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.

Would anybody just go home and say, okay, God, I am tired of being a namby-bamby baby whiny,

up and down, happy when things go my way, sad when they don't, I'm tired of getting my feelings

hurt all the time and being jealous and getting mad all the time. I want you to do something in me. Let my labor start.

Oh, it sounds a lot more exciting here than it will be when you get home by yourself.

I mean, I'm just saying.

I mean, we got the lights, the music, we got the crowd.

Lord, have mercy.

Trials bring out a lot of stuff before they get around to bringing out the good stuff that's in there.

I mean, they brought fits out of me, anger, jealousy.

Man, could I say some stuff when I got mad?

Isaiah 4110.

Difficalities of all kinds are in the toolbox that God uses to sharpen and refine us.

Fear not, there's nothing to fear.
