Avoiding Envy
Avoiding Envy
Episode #421
"Preserve me, Oh GOD, for in you I take refuge. I say to the LORD, 'You are my LORD; I have no good apart from you.'"- Psalm 16: 1-2
Scripture tells us to avoid the vice of envy. The vice of envy is one of the worst vices because it leads to other vices and worse sin. The snake uses envy to make individuals hate others and not have genuine empathy. Envy is used to prevent individuals from respecting others and disobeying the commandments of Moses. We learn that since Adam and Eve, there has been envy. The snake envied Adam and Eve because they were favored and loved by GOD Almighty. The snake could not understand how human beings could worship GOD Almighty with devotion.
The snake hates human beings because they are made in the image of GOD Almighty. We are meant to improve each day. We are meant to have virtues and not vices. We are meant to help one another and not destroy one another. The snake is the source of envy. The snake whispers in the ears of individuals that they should hate GOD Almighty and their fellow brethren. Any evil thought that is envious is not from a human being. The source is the accuser. The solution to the negative thoughts is to worship GOD Almighty. The solution is to have filial love and generosity. Filial love protects our heart and mind from the lies of the snake. The snake says compare yourself to such and such person to cause envy. The snake then says read about "wisdom" in marxism. The snake then says disobey the commandments. Lie, envy, and covet. This is to lead to grave sin. It wants to create vices in individuals so that they practice worse sin and have worse vices. Envy is a vice that is evil. Envy wants individuals to disrespect humanity. Insult, revile, disdain, envy, hate, and discourage others says the snake. This is so that an individual hates human beings. This is so that they hate ethnicities, social classes, and gender (male and female), so they do not appreciate anything good about a human being. Everyone has something positive about themselves yet the snake wants enmity and division. Misanthropy is the object of the snake and occultism. Misanthropy is the hating of humanity. All false doctrines have this objective in mind.
"Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned."- Psalm 34: 21
The snake told Jeroboam to hate his brother Abijah. Jeroboam was from Israel and Abijah from Judah. Jeroboam actually started envying Rehoboam even prior to Abijah being king. The snake told Jeroboam to envy Rehoboam because Jeroboam worshiped the snake. Jeroboam made two golden calves to worship the accuser. He then persecuted the true Levitical priests for not worshiping the golden calves. The true Levitical priests left Israel to go to Judah and worship GOD Almighty. There are righteous individuals that never compromise their values for a counterfeit religion. The good Levitical priests preferred to leave Israel than worship idols. They knew they were being envied by the accuser and left for Judah. They helped Rehoboam instruct the worship of GOD Almighty to faithful believers. The snake used Jeroboam to persecute good priests. Jeroboam became arrogant and listened to the snake. The snake told him to look at Abijah. "Compare yourself. You should harass him," the snake said to Jeroboam. Jeroboam listened and did not repudiate the snake. "Envy him," said the snake. Jeroboam listened and obeyed. Jeroboam went with his army to harass Abijah.
Previously Jeroboam had told Shishak of Egypt to harass Rehoboam. The snake wants enmity between human beings. While Abijah was taking in the good priests, Jeroboam was listening to the lies of the snake. How many times has the snake told us to compare ourselves based on false "comparisons" when each person is distinct and different? How many times has the snake said, "envy, hate, revile, and have anger"? How many times has it said, "forsake filial love and hate instead"? "Go and harass others"? All the negative and envious thoughts are not from us. The source is the accuser. We need to restrain the lies and envy through reminding ourselves of Scripture and Yahshua. That is how we persevere. Jeroboam did not care about Scripture. Jeroboam did not care about GOD Almighty. Jeroboam did not care about his citizens nor foreign individuals. He did not care that Rehoboam and Abijah were both bretheren and sons of Abraham. No. The accuser told Jeroboam to envy. "Jeroboam do not listen to their words. They are evil. They are corrupt. Jeroboam they are idolators. Jeroboam harass them." So Jeroboam listened to the lies of a lying snake. Jeroboam believed a lying, treacherous snake. The accuser falsely accuses of its own evil. The snake is evil. The snake is corrupt. The snake is a false idol. The snake harasses. The snake teaches false religion. The snake envies. While Jeroboam went to harass Abijah, the snake went to GOD Almighty to accuse Jeroboam unto GOD Almighty. "Look at Jeroboam. Look at his disobedience. He believed the lies and falsehood. He persecuted Abijah." Jeroboam went with 800,000 to attack Abijah. Abijah maintained his position and worshiped the true GOD of gods. Abijah told Jeroboam not to be foolish. "We worship the true GOD and not idols. We are faithful to GOD Almighty, and GOD Almighty is eternally faithful." Abijah maintained his position despite being surrounded. Abijah, the good priests of Levi, and 400,000 persevered while 500,000 soldiers of Jeroboam were destroyed due to arrogance and folly. Jeroboam realized that JAH is the true GOD and fights for his faithful. Jeroboam realized that the snake lied. Jeroboam believed lies and persecuted innocent priests and even Abijah. Jeroboam did not persevere. Abijah did not harass Jeroboam. Abijah did not hate Jeroboam. Abijah prayed and worshiped JAH and persevered. We conquer by worshiping Yahshua. And the snake still tells people that story is a myth. Well the story is true because there are Christian believers in Israel and all over the world. Yet the golden calve religion? We do not believe the lies of a lying snake. We trust GOD Almighty.
"Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away."- Psalm 36: 11
