Ask Big
Scripture “…you do not have because you do not ask.” (James 4:2, NKJV) Word I wonder today how many people have been disappointed simply because they didn’t pray and ask God for the big things in their hearts. You might say, “Well, Joel, God is God. If He wants to bless me, He will bless […]
Passing the Small Tests
Scripture “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” (James 4:17, NIV) Word Many people expect the voice of God to boom like a loudspeaker, but scripture tells us that He speaks in a still, small voice. To us, it seems like an impression […]
Wait with Confidence
Scripture “…See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm…” (James 5:7–8 NIV) Word In the book of James, the Bible tells us that we should wait for God’s promises like a farmer […]

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” (James 5:16, NIV) Word All throughout scripture, we see that God’s system is based on sowing and reaping. In other words, what you make happen for […]
Standing Firm in Your Faith
Scripture “But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind” (James 1:6, NIV) Word Are you believing that God will do something specific in your life today? Oftentimes, when we are standing in faith, the storms of […]
Draw Closer to God
Scripture “Come close to God, and God will come close to you…” (James 4:8, NLT) Word God promises that He will draw close to you when you draw close to Him. How do we draw close to Him? First of all, this verse goes on to say that we must turn away from sin because […]
