“For by GRACE you have been SAVED through FAITH.”

May the living Word of God cast out all FEAR of not being good enough. Our Father equipped us with a Spirit of Boldness for He who abides in us is greater than the Liar’s attempt to deceive us. We repent of any fear and we choose NOT to compare ourselves to others. Through forgiveness we become blamelessly spotless. REMEMBER: God inhabits our praises of Him and others. Satan inhabits our fear, pride, envy, criticism, grumbling and denial that God is in control.❤️ Proverbs 2 “My child, if you accept My words and store up My commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as hidden treasure, then you will understand the FEAR of the Lord and find the KNOWLEDGE of GOD. For the Lord gives WISDOM; from HIS mouth come knowledge and understanding. HE is a SHIELD to those whose walk is blameless, for HE GUARDS the COURSE of the JUST and PROTECTS the WAY of HIS FAITHFUL ones. For WISDOM will enter your HEART, and KNOWLEDGE will be PLEASANT to your SOUL.”

Wisely we choose NOT to envy, but to encourage others. We applaud how God is using their talents. Dead to self, and ALIVE in Christ, we move in His authority and Boldness to bring Him glory. God pours out His favor on the just and unjust. Our Father loves us ALL equally. He does not desire that one soul should perish in the flames of pride, envy or unbelief. Many die and get buried with their God given talent. Do NOT fear success or failure. FEAR GOD and out of reverence to Him and His plan for you, choose this day to serve and honor Him with the dream He gave you. Step out in faith and do and say the uncommon thing. Rise in Him from the grave of fear and doubt. BEWARE of thinking “Nobody can do it as good as I can.” Pride comes first, and God hates pride. The Holy Spirit will move aside whenever our pride expresses. Like David we plead “Father, do not take Your Spirit from me, for I am nothing without You Lord.” We humbly repent of our fears of rejection, and we walk in the Spirit rejoicing. HALLELUJAH

Oh Lord, we praise YOU for there is none like YOU. We purpose and CHOOSE the GLORY of GOD as we look upon all that You created! We know our enemy, Satan and how he pits us against one another. By the blood of the Lamb, Satan is DEFEATED and when ENVY or JEALOUSY is recognized in us or in the speech of another, we STAND in VICTORY and begin to PRAISE GOD for the BLOOD of JESUS. Today we will STUDY our SOUL’s enemy in order to DEFEAT him. We are overcomers by His blood and the word of our testimony. As we speak truth and PRAISE GOD, we REPEL all that whispers doubt, envy or jealousy.

The Holy Spirit reveals all truth

As doers of the Word of God, we obediently repent and pray for one another.

Envy and jealousy are the root of every war, and the WAR for our souls has been WON. We praise God for death has been defeated and we speak with authority against all powers of darkness and they RUN. Father God, we choose to confess our fears, and we cry out knowing You hear us. Holy Spirit infiltrate our hearts and SHINE a light into our depths, into what is not seen — We pray Romans 15:13:  “May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in BELIEVING, so that by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT — together we may ABOUND in HOPE.” In the mighty name of our Lord Jesus, AMEN — WE KEEP THE VICTORY by living and humbly walking in forgiveness.

Divine healing is delivered by our FAITH. We stand on the substance, the ground, the territory of promise, our promised land, the living reality that He who lives in me is greater than a symptom, a diagnosis, a criticism, or doubt. We gladly rise above the circumstance and enter unto the unseen realm of faith in God. We choose NOT to be moved by what we see or feel. We BELIEVE and do NOT doubt. We have the mind of Christ and there is no room for sickness, injury or complaint as we PROCLAIM our healing with PRAISE to GOD for what He has done. We endorsed, we entered into a covenant with God Almighty, to BELIEVE in His Promises, and His living and active Word. We take hold of our contract with Christ by FAITH and we receive our healing of mind, body and spirit. As we choose to Praise God, we set our victory in motion. The PURE, AUTHENTIC JOY of our LORD JESUS repels all dark forces. We choose this DAY to SERVE the KINGDOM OF GOD with our thoughts. Lyrics of LOVE stream through our lips all day long. We intentionally keep our focus on praise and we set our miracles in motion. 2 Chronicles records the victory of Jehosaphat’s triumph through praise. Our deliverance comes through the praise that overflows from our hearts and lips. Like Paul in prison, we sing praise and angels ministers unto us. Psalm 34:1 “The praise of God is in my mouth.” We joyfully choose to praise God instead of worry, or entertaining spirits of doubt. All grumbling about our situations, or symptoms have ceased and are replaced with glorious words of praise. We choose to joyfully live in worship for the abundant life He has given us. We praise God for His victory in us, and for us, and through us. God Almighty is worthy to be praised all the day long. Oh Lord, there is none so powerful, so magnificent as You!  By Your stripes we are healed and set free as your beloved, anointed sons and daughters! Jesus said “It is finished.” and we BELIEVE this to be so for us, and we proclaim it, in Jesus mighty name. All glory to God as we choose to testify of God’s healing power. He has already broken and destroyed all bonds to fear, doubt, guilt, self-bitterness, self-hate, self-condemnation, any unforgiveness and shame. 

