Spirit Of Comparison

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

The biggest ministry killer is the spirit of comparison. Celebrate your differences and embrace your diversity…Selah

    Funny, I had a thought this morning and I immediately rebuked it when I did… but I happened to be looking at a news website that is a wordpress…and they have one of those themes you buy, and while I’ve never heard of it, it looked like a big deal… And it wasn’t that my thought was bad, it was good…but I felt convicted for thinking, “I wish mine was like that…. oh, I wish I had their theme…etc. etc.” And then the Lord convicted me, saying, “But you work for me…they do not. Aren’t you happy with what I’ve blessed you with?” And I felt guilty..apologized to Him, and clicked the X…leaving the page. I said, “God bless them for what they’re doing, and thank You Lord for what You have blessed me with. I am Yours!”

      Comparison can be sneaky, unless we get our entire identity in the Lord. He calls us into relationship and wants to be Lord in all areas of our lives. Thanks for sharing. πŸ˜€

        Amen. I think we all have a ‘whisper in the ear’ from time to time..it’s what we do with it that matters…even those little seemingly innocent ones! God bless you!

        We can have heaven on earth, as the prayer of Yeshua is answered. Nothing like a lifestyle of worship with dancing and singing and having the angels join in with us. Hallelujah!

        Praise the Lord! For though we live in a house of flesh, we do not walk according to the flesh..but the the Spirit of truth! To God be the glory forever and ever, amen!

        Yes, it is amazing what happens when our flesh is killed and the Spirit rules us. We must decrease and he increase.

        Amen! Good night..I’m off to bed to say my prayers and get some sleep. I love you gals very much…very very much. Always praying for our family, as we are one in Him…through Jesus, because of His ultimate act of love in giving His life. And, always praying for those who do not know Christ. How terrible the suffering I go through would be if I didn’t have the comfort and the confidence in Jesus.

        I pray all would come to know this wonderful peace; the peace that can be found even when things are absolutely horrible… given by the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. How sad to NOT have that..and so many who are in bondage..in literal spiritual chains…the burden they carry, yet Christ wants to carry their sorrows for them..and they either don’t know it, or have been told and reject it.

        We must always remember to pray earnestly for these…. we are all just one heartbeat away… and each morning we awake, it is only because God isn’t finished..and He allowed us to do so. I remember this as I humble myself before Him daily. For we were made to serve Him…not the other way around.

        Goodnight precious sister(s).

    Comparing ourselves with another person is using the wrong measure. Our goal is Christlikeness.
