James 1:22<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cBut be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.\u201d Remember in last week’s devotion, \u201cIf you\u2019re not in the Word, you may be walking a worldly life thinking you are right, or following other churchgoers doing things that may even appear spiritual\u201d. You could also be the person who doesn\u2019t do<\/strong> the will of God, but you are doing things and saying they are for God. Jesus put it this way, \u201cNot everyone who says to Me, \u2018Lord, Lord,\u2019 shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.\u00a0Many will say to Me in that day, \u2018Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?\u2019\u00a0And then I will declare to them, \u2018I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!\u201d (Matthew 7:21-23). You can\u2019t be a doer of the Word if you’re not in the Word. There is no greater deception than that of a person who deceives themselves. Doing the will of God begins in the Word of God. Are you a doer of the Word?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" James 1:22 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cBut be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.\u201d Remember in last week’s devotion, \u201cIf you\u2019re not in the Word, you may be walking a worldly life thinking you are right, or following other churchgoers doing things that may even appear spiritual\u201d.
