Count It All Joy
By Peter James from: www.peterjamesx.com
Kings James Bible translation
James 1: 2 ¶ My brethren, count it all joy when
ye fall into divers temptations;
James 1: 3 Knowing this, that the trying
of your faith worketh patience.
James 1: 4 But let patience have her
perfect work, that ye may be perfect
and entire, wanting nothing.
These simple verses have a profound meaning, which we
have overlooked
for many years.
In general we have taken it to mean, that we should
just accept whatever
happens to us, and that is the end of the matter.
Now, I will show you what it does mean.
You will know that the basic bible, which I use is the
King James Bible,
and that is what I quoted above.
I have often explained the benefits of it, but there
are also difficulties,
as I have also shown.
As I
have said translation is a science as well as an art.
Recently I had a very difficult situation with which
to deal.
The part of the verse which came into my mind was, ‘count it all joy’,
so for a few minutes I just kept going about my
business and saying,
‘Count
it all joy’.
The more that I said it the better I felt.
I had never had such a thing happen to me before.
Pretty soon the whole situation completely went out of
my mind,
and I felt great.
A little later I got my bible and read the verse.
It was speaking about divers temptations, which means many temptations,
but the fact was that I had not experienced
any temptation at all.
A situation had existed, but it could never qualify as
a temptation.
I meditated on this situation.
Long ago I had thrown out almost all other versions of
the bible,
Also as a general rule I do not use commentaries.
I have a link The Bible Is Used To Deceive all over
my website,
and the link is on most documents.
I have one modern translation, which sometimes helps
with difficult words,
and measures, and things like that.
I looked at the critical verse, it said:
James 1:2
Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way,
consider it an opportunity for great joy.
It had replaced temptations with ‘troubles of any kind come your way’.
that made great sense,
but then it says that we must ‘consider it’, rather than count.
How can we look at a serious problem and think in our
minds,
that it is not a serious problem and it is great joy?
What good is that going to do? I pondered.
I could not see any benefit in it at all.
So I continued with counting it great joy.
So over a couple of days, I had the thought,
When you are teaching a child to count what do you do?
You tell it to say 1, 2, 3, etc.
I then saw that this thought was actually what I had
done.
So I replaced count, with speak out the fact
that you regard
this difficulty as an opportunity for great joy.
Now that was easy for me, because I already had the
experience.
James 1: 2 ¶ My brethren, count it all joy
when ye fall into divers temptations;
can be quoted as:
James 1: 2 ¶
My brethren, speak out
it is all joy when ‘troubles of any kind come your way’.
The verses, which follow then give us the purpose of
troubles.
James 1: 3 Knowing
this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
James 1: 4 But
let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire,
wanting nothing.
A primary purpose of the Eternal God is
to develop His character in us,
which are the good and perfect gifts, which James mentions just a few verses later.
It is not a bigger and better house, car,
job, bank account or even partner.
We all tend to lack patience, but almost
everyone I know tells me how very patient
they are. It really makes me smile.
James 1:17 Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of
lights, with whom is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning.
Many people say that they are ‘in love’,
when they are in the most horrific relationship
possible.
Many people say that they cannot forgive,
when something horrible has happened to them,
of if they see someone being abused.
They claim, I could never forgive that.
Without knowing it, they are actually right.
It is above the character of a carnal human being to
forgive,
because forgiveness is a quality of the Eternal God,
just like Love is actually a title of the Eternal God.
The Eternal God said:
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not
yourselves,
but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written,
Vengeance
is mine;
I will repay, saith the Lord.
This is translated in the same version I just
mentioned.
Romans 12:19 Dear Friends, never take revenge
(try to get even – p.j.) Leave that to the righteous anger of God.
King James: Vengeance is mine;
I will repay, saith the Lord.
So we now have seen that forgiveness and
Vengeance are both
the prerogative of the Eternal God.
When Christ had been beaten until he was
unrecognisable,
and nailed to the tree, He did not say that He forgave
the people,
who killed Him.
Think about it.
When
Christ had all the sins of humanity, that existed,
and
will exist dumped on Him, He became sin for us.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for
us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have
suffered since the foundation of the world:
but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin
by the sacrifice of himself.
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;
and unto them that look for him shall he appear the
second time
without sin unto salvation.
We need to be very clear in our minds, that this is
not just a random pile of wickedness,
which was called sin.
It
was a precise account of all sins of all humanity, from the time that man was
made,
until
the last man will have died.
How can I make such a statement?
All of our sins, including every little one,
are written in the judgment books.
Stop and think about this for moment.
How many times have I urged everyone to
wake up,
and get their act together?