PRAY through any Adverse Experiences: Dear Lord Jesus, today I decide and choose to forgive _____for adding to the trauma of (specific event).   I forgive them and cancel any and all debts to me.   In the name of Jesus I cancel all Satan’s authority over me and I come out of agreement with his lies or any part that I played in this adverse experience.   Lord, forgive me for any resentment or bitterness I have held towards (people_______). Because the Father loves them, I choose to forgive them, and out of obedience to God, today I forgive myself. I declare myself free of any bitterness or pain associated with this adverse event.

In the name of Jesus, I cancel Satan’s power and authority over me and I command the fear of (specific_____) to leave me now.  Holy Spirit, come and restore my heart, give me back the peace that the enemy has stolen from me. Cleanse my mind of every smell, image, sound, taste, feeling, pain and every painful memory associated with this trauma.  Remove the shock and trauma from my nervous system, heal my synoptic connections. Renew my mind, balance the chemicals in my brain, change my DNA.  I declare that I am  free.  Holy Spirit, speak Your truth to me.

Whenever our Cry of FAITH wavers, we lose the legal ground of wholeness in Christ as we incited and entertained doubt and fear. WE CHOOSE to renounce the spirit of doubt, we STOP CONFESSING any symptoms and purpose and choose to confess FAITH in Gods finished work on the cross. “MY God is FAITHFUL and His Word NEVER returns VOID. By the BLOOD of the Lamb, zero darkness mixes with the LIGHT that streams through me. All foul spirits have been bound together and have been evicted. My healing is sealed by the blood of the Jesus and the word of my testimony. Amen

“What is God’s will?” He told us plainly — “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” ❤️ Father we thank You for shedding light on the sin of envy. We draw close to You Father and we trust You to complete the work You began in us. AMEN.

We were all made in God’s image and our Father does NOT make junk. Our Father does NOT have favorites, and He only has good things in store for all of us. Out of His great love, our Father forewarns us about the last days. Sin will be rampant, and the love of God will grow cold because of all of the distractions and traps that Satan sets up for mankind. Jealousy and Envy are a just two fingers of the devil. Both lead us into destruction. “Wide is the road to destruction, narrow is the gate, and few find it.”

“My people perish for lack of knowledge.” Hosea READ ON to LEARN so that you can DISCERN with wisdom, all the ways that the ENEMY uses jealousy and envy to destroy our relationship with our Father and with others. We must understand that envy, bitterness, adultery and murder are all equal in God’s eyes. Every sin separates us from God. “It is no longer I myself who do it, but it is the sin living in me.” Romans 7:17

God has no favorites, He looks at the heart, not who is first, not who is last

“Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it.” Proverbs 16:22

God gave mankind free will to choose His way, or to choose the way of Satan or the world. Why did God give us the right to choose? Because He is a good Father, One who desires to be loved by our free choice.

In mankind’s fallen state, it is our nature to act like the devil and covet what others have. Satan’s wickedness is deployed through principalities and powers to place people in bondage. What keeps us from hearing the Holy Spirit? What messes with our discernment between right and wrong? SIN prevents us from close fellowship with the Holy Spirit. The Liar tells us we are justified to feel jealous and angry.

With a lack of knowledge about how Satan works, we can easily be used by the devil as we willingly lash out against those who insulted, offended or hurt us. We can easily blame others instead of Satan. To demonstrate how Satan works, the person in yellow is influenced by the devil behind her easy anger, to lash out at the victim in front of her. “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.” James

The battle is NOT against the flesh and blood who stand before us. The Spiritual battle is ongoing in the unseen realm of the spirit world, where evil forces are at work to kill and destroy our faith in God.

