This message was preached by Pastor Jesse Boyd on December 8, 2024 to New Testament Christian Fellowship in Conover, NC. It exegetically addresses 1:6-8 in the larger exposition of the Epistle of James by the shared teaching of the NTCF Elders.
Genuine faith works when it is conditioned to acknowledge (1:5a) to ask (1:5b), and to AVER (1:6-8). He who avers asks of the Lord confidently, asserting the truth without equivocation. He who asks in faith, nothing wavering, DOES NOT act before he asks, come before the Lord with his mind already made up, or hatch contingency plans. He who asks in faith, nothing wavering, DOES make simple and honest requests, continues instant in prayer, is willing to wait, and keeps occupied instead of preoccupied.
When we ask the LORD for wisdom amidst a trial or testing of our faith, we can look for that wisdom and find it in the Scriptures, godly counsel, and the ensuing circumstances of Divine Providence. God never guides where He does not provide. In the multitude of counsellors there is safety. And, as once stated so eloquently by Confederate General Robert E. Lee: “In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible had never failed to give me light and strength.”
