Live Blog! "Don't Let JEALOUSY drive your zeal...your hunger...your drive to PURPOSE!"

According to Merriam-Webster on-line, “Jealousy” is defined: 1 a: intolerant of rivalry or unfaithfulness b: disposed to suspect rivalry or unfaithfulness 2: hostile toward a rival or one believed to enjoy an advantage.

As discussed in Pregnant in the Spirit (Chapter 6), if you show any signs of a root spiritual infection (e.g. cold), ultimately you have all of the infections that are associated with the root (e.g. runny nose, runny eyes, sneezing, coughing, body aches, etc.). This concept is no different when it comes to understanding where things are derived in the intangible process of spiritual pregnancy as it relates to spiritual infections.

Jealousy is a root spiritual infection that bares many other infections on its tree. For example: envy, hatred, murder, extreme competition and other infections that are very treacherous to your elevation to the life of PURPOSE - TOTAL FULFILLMENT that was predestined for you!

Per our example, if you show a sign of one infection, you are infected with all infections that are associated with that root infection! Therefore, you also possess hatred somewhere in your heart whether you realize it or not (just to point out one infection). Hmmm.... where does that leave you in your faith and your progress? The main attribute necessary for TOTAL fulfillment is love, which is the voucher for your Faith (Chapter 5) and is the root of God, the source to the Purpose that you seek!

If you are doing as God has predestined for you, what place does jealousy have? Why are you trying to out-do someone else? Why are you looking and comparing their plan and direction to yours? You can’t see nor hear God for looking at those around you. Stay focused on God's direction and plan for your life and you will lose interest in what someone else is doing.

In summary, Stay focused on your plan and birth of your Purpose! Be happy for others! Walk in love! Remember this: You may or may not become a millionaire or billionaire, but if you stay focused on God's direction and plan for your life, you will birth a life of joy, peace, happiness, self empowerment, spiritual freedom, love, and will have the tools to help others to do the same!
