Today I would like to share with you James 4:1-4, “Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” I share this today because These 4 verses have extreme depth to our personal life, family, the church, and all the way up to the highest levels of a city, state and country. First, it starts in our own hearts. Jesus said, “Out of the mouth the heart speaks.” Check your heart and see, are you asking for things because you want it just for your glory and pleasure? Second, look at those who destroy property, who destroyed nations, who destroy people. They do so, because they lust and do not have. They refused to humble themselves and ask the Lord for direction. It comes down to a person having hate inside them. Jesus said that “hate is the same as murder.” Finally know, that we can not want to be a friend to the spirit if this world and follow the Lord. You can not be a friend to the Antichrist spirit and the Holy Spirit at the same time. You will either follow Jesus or follow the Antichrist.
