James, the leader in Jerusalem, faced a world turned upside down. His message offers God's answer and resource for anyone facing crisis today.The principle = “Don’t ask why, ask what.”Three “what” questions survivors ask:1. What can I control when my world falls apart?2. What must I do to make it through today?3. What hope do I have for tomorrow?The answer = God’s sovereignty + goodness = He will take my worst circumstances and use them for my best if I will trust Him and not bail out of His spiritual maturity process.I. The problem: sometimes we get “stuck” in our pain.II. The solution: God promises help for those who are “stuck.” -Jas. 1:5-8God’s offer = supernatural WISDOMOur responsibility = to ASKGod’s attitude when we come = OPEN & GENEROUSIII. The one condition: We receive God’s wisdom only when we “ask in faith, without any doubting.”Conclusion: Four things you must do to get unstuck1. Admit you’re stuck2. Admit you can’t do it on your own3. Ask God for supernatural wisdom4. Be willing to do whatever God’s wisdom demands of youBroadcast ResourceSeries ResourcesMessage NotesYear End MatchDouble Your Gift TodayMinistry ReportAdditional ResourcesChristmas GiftsConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003
