How To Prove Your Faith

James 1:2-4 and Deuteronomy 8 tells us about proving your faith. God has already given us His Word for every situation. In Deuteronomy 8 God gave Israel their directions to get to the promise land. God had already promised Abraham that He would lead his ancestors to the promised land. God led them, humbled them, proved them to know what was in their heart. To let them know that man does not live by bread alone but every Word out of the mouth of God. To do good to them in the end. In James 1:2-4 give us an understanding of this process. James tells us to count it all joy when we fall (as we are walking along) into a proving of your faith situation. Faith comes from the Word of God. Romans 10:17 God speaks to us through His Word and as we are walking along on the road of life a situation comes across our path that we need to us the Word of God that we have learned. We are to know this that the proving of our faith works (hires) patience (unswerving constancy). Our faith in the Word of God is proven to be strong as we constantly say in agreement the Word of God concerning a situation. James says for us to let patience (unswerving constancy) have its perfect work. We fight the good fight of faith by never wavering from the Word of God that we are standing in agreement with God. That we may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. In verse 5 it says that if any one lacks wisdom, ask God and God will give you the Word of God that you need to have faith in the situation. God tells us to ask if we need help or if we have His Word, stand unwaveringly on that Word and we will see that what God promised, He is able to perform. Romans 4:21 Once your faith has been shown to be solid, you will get your promise.
