I have a dear friend that began to speak to me about someone that they knew had a Spirit of Jealousy towards them. I had never heard that before. I mean an “actual” Spirit. At first, I really didn’t pay it much attention until they mentioned it twice. As a prayer intercessor; I am supposed to know when to pray and I learned a good lesson because I almost let it get past me. I decided to look into this Spirit of Jealousy. I was almost dismissing it as though it was no big deal. It’s a very big deal. It’s demonic; a form of spiritual warfare…yet so many need to be healed of it. Sometimes we believers can be too abstract. What was I thinking?
The Spirit of Jealousy Shows Up in The Bible Over and Over…
Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him, causing him to live in a strange country with no family as a slave…in jail no less.
Potiphar’s wife (who accused him of trying to make advances on her) clearly was jealous of the attention and respect that Joseph received from Potiphar.
Pharoah was jealous of the favor of God on the children of Israel, Moses and God Himself.
Satan is jealous of God, that’s why he fell from heaven, that’s why he continues to try to push people away from God. How does he do that. Set ups and affliction. When people say: “Why did God let that happen?” I say to myself: “It’s prayer time.”
Saul was overcome with a Spirit of Jealousy towards David, which was demonstrated in his efforts to kill him. Saul was jealous because the people exalted David (for killing Goliath) over (Saul) the king.
Esther surely faced jealousy as did Mordeci.
Jesus faced jealousy from many including the Pharisees.
Paul faced jealousy from people who may not have understood why God chose him considering his past life of oppression against Christians.
Jezebel’s Spirit of Jealousy eventually led to her demise.
I could go on and on.
Jealousy has led to all kinds of missteps and crimes: robbery, death, stealing and killing!
THE REAL QUESTION IS WHETHER JEALOUSY CAN BE EQUATED WITH SICKNESS?
Jealousy is a form of sickness. The more extreme it is; the greater the consequences. The world has a phrase which says: “I was sick with jealousy!” That’s interesting. Don’t let it be your confession; that you’re sick with anything. The spiritually correct phrase is: “I’m being challenged.”
The bible speaks:
Proverbs 14:30: A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
There’s a whole lot more to say on this subject; stay tuned.

God loves you. I know it. I have lifted you up in prayer everyday and will continue to do so. I was originally praying for financial, physical, psychological, emotional or any other kind of healing and then I stopped. I had to. The bible says that” by his stripes we were healed. That means you,( your sister, your brother, your mother, your father, your friend, your cousin etc.) already are. Even, if it doesn’t look like it. I always say especially if it doesn’t look like it.
I have a wonderful example for you, but it’s going to do one of three things. It’s either going to make you laugh, think I am crazy or it’s going to make you be astounded. Okay, here goes. Everyday I go to the library because I have to write my books and research. I always ask the Holy Spirit to reserve me a parking space in the first or second row. Sometimes, I just ask for the first row. I have a witness for all of this too. But, I’ll tell you about that later. Today, I sent my prayer out early and not at the last minute. Our new library here is extremely popular. A decent parking spot in the first four or five rows is treasured. Forget the front row. No one comes out. A lot of people think the people who work there take the good spots. But, I don’t have to worry about that. I have faith. Another reason that this is important is because going to the library is not my hobby. I like it, don’t get me wrong. But when I go, I go on a mission. God sends me there to do what He has called me to do. When you are called, you are a V.I.P. in my book.
Okay, so I arrived at the library and looked. It was quite crowded and there were no spots in the front row. Not at all phased, I drove around again. Without hesitation, I said: let me just sit here in the front row and wait for my spot. It is promised to me, it is mine.
About two seconds after I said that, a lady and a man came from nowhere and pulled a mini van out right in front of the door. I praised God. He is that good!
Last I wrote to everyone, the response was overwhelming. Most people called, wrote or sent something and everyone’s message was exactly the same. “Your letter came at the exact right time.” Now, you know it isn’t me don’t you? I don’t have those type of abilities. Actually I look at some of your names in my phone book and I think I just choose them randomly. You see, there are about two hundred or more names and addresses and usually I’m only sending fifty letters at a time. Lately, it has only been possible because someone sent me stamps in this mail. (smile)
Remember that storm I was telling you about…that was nothing. Even though some might have thought that the days that followed were worse, I didn’t.
I decided to travel to travel to Toronto to save souls for Christ. Originally I planned to go with one of my friends from early morning prayer. Every obstacle that you can imagine came up against us. When you decide to work for God, the rewards are great, but the tribulation will come. I think we ended up with several plans to go with various people. At one point it was so funny, people kept saying: “How are you getting to Toronto?” and I would say: “I don’t know how. I just know I’m going.” You see, I was able to do that because I stayed close to God and I kept getting the message that I was going. So I stood on that word. It all worked out at the very last minute. I went. It was wonderful! Toronto is so diverse. We met people from all different backgrounds. There was no confusion, no division. It was very nice. I’ll tell you, I had two praying roommates! They prayed away a horrible headache that I had. When I drove away from that city, I had written down fourteen revelations and I had an idea for a revolutionary book. God is so faithful.
