New Testament Come Follow Me (James 1-5) JAMES'S JELLYBEANS (Nov 13-19)

[@kathrynquinn6889]

Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only. After 73 years, I’m still trying to incorporate this into my life. Maybe I’ll get it, the next 73 years.

[@simplyme14h84]

People say to me why did you take two others into my home. My son's fiancé, and my brother. She needs a job and my brother needs to not be so foul & rude and I wish he would stop drinking. It goes beyond me. I thought I would be a good influence on him and her. All I can do is give to God. I am also coming to the point of I want to move to Canada due to what is happening here. I think it is more than just the TEN commandments. Jesus guides us when we allow it. "Faith without works is dead"

[@bradjames891]

James 1:5. Other than Isaiah 9:6, my favorite Scripture.

[@auraeros]

Takes a James to know a James! 😊that’s my maiden name ❤His words are so uplifting.

[@bradjames891]

My comment of the week: Thank goodness that my brethren in Elders Quorum are kind to me as a bachelor. Thanks to moms who let me hold their babies for them. Thanks to Steve and Chelsea for helping me feel the Spirit. Three sentences.

[@aidaolivares3907]

We love you for your humility and kindness, and strong testimonies. You are true followers of Christ

[@SteveScott10]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

[@eriku571]

I gained a lot from James 1:12 this week. It brought me to think about thinking Celestial and working through temptations by changing them from carnally pleasing to heavenly pleasing habits.

[@lorilowry4853]

Thanks guys again. I love your comments and James comments especially on faith. Our faith moves us to do that which is good. It is the doing of our faith that brings great blessings to our lives. You mentioned seeing your missionary. We too had the honor to see our missionary while he is serving. When the New Zealand Temple was dedicated all the missionaries who was not able to be endowed before entering the field was taken to the temple and we were invited to attend that session with our missionary. The joy to see our missionary run down the sidewalk into his fathers arms was so touching. And all this because of the doing part of faith made it all possible. Love you all

[@SteveScott10]

Yes! Such a sacred moment. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@RobinFarmer-t5y]

Something my institute teacher says that I think is awesome every time we end our class...... He says, " May the Lord bless you, and may the devil miss you"

[@SteveScott10]

Love that!

[@marleeriggin996]

I think real faith does motivate people to action-each is not mutually exclusive-they are companions.

[@earlscoville]

My comment is the world needs more Steve and Chelsea Scott !!! I love the book of James and wow we can understand what he is telling us. A servant of the Lord is telling us to do these things. we should just do it and not murmur. Thank you for the beautiful lesson. Love you bye !

[@connerreisner9235]

My comment of the week is James 3,4: knowing this that the trying of your faith worketh patience but let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire wanting nothing It’s hard to want nothing but I’m learning as I go of continually being patient while serving the lord thank you so much for your come follow me it helps me to learn more and better understand my come follow me!

[@stephanierobinson4579]

So exciting so glad you got to see your missionary. I have two out one has been out for five months and my other son has been out for 17 months . So that makes my mama heart happy that you got to see your son . Missionaries are amazing and what they are doing is incredible.

[@mellyhotz6904]

Thank you so much for your insights. I teach the youth Sunday School in our little branch in South Dakota. I love the jellybeans idea! I thought I would put some jellybeans in little baggies and attach various scriptures from James to them. The youth can then choose a bag of jellybeans, read the scripture, and lead the class in a discussion about the scripture they have chosen. Thank you for the idea, and keep up the good work.

[@SteveScott10]

That’s a great idea!

[@myrnahammer9847]

James 4:7. Submit yourself therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Thats a great piece of advice and a great promise! Thanks for the good lesson today!

[@SteveScott10]

Love that one! So many good ones!

[@anaruiz1192]

Thank you for sharing your experience of your trip and the small reunion with your missionary son. Always make me ponder and learn more to be a doer

[@stefanielittlefield2202]

I love in James 1:5-6 that James gives us permission to “ ask” in faith. Our God wants to hear from us. I think some think we shouldn’t have questions, but through questions we find answers. and find truth. And through trials is when I can testify that Our Heavenly Father holds us closer… during struggles is when Jesus Christ hugs us deeper and longer. We don’t need to go through these things alone! Life is so much better with Jesus!

[@SteveScott10]

Amen! Thank you

[@benitaharline]

I’m pretty sure James 1:5 is a lot of people’s favorite this week. I love knowing that we, like Joseph Smith, can ask God anything and He will tell us through the Holy Ghost. That is very awesome, don’t ya think? Love and appreciate you guys very much! And how amazing was that, to hug your missionary in London!!! Tender mercies right there!!! ❤🙏🏻🥹

[@SteveScott10]

James 1:5 changed the world! Thanks Benita!

