When we use the word “jealous,” we use it in a sense of being envious of someone who has something we do not have. Being jealous indicates that we are not satisfied with what God has given us. In order to combat jealousy, we need to become more like Jesus and less like ourselves. We can get to know Him through Bible study, prayer, and fellowship with mature believers. As we learn how to serve others instead of ourselves, our hearts will begin to change.

Social injustice can be described as a situation in which dominant population is made known of the inequity that leads for others due to their relative position in the structure of power. Social injustice is also the way unjust actions are done in the society. Social injustice occurs in a situation where the equals are treated unequally and the unequal is treated equally.

The Bible has a lot to say on the subject of injustice. We know that God is in favor of justice; we know that He is against injustice, even in the most basic terms. God does not approve of partiality, whether we are talking about a weighted scale or an unjust legal system. There is no injustice in God at all.

Greed goes much further than money. A person can be greedy for money but also for fame, possessions, attention, compliments, gifts, another person’s time, and more.

Nurturing a giving and generous heart will drive greed out of our hearts by the power of the love of God. Sharing is the cure. Giving and being generous. God promised to give us richly all things to enjoy and Jesus said He came to give us abundant life. But this abundant life is not synonymous with more wealth, food, power, or things.

A generational curse is believed to be passed down from one generation to another due to rebellion against God. If your family line is marked by divorce, incest, poverty, anger or other ungodly patterns, you're likely under a generational curse.

We inherit many traits and preferences from our parents that aren't always a positive influence on ourselves or others. When we take on a sinful habit or belief that negatively affects our lives or those around us, this is known as a generational curse.

God has redeemed us from the curses being passed on from one generation to the next. This redemption comes as we understand that the root of our problems is in the spiritual realm. As we apply God's Word and power to our lives, and we choose to walk in righteousness and obedience to God, the chains of bondage will be broken. The freedom we have longed for can become reality!

Simply put, the Law of Attraction is the ability to attract into our lives whatever we are focusing on. It is believed that regardless of age, nationality, or religious belief, we are all receptive to the laws which govern the Universe, including the Law of Attraction. It is the Law of Attraction which uses the power of the mind to translate whatever is in our thoughts and emerge them into reality. In basic terms, all thoughts turn into things eventually. If you focus on negative doom and gloom you will remain under that cloud. If you focus on positive thoughts and have goals that you aim to achieve you will find a way to achieve them with massive action.

The church, both in the universal and local sense, is important because it is the primary technique through which God carries out his purposes on earth. The church is the body of Christ—his heart, his mouth, his hands, and feet—reaching out to the world. The church is the people of the Kingdom of God. At the same time, all believers are members of the universal church. The universal church is made up of every single person who has exercised faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, including members of every local church body throughout the earth. The church, therefore, is not a place. It's not the building, it's not the location, and it's not the denomination. God's people who are in Christ Jesus are the church. The purpose of the church is to love and worship God through Jesus Christ and make him known throughout the world.

Depression is a widespread condition, affecting millions of people, believers and non-believers alike. Those suffering from depression can experience intense feelings of sadness, anger, hopelessness, fatigue, and a variety of other symptoms. They may begin to feel useless and even suicidal, losing interest in things and people that they once enjoyed. Depression is often triggered by life circumstances, such as a loss of job, death of a loved one, divorce, or psychological problems such as abuse or low self-esteem.

There are some things that those who suffer from depression can do to relieve their anxiety. They should make sure that they are staying in the Word, even when they do not feel like it. Emotions can lead us astray, but God’s Word stands firm and unchanging. We must maintain strong faith in God and hold even more tightly to Him when we undergo trials and temptations. 

Oppression is a cruel or unjust exercise of power. Minorities were historically subject to oppression by those in power and, unfortunately, oppression still exists today. In every case, those who are in power or who are in control treat those who have no power unfairly and deprive them of certain basic rights or liberties.

When we are dealing with fear in the spiritual realm, we are usually dealing with the oppression of the devil and the fear of death. Satan does not want us to serve and worship God and will do anything to restrain us. In the world, the devil has two strategies. Either he tries to make us think he does not exist, or he tries to scare us into not obeying God’s will for our lives. The answer again is to face our fears with our faith in God.

It is our advice that you speak with God about your relationships. Pray to the Lord, asking Him to clearly reveal to you what He would have you do. Ask God to give you wisdom and discernment. God promises to grant prayer requests that are asked according to His will. Being wise and discerning are most definitely God’s will. God wants you to make good relationship decisions. God desires Christians to be joyous and enlightened as a result of their relationships. If you ask God with an open heart and humble spirit, He will give you the relationship advice you need.

When you are offended or disappointed by others and allow the hurt to grow in your heart, bitterness will take root. Characterized by an unforgiving spirit and generally negative, critical attitudes, bitterness and is sinful and self-defeating. They will color your conscious and unconscious thoughts and actions. Allowed to discharge, they will destroy and kill. However, they can be dispelled with love.

Like depression and other emotional stress, bitterness can aggravate or cause physical problems. You can be affected mentally, spiritually, and otherwise. Your relationships will always suffer.

God can free you from this sin. It is an oppressive and destructive emotion having its root in hate, which is likened to murder. You must repent. No one can have peace and happiness with such emotions tearing at him. If you have not done so, ask God to forgive you and to come into your life right now. He will deliver you from the power of the enemy.

If you are already a Christian, you should still ask God to forgive you for being bitter. Then ask Him to forgive anyone who may have hurt you, and toward whom you are bitter or resentful, even as He forgives you.

Instead of remembering with malice and hurt, remember with forgiveness. Then go one step further and ask God to forgive your offender. By forgiving and then asking God to forgive your offender, you release God to bless you and the other person.
