Hello, and
welcome to Heart Lift.
00:00:25.42\00:00:26.82
I'm Jill Morikone,
and I'm so glad that you
00:00:26.86\00:00:29.72
have joined us today.
00:00:29.79\00:00:31.13
We're on a journey
toward hope, toward healing,
00:00:31.16\00:00:34.33
toward the transformation that
the Lord Jesus wants to work
00:00:34.36\00:00:39.10
in your heart and in mine
as women, as daughters of God.
00:00:39.13\00:00:43.84
If you're just joining
us, we're in the middle
00:00:43.87\00:00:45.97
of a section on pride.
00:00:46.01\00:00:47.68
We talked about the boastful
heart, and how God wants us to
00:00:47.74\00:00:51.75
turn our eyes heavenward
and behold Him, and give thanks.
00:00:51.78\00:00:55.52
We talked about, our last
program, we talked about the
00:00:55.55\00:00:59.22
the critical heart, the critical
spirit, and how God wants
00:00:59.25\00:01:03.93
to enable us to esteem other
people as better than ourselves.
00:01:03.99\00:01:08.63
To focus on other people.
00:01:08.66\00:01:10.53
To give of ourselves and
sacrifice for other people.
00:01:10.57\00:01:15.14
Today's program is on
jealousy; The Jealous Heart.
00:01:15.20\00:01:19.77
Our Scripture for
today is Philippians 4:11.
00:01:19.81\00:01:23.55
We're going to spend a lot
of time in Philippians today.
00:01:23.58\00:01:27.92
Philippians 4:11. The Bible
says, the second part of the
00:01:27.95\00:01:32.22
verse: I have learned
in whatsoever state I am
00:01:32.25\00:01:36.93
therewith to be content.
00:01:36.96\00:01:40.33
Let's pray. Father we
come before You right now
00:01:40.36\00:01:43.77
in the name of Jesus.
00:01:43.80\00:01:45.13
Thank You for the deliverance
that You want to bring
00:01:45.17\00:01:48.54
to each one of us.
00:01:48.60\00:01:49.94
Thank You that You can
get rid of whatever jealousy
00:01:49.97\00:01:53.54
is in our heart, and You
can replace it with a spirit of
00:01:53.58\00:01:58.21
contentment, with a
spirit of thankfulness.
00:01:58.25\00:02:01.12
And right now I ask
that you would hide me,
00:02:01.15\00:02:03.92
and that we could hear whatever
you have from Your Word.
00:02:03.99\00:02:08.32
And we thank You in the precious
and holy name of Jesus, Amen.
00:02:08.36\00:02:12.99
He was apparently a shy man.
00:02:13.03\00:02:16.56
Quiet, so quiet in fact that
when the prophet Samuel first
00:02:16.60\00:02:21.64
spoke to him he responded
by saying that he was from the
00:02:21.67\00:02:26.68
least tribe in all of Israel.
00:02:26.71\00:02:29.31
And in addition to
that, he was from the smallest
00:02:29.34\00:02:32.78
family in that tribe.
00:02:32.81\00:02:36.18
The prophet
Samuel wanted to see him,
00:02:36.22\00:02:38.95
and wanted to
spend time with him.
00:02:38.99\00:02:41.66
The man's name was Saul.
00:02:41.72\00:02:44.56
God had chosen Saul to
be the first king of Israel.
00:02:44.59\00:02:48.63
And I believe in the beginning
that he was a good king.
00:02:48.66\00:02:52.67
It wasn't in God's will
for them to have a king.
00:02:52.70\00:02:55.50
The Bible's clear about that.
00:02:55.54\00:02:57.17
But at the same
time the Lord said,
00:02:57.21\00:02:59.87
If this is what
you want, that's okay.
00:02:59.91\00:03:02.54
I'll give you a king.
00:03:02.58\00:03:03.91
And the Lord Himself
chose Saul for their first king.
00:03:03.95\00:03:07.85
Over time a young upstart, a
young man by the name of David,
00:03:07.88\00:03:14.76
who followed after God's
heart, stole the heart of
00:03:14.79\00:03:19.86
everybody there in Israel.
00:03:19.89\00:03:23.13
He killed the giant Goliath.
00:03:23.16\00:03:26.33
And everybody
started talking about him.
00:03:26.37\00:03:28.87
We see Saul's pride
crop up in several areas.
