Mark 7:21-23
For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' "
If you were to look at the seven detestable sins mentioned in the earlier post, you'd see these three very dangerous tools of the Devil deployed from his evil nature embedded in mankind. The three are: envy, jealousy and strife. they come from the sinful nature of the Devil in you. If you were to let it take control of you, it would be disastrous for yourself and everyone around you. Do you know that jealousy does more damage to others than anger? It does! The very reason the Devil opposed God was that, he was overcome by jealousy,envy and strife. We see this written in Ezekiel chapter 38 and in Isaiah 14. He desired the worshiping of him by man. The demons that followed him out of heaven too desired to occupy the spirit of man by taking control over them through the sinful nature of the Devil embedded within them. We have seen the destructive power of these three dangerous tools of the Devil through his sinful nature in man. We should put these tools of the Devil in us to death, before it destroys you altogether.
Proverbs 27:4
Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?
