INTRODUCTION
This is one of the most important issues concerning the daily life of the Christian, because it directly involves your walk and your story . Envy is a powerful weapon of the devil , used to destroy lives , this weapon is so demonic that can trazersérios damage to a person's life victim of envy and can destroy family, employment and even life of the person , we need to understand that envy is a satanic spirit sent from hell to disrupt people's souls is why we have to take a spiritual attitude and use the weapons of God to destroy this evil force . Many people were victims of envy and are with their lives destroyed and only the power of God can undo the works of the devil .
WHAT IS IN FACT THE ENVY ?
Envy is a feeling of the soul that desires to possess what others have , thus acting envious focuses on a person determined to be like her, dress like her , to have what she has , thus is able to do many sacrifices paraatingir your goal , this can go up in the family , as the envious or jealous may invest up to take the husband or wife of another , it's a sickening feeling , the person who owns it is emotionally disturbed and in need of liberation . Generally thought of an envious person is more or less like this : " What a beautiful machine, where you bought ? " That has the intention to go buy the same clothes , the other case is this: " What a beautiful home, I liked a lot." With desejode have a home equal . When it comes to the other partner is more or less like this : "I wanted to have a husband that " or " I wish I had a wife that ."
At this point the demons of jealousy begin to work , because the latent power of the soul of the person is active and channeled against outrosliberando like a terribly evil and destructive spiritual power . What we must understand is that we are always in touch with the spiritual world whether people know it or not , we are always engaged in a spiritual atmosphere and our actions make spiritual powers are released , an envious person only releases evil power against other in such a way that it can even kill.
" A sound heart is life to the body , but envy is rottenness to the bones . " ( Proverbs 14 : 30 )
Look what the Holy Spirit is saying to us through this passage , " the healthy feeling ... " , this means that there are good emotions and bad emotions , feelings, feelings that cause destruction and healing, sound sentiment is that which must be the normal Christian life , when a person develops inside healthy feelings , the consequence is that there will be " life for his body," here brings an interesting understanding , if there is evil within us emotions and corrupted unlike life there will be death for the body . In the bible the bones represent the structure of a person davida when envy is present in one's life , this life begins to crumble , rot begins its reign of destruction and life is over, unfortunately this has happened too often and cases victims are seen constantly. Of course the envious will never admit their envy , let alone the disease of your soul , only the power of the Lord Jesus can convince this person to free her and heal her jealousy .
WHERE IS BORN ENVY ?
To understand this feeling is necessary to know what is the principle of envy , because there we can see its operation , as all that is demonic jealousy begins with action of demons , all that is bad in human history began in the heart of Satan , but as this arises in humans ? Well all hell is within man starts with a single seed, it deploys the seed of envy in the human heart , there begins to be generated to develop the envy altogether.
" For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries , fornications, murders, thefts , covetousness , wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness , envy, slander, pride , foolishness. " (Mark 7 : 21,22 )
The heart is the place of departure of all feelings both good and bad many projects , this is the place where Satan works tirelessly to destroy the man, the Lord Jesus in this verse makes it clear that it is the heart inside leaving all kinds of evil then we must follow the counsel of God's word in the book of proverbs .
" Over all that , guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. " ( Proverbs 4 : 23 )
Here we can understand that because of the heart proceed the issues of life , is possible if we are not careful unlike life can leave death, because we know that the physical heart is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body , if it stop happening means that death is physically present , because the blood in the proper word of God is the life blood , the blood that is life is not moving death prevails , as in the spiritual life is not flowing life our heart is a sign that spiritual death is reigning , only a detail unlike the physical , the spiritual heart does not stop, he continues to beat and that the loss is even greater because , when the spiritual heart is not pumping life is pumping death into the whole being of the person , so that we can understand the place of generation and birth of envy is within the heart of man and such feeling, is placed in man by our greatest enemy is the devil . The word of God makes it clear that we must guard our hearts , for it is in no way deceived by the devil , that the whole time is investing heavily to get us out of the focus of God's presence , we must always ask our God to save us, and to our inner so you can always flowing his life in us.
EXAMPLES OF JEALOUSY IN THE BIBLE .
In the Bible there are many examples of envy , so that decided the fate of the victims of jealousy, as we have said jealousy is a destructive feeling, which destroys both its possessor as the victim . Let's see some examples of jealous envy .
1 - THE ENVY OF Philistines TO ISAAC .
