Live The High Life


Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like (James 1:23,24, NIV).



If we do this, we continue to live in guilt and condemnation, and that affects us in all kinds of ways



Have you ever talked to someone about a specific scripture that promises them something, only to have them say I know that says that, or, that sounds good; but in my case it’s different. Or, I am just a failure. What are they saying? That the scripture doesn’t apply to them?

What makes them not eligible for the promise?

They are like the one in this scripture, they look at the Word but turn and walk off not believing that it means them.

If we will take the word of God as it is, and say, “that means me.” and walk in it, then we will be doers of the word and not hearers only. We will begin to look and talk like winners, not losers
