     Jealousy is a terrible thing.
     Immediately, the enemy has an open door to many areas.  The Bible gives
ample warning about jealousy, because it is one of satan's finest tools.   
     With it, the enemy can have  your mind, he can bend your motives into his 
agenda and he can flaunt all the faults of the one who you are so carefully 
watching.
    After jealousy comes hatred.  And hatred always needs to destroy.  Jealousy is
a highly directed form of anger.  If not taken to the Lord immediately it eats into
the soul like a cancer.
     Soldier, make sure you are clean in this area.
    Keep clean by telling the Lord everything. He will uphold you and protect you
from this explosive and suffocating sin.
