    PASSING THE TESTS: OUR GOD-GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES JAMES 1:2-6; HEBREWS 11:6; ROMANS 10:17 SESSION 2 - AUGUST 16, 2026 è Trials, Tests: Weights vs. My Faith (Hebrews 11:6; Romans 10:17; 1 John 5:4; Mark 4:15 è Wisdom: God’s Perspective • We have Natural/Physical Eyes and Spiritual Eyes è OUR EYE TEST: Our natural, physical eyes: Gates into our spiritual person. (What we see with our eyes (brain) affects our mind (soul). ✸What we keep on viewing with our eyes is critical to the success or failure in our inner person (soul). è What we fix our eyes on is consequential! • Matthew 6:22, 23: light and darkness (perspective) “I am the Light”; Jesus! (John 8:12) è Testing My Eyes! Eyes open paths! • The path to darkness and destruction (Luke 11:34; Mark 9:47) • The path of Deception: (Genesis 3:6) Disobedient, destructive pleasure. • The path of self-righteous judgement (and the blindness thereof) (Luke 6:41,42) ✸Current Tests: Screen time messages! è Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus! (Hebrews 12:1,2) • Looking intently, giving attention to: an ongoing discipline! • Prayer, worship, confession of the Word. • Conscious prayer for the Lord’s filter on what I continue to view! • Stop looking in the Rear View Mirror! (Past hurts, failures, etc.) • Stop the replays! • Stop rehearsing offences (Ephesians 4:32) ✸Knowledge involves an accumulation of facts. Spiritual wisdom discerns how to apply those facts for a successful result. i.e. I can know that something is true about a situation, but wisdom will direct me into what to say/do, when to say/do, how to say/do. ⍟In the absence of knowing what to do next, focus on what you do know!

    Biblical Wisdom for Overcoming Strife :Covenant Heirs Fellowship 8/2/2026 Immanuel Marsh Speaking Biblical Wisdom for Overcoming Strife Covenant Heirs Fellowship 8/2/2026 Immanuel Marsh Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. – James 3:13–18 ESV What is strife?
