resurrectionmission.com presents Pastor Joseph Chatten with a message entitled, At War With Ourselves (James 4:1-12). Presented October 13-2021.
        As Christians, these wars should stop. But how? What causes these fights with one another? It is a war in the heart that causes wars in the church. Where envy and strife are present there are conflicts. Gen. 12:10-20; Joshua chapter 7; Isaiah 53:6. Miriam and Aaron complained about Moses wife; we need to not be jealous of others. What we really want is recognition. Selfish desires are dangerous things; they lead to wrong actions. James 2: 4:13. When our praying is wrong, our whole Christian life is wrong. Covetousness can make a person violate all of God’s moral laws. Selfish living and selfish praying lead to wars. People who are at war with themselves are unhappy people, always envying others. The real problem is in their own heart. Instead of seeking God’s will, we seek to tell Him what to do! Do not get angry with God; be true to God, He is not against the truth. More than one church split has been caused by members with no discipline. Look in your own heart. He made us a unity and we should work together. At war with God in verses James 4 verses 4 to 10. Sin is lawlessness, 1 John 3:4, and is war against God. James 2:23; Gen. 14 all; 1 John 2:15-17. Friendship with the world is compared to adultery. Rom. 12:2. Also read 1 Cor. 11:22; 3:11-15; Rom. 7:4; Jer. 3:1-5; Ezk. 23; Hos. Chapters 1 and 2; James 4:1-5; Gal. 5:17. Thanks for watching! Please like our videos and subscribe to our channel.