00:03:28.90\00:03:34.11
We see it when he offered
the burnt offerings himself
00:03:34.14\00:03:37.88
instead of waiting
for the prophet Samuel,
00:03:37.91\00:03:40.45
like the Lord had
instructed him to do.
00:03:40.48\00:03:42.95
We see it in his treatment of
his son Jonathan after Jonathan
00:03:42.98\00:03:47.56
had stormed the
Philistines garrison.
00:03:47.59\00:03:49.99
We see it in his direct defiance
to God's command to destroy
00:03:50.03\00:03:55.00
everything that
belonged to the Amalekites.
00:03:55.03\00:03:58.63
So there was some pride going
on there, some refusal to follow
00:03:58.67\00:04:03.10
what God had directly commanded.
00:04:03.17\00:04:05.61
And then David
comes on the scene,
00:04:05.67\00:04:08.41
and there was this competition.
00:04:08.44\00:04:11.15
Saul's pride, I really think,
shifted to a jealous pride.
00:04:11.18\00:04:15.25
He saw David as a competitor,
as someone who was going
00:04:15.28\00:04:19.29
to take the throne.
00:04:19.32\00:04:20.66
And he became jealous of David.
00:04:20.69\00:04:23.99
Jealousy is usually
directed at other people;
00:04:24.03\00:04:27.40
maybe what they
have, what they possess,
00:04:27.43\00:04:30.40
what they look like.
00:04:30.43\00:04:31.77
The spirit of jealousy is
really closely related to the
00:04:31.80\00:04:35.77
spirit of covetousness.
00:04:35.80\00:04:37.87
And if you get all of
the way down to the roots,
00:04:37.91\00:04:40.61
if you go all the way
through the plant to the bottom,
00:04:40.64\00:04:43.71
the root of that
covetousness, the root of that
00:04:43.75\00:04:46.92
jealousy is really pride.
00:04:46.95\00:04:49.58
Lets do our self evaluation.
00:04:49.62\00:04:52.19
Ask yourself, How much
does jealousy control my life?
00:04:52.22\00:04:57.49
How much does
it control my life?
00:04:57.53\00:05:00.63
With all our self
evaluations be honest.
00:05:00.66\00:05:02.00
Put down what you
feel, which category you most
00:05:04.03\00:05:07.50
closely identify with. 1.
00:05:07.54\00:05:09.77
Maybe you're at the last one, 4.
00:06:12.40\00:06:16.17
I don't know where you feel you
are today in your walk with God.
00:06:33.72\00:06:38.23
You might say, Jill I've
got jealousy all over me.
00:06:38.26\00:06:42.26
When I hear that I'm
definitely at number one.
00:06:42.30\00:06:46.27
And I know that jealousy.
00:06:46.30\00:06:48.74
I feel it toward my boss.
00:06:48.77\00:06:51.14
I feel it toward my co-workers.
00:06:51.17\00:06:53.64
I feel it toward my
neighbor, and my friend,
00:06:53.68\00:06:57.08
and even my spouse.
00:06:57.11\00:06:59.15
It's just all over me.
00:06:59.18\00:07:01.15
God said, I
came to set you free.
00:07:01.18\00:07:04.82
I came to release you
from that spirit of jealousy.
00:07:04.85\00:07:09.62
Of course God knows of ourselves
we can't get rid of it.
00:07:09.66\00:07:12.83
But He said, I
came to set you free.
00:07:12.89\00:07:16.63
The spirit of jealousy, the
spirit of pride is not really
00:07:16.67\00:07:20.97
new with us as humans.
00:07:21.00\00:07:22.34
It began several
thousand years ago in heaven.
00:07:22.37\00:07:27.34
How sin began in a pure and
sinless atmosphere in heaven,
00:07:27.38\00:07:34.38
I have no idea. But
the point is it did.
00:07:34.45\00:07:38.45
Lucifer, he was
called Lucifer then,
00:07:38.49\00:07:41.16
now we just call him Satan.
00:07:41.19\00:07:43.16
He was the covering cherub.
00:07:43.19\00:07:45.09
Of all the angels, of all the
created beings there in heaven,
00:07:45.13\00:07:49.83
he was the most, I
think, beautiful, maybe not,
00:07:49.86\00:07:54.54
but he was at least, we know,
00:07:54.57\00:07:57.04
he had the most
exalted position.
00:07:57.07\00:08:01.11
He was right
next to God Himself.
00:08:01.14\00:08:04.88
He had that job
right next to God.