Enough about me, let’s talk about you. Whatever you are believing God for, He wants you to have it. All that you need is faith. The bible has a lot to say about faith, for example:
The just shall live by faith. Habakkuk 2 v. 4
Thy faith hath made thee whole…Matthew 9 v. 22
According to your faith be it unto you. Matthew 9 v. 29
Have faith in God Matthew 11 v. 22
Thy faith hath saved thee. Luke 7 v. 50
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22 v. 32
If you need to know about any area in your life that you want to stand on based on God’s word do this. Look in the subject area at the back of your bible. It is called the Concordance. You can look up many subjects back there. They will tell you where to find all of the scriptures that apply to your need. Look them up and read them daily. While you’re at it apply your faith and you’ll be successful. A lot of you who get this will say I already know this. So, it makes even me wonder why am I sending this to you. I don’t know, but there is a reason. Maybe, you need to apply more diligence, get rid of unforgiveness, praise God more, spend more time in the word or maybe it’s just a confirmation that you are doing everything right and that you have been patient and that you are about to reap a wonderful harvest. I sure hope so.

Many, O Lord my God are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. (I’ve lost count)
Psalm 40 v. 5
My Dearest Friend,
Perhaps I know you. Maybe I don’t. I didn’t really know the lady at the bank who took the time to point me to the light of God. I didn’t see the ministering angels moving out each day to prosper my way.
I’ve been thinking about you and your family. To think that I just started off mailing letters to a handful of people not very long ago, and now am posting them on the internet! It’s an incredible thing! I just started writing to three people to cheer them up and from their responses, I had the inclination to reach out to more people. You didn’t get this letter because something is wrong with you, you got it because something is “right” with you. I’ve got to tell you this. I have come to recognize that people who receive these letters are at different faith levels, so if I try to think too hard about the right words to say to people on all the different levels, I will never get any letters out. So, I don’t do that anymore, I just send the message and it’s up to you…what you will do with it.
Most of you know my brain tumor story. They removed it, it wasn’t malignant and I was “supposed” to be able to celebrate, right? Well, that didn’t happen right away. It was a very nasty tumor.
The doctors forgot to tell me that there was a possibility that I might have a stroke during the surgery (I did) and they failed to mention that I might lose the ability to talk properly, to walk and I’m really glad they didn’t tell me about the short term memory problems that would surely come with a vengeance or I might have gotten cold feet. But, you see, I did not put my trust in the doctors. Now, I know a lot of people, but at that time in my life I just happened to have been in touch with more people than any other point
in my life. This is important because when I got sick, I was not only in touch with God, but I miraculously was surrounded by”high level” prayer intercessors. I was teaching Weight Watcher’s classes at the time that I got sick. My “students” went all out for me! My friends from work were absolutely awesome! They were the best friends that anyone could ever have. I not only had worked at five offices, but I was in touch with everybody! My family was so supportive too; especially my husband and my mother. My faith level was so high, that I expected to go through it mightily…I did…but it wasn’t on my time table. It was on God’s time table. I didn’t expect to write this, but someone needs to hear this. Perhaps it is you or someone that you know.
IT CONTINUES………..
The chief neurosurgeon waited at my bedside after surgery. I wasn’t feeling too good and I couldn’t talk. I didn’t know yet that walking was going to be a really big issue for me. My
mother and my husband John formed a cordon at my bedside. They weren’t going to let anyone run over me. (smile) The doctor wanted to go back in and do more surgery in two weeks. I wasn’t up for it, so I simply told her (the doctor), I’d let her know when I was feeling more like myself again and then we could ”talk” about it. She was pushing pretty hard, but my mom stopped her. She left me with the following message: “We’ll have to go back in and do brain surgery every three to four years, it’s going to grow back!” The days ahead were very tough for me. I was messed up. I became extremely depressed and at that time, I didn’t know what to do. I pulled away from most people and almost lost myself in the process. If I believed the doctor’s report, you could characterize my life as being very inauspicious.
The only way that I got through it all was because I realized something… God loved me. God was protecting me, leading me and guiding me. I relearned walking which was really hard. I overcame a horrible speech impediment that was embarrassing. My balance was off and my memory was down for the count. I had minatory headaches for eight years before the surgery. Had them ten years after surgery. They were terrible. I was healed of them earlier this year.
I was praying for somebody else and God honored me. Because of Him, I outlasted a wheelchair, a walker, a three legged prong cane and went back to school and got two degrees. The two degrees…not by my power in any way. God had multiple purposes for sending me to get them, but one of the first benefits that I got may surprise you. You see, I became an expert researcher on brain tumors and even wrote two theses. It was after all that studying that I could see for the first time the real miracle that had taken place in my life. There was no earthly way I was supposed to survive that tumor! None. By the time school was over, there was no visible sign of my illness or injuries from surgery. I was extricated! I never had brain surgery again. They took pictures again and again, but there was nothing there. They couldn’t understand it. Okay, I got healed and it was great, but it doesn’t stop there. I have to help others. I have to get Gods’ message out. If He would do all that for me, He would do that and MORE for you. Sickness is not always physical. Most of the time, it isn’t. We were all meant to be whole and healthy!
Many of you know my story, but I just want to remind you that HE is a God of Miracles. Please remember this for anything that you face because HE is there. I love you take care and I’ll write soon. I continue to pray for you all each and every day by name -making petitions and I expect things to be well with you.
Thanks so much to all of you who write those beautiful letters, give words of encouragement and those of you who call. In fact, thank you if you just pray for everyone in need and those who receive this letter. I expect Blessings to pour forth because of it. I know that all of your schedules are busy and important and I cherish you.
Everyone Please Be Blessed indeed! Love Elaine Davenport
