Stop Reacting: James

Описание: James 1:19 is simple… and it will expose you.
“Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” (James 1:19)

In recovery—and in real life—most blowups start the same way: we hear something, we take it personal, and we react.
But James doesn’t tell you to “feel better.” He tells you to listen fast (fast hearing), close your mouth long enough to get facts, and refuse unrighteous anger—because the wrath of man never produces the righteousness of God.

In this teaching we walk through James 1:19–25 and connect it straight to recovery:

How to keep your intellect engaged instead of your emotions running the show

Why “just hearing” can actually be self-deception (professional hearers)

How the Word “saves your soul” (mind, will, emotions) day by day

Why you don’t forget who you are when you continue in the perfect law of liberty

The truth about blessing: I’m blessed, period—and the outcomes follow who you are

“Wherever you go, the blessing goes” (Abraham & Lot lesson)

Problems equal opportunity (the canvas mistake → Levi’s story)

Recovery application:
Triggered does not mean you have to respond. You can hold your peace. You can get facts. You can stay free.

If you’re serious about growth this week, drop this in the comments:
“Fast hearing. Slow reaction.”