00:08:04.91\00:08:07.62
And how sin began in
his heart, is really to me
00:08:07.65\00:08:11.99
a confusing thing.
00:08:12.02\00:08:13.36
I mean, how could it even start
when everything's pure there?
00:08:13.39\00:08:15.89
That's a question I
want to ask God about.
00:08:15.92\00:08:18.73
But lets turn over to Isaiah 14.
00:08:18.76\00:08:24.03
It gives us just a
little glimpse of Lucifer here.
00:08:24.07\00:08:27.60
Isaiah 14,
verse...Let's look at 13 and 14.
00:08:27.64\00:08:32.44
Talking about Lucifer, son
of the morning, You said in your
00:08:32.47\00:08:36.61
heart, I'm going
to ascend into heaven.
00:08:36.64\00:08:38.81
I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God.
00:08:38.85\00:08:42.68
I will sit on the mount of
the congregation on the farthest
00:08:42.72\00:08:45.85
sides of the
north, where God sits.
00:08:45.89\00:08:48.59
Then verse 14. Isaiah 14:14.
00:08:48.62\00:08:51.99
I will ascend above
the heights of the clouds.
00:08:52.03\00:08:56.33
I will be like the Most High.
00:08:56.36\00:09:00.84
Pride never just stays with us.
00:09:00.87\00:09:04.37
In Lucifer's case,
he became prideful.
00:09:04.41\00:09:09.34
He had pride in his heart.
00:09:09.38\00:09:11.15
And his pride was, I
think, a jealous pride,
00:09:11.18\00:09:15.15
because he
wanted to be like God.
00:09:15.18\00:09:16.75
He was jealous of who God is.
00:09:16.79\00:09:20.16
However, his pride
didn't stay with him.
00:09:20.19\00:09:23.53
It spread. Remember that?
00:09:23.56\00:09:25.49
And it influenced
one third of the angels
00:09:25.53\00:09:30.60
to join his encampment.
00:09:30.63\00:09:32.50
And, you know what?
00:09:32.53\00:09:33.87
When they came down to
this earth, and Adam and Eve
00:09:33.90\00:09:36.30
took of the
forbidden fruit, and they fell.
00:09:36.34\00:09:39.37
That pride spread to you and I.
00:09:39.41\00:09:42.98
That jealousy spread.
00:09:43.01\00:09:44.61
It's part of
our human condition.
00:09:44.65\00:09:47.32
Pride never just
stays with ourselves.
00:09:47.35\00:09:50.42
It influences and spreads to
other people; those around us.
00:09:50.45\00:09:54.72
Pretty soon it involves
them in our sin as well.
00:09:54.76\00:09:59.29
I think the jealous heart
is never really satisfied.
00:09:59.33\00:10:02.90
If I have one dollar, what
do I want? 5 more, or 500 more,
00:10:02.93\00:10:07.77
or 5,000,000 more.
00:10:07.80\00:10:10.17
If five people think I'm pretty
special, then what do I want?
00:10:10.21\00:10:14.68
I wish another five people
would think the same thing;
00:10:14.71\00:10:19.31
always
reaching, always grasping.
00:10:19.35\00:10:22.62
But you know, the beautiful
thing, when God shows us our
00:10:22.65\00:10:26.72
heart, He never shows
us for us to sit in shame,
00:10:26.76\00:10:29.99
in guilt, in condemnation.
00:10:30.03\00:10:32.96
He always shows us
because He has a solution.
00:10:32.99\00:10:36.53
Because He deals redemptively.
00:10:36.56\00:10:40.04
Because He wants to change us.
00:10:40.07\00:10:43.00
How do we break
free from jealousy?
00:10:43.04\00:10:47.11
In my own experience I
have found that surrender
00:10:47.14\00:10:51.28
is one of the keys.
00:10:51.31\00:10:52.65
1. Surrender. And as I surrender
learn to practice contentment.
00:10:52.68\00:10:59.02
We're going back to
the book of Philippians.
00:10:59.05\00:11:01.72
It's actually one of my
favorite books in the Bible.
00:11:01.76\00:11:04.23
Philippians, and we're
going to look at Philippians 4.
00:11:04.26\00:11:09.50
Philippians 4:11. This
was our opening Scripture.
00:11:09.53\00:11:13.60
I have learned in whatever
state I am to be content.
00:11:13.64\00:11:18.77
How do we practice
contentment and thankfulness?
