First principle

Jealousy

If it demands control of another, it is not love — walk by the Spirit; put the flesh to death.

This hour

Under fire

The next right hold — walk this hour.

  • Name it: this is jealousy. It is not love.
  • Do not spy or punish. Capture the thought. Pray. Take one free step.
  • Love does not envy. Walk by the Spirit.

Prayer

When you do not have the words.

  • Father, I release this jealousy. Teach me to love without grasping. Amen.

Truth

When you can read deeper — Scripture-rooted steel.

For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.

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.

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
