Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her Bible study on the Book of James.

Whatever we may be facing in life, the Book of James probably has something to say about it.

If we're going through a difficult time, it teaches us how to count it all joy, and grow stronger in the middle of it. If we're in need of guidance, it shows us how to count it all joy and grow stronger in the middle of it.

If we're in need of guidance, it shows us how to receive God's wisdom and experience the power

of prayer.

Today, follow along as Joyce teaches a special Bible study of James and shares with us the many

valuable lessons it contains.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching from the book of James.

James 2.14. What is the use of the prophet, my brethren, for anyone to profess to have faith

if he has no good works to show for it? Can such faith save his soul? Now, he's not talking about his spirit he's talking about his soul

your soul is different than your spirit when jesus comes to live in you he comes to live in your

spirit it's our soul that needs a work done in it if a brother our sister is poorly clad and lacks

food for each day and you say to him, goodbye, stay warm and well fed.

All right, it kind of comes down to this. I'll pray for you. That's our out of everything that we

don't want to do. I'll pray for you. And I'm not saying that prayer is not important,

but I already said last night, let's stop praying about things and asking God to do things

that we could easily do ourselves and just don't want to.

I'm having so much fun. And it's only Friday morning. You know why I have fun? Because I know

what this can do for our lives. I've got this thing burning in me. I want to see people have

the life that Jesus died to give them. That's what I want more than anything.

And we have lots of people born again in our meetings, and I'm grateful for that.