[@jenniferkwan7014]

I was reminded how closely being patient and having faith in Jesus Christ are related. As I let go and surrender to what is in the moment, then peace comes in the midst of some of the messy of life. Grateful. Thanks for all you both do.

[@SteveScott10]

Yes! Great insight!

[@lindawallace4426]

The trip that was canceled that you had planned for yourselves on was not THE planned trip the Lord just brought you home from. So happy for you!!

[@SteveScott10]

Yes it was better! ❤️

[@juleepalmer4444]

I think it would be impossible for me to narrow it down to one this week. I was touched in my heart by so many verses during my studies this week. I think James is one of my favorite books to study and I love how it helps me to ponder where I can do better. Thank you for your wonderful lesson! I also LOVE the popcorn jelly belly flavor!

[@rubythorndike982]

I like about faith and James and listening you two.

[@piggylover828mona]

I am part of your coaching group. When you bore witness to us that God needs us to do what we are inspired to do to help His work move forward. It pierced my heart like a lightening bolt. We are all here working our way back home. We are called to love and nurture. God gives us life experiences to help us love and nurture. My jellybeans are 1) Love and 2) Nurture

[@GregRoche-v7d]

James 3:10 - As I’ve gotten older and tried to manage my emotions I’ve realized that the mouth is the outlet for emotions. If we can manage and tame our emotions then those hurtful things won’t come out and we’ll be able to share blessings out of our mouth instead of cursings.

[@SteveScott10]

Very true! I can teach you how. Come find me on FB Chelsea Carter Scott 😊

[@bradjames891]

I cannot get in a rhythm at work because you two keep declaring remarkable truths that I must testify of instantaneously. Thanks for listening to the Spirit, both of you!

[@auraeros]

I love that you asked for comments & feel special to be a part of this community. My jellybean was like Joseph’s & is not from James, although I have a special place in my heart for the words of James. Mine was the verse given to Joseph’s father from D&C 4: 5 And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work. Yum…My favorite flavors!!!!

[@johndrumm5979]

You are spot on! These five chapters of James are chock-full of jellybeans ! Chapter 5:13 asks: "Is there any among you afflicted? Let him pray...." Verse 16: The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." I have a testimony of the power and efficacy of prayer. I am grateful to be able to draw closer to my Heavenly Father and my Savior, Jesus Christ, through this precious privilege of prayer. Though I don't like jellybeans, I appreciate the lesson, Chelsea and Steve! Love ya! Bye!

“Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can-working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!” ~Dieter F. Uchtdorf

[@karylmoncur6657]

James 1:5 is and is will always be a favorite. The things we can do it we ask god and listen. And also vs 19. Is we are swift to hear and slow to speak. So much chaos around us that we need to sit in stillness and listen.

[@RalphErnestHollingshead]

My patriarchal blessing tells me I have the gift of healing, among other gifts. James 5:14-15 has always been a favorite passage that gives me strength and encouragement when I go out to give a priesthood blessing.

[@HaroldBarson]

I gain a lot of insights about learning how to ask our Father in heaven, what questions I have for me and my family, and taking the time to listen for the answers. thanks for service.

[@SteveScott10]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@bluefish849]

Thank you for the wonderful spirit you bring into my home each week!

[@smarkl54bbin]

I really love James 1:5 but one of my favorite scriptures in James is James 1: 27 about pure religion. There are so many good scriptures in the Book of James

[@karyncurr28]

Just a thought… it’s not just the words we use, we have to control our emotions so that we are in the right spirit and our words are said in the right way.

[@SteveScott10]

Interesting thought…

[@nancyglazier4549]

My daughter told me about your channel and it was delightful to watch it today with James his jellybeans! Such a cute way to teach the gospel and I think it would really turn the kids on with this type of insight and creativity with the Scriptures! Thank you for all your studying and all you do to bring the gospel to light smiles sister Glazier 🎶

You are welcome 🙏🏻

Brecken loved the “Belly Flop” and wanted me to comment! Thanks for all you do to motivate this 11 yr old to participate in gospel study! ❤

[@ginnamaggard1193]

So glad you were able to have such a wonderful trip. So glad you were able to see your son for a bit of time. Thank you for sharing your jellybeans! I had a good friend and client have some health challenges this week and the scripture that came was really powerful was James 5:16…pray one for another, that ye may be healed. She is not of our faith, but a very spiritual woman, it is an honor to talk with our Heavenly Father in behalf of our friends and family when they need it.