Truth assertions about Christ in Colossians 1:15-20. He is the image of the invisible God. (C1:15) He is the first-born over all creation. (C 1:15b) He is the originator, the agent, the goal, the sustainer of creation. (C1:16 and following) He is the head of the church. (C 1:18) He is the fullness of God. (C1:19) He is the reconciler of all things to Himself. (C 1:20) Jesus Christ is the peace maker.

We were given a new, incomparable identity in Christ.

“For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; THEN we shall see FACE to FACE. Now I know in part; THEN I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” 1 Corin 13:12

Military Generals study the warfare strategies of their enemies.

Knowledge of the devils tricks gives us a signal to CANCEL his authority.

God does not choose us for our looks or intelligence.

Choose to capture every thought and discern what kingdom to serve

Do not cast pearls before those who envy

The root of bitterness causes trouble and defiles many. Ever spent time with an angry, hate filled person? They boast that they will NEVER forgive…? They carry grudges and brag about getting even? Be careful, such bitterness, gossip and complaining is contagious. They are held in bondage to painful memories through their bitterness and choice of unforgiveness. Wellspring has a prayer for that.

After the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught about Love for Enemies -Matthew 5

⁴³ “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!  In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For He gives His sunlight to both the evil and the good, and He sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.  IF you LOVE only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much.  IF you are KIND only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” 48 We choose to study the ways of the Enemy of our soul, so that we WIN the war. We put on the armor of God, and we never take it off. With authority we CANCEL the LIAR and AGREE with our Father who sees us as His finished workmanship. Without spot or blemish, without jealousy, envy or hate. Our Father promises to FINISH the work He started in us. Philippians 1:6 HALLELUIAH!

People with a spirit of rejection, will NOT take kindly to being challenged for their beliefs. Often they become silent. THAT is GREAT, as the Holy Spirit does His best work silently. We wrestle with unseen, but very deadly principalities and dark forces that have plans to kill and destroy us. BFF page 108

There is a spirit at work in the people of disobedience. In the past we walked according to the prince of the air which is evil. We have a choice and we must choose who we serve with each passing thought.

“The one who does what is sinful is of the devil; because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.” 1 John 3:8 NIV

“This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister. For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. Do NOT be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother….do not be surprised if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other.” 1 John 3:10-14 We have the POWER to destroy strongholds and evict the lying spirits. We belong to God and He never departs from us.

Study the tactics of the enemy of your soul

Holy Spirit reveal Your truth to me

We are to forgive our parents and ourselves

How is your relationship with your siblings?

Is there a wedge between you and anybody?

Generational curses can be cancelled

The devil NEVER stops, the war goes on until God stops it

“Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.” 1 John 3:15 “Jesus laid down His life for us.”

We purpose and choose to dig out the root of bitterness and get rid of all sin.

Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart. God is faithful to forgive as long as we do our part and repent and turn away from our natural sinful inclinations. Let us choose to forgive everyone.

Thank You Holy Spirit for convicting me, and I obey with repentance.

Let God declare you blameless as you walk worthy as a vessel of honor.

Jealousy and Envy are found on pages 113-131 of “Biblical Foundations of Freedom.” Anyone can obtain a copy of the book or attend a seminar hosted by Wellspring in Alaska. Wellspring International calendar https://www.akwellspring.com/

REMEMBER Scripture says that we are to PRAY without ceasing. The Holy Spirit will FINISH the WORK He has begun in us, so let us continue to rely on His grace and ASK HIM for MORE peace, joy and purpose. The Wellspring 4 Part Prayer explained Humble and Holy

We are being sanctified and made holy as we examine our ways. If we fight the pillow at night and struggle to sleep, perhaps there is something the Holy Spirit wants to show you. Get up, and get a pen and paper and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal anything that does not honor God. It may be a great time to practice https://amazed2017.com/forgiveness/

The book “Biblical Foundations for Freedom” by Art Mathias (BFF) is the resource behind the spiritual devastation that occurs through JEALOUSY and ENVY. Our names are in the Book of Life and our Father planned every day of our lives. Let us allow the Holy Spirit to lead us into ALL the GOODNESS that God plans for us.