00:11:18.81\00:11:23.55
Begin by surrender.
00:11:23.58\00:11:26.38
Are you jealous of how
many friends your co-worker has?
00:11:26.41\00:11:30.42
Surrender that desire to God;
that desire for more friends.
00:11:30.45\00:11:35.39
Thank God for the
friends that you do have,
00:11:35.42\00:11:38.56
and strive to be a
better friend to other people.
00:11:38.59\00:11:41.63
Do you wish that
your job paid more?
00:11:41.66\00:11:44.43
Surrender that need.
00:11:44.47\00:11:46.60
Thank God that you do
have a job in today's economy.
00:11:46.63\00:11:50.91
Ask Him to provide for your
needs, and enable you to do the
00:11:50.94\00:11:55.41
best work you possibly
can at the job you have.
00:11:55.44\00:11:59.45
Do you envy your
friend's gift of singing?
00:11:59.48\00:12:03.25
Surrender that dream.
00:12:03.28\00:12:05.55
Thank God that your friend
is using her gift for Jesus,
00:12:05.59\00:12:10.23
and strive to use the gifts that
God has given you for His honor,
00:12:10.26\00:12:15.70
and for His glory.
00:12:15.73\00:12:17.70
You know, contentment doesn't
always come easily to me.
00:12:17.73\00:12:21.40
I can surrender it, and want
to be content, but contentment
00:12:21.44\00:12:25.51
is not always an
easy thing for me.
00:12:25.54\00:12:27.64
My husband Greg often tells
me, Everything you have Jilly,
00:12:27.68\00:12:32.48
hold onto it with an open hand.
00:12:32.51\00:12:35.18
Sometimes the people I
love, the things around me,
00:12:35.22\00:12:40.76
I want to hang onto tightly,
with a tightly clenched fist,
00:12:40.79\00:12:46.43
because somehow I feel safer.
00:12:46.46\00:12:49.96
I feel more in
control; I feel better.
00:12:50.00\00:12:53.87
But God comes to me and says,
Will you open up your fist Jill?
00:12:53.90\00:12:59.57
Are you willing to
practice contentment?
00:12:59.61\00:13:02.31
Are you willing to
surrender those things you have,
00:13:02.34\00:13:05.45
and those things maybe
even that you don't want,
00:13:05.48\00:13:09.18
that you don't have, but
that you wish you did have.
00:13:09.22\00:13:12.09
Are you willing to
surrender that to Me?
00:13:12.12\00:13:16.66
You know what?
I've tried to surrender.
00:13:16.69\00:13:19.63
And sometimes my fist is
clenched so tightly that the
00:13:19.66\00:13:23.33
knuckles are white,
and I say, God I can't.
00:13:23.37\00:13:26.57
I've tried. I can't do it.
00:13:26.60\00:13:29.80
And He says, Are you
willing to let Me do it?
00:13:29.84\00:13:34.04
And I say, Okay. God
please open up my fist.
00:13:34.08\00:13:39.85
Open up that hand.
00:13:39.88\00:13:42.52
Philippians 2:13
talks about that very thing.
00:13:42.55\00:13:46.55
It says: It is God who works
in us both to will and to do
00:13:46.59\00:13:53.93
of His good pleasure.
00:13:53.96\00:13:55.76
I love looking up the Greek,
the Greek origin of words.
00:13:55.80\00:14:00.34
Or if you're in
the Old Testament,
00:14:00.37\00:14:01.70
the Hebrew origin of words.
00:14:01.74\00:14:03.71
I love seeing where they came
from, and what their original
00:14:03.74\00:14:07.28
meaning is in the
original language.
00:14:07.31\00:14:09.41
If you look up, in that verse,
it says, It is God who works
00:14:09.44\00:14:14.88
in us both to will and
to do of His good pleasure.
00:14:14.92\00:14:20.49
If you look at those
two verbs, will and do,
00:14:20.52\00:14:24.23
in the Greek will means wish.
00:14:24.26\00:14:27.83
Do you know what God says?
00:14:27.86\00:14:29.56
He said, I'm going to give
you the desire to open up that
00:14:29.60\00:14:32.50
tightly clenched fist.
00:14:32.53\00:14:34.10
I'm going to give you the desire
to break free from jealousy.
00:14:34.14\00:14:37.67
I know you can't
even create that desire.
00:14:37.71\00:14:40.31
I'm going to give it to you.
