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.

Let's just say that I walk into a coffee shop and the girl that's behind the counter

has got tattoos all down both arms. Lots of piercings. Her hair is three different colors

going in 40 directions.

And if I'm honest, there's something in me that kind of goes, this kind of wall just kind of like.

All right.

And chances are she might feel the same way about me.

I go in with my three-piece rhinestone suit and my earrings and every hair in place and every piece of makeup perfect and she might automatically think, well, who are you?

And so we have to purposely, and I'm doing this because we all have an issue with this, and I

purposely want us to start bringing down those walls.

I mean, we're going to have to do it on purpose.

There are so stinking many walls of division, And it's keeping us divided and causing us to even

hate people. And all it does is just tear down our power, especially in the church.

Especially in the church. And Jesus said, look, I mean, these are the words of the Holy Spirit.

Don't be prejudiced.

Don't show favoritism to one person while you mistreat another.