[@SteveScott10]

Ginna! How did I miss this scripture? Thank you for sharing so powerful!

[@ginnamaggard1193]

@@SteveScott10 you didn’t midd it Steve! It was one of your jellybeans too❤️

Stephen. Chelsea, thank you so much for all you do to help me understand that the Lord is trying to communicate with me the things which I should do meaning action actions of faith I like that thank you.

[@SteveScott10]

Your welcome James!

[@JonHalle]

I have gotten a lot from James this week thanks for sharing, loved you both.❤

[@sandydavis539]

I loved this lesson! So many scriptures that are motivating me to do, but the one prompting I've had is to learn Spanish better. I've tried several times, but classes have been canceled. This reminded me I still need to do this. I looked up the college classes for credit. Those won't be cancelled. January 6th I'll be ready😊

[@SteveScott10]

Awesome!

[@janellemorris2612]

Comment of the week 💫 Powerful lesson. James Chp 1v 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above .... Like the simplicity of this scripture Glad you enjoyed your holiday.Janelle 🇦🇺

[@BLUElinius]

Thank you for the lesson and inspirations you shared! Nteresting to think on inspirations that I already resaved and there are one in partucular, that I was too afraid to keep doing. From you I learned this week that I still can act on that. And from your previous lessons I keep learning to invite God in all I do, in all efforts, share with God all my strugles, and ask for dirrections. So this is still in progress. You are my favorite youtube chanel! I am so happy that you Steve, acted on your inspiration from God, and keeep blessing so many people. And thank you Chelsee, every word from you is light🎉

[@tracyhenderson6444]

Another great lesson. In addition to reading the scriptures and the "Come Follow Me" manual, read the New Testament Student Manual. It is available in the Gospel library if you don't have the print edition.

[@ppbrownb]

My Jelly Bean is James 1:22 “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”💕 Just Do It!!!

[@kathrynquinn6889]

Muy bueno. Very appropriate use of Spanish.

[@bradjames891]

Chelsea with the good attitude about James' familial situation. Hooray, Chelsea!

[@jamesolsen9026]

4:7 Submit yourself therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. When overcoming an addiction I had to tell Satan to leave me alone and then pray for the strength to resist the temptation. That works!

[@SteveScott10]

Yes it does! Thanks for sharing James

[@bradjames891]

"Without partiality" manifests that Christ is not a respecter of persons, as we know. The Godhead esteems everyone as the same. We are all Father's children. That's an important distinction, Chelsea. Thanks for listening to the Spirit as you always do :)

[@bradjames891]

This is silly but: I could not get my basketball statistical program to work properly and I prayed to Father in Heaven about it. He then revealed to me what I had to do. It's like Amulek said: we should pray over temporal things as well.

[@patriciasegura-marin2329]

Muy bueno= very good 😊

[@marygaeperkins]

James 1:2-4 Fire turns iron into steel. Trials can either make us or break us. I want to be stronger.

Strong winds strong trees!

[@GregRoche-v7d]

This is Greg and I just commented for the 2nd time on your channel on James 3:10. My wife and I have listened to you since you started your channel.and We just want to let you know we appreciate your lessons and insights. Greg and Jody, Yelm WA

[@SteveScott10]

Hello Greg! Thank you

[@bradjames891]

James is one of my names, of course :) Also, my Denver Broncos won on Monday Night Football against Buffalo. Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson quoted James 1:2 during remarks to my fellow reporters. He is a good fellow Christian and a good leader. He'll join us in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints someday.

[@marleeriggin996]

That would be interesting to see. As a Washingtonian, I loved Russell Wilson-and then he followed more money. 😢

[@judymacc]

My verse is verse 19:Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath!! My biggest sin, temptation is Overreacting!!!! Working on it!!!

[@ardellahall9681]

Thank you for sharing, that is something that I have to work on too.

[@kimweierman149]

I stopped this podcast when something you said triggered a thought ( I have those sometimes! LOL!). I sent a quick text to a family member who is having trouble in their marriage. I asked them to dwell on one thing that they KNOW is true about the Savior on their long commute home today. Then, base their thoughts, communications, and actions on that one thing. I don't know if they will do it but at the very least, I acted! Thank you for ALL your time and efforts!

[@bradjames891]

I have said numerous incorrect things. Thankfully, I repent and Christ's grace bolsters me. You see? That's how grace really works.