The answer is many, many times.
How many do respond?
Very few.
Life is not a party, or a holiday.
Of course we all would like to be happy,
but few actually
do the things which result in happiness.
They prefer their own agenda.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus
cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God,
why
hast thou forsaken me?
Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus
cried with a loud voice, saying,
Eloi, Eloi,
lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted,
My
God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
It is because Christ had actually become sin in our
stead that,
that His and our Father, the Eternal God had to turn
his back on Him,
because He cannot be in the presence of sin.
That is the only time in the universe,
when The Eternal God separated himself from, Christ.
How can we act so
carelessly and casually, if we really know and understand
the reality of our
position?
We
are not doing the Eternal God a favour by obeying Him.
It
is for our good, and the good of all mankind, and the entire universe.
Countless
people, including millions of children are suffering,
not
just in India, Syria, Yemen, the many countries which are denied
food
water and medicine, but also in the U.K., the U.K., and elsewhere,
because
the Vatican, and its servants, the political, and religious leaders,
and the super rich, want to own and control the
entire world.
As
I have written, regardless of how it seems, the New World Order,
and
an alien saviour will never happen.
This
is our position.
We need to understand that if our names
are written in the ‘Book of Life’,
then we would not be at the throne of the
Eternal God for Judgment,
at the great White Throne judgment.
It is the dead, whose names are not written in the Book
of Life,
who are judged.
Revelation 20:12 12 And I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God;
and the books were opened: and another book was
opened,
which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of
those things
which
were written in the books, according to their works.
The Eternal God knows all things before
they actually occur,
therefore we are told that He knows even
the things, which
are not yet done, declaring what will happen
at the beginning
before our actions take place.
Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times
the
things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand,
and I will do all my pleasure:
Returning to the crucifixion, when Christ had all of
our sins dumped on Him,
He called
out to His Father to forgive those who had tortured Him,
and
crucified Him.
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Christ
did not say, I forgive them.
He
said Father forgive them.
When people have suffered severe trauma at the hands
of another,
we often hear them say, I forgive, but I cannot
forget.
That is true.
It is only the Eternal God who can forgive and forget.
It is for this reason that the Eternal God has to be
involved in forgiveness.
We have no
ability whatsoever, to erase a single sin from the judgment books.
It is Christ
who cleans us, as I have explained many times.
Here it is
once again.
Ezekiel 36:25 ¶
(1) Then will I
sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean:
from all your filthiness, and from all your idols,
(2) will I cleanse you.
Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart
also
(3) will I give you, and a new spirit
(4) will I put within you:
(5) and I will
take away the stony heart out of your flesh,
(6) and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Ezekiel 36:27
(7) And I will put
my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my
statutes,
and ye shall keep my judgments, and
do them.
Your contribution is to listen.
I am saying this daily, like a stuck record, to any and
everyone.
Did you notice that I did not say obey?
The reason is that even obeying is a gift.
It is point number 7.
It is only from the time that Christ comes, and dwells
in us as the Holy Spirit,
that we will be equipped from that moment to obey.
From that very instant,
you have Christ, as the Holy Spirit, dwelling in you to
enable you to obey,
absolutely everything that Christ requires from us.
From this point on,
your contribution is to listen and to obey.

Of course if you
are in a state of rebellion and sin,
you need to immediately repent, and get your life back
on track.
Be Fully
aware that there is a finite time left for you to repen,
and It
will soon come to an end,
You cannot be sinning and keep saying ‘this is great joy’.
That would be a great sin.
The beauty of this little document, is that you can
easily put what I advise into practice,
and experience the benefits yourself.
So when any difficulties come your way,
speak out the fact that you regard
this difficulty as an opportunity for great joy.
There are additional bible verses,
which further expand this subject, and we can see this
in action,
by ordinary people, who were genuine servants of our
Eternal God.
The apostles were healing many people of
all sorts of diseases,
by the most astounding miracles,
and freeing others from evil spirits.
Acts 5:14 And believers were the more
added to the Lord,
multitudes both of men and women.)
Acts 5:15 Insomuch that they brought forth
the sick into the streets,
and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least
the shadow of Peter
passing by might overshadow some of them.
Acts 5:16 There came also a multitude out of the cities
round about unto Jerusalem,
bringing
sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits:
and
they were healed every one.
The ordinary people were very happy
about this,
however, the High Priest and his
supporters, the Sadducees,
(Some of the most important religious
leaders of the time,
there were others like the Pharisees, of
which Saul was one,
before he became converted and was then
called Paul.)
were very unhappy about this, and they
promptly had the apostles
locked up in the common prison.