00:14:40.34\00:14:41.68
God works in us both to will,
to give us desire, and to do.
00:14:41.71\00:14:48.28
Now in the Greek
do means aid: power.
00:14:48.32\00:14:53.12
God wants to not only give
us the desire to break free,
00:14:53.15\00:14:58.13
He wants to give us the power.
00:14:58.16\00:15:00.43
Andrew Murray, in the book
Humility and Absolute Surrender,
00:15:00.46\00:15:04.67
said this about surrender: I
give myself absolutely to God
00:15:04.70\00:15:11.37
to do His will, to
be only what He wants.
00:15:11.41\00:15:16.68
And I think that's the key.
00:15:16.71\00:15:18.51
As we surrender, we
give ourself to God.
00:15:18.55\00:15:22.05
God, I want to be Yours.
00:15:22.08\00:15:24.09
Whatever You want me
to be, I want to be Yours.
00:15:24.12\00:15:28.12
I give myself to God to
be only His; to do His will,
00:15:28.16\00:15:33.73
to do only what God wants.
00:15:33.76\00:15:37.70
To obey when it
seems the hardest
00:15:37.73\00:15:41.40
is true surrender to God.
00:15:41.44\00:15:44.24
Sometimes I say, Oh,
I'm obeying, and I'm doing a
00:15:44.27\00:15:47.91
really good job of it.
00:15:47.94\00:15:49.28
But maybe its
something that I want to do,
00:15:49.31\00:15:51.25
or something that I like.
00:15:51.28\00:15:52.68
Truly to obey, when
it seems the hardest,
00:15:52.71\00:15:56.48
that's when the
rubber meets the road.
00:15:56.52\00:16:00.59
That's when we
experience true surrender.
00:16:00.62\00:16:04.59
So first, we want to surrender
and to practice contentment.
00:16:04.63\00:16:10.97
Second, Give thanks.
00:16:11.00\00:16:14.30
Matthew Henry, I don't know
if you're familiar with him,
00:16:14.34\00:16:17.24
but he's a
Christian speaker, and author.
00:16:17.27\00:16:19.87
This was years ago.
00:16:19.91\00:16:21.24
He wrote this in his diary.
00:16:21.28\00:16:23.68
He said he was robbed.
00:16:23.71\00:16:26.58
And after he was robbed,
he wrote these four things:
00:16:26.61\00:16:32.29
I'm thankful that first,
I was never robbed before.
00:16:32.32\00:16:37.89
Second, although they took my
purse, they didn't take my life.
00:16:37.93\00:16:44.00
Third, Although they
took my all, it wasn't much.
00:16:44.03\00:16:49.14
And fourth, that it was I who
was robbed, not I who robbed.
00:16:49.17\00:16:56.61
You see that thankful spirit?
00:16:56.64\00:16:58.61
If I had been robbed, I
probably would have been mad.
00:16:58.68\00:17:01.92
But instead, what did he do?
00:17:01.95\00:17:04.45
He went to God. He chose to give
thanks in the midst of that.
00:17:04.49\00:17:11.49
1 Thessalonians 5:18, Paul
says, In everything give thanks.
00:17:11.53\00:17:17.57
For this is the will of God
in Christ Jesus concerning you.
00:17:17.60\00:17:23.61
Now that does not
mean that everything,
00:17:23.64\00:17:26.01
we should be
thankful for everything.
00:17:26.04\00:17:28.34
Of course not! Not
everything is thankworthy.
00:17:28.38\00:17:31.91
But it does mean that in
everything we can give thanks.
00:17:31.95\00:17:37.32
It means when we drive a high
mileage car we thank God that
00:17:37.35\00:17:42.66
we don't have to walk.
00:17:42.69\00:17:44.03
Learning to
practice contentment,
00:17:44.06\00:17:46.23
learning to give thanks
for the blessings we do have,
00:17:46.29\00:17:50.37
even if it's not
the one I wished I had.
00:17:50.40\00:17:53.54
It means that if we didn't
get the job at church that we
00:17:53.60\00:17:57.57
wanted, or we didn't get
the promotion at work that we
00:17:57.61\00:18:01.91
wanted, we thank Jesus that
He knew what was best for us,
00:18:01.94\00:18:06.45
and we practice contentment
serving in the job we have,
00:18:06.48\00:18:10.92
serving in the job
where God has called us to,
00:18:10.99\00:18:15.06
serving in the ministry
that He has given to us.
