Move Me, Lord A Study on Envy & Jealousy II PETER 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. ACTS 7:9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him 01/23/22 1

CHRIST.IS.REVEALED.IN.HIS.OWN.WORD 111 Prophets did not always understand what they were writing or what they were saying, or they would in no wise have said it, if they understood It. But, "They were moved by the Holy Ghost." Moved! When the Holy Ghost moves you, you move. 65-0822 PERFECT.FAITH 72 Compare a Christian today with them Christians of long ago? Them disciples walked in the power of the Spirit, moved by the Holy Ghost, do it. Just a prisoner to the Word and will of God; he couldn't even move until God moved him. Wouldn't you like to see a Church rise like that? It's going to; going back. It's got to come. It's on its road now, I believe. 63-0825 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 3

EVERLASTING.LIFE.AND.HOW.TO.RECEIVE.IT 212 This coming year, Lord, help us to be the best for Your service. Keep sickness out of our midst. And anoint us with the Holy Ghost. Keep envy, strife, keep jealousy, keep everything that's ungodly away from us. And let it be said of us, that we are Your children, a city that's sitting on a hill, that cannot be hid. Grant it, Father. 54-1231 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 4

BLIND.BARTIMAEUS The world's a dying, not for a better economics not for better buildings, a bigger denomination. But it's dying for somebody to reach out a hand of love, to show that we care one for the other. And that's the very sign that Jesus told us that, "By this all men would know that you were My disciples," when we got love one for the other. 61-0124 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 6

GALATIANS 6:1-3 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

Our Warfare: EXODUS 13:17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: 18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

DEUTERONOMY 2:24-25 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. 25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

ROMANS 8:28-31 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 11

THE.DEITY.OF.JESUS.CHRIST 98 But that is the God, the Creator, living in you, giving you all the power. And you're in possession of anything that He had. So is It in you to abstain from evil, to do good, shun evil, flee to righteousness, turn away from temptation. All malice, hatred, strife, envy, come away from it, for that'll take Him from your heart Receive Him, embrace Him and love Him, and hold Him in your heart and love Him. 49-1225 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 12

ISAIAH 51:12-16 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass; 13 And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor? 14 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail. 15 But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name. 16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

I CORINTHIANS 12:25-26 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 14

MATTHEW 5:23-25 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree (of a peaceable spirit, wish one well) with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 15

I have my rights, and it wouldnt be just to let them off so easily LUKE 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. (Justice without mercy?) What is lawful is not always right. Confusing the two concepts is particularly easy for the English-speaking because we use the word right to refer both to legality and to moral appropriateness. Former Justice Antonin Scalia MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 16

We should always strive to exercise only those rights which would pass both a legal and a heavenly review. Example: II SAMUEL 16:5-6And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came. 6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David [EXODUS 22:28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.] MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 17

II SAMUEL 19:19-23 Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart. 20 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king. 21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD'S anointed? 22 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel? 23 Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him. MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 18

Example: GENESIS 50:17-17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. 18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. 19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. 21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them. MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 19

Example:I CORINTHIANS 9:7-18 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? 8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? 13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? 14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 20

THE.TRUE.EASTER.SEAL (Warfare!) 65 It was somewhat that way with Cain, (flowers) because he brought in the fruits of the field and made his service to God; and it was rejected, because he did not come the right and precise way that God had ordained him to come. But he had made his offering, and done everything religiously just as his brother, but he was rejected. And because he was rejected on the spiritual side, then it caused a jealousy to rise in him, because he was greedy. That's in man; he can't help being what he is, because he's borned in that condition. 61-0402 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 21

DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND 36 I think Abel had at the beginning, a spiritual revelation that it wasn't fruit or works of our hands, so forth. It was blood. And he offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain did. 37 We find in Abraham and Lot, the same thing, in a choice, because Lot went down, when the time come, when the spiritual the natural church come in a clash, because of the herdsmen. They had to separate one for another. And whenever this does, it sets up a jealousy MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 22

So we find out, that when God accepted Abel's revelation and his offering, it made Cain get jealous of Abel. And there was the first murder. 39 We find out that jealousy become between the herdsmen of Abraham and Lot, and they had to separate. We find out that Moses and Korah had a clash, also. 65-0427 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 23

