Anonymous,
Let me assure you that you are on the right road to true freedom, because you know that you have a problem and you are seeking help for it. You need to understand what jealousy is, and how it grew out of control in your life. Once you understand this you need to bring it under control and close the door to the negative affects it has over every area of your life.
Jealousy is a natural part of our emotions that should operate in our soul the same way pain operates in our body. It comes on us to warn us something is wrong with a relationship we are in, and that the relationship needs attention.
God used jealousy to get Israel’s attention when they were flirting with other spirits. He did this by blessing one of the people that was Israel’s enemy in the hope of provoking them to see their sin and change.
What you have is rebellious jealousy or undisciplined jealousy. The bible calls that covertness which is a sin that needs to be repented over.
The Holy Spirit has already convicted you of the sin, so ask forgiveness for the sin of covertness. Then resist it by preferring others more than yourself. Learn to share what you have with others, that is how simple it is to get out of where you’re at. But believe me it is easier said than done. Ask the Holy Spirit for help, He will give it to you. Don't you wish your parents would have disciplined you more in this area as a child?
