For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. James 3:16
For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. Job 5:2,3
Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. Proverbs 23:17
..And the Devil deceives the world with his problem. His hatred.. his envy of God. Isn’t it awful, this is why there’s going to be such torment in Hell. When man goes to Hell he will see that the Devil put that on him. He believed the Devil’s lie, he believed the devils problem. He rejected the good news of the Gospel that he could be delivered from that. That is what’s so heinous about all of this.. That is why the church is a light set on a hill – why the Gospel is such a good news. Let God put that boldness within our hearts and tongues to share this good news, because look what’s going to happen to man. ‘ Guard Your Hearts Against Envy. ‘
The Devil’s Lie
He’s believing the Devil’s lie.. [destined for] the severest punishment.. Do you know the Lake of Fire and Brimstone – hell – was not created for man, it was created for Satan and the Fallen Angels. But man will land in that place as well. We will never understand God’s heart over this – something He will never fully reveal. We don’t know whether God can have a broken heart in that sense. Manifested in His son Jesus Christ – yes he has. His heart was broken on that cross as He became that sin bearer taking the sin of the world upon His shoulder.
Such Good News
His heart was broken as His Father turned His face away from Him as He took in His flesh the sin of the world. ‘ My God, my God why have you forsaken me? ‘ But that was the wisdom and heart of God reconciling us back to Almighty God. All what Satan had done. That is why I make so much of the Gospel because it is such good news to those being saved – and we are being saved. It’s good news because we’re here today – we want to listen to it. We want to get that change – that deliverance. We don’t want that envy afflicting – holding us back.. ..
..Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 1:29-32
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 1Peter 2:1,2
