A Doer of God’s Word - James

A part of faithful preaching is striving to make sure that you are not misunderstood. This is especially true when you preach and teach with a shepherd’s heart. You recognize the traps the people fall prey to. You recognize the common ways that precious truths are misunderstood and you strive to save people from those misunderstandings.
That’s what James is concerned with in verses 22-25. You must put away sin in all its forms. You must assume a humble posture for the purpose of receiving Scripture. But if you think that RECEIVING Scripture is just to listen to it acceptingly you will have misunderstood, and missed the point entirely. It’s as if James says, “You here me say that you must receive Scripture, but now I want to be sure that you don’t misunderstand what that means.”
The Holy Spirit through James will teach us that to receive Scripture is to listen for the purpose of practice. You are not someone who receives Scripture unless you are a practitioner of Scripture.

Abba father, I come into complete agreement with this message in accordance to psalm 107:14, ephesians 5:11, ephesians 6:12, ephesians 6:17, 2 chronicles 6:14,james 1:22-25, loosening, casting out and cutting off every unwillingness to look in the mirror to be a doer of the word of God in my life and those surrounding me, binding to be not only a hearer but also a doer of the word, in my life and in the lives of my enemies at all times, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
James 1:22-25 New International Version (NIV)
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it-not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it-they will be blessed in what they do.
