Jealousy is a Relationship Killer

Those who possess jealousy desire to believe evil about the one of whom they are jealous.

The desire to believe evil of the target by the jealous one, creates lies in their minds that reflect their own attitude while attributing these evils to the target.

Jealous ones assign negative attributes to the one they hate. If a target gets a new car the jealous one will spread gossip that the car was stolen or purchased on credit. Even without knowing anything about the car, the finances or anything else the gossiper will assign evil to the actions of the target.

The jealous one might tell others that we are prideful for buying a new car, even if the car was used. They will develop ideas in their own minds that accuse the target of evil in all that the target says and does, even if what they have done was a good thing.

When a jealous person hates their target they will interpret everything the target says and does as bad, mean or ignorant.

It is true that our mindset motivates our words and actions. if someone is rebellious and the target exposes that rebellion then the jealous one will act according to their chosen idea about their target.

Those who refuse to seek truth will always be angry at a prophet for their straightforward answers based on God's Word.

Proverbs 6:34
"For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge."

It has been my experience that the most rebellious people are those who will accuse the target of being mean or hateful while the jealous one is acting in mean and hateful ways. The jealous one gives themselves away by the accusations they level against others.

1 Corinthians 13:4-5
"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;"

1 Corinthians 3:3
"For you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?"

Romans 12:2
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."

There is only one way for the jealous one to be delivered from this relationship killer, that is to confess it and ask God to drive it from them.

Job 5:2
"Surely vexation kills the fool, and jealousy slays the simple."

All jealousy will lead to self destruction if it is not destroyed by God through His power. He will only do that if the jealous one wants it removed.

Romans 12:1-2
"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
