JAMESKey Verse: But be doers of the word,
and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves- James 1:22 (NKJ)
Review- Selfish ambition comes from the influences of the world, the flesh and the devil. It leads to chaos internally and broken relationships externally. Wisdom from above leads to humble hearts and peace-making.

3 Enemies: World, Flesh, Devil
Flesh: What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?- vs. 1
Desires= Hedonon: “pleasures.” A life given over to the pursuit of personal pleasure.

BToL: Internal conflict will always produce external conflict
This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome- 1 John 5:3
My deepest desire tells me whether or not I belong to Jesus…

JAMES
So what’s the answer for someone who continually causes problems?
Why do these desires “battle within” us?

JAMES
You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures- vs. 2-3

JAMES
What do they ultimately want? Why can’t they get it?
Outside of God’s will, God’s ways, God’s purposes
If I can’t ask God for it and trust
him, it’s probably not his will for me

JAMESWorld: You adulterous people, don't
you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely? - vs.5-6

JAMES
Why “adulterous”? World= Kosmos- system of evil
controlled by Satan

JAMES
Devil: But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you- vs. 6-7

The devil controls the world system
The world entices the flesh (old nature)
The flesh creates chaos and destruction (internally and externally) in its addictive desire for pleasure
Therefore, the devil exerts great influence on the person who submits to the desires of the flesh outside God’s will

JAMES
Submit- get into your proper rank, know your place and keep it (military)
Submission brings obedience. Obedience brings blessing
Bonus Question: Will resisting the devil always work?

Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry- 1 Cor 10:14

JAMESCome near to God and he will come
near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up- vs. 8-10