Acts 5:17
¶ Then the high priest rose up, and all
they that were with him,
(which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled
with indignation,
Acts 5:18 And laid their hands on the
apostles,
and put them in the common prison.
The Eternal God does not just throw His
servants to the wolves,
for them to be destroyed.
The angel of the Lord, which could be
Christ Himself,
as this term is often used for Christ,
opened the prison doors,
and brought them out.
The apostles were told to go to the
temple, and to preach the words of this life.
Acts 5:19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors,
and
brought them forth, and said,
Acts 5:20 Go,
stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
They obeyed and early in the morning
they did just that.
Whilst they were busy preaching in the
temple, the High Priest,
who is the appointed top servant of the
Eternal God,
sent his co-workers to prison to bring
the apostles to him.
Acts 5:21 And when they heard that, they entered into
the temple early in the morning,
and taught. But the high priest came, and they that
were with him,
and called the council together, and all the senate of
the children of Israel,
and sent to the prison to have them brought.
To their astonishment, the co-workers
found the apostles were missing.
Although the guards were there, and
everything seemed normal,
with the doors safely shut, but when
they opened the doors,
the apostles were missing, because they
had been released by
the angel of the Lord, and they were
doing as they had been told,
and they were in the Temple preaching
and teaching the people.
Acts 5:22 But when the officers came, and
found them not in the prison,
they returned, and told,
Acts 5:23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with
all safety,
and the keepers standing without before the doors: but
when we had opened,
we found no man within.
Someone told the officers that the apostles were in the temple.
They then brought them without violence
to the High Priest,
because they feared that the people,
might stone them. (the
officers)
Acts 5:25
Then came one and told them,
saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison
are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
Acts 5:26
¶ Then went the captain with the
officers, and brought them without violence:
for they feared the people, lest they should have been
stoned.
Acts 5:27
And when they had brought them,
they set them before the council:
and the high priest asked them,
The High Priest, just like the countless
false ministers, priests, elders and other
religious and political authorities do
today, the High Priest and his lackeys,
wickedly used his God given authority to serve Satan,
and they threatened the apostles.
Acts 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly (gave you strict orders) command you
that ye should not teach in this name?
and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your
doctrine,
and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
The apostle Peter, and the other
apostles,
then cut the High Priest right down to
size.
First
they told them that we ought to obey God rather than men.
We
all need to take that on board, and act the very same way.
Acts 5:29
Then Peter and the other apostles
answered and said,
We ought to obey God rather than men.
The apostles then bluntly called this
religious rabble, murderers to their faces.
Acts 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up
Jesus,
whom ye slew and
hanged on a tree.
The apostles then said that Christ was
exalted by His Father
as Prince and Saviour.
Other translations correctly omit the a.
Of
course there is only one saviour and mediator, and that is Jesus Christ.
The introduction to all of my documents,
including this one,
explains this precise statement.
Acts 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to
be a Prince and a
Saviour,
for to give
repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Notice that as mentioned previously above, forgiveness
and repentance,
is part and parcel of ‘Counting it all Joy’.
The apostles were speaking to the top religious
authorities of Biblical Israel in the world,
and they said that Christ’s death allowed Israel to repent, and
to have forgiveness of sins.
Of
course this applies to all mankind.
The apostles then said that they were
witnesses of these events,
as was the Holy Spirit, which is none
other than Christ,
who dwells in those who obey Him.
Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things;
and so is also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to
them that obey him.
Satan seems to use the same old system
repeatedly once he has found
that it works. Read Ezekiel Chapter 34 and you will see how Satan’s religious
and political shepherds, of all types
work. Almost every time that you see a terrorist attack,
you will see that an exercise for the
very same event, has just taken place.
It is the rich and the super rich
trillionaires, billionaires, who lust and covet,
and plunder the poverty of the poor.
James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God
chosen the poor of this world
rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath
promised to them that love him?
James 2:6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you,
and draw you before
the judgment seats?
James 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for
your miseries
that shall come upon you.
The High Priest and his lackeys were so
very angry they started to plot
how they could kill all of the apostles.
Acts 5:33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart,
and took counsel to
slay them.
Acts 5:34 Then stood there up one in the council, a
Pharisee, named Gamaliel,
a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the
people,
and commanded to put the apostles forth a little
space;
Gamaliel then warned them that they were
playing with fire.
Only an absolute fool would fight
against the Eternal God,
but guess what? Many people do just that as they try to get their
own way.
This
is not a good idea, it is a course of action that will no only fail,
and
it can lead to a swift or slow demise.