" And he had possession of flocks , and possession of herds , and great store of servants , so that the Philistines envied him . " ( Genesis 26 : 14 )
Here in this text we see Isaac being the victim of envy , it was so serious that there was some conflict between Isaac's servants and those people and so great was the problem they asked Isaac to depart away because Isaac was richer than them.
2 - THE ENVY OF BROTHERS OF JOSEPH .
" His brothers envied him , but his father kept this business in your heart . " ( Genesis 37 : 11 )
Here is another very serious case , that point can lead to envy a person , when Joseph's brothers realized a greater affection for his father to Joseph and to complete , Joseph had prophetic dreams , this was the last straw for them begin to plan evil against Joseph, everyone knows the story Joseph went through many tribulations through the jealousy of his brothers .
3 - THE ENVY OF RACHEL .
" When Rachel saw that not sons gave to Jacob , envied her sister, and said unto Jacob, Give me children, except it die . " ( Genesis 30 : 1 )
We know that in the days of the patriarchs and kings polygamy was permitted , ie , the man could marry more than one woman , this time Jacob married two sisters and older children managed to Jacob , however Raquel did not generate children and this made Rachel developed a great envy of her sister , because of her inability to bear children , then we can take many lessons , because some cases of envy comes from rightly incapacidadede right people win in life, just put the eyes in the life the others.
4 - THE ENVY OF ASAFE .
" For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked . " (Psalm 73 : 3 )
Here we see this man of God , who was a renowned singers in David's and one of the great prophets of the time , but in some moment of existential crisis began to envy the rich and wicked people , because in his eyes these people despite wicked and sinful against God remained prosperous and healthy , making the prophet falter because of envy.
5 - REBELS HAD ENVY MEN OF MOSES AND AARON .
" They envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD . " (Psalm 106 : 16 )
In the days of the ministry of Moses , great man of God and Aaron stood with people envy them , but they paid a very high price because of their envy .
6 - Daniel was the victim of envy.
" Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him : and the king thought to set him over the whole realm . "
" Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom , but they could find none occasion nor fault , because he was faithful, neither was it found any error or fault . " ( Daniel 6 : 3.4 )
Because of the excellent life of Daniel , jealousy was awakened in the hearts of evil men , so they conspired against Daniel to destroy it , but God showed his faithfulness to Daniel and his enemies were unmasked .
7 - LEADERS OF ISRAEL HAD ENVY OF JESUS .
" For he knew that for envy the chief priests had delivered him . " ( Mark 15 : 10 )
The leaders of the Jews seeing the thriving ministry of Jesus with all those miracles were taken from envy and did everything possible to destroy Jesus , God used this hatred of Jews to fulfill their purpose in the person of Jesus.
8 - JEWISH LEADERS WITH ENVY OF PAUL .
" But when the Jews saw the multitudes , they were filled with envy , and blasphemously against what Paul was talking about. " ( Acts 13 : 45 )
The apostle Paul was the victim of much envy in the days of his ministry and because of envy enemies of Paul waged a crusade against Paul's life , everywhere that Paul preached there were his pursuers .
WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO A PERSON ENVIOUS ?
What can happen to an envious person is QUETAL person can be destroyed as a result of his jealousy , something we can see in the word of God and take as an example .
" They envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD . " (Psalm 106 : 16 )
When the days of Moses God was guiding the people the way to conduct their lives at that time rises Korah , Dathan and Abiram, who jealous of Moses and Aaron is the head of the people so that the people also stood against Moses and Aaron , their excuse was that they were also chosen by God for the ministry as well as Moses and Aaron, thus making the authority of Moses , that's when they began to fall in the loop therefore stand against God's authority is digging his own grave . The order that these men had was awful .
It happened while he was talking to all these words , that the land was under them split open .
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up with their households , as well as all the men that appertained unto Korah , and all their goods.
They, and all that was went down alive into the pit , and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation .
And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them : for they said, Lest the earth swallow us also to us .
And fire came forth from the LORD , and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense . Figures 16 :31 -35
" And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram , sons of Eliab , the son of Reuben: how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them with their households and their tents , as well as all that subsisted , and them, in the midst of all Israel: " (Deuteronomy 11 : 6 )
Envy is like a snake that created not knowing than an hour will be bitten by it , this is what happened with men that they rose up against Moses for his ministry were jealous and wanted to be in evidence before all the people , it is always well there are many who want to come , get famous and be praised by men .
