It was kind of blatant and it bothered me because I didn&#8217;t know why.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">They were behaving much differently than normal. They were quiet and hardly talking to me at all; kind of like I wasn&#8217;t even there.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">I asked God what it was that I was sensing. He said these two words; envy and jealousy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">I asked God what I could do on my end to fix it. And He said, &#8220;not a thing in your case. There&#8217;s nothing you can fix; because you\u2019re not the one that let it in&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">We all need to check ourselves from time to time, to make sure these 2 things don\u2019t sneak in for any reason. Because once they do, they grow and they get stronger and stronger.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It can\u00a0sneak in very subtly.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">We may not even know it&#8217;s there, but it could be making us miserable and depressed at times. It could even be the reason why we think everyone is against us and nothing good happens to us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">So, let&#8217;s keep an eye on this in ourselves, because It could be the reason why we don&#8217;t have good relationships, or any relationships, for that matter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
