Q4. Wisdom

[Therealizt258]

That he will give wisdom when we ask! And to ask and doubt is being double minded and it negates the blessing in prayer. So if the devil can have us be double minded we can be easily defeated

Q4. (James 1:5-8) What is the promise to claim in verse 5? What is the condition attached to this promise in verse 6? How do trials help us receive this wisdom?

1. That if we ask God for wisdom, He will give it to us generously.

2. The condition  is that we should believe and not doubt.

3. Trials help us receive this wisdom because when we are tempted in trials we either go God's way or the devil.  If we go God's way we are blessed and grow.  If we go the devil's way, we will encounter the same trial again and hopefully we will learn from our mistakes and ask God for wisdom and believe and do what the Holy Spirit is prompting us to do.

The promise is that "if any lack wisdom, let him ask God".   You must ask in faith, do not waiver.  God wants us to become faith believers and not doubt Him.

[Zilka]

God gives generously to All without finding fault.

We must believe and we not doubt.

A double-minded man imposible be happy in life.

[Old Jerry]

The promise to claim in verse 5 is we ask God He will give us wisdom. The condition attached to this promise is we must believe and not doubt. In a trial we seem to get single minded and by the end of the trial he have received this wisdom.