00:18:15.09\00:18:19.09
I called one of my girlfriends
on the phone not too long ago,
00:18:19.13\00:18:22.86
and I said to her,
How are you doing today?
00:18:22.90\00:18:25.77
It was before we
actually got into the business
00:18:25.80\00:18:28.64
of why I called her.
00:18:28.67\00:18:30.01
I just said,
How's your day going?
00:18:30.04\00:18:31.81
And do you know what she said?
00:18:31.87\00:18:33.21
She said, Today I
have a thankful heart.
00:18:33.24\00:18:36.95
A thankful heart
is a beautiful thing,
00:18:36.98\00:18:40.68
and it's not only a
beautiful thing, it's Biblical.
00:18:40.72\00:18:44.19
And I believe a thankful
heart is the God given antidote
00:18:44.22\00:18:50.09
to dealing with jealousy.
00:18:50.13\00:18:52.89
We practice
contentment, and we surrender
00:18:52.93\00:18:55.50
those jealous feelings.
00:18:55.53\00:18:56.90
If our fist is tightly clenched,
00:18:56.97\00:18:58.80
and we can't open it up,
we ask God for the desire.
00:18:58.83\00:19:02.40
We ask Him to open it.
00:19:02.44\00:19:04.24
We ask God for the power.
00:19:04.27\00:19:06.01
And then we
practice giving thanks.
00:19:06.04\00:19:09.24
One of my friends,
somebody I respect highly;
00:19:09.28\00:19:14.22
a friend of Greg and myself.
00:19:14.25\00:19:15.95
He's been through some
painful experiences in his life.
00:19:15.98\00:19:20.72
And do you know what he said?
00:19:20.76\00:19:22.76
He said in the midst of
those painful experiences
00:19:22.82\00:19:26.76
I chose to praise God.
00:19:26.80\00:19:30.53
I chose to give thanks.
00:19:30.57\00:19:34.34
I chose to give praise.
00:19:34.40\00:19:38.11
He went through the loss of
his son, the death of his son.
00:19:38.14\00:19:43.41
His business failed.
00:19:43.45\00:19:46.31
He lost a marriage.
00:19:46.35\00:19:48.78
That's a lot of pain.
00:19:48.85\00:19:51.22
One of those would be
enough pain, wouldn't it?
00:19:51.25\00:19:53.49
Yet you think your business
failed; that would be horrible.
00:19:53.52\00:19:56.76
I think you go
through a painful divorce,
00:19:56.79\00:19:59.79
or a death the spouse;
that would be horrible.
00:19:59.83\00:20:03.26
You go through the death
of a child; that is horrible.
00:20:03.30\00:20:07.54
But yet in the midst of that
he said, I'm going to praise,
00:20:07.57\00:20:11.74
I'm going to give thanks.
00:20:11.77\00:20:13.68
And he said,
every time he does that,
00:20:13.71\00:20:17.01
every time he gives
thanks, you know what God does?
00:20:17.05\00:20:22.02
He opens up his heart.
00:20:22.05\00:20:24.42
He said it's like a weight
coming off of his shoulders.
00:20:24.45\00:20:27.96
And he said, I'm free.
00:20:27.99\00:20:30.69
It sets me free. Do you want to
be free from the jealous heart?
00:20:30.73\00:20:35.83
Do you want to be set free from
that that binds you so tightly,
00:20:35.86\00:20:40.64
or that tightly clenched fist
that doesn't want to open up?
00:20:40.67\00:20:45.41
Then give thanks. Praise God.
00:20:45.44\00:20:48.64
You might not feel
like it at the beginning.
00:20:48.71\00:20:51.85
We've talked about
this on previous programs.
00:20:51.88\00:20:54.98
When we don't feel like
it, that really doesn't matter.
00:20:55.02\00:20:58.12
We bring our thoughts, and our
words into line with what God's
00:20:58.15\00:21:02.72
word says, and God
will change your feelings.
00:21:02.76\00:21:07.50
God will bring
those feelings into line.
00:21:07.56\00:21:10.37
We have to take a
short break right now.
00:21:10.40\00:21:12.83
We're going to come
back in just a moment.
00:21:12.87\00:21:15.20
We will do our application,
our assignment for this week,
00:21:15.24\00:21:19.64
something that will, hopefully,
help and encourage you as you
00:21:19.67\00:21:24.05
seek to break free
from the jealous heart.
00:21:24.08\00:21:27.15