[@christinebottoms9293]

My jellybean was James 1-4. I love Chelsea’s comment about Patience being a great teacher. Btw my favorite jellybean is pineapple 😊

Yum mine is peach 🍑

[@FriendlyTalking2]

I love the yellow ones

[@simplyme14h84]

Thank you so much. Just listening again. God has blesses me with patience. I raised a beautiful autistic son. now 26. Trial of Faith. Especially with the school he was in. The psychologist there said he's not autistic he is mentally retarded. IT took God holding me back not to climb over the table, but I did tell her to get out! and called the Board on her. It was also when I joined the Church :) The next school wasn't that good either. Bullied terribly he stopped showering They moved him to transitions, they did nothing for him. He needs 4 classes now to finish his AA in graphic arts. He is very electronically inclined and is engaged.

[@ardellahall9681]

Chelsea can you share the title of the talk you referenced by Elder Jaggi? James 4:10 As I humble myself then God will lift me up.

[@SteveScott10]

It’s in the Manuel I am sorry I can’t remember what it’s called

[@bradjames891]

James: 1:27, pure religion. That's what the Lord expects us to do.

[@FriendlyTalking2]

I wish I had met you in London. I'm not far from London

[@judymacc]

I like cinnamon jelly beans!! My husband likes black licorice ones and spice ones!!! So we prefer SPICE jelly beans! The word of the week is- "You surprised us". I sent Chelsea a photo of a yellow highlighter in messenger!!

[@nettajar1938]

My COMMENT: When you were talking about James 1:22-27; "being hearer of the word", it made me think, maybe I'm not hearing what they are trying to convey. You know. Like I'm misinterpreting what they are saying. Just a thought. ~ Steve, when you talked about "how many of you have a friend, they joined the church and all a sudden they're made like a primary teacher and they're like, what the heck, I've never taught anything in my life." Well . . . that kind of happened to me, except, they called be BEFORE I converted!!! ~ Chelsea, when you were talking about moving out of your "comfort zone", I've looked back on my life. I've done things that I didn't want to do, but through Heavenly Father's love for me (and a kick in the pants), I did it!! ~ Things that I got out of this lesson (word/phrases): Patience; Doers of the Word; just do it ~ Peace ~ Faith ~ Priesthood. The Book of James should have a sub-title "Father of Lights". It brings so much hope and peace to my soul. Thank you both. Just so you know, I love every Jelly Belly that Heavenly Father has given me, even the chastisements 😥, but especially the many, many blessings, that I don't deserve 😃

[@bradjames891]

Yes, Steve. Evangelical Christianity is like how my fellow reporters do much of their reporting, sadly. They accentuate certain truths but don't tell the whole story. We all need Christ's grace but if we stop acting, we become Satan's slaves. Grace and works work in tandem. Anyone who does not see that is being deceived.

[@bradjames891]

I like Starburst jellybeans.

[@pattilamb1295]

"Cuz no one eats the yellow ones" ... LOLOL ... no, no one eats the ORANGE ones!! 🤢 Love you, crazy!! 💙💙

[@SteveScott10]

Haha

[@lilianreilly2266]

And you didn't come to our branch Coleraine in northern Ireland or visit with me in Ballymoney, really explain yourself

[@ComeFollowScripture]

James 4:1-3 - Our desires for pleasures and gratification are often at war in our minds and hearts. We often seek in our daily lives for things that are not good for us and are certainly not the will of the Father, but we don't bother to ask. When we do ask, we ask amiss for things that are only lusts (desires, or wants). We need to seek for those things that are the will of the Father to give to us, and then we will not go amiss and we can "come boldly to the throne of grace." (sorry for going back to Hebrews). See Helaman 10:4-6 to see the great power that Nephi had because God knew that he could trust him, and he would not ask for anything that was not pleasing to the Lord. I am trying to get to that point in my own prayers and pleadings with the Lord.

[@kathrynquinn6889]

Jelly Belly’s are a brand of jelly beans. Popcorn is the worst!

[@lindakessler7167]

Licorice

[@pennymeyers7025]

Just a "little" clarification. Jellybeans, Jellybellies and Harry Potter Berti Bots every flavor beans are different and you are mixing them up. Jellybeans are different colors, but have slight basic fruit flavors that correlate with the fruit color. Jellybellies have harder shells are smaller and comes in variety of flavors like popcorn, rootbeer, watermelon, etc. But not gross flavors. HP Berti Bots every flavor beans have the harder shell like the above, but they have EVERY flavor. Good and gross. Peppermint, cherry, chocolate, etc and ones like spinach, liver, boogers, vomit, etc... The acting on the prompting quickly and not procrastinating rang true to me.

[@SteveScott10]

Haha Penny! Why are you such a Jelly bean genius?!