THE.SEED.SHALL.NOT.BE.HEIR 141 I'm slipping into a nation right now, because of organization, they won't let the ministry that God... One of them believes, "You got to be baptized three times; face forward." The other said, "No, you got to be baptized three times backwards..." And they're both wrong. Such nonsense, separating people, shows it's jealousy. It's from Satan. It isn't of God. 144 In the midst of both sides, God is neither on either side, but He is calling from both sides, "Come out from among them,.. 65-0429 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 24

DEUTERONOMY 5:8-10 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: 9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, 10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 25

NUMBERS 25:7-13 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; 11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. 12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel. MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 26

FAITH.THAT.WAS.ONCE.DELIVERED 65 Here comes Cain. Then he looked and he seen Abel's sacrifice was accepted, he become jealous. Then we find a whole lot of that today. Don't tell nobody, but it is. Jealousy, "Oh, they're a bunch of nitwits. They haven't even got education We got our degrees. We know what we're doing." Go ahead. Let the blind lead the blind; they'll all fall in the ditch. And he becomes jealous. He becomes angry. Where did that come from? That never come from God. 53-1129 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 27

Feelings that typically accompany the emotion include resentment, anger, hostility, and bitterness. What Is Jealousy? Jealousy is a complex emotion. It occurs when there s a real or perceived threat to an interpersonal relationship. An individual may resent a third person for taking away or appearing to take away the affections of their loved one. Feelings that typically accompany the emotion include resentment, anger, hostility, and bitterness. MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 28

NAHUM 1:2 God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. 3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. II CORINTHIANS 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 29

SPEAK.TO.THE.ROCK 18 Now, a lot of people apply Canaan, to being over in the promise land, to being the type of heaven. No, it couldn't type heaven. It's the stages of the journey of the Church. If you notice how that Israel got down there, how that Joseph, a dreamer, a seer... Now, he couldn't help cause he was a seer. God just made him a seer. They dreamed dreams and he'd interpret it, and God told him what was going to happen. And all of his brothers was jealous of him. 53-1115 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 30

MARK 15:9-10 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. Envy: (zelos) Fervour of spirit in embracing, pursuing, defending anything; zeal in behalf of, or for a person or thing; an envious and contentious rivalry, jealousy. A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. PROVERBS 14:30 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 31

THE.FUTURE.HOME 89 Here is a human heart; and here is a human heart. Now, this one over here has a snake in it, that's sin, here he has his life. This one over here has a dove in it, which is the Holy Spirit, here he has a Life. Well, this one here, he has malice, hatred, envy; that's what's causing it, is this fellow here. Well, this one over here has love, and joy, and long-suffering; and That's what does it, down here. 90 Now, when you are forgiven of your sins, you've only done this, taken that away. But the thing that made you do it is still there. That's the old root of evil; it's still there. MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 34

Notice, then you repent and are baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, that He forgave you of your sins. Then, secondly, comes sanctification, which sets our mind in order for holiness, to think right. 92 Then, the next, comes the baptism of the Fire and Holy Ghost, that God might dwell in us. And the Fire of God cleanses our hearts from sin, and puts the Holy Ghost inside. Then we bring forth the same Life that This did, because That's in us. 64-0802 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 35

THE.ARROW.OF.GOD'S.DELIVERANCE.SHOT.FROM.A.BOW 22 You've got one of the best churches I ever walked into in my life of anywhere, on any continent. Life Tabernacle's one of my favorites. It breaks my heart to see you letting the world reach into you the way you're doing. So don't do that no more. Snap out of it. Pray out of it, and let God come back and take over. Submit yourselves to God and get the old fashion blessing back again. I tell you, don't let the world creep into you. Don't let the world get into your churches, brethren. Pray it out, fast it out until God comes down and takes a hold. Keep the joy of the Lord among the saints. Keep them prayed up. And guard every little place. If Noah seen a leak in his ark, why, he put some pitch in it. Only one way to do it; that's prayer. Prayer stops the leak. Prayer changes things. 56-0801 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 36

THE.REJECTED.KING 146 I heard a voice then that spoke to me that was in the room, said, "This is what you preached was the Holy Ghost. This is perfect love. And nothing can enter here without it." I am more determined than ever in my life that it takes perfect love to enter there. There was no jealousy. There was no tiredness. There was no death. Sickness could never in there. Mortality could never make you old, and they could not cry. It was just one joy, "Oh, my precious brother. 60-0515 MOVE ME, LORD 01/23/22 37
