PEACEABLE

The wisdom from above is both pure and peaceable.  Whenever there is strife in your household, your office, or even in your mind, there is either jealousy or pride operating or it could be both.  Where there is envy, there is every evil work and confusion.  Pride is the source of all contention.

The first murder was caused by jealousy.  Jealousy is a wicked spirit that My enemy loves to send to those who open the door to that spirit through the lust called the pride of life.  My enemy always has to have an open door in order to wreck your life.  That open door can come through either you or someone else who has given into one of the three lusts.

James wrote that we all are led astray by our own lusts, and then we are tempted.  God is never the author of temptation.  The lusts are the lust of the flesh (fulfilling your five senses in an addictive, obsessive way); the lust of the eyes (greedy longings in the mind and covetousness); and the pride of life (trusting yourself and your own resources more than you trust in God).  Make sure you operate in the wisdom from above today by closing the door to your own lusts, and pray that those you love will also operate in thet wisdom from above..
