This program is paid for by people like you, the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

There's a way to fight back. There's a way to fight back against jealousy and envy and greed.

You just purposely do something generous, and it breaks the power of that wicked spirit.

I'm Joyce Meyer. I've seen God's power transform my own life and he will do it for you.

Father, I pray over this message today that you would cause people to really understand how important this is and that you would help us to

eliminate this one problem out of our life with your help and give us peace in Jesus' name. Amen.

I want to talk to you today about jealousy.

Mm.

You know, at the root of jealousy is insecurity.

Because if we weren't insecure in some way, we wouldn't feel like we have to have what somebody else has.

Matter of fact, I think that God has given us such a large born-again heart, that we should be

very happy when other people are blessed. Matter of fact, the Bible says that, rejoice when others

rejoice and weep with them when they weep. And one wonderful thing about being in

relationship with Jesus is you do not have to compare yourself with anybody else. And you don't

have to compare what you have with what anybody else has.

You know, Jesus broke down the dividing walls. And he was talking about the dividing wall between

Jews and Gentiles. But he also said there's no more male or female, slave and are free,

but we're all one in Christ.

And really, a wealthy person should be comfortable with a poor person,

and a poor person should be comfortable with a wealthy person.

And when someone that you know gets blessed, you should always rejoice with them.

I have friends who really rejoice with me when something of a blessing happens in my life.
