JEALOUSY, IT'S A CRUEL THING

[divinelyinspired]

Greetings to all my beautiful sisters of P.W.I.,

There is a nasty spirit that is attacking the women in the Body of Christ and it needs to be addressed. The Lord has pressed upon my heart to have an open discussion on this at my church, where I am the women's department president. I just wanted to know if there is anyone out there that would be real and come forth with their story, with their deliverance, and/or with a situation you might be dealing with now.

Jealousy is destroying relationships, marriages, churches, friendships, and so on. King Solomon wrote in the Book Songs of Solomon that it cruel as the grave and the coals thereof are coals of fire with a most vehement flame.

How do we as leaders address this topic? The floor is open. What can we do to make sure that this spirit doesnt operate in us?

Let's deal with it!

Hello Ladies! I would like to respond to Pastor Brodie 's article on Jealousy. I think we ladies should have alot to stay about jealosy. Most of us have dealt with jealosy on some level in life. I agree with Pastor Brodie that jealousy is killing ministries across the land. We must being to deal with this issue realistically, and meet the challenge head on,holding back no punches. I can't understand why jealousy is on a rampage in the churches especially in church leadership , we of all people should set the example, and truly lead the way
in being ambassadors for Christ. If you truly serve a God of life. Let us walk in the light and not fulfill the lust of the flesh. knowing this my friends let us put off all filthiness of flesh and put on Christ. That we may bear much fruit.

Greetings to everyone, I stand in agreement with these sisters. The spirit of jezebel is on the prowl in the church today. We need to walk more in the spirit and die daily to the flesh, For the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

As members of the body of Christ we each have a function of operating with in the body. If each member would function in the area where we have been ordained, destined, and called to operate in then this jealousy spirit would die.

Most Leaders in the church are trying to out do each other and get the praise and glory for themselves, But if the focus is on God then it would'nt be any competition within the body. We need more prayer in the church for the leaders, because if the enemy can attack the head of the church then the body will slowly become weakened and eventually will die.

Let's continue to pray for the leaders of the church and the members and if we stand together as one body we will become more effective for the Kingdom of God.

His Faithful Servant.

I pray that many blessings and peace be sent to each Woman In Ministry in this day. I agree with you all that the spirit of Jezebel is running rampant in ministries today. I can speak on jealousy because it is something that I dealt with in the past and now have overcome by the grace of God. I believe that in each day we should wake up asking God to equipp us with the spiritual weapon we need to fight within the day and put on the full armour, we as women must pray and pray in those tongues daily, we must pray always, it does not matter where you pray just do it. I was given a revelation by my Apostle and Overseer on how to overcome this spirit and I would like to share it with you, because it worked. We as women have been counted out by the enemy when it comes to being united, but that is what God wants to do in this day and time, We play a key role in what God wants to do so of course the enemy wants to stop that. But now we are going to go after him, before he comes after us, what we must do is began to ask God about those things in our lives that he is trying to surface and we keep putting it off saying that it is the enemy, sometimes we will say that we have dealt with a thing and we have not and some things that took place in our lives have been suppressed and we have forgotten all about them. Everytime you find yourself wondering what the next woman's problem is you should go to God and pray and ask him Lord what is my problem, what is it that you want to deal with me on, because I should not feel this way about my sister in Christ. I promise you if each time you began to think that it is the next womans problem even if in the natural it is ask God to show you in the spirit what is it within you that would cause you to feel a reaction like the one you are having. Began to bind up the spirit of intimidation look up that definition it goes right with this all. Each time you find yourself wanting to walk away from a situation that you should deal with even if it seems small, it takes nothing away from you for someone to say that seems petti it is the small foxes that spoiles the bunch allow them to say what they may, God is going to bring you into a position of more humility, so that the office he has called you into will be a Blessing to him and not cause shame unto him and your ministry. See the enemy wants to wait until you get into full operation then he will try to come after you with the things you did not deal with, deal with them and watch the praise reports began to come forth. Don't be quick to respond to things, never try to prove your side wants you answer the question or confront a thing leave it alone a watch God work. Each time you find yourself wanting to avoid another Woman in Ministry go to them in humility, show them love and even if they began to talk about you or seems as if that spirit within them is constantly after you go for it don't shut down no matter how uncomfortable it feels. Keep doing it and the humility and blessings that God brings to your life will be amazing. Also where you find your self going to male with issues find another woman you can trust and began to talk with them team up and it will began to spread unity not only within your ministry, but all around you. It will be challenging at first, but I promise if you do this it will change your whole life. Began to talk with your women on how easy it is for the men to be unified no matter what state they are in and open yourself up as the book they can read and watch, for the calling that's on our lives we have nothing to had, make sure you don't put it all out at once, but allow God to do it and I promise he will that thing that you don't want to share is what he wants out there. Talk to women about how to deal with their sexuality it is warm outside and single and married women must stay focused be straight forward in talking about the midnight hour, the clothing, the phone and staying single and satisfied, etc. Everything that we as women are so called ashamed to talk about, but is the one thing that tries to place a foothole in our lives.

Greetings my dear sisters!

This is most definetly a hot topic for sure. Something that all have experienced to some degree or measure. I look forward to others sharing their hearts on this subject.

Jealousy/envy if not dealt with could easily ruin one's life. It eats away at you like a cancer. There is a root cause for it and it must be dealt with at the root, otherwise it ends up as being a strongman in one's life.

As a testimony of God's deliverance in my life, this use to haunt me continually and I couldnt understand why. Till one day I found out I had a deep root of rejection. I recall going to prayer lines wanting relief and even received a prophetic word about it. What gave me hope when I heard that prophetic word was that Jesus said that He is removing it completely from my life. I was in bondage for many years even when I became born again and in my early walk. What did it for me was His Love that kept pouring out upon me again and again removing that root and with it all the other bad branches. I knew I was delivered when I had great peace in my heart. I was filled with assurance and confidence within my heart and mind on the matter. I then saw myself differently and others as well.

Once your delivered it will come and visit you, and you do recognize it when it comes. It is then you stay your ground on the deliverance. The strongman wants to come back and if you yield ot it, your state becomes far more worse than the first time. When you have tasted God's goodness in this, no way do you want to go back to that torment. Yes, it must be dealt with, the sooner the better.

For those who are dealing with this prsently, I want to encourage you the more to lean and trust in The Lord and He will deliver you from it. Jealousy/envy, has nothing good to offer you nor does it care for you. God cares for you and wants you to be set free. If He did it for so many others, He most certainly will do it for you. You are valued in God's Kingdom, you do have a place in His service. He has planned and maped out everything for your life. There is plenty of room in His Kingdom. He will bring you out to bring you into His Freedom, Joy, Love and Peace of heart and mind. All this goodness simply because He loves you,

He says, "you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Your substance was not hid from Him, when you were made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. His eyes did see your substance, yet being unperfect; and in His book all your members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. How precious also are His thoughts unto you. How great is the sum of them! If you should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when you awake, He is still with you." How precious are His thoughts towards you, how precious! Perfect love will make you perfect lacking nothing and wanting nothing. How great is His love and His thoughts towards you! How great they are!!! Gloooooryyyy!!!! Reach out and receive and walk in The Liberty which He is calling you to walk in!

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ fill you with His Presence and Love and cause you walk in Victory!!!
