James 3:14-15 NIV But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
How do we know if we’re envious? If we experience a negative emotion when we see or hear about a person, or if we have something negative to say about a celebrity or a person we grew up with who is doing well for themselves, we’re envious. We may want some of the things they have, but we don’t have to be envious.
Envy is a trait that comes directly from Satan. When he was in heaven as Lucifer, he was envious of God. In Isaiah 14:13-14, he said, ‘I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God’s stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north. I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.’
The only way to be delivered from envy is to meditate on what Jesus has made available to us. He’s made love, joy, peace, blessings, and health. If we know we have everything we need and want through Jesus, we wouldn’t be envious of anyone. Don’t be envious. It’s earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.
