Spirits of Envy and Jealousy


Envy, jealousy, and covetousness will take your eyes off God and put them on a person, a place or a thing. That is idolatry! God will not share us with any false gods or idols. Whatever you worship will become your god and, in His jealousy. God will release you to your own devices without any protection whatsoever. If an idol becomes your god, then that god will have to take care of you. That's the danger of idolatry. It's not a good trade-off. What does the Bible say about it? Proverbs 14:30; Job 5:2; Proverbs 27:4; Romans 1:28-31; Mark 7:20-23; Galatians 5:19-21

Covetousness. Covetousness is to long for wrongly, with greed or avarice (Luke 12:15, Deuteronomy 5:21). Godliness with contentment, however, is great gain (1 Timothy 6:5, Matthew 6:33)! Be content with what you have (Hebrews 13:5)! Nature of Envy and Jealousy. It has you comparing
yourself to other people. You can't win because there will always be someone richer, smarter, etc. It makes others into Idols - "If I can only be like so and so." (Acts 10:34, Psalms 37:1, Proverbs, 3:31; 24:1). It is not trusting God's timing, and keeps you from being content with what you have. Other people's envy can steal your joy! The enemys goal is to separate and divide and to keep you out of

the body of Christ. He wants to destroy relationships, families, marriages. Listening to envy and jealousy produces STRIFE; not listening to it produces PEACE! (James 3:16; Hebrews 13:5; Luke 12:15; Galatians 5:25-26)

Ministering against Envy and Jealousy


It all begins with Relationship and then Recognition coming from Discernment. The teaching and ministry must focus on God; He must remain the source of our desires, not what others have or don't have. God will not bless us in our sins, but when we fall out of agreement, hate it, take responsibility for it in our generations, then its power can be broken. There must be true repenting and forgiveness. See the Ministry Resource on the back of this sheet. Also consider the case study in A More Excellent Way of the lady healed of osteoporosis.