Acts 5:39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it;
lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
They agreed, with what Gamaliel said,
but as they were wicked lackeys of Satan,
they first had them beaten. Then they
let them go.
Acts 5:40 And to him they agreed:
and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them,
they commanded that they should not speak in the name
of Jesus, and let them go.
Pilate did the very same thing, after he
said that he found no fault in Christ.
He had him beaten without mercy, until
He was unrecognisable.
Then he had Christ delivered to the Jews
to be crucified.
Luke 23:4 Then said Pilate to the chief
priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
Luke 23:16 I will therefore chastise him,
and release him.
What did the apostles do?
They
counted it all joy.
They
were not collapsed on the ground rolling around in pain
Acts 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council,
rejoicing that they were counted
worthy to suffer shame for his name.
They completely ignored the High Priest
and his evil companions,
and continued to teach and preach
tirelessly everywhere.
Acts 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in
every house,
they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
The Deacon Stephen was also a great
servant of the Eternal God,
and he was used to perform many mighty
miracles.
Some lying Jews confronted, and made
false accusations against him.
Acts 6:9
Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue
(a Satan of Synagogue really)
of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians,
and of them of Cilicia and of Asia,
disputing with Stephen.
Stephen then gave them a powerful
history lesson whilst his face
shone like an angel.
Acts 6:15 And all that sat in the council,
looking stedfastly on him,
saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
Stephen was direct and very blunt.
He pulled no punches whatsoever.
To their faces he called them
persecutors, betrayers, and murderers.
Acts 6:51 ¶ Ye stiff necked and uncircumcised
in heart and ears,
ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers
did, so do ye.
Acts 6:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted?
and they have slain them which shewed before of the
coming of the Just One;
of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
Was Deacon Stephen worried about them?
Not in the slightest.
His focus was elsewhere.
Stephen was literally
in a condition of great Joy.
He saw the heavens open, and saw the magnificent glory of the Father and
Christ.
Acts 6:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked
up stedfastly into heaven,
and saw the glory of God, and Jesus
standing on the right hand of God,
Acts 6:56 And
said, Behold, I see the heavens opened,
and the Son of man standing on the right
hand of God.
Acts 6:57
Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears,
and ran upon him with one accord,
Acts 6:58
And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid
down
their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.
Deacon Steven said, Lord Jesus receive my
spirit.
He knew that he did not have a soul.
Acts 6:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God,
and saying,
Lord Jesus, receive my
spirit.
Stephen did not say that he forgave his
murderers.
He asked the Eternal God not to count his
murder against his murderers.
Once again we see forgiveness is up to God.
If we are struggling with forgiveness,
then we need to pray and ask
the Eternal God to give us the spirit of
forgiveness.
As I said earlier, like Love, Peace,
Wisdom, Forgiveness, Repentance, Patience
these are attributes of God,
His Good and Perfect gifts.
Acts 6:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud
voice,
Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.
And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Are the words ‘Count it all Joy’ a
sort of Mantra, with magical powers,
which will solve all of our problems?
No not at all.
I have already mentioned that Christ dwells in all
genuine believers,
as the Holy Spirit.
This means that whatever we are suffering, He also
feels,
so He is totally aware in a most intimate way of our
physical condition.
It also means that the source of every good and
perfect gift,
is already in us, but we are not as aware of it as we
can be.
The apostle Peter admonished us to grow in grace and
knowledge,
and this document gives some precise instructions to
do just that.
2 Peter 3:18 But
grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
How can we do that?
From the evidence shown, it certainly seems that when
we “count it all Joy”,
we remove ourselves from being the centre of
attention,
and by obeying what we are told to do, our focus
becomes Christ centred.
Once again the key
is obedience.
Because we are obeying a command, ‘count it all joy’,
everything changes.
This is taking not only our understanding, but our
entire quality of life,
to a new and much higher level, than we could ever
imagine,
especially when our circumstances are very dire.
We will experience the joy of Christ in
a real tangible way.
To me this is an absolutely astounding
piece of understanding.
I can see how this will reduce our
stress, our blood pressure,
and countless ailments.
It enables us to deal with the most severe trauma,
even death.
It seems that the pain and suffering is over ridden by
joy.
This seems to be a major pointer in how we can, and
will operate in the future.
It needs to be clear that this is not by our own
strength,
but rather by Christ as the Holy Spirit dwelling in
us.
So let us “count it all Joy”.
When any difficulties come your way,
speak out the fact that you regard
this difficulty as an opportunity for great joy.
This will be priceless when we have to operate in the
world
after we return from The Wedding Feast at the Throne.
Even now your entire attitude and quality of life will
change.
