The purpose of this article: Speaking to men-unborn! I had been writing for ages, and have no special person in mind!

I Must warn you that you cannot fight envy on your own. You will need Devine help. Because, sometime the person that envied you is your very "Right hand man." It is easier for an envious person to jump off the Delaware Memorial Bridge than to admit to envying. Envy can dig in deeper than tick. An envious person will poison you, lie on you, spread rumors about you and even use their keys to mark up your new car. They will even step on your dung, as if they are stepping on a roach if they know it come from you. The three first visible signs of envy are “sarcasm, go to hell looks, and cold shoulder. Whenever somebody is bearing envy, they will always try to debate anything the other person says, good or bad.

Acts 13:45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

Acts 17:13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.

Do Not Count On A Envious Person To Change.

The worst envy that you will ever encounter; is the envy among religious people. Christians envy is different from the envy that you saw among sinners. In other words, we displayed envy differently: For example: If you can sing, the envious believers will pretend that you can only crow, and not sing. They will pretend that something is wrong with you, yet they cannot point out what is wrong. Christians envy only gets worst. We saw where King Saul made twenty-one attempts on David’s life. Do not count on envy to get better. When the envious person befriends you; that is when you must be on high alert. He she is coming closer to deliver the stab I call. “Below the rib stab.”

1Sa 18:6 And it happened as they came in, as David returned from striking the Philistine, the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music. 1Sa 18:7 And the women answered as they played, and said, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 1Sa 18:8 And Saul was very angry, and this thing was evil in his eyes. And he said, They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given only thousands. And what more can he have but the kingdom? 1Sa 18:9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward. 1Sa 18:10 And it happened on the next day the evil spirit from God came to Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. And David played with his hand, as at other times. And a spear was in Saul's hand. 1Sa 18:11 And Saul threw the spear. For he said, I will strike David even to the wall. And David drew back out of his presence twice. 1Sa 18:12 And Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him and had departed from Saul.

The only way to survive among envious people is what I am going to teach you in this article. I do not come across anybody that suffers among envious people as I do. When I came into the United States. My English was so poor. They give me a translator at emigration. Today I am holding a Doctoral degree. Many people have already stopped talking to me.

The First Line Of Defenses Against Envious People.

Never eat or drink with an envious person, also; the group he or she hangs out with, you must be aware of them, because this group is a rat nest, nothing good will ever comes out of it.

1Co 5:11 But now I have written to you not to associate intimately, if any man called a brother and is either a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

This verse of scripture is a very serious verse, you must be able to prove these things, and do not go by hearsays, or what you feel. Can you prove it that he or she is a fornicator, and a covetous person?

Be Able To Pick Upon Envy In People Quickly

When you have talent, grace, style and charisma. You stand out like flies on a horse's tail. An envious person can pick you out within five second. Pick you out, hate you, and do not like your spirit. Also goes on to plan your downfall, all within five to ten minutes, of seeing you for the first time. I went into a certain store to buy gas. The attendant was a young black girl. She took my money but refuses to turn the pump on. During the conversation, she told me that she does not like Jamaicans. My pants were up at my waist and properly belted, it did not drop down so people could see my backside, so she assumed me to be a Jamaican.

Once envy is discovered, there is little that the person can do to you; however, that little is like a nightmare. You must be able to walk into a room and pick upon envy before you step out. You must be able to catch envy from it was just conceived in the spirit of the person. It remains there eating away at them, and getting worst as the day goes by. If you only know envy when the people begin to act it out, you are months too late. He is acting it out now, because he is making progress in bringing you down. He convinced others that there is something wrong with you. Your success has gone to your head and that you are wearing your backside upon your shoulder. He or she is passing on the offense, and is turning others into a vampire of hate all around you.

You Must Never Help A Person If You Can Prove That He Or She Envies You

Robert Greene in his book. The 48 Laws of power. Page 408. Do not try to do favors for those who envy you; they will think you are condescending to them.” Helping someone that envies you only make the envy got worse, because now they owe you something for helping them and that is intolerable to them.

Envy also has a disguise. You have to be able to pull the panties off envy in disguise, to see the stink. I found out that to really catch envious people you have to be paranoid, as hell. Sometime being paranoid will save your life. One man I know was so paranoid that he went back to his place of business and lacked himself in. Later in the night, it was his best friends and best employs that came in to rob the store. Had he come out of hiding he would have been killed in his own store. Mr. Greene says in his book. Excessive praises. Slap on the back is softening you up for the knife. Slander, and criticism is coming from an envious person, you should not take to heart, because nothing coming from such people are true. Envy can be seen in peoples' eyes, right behind their dark glasses, it can be heard in their words. Both love, envy and hate can be seen in the eyes, in the actions, in questions, in sarcasm. When the envious person is asking questions to show you up, you need to ask. What is the reason behind these series of questioning?

Do you know the answers to the questions you are asking? He or she will reply. Had I known them I would not be asking. You must now reply by saying: I am quite surprised that someone of your standing does not know this simple first grader answers? You have to crush them with intelligence. Give them nothing to crow about. Again, whenever it is convenient to you give them a bad pronunciation or a bad grammar to feed off. Then knock the wind out of them by correcting it in the other sentence.

Out Rank And Out Degree Them.

To really put the crushing blow upon envious people is to continually going forwards with your education. If you cannot out rank them on the job, you can out degree, in other fields. Sometime these digs in deeper on the job, and control management so you will not get any advancement. However that does not prevent you from out degree them. If they cut you out of the school system, go to school online.

Find Ways To Keep Envious People That Are Above You From Getting Under Your Skin

An envious person is not going to speak to the person he or she envied peaceably. Make your conversation short as possible when dealing with the person who envied you. If they are above you on the job, do everything by the book. Try to avoid them from coming to speak to you. Do not show any sign of fear, you only do not want to have a conversation with such a person.

Genesis 37:4 (KJV) And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.

The feelings that someone else is more intelligent than we have been almost in- tolerable. We usually try to justify it in different ways: He only has book knowledge, whereas I have real knowledge.

Avoid Letting Envious People Know Your Real Plan

Never seek confrontation or attention. Be able to disarm an envious person. Never be so foolish as to believe that you are stirring up admiration by flaunting the qualities that raise you above others. By making others aware of their inferior position, you are only stirring up unhappy admiration, or envy, which will gnaw away at them until they undermine you in ways you cannot foresee. By Robert Greene.

It is never easy to hide success. It is almost impossible. How can an educated person hide it? How can a person perform less than their training? You have taken your training so you can win, why should you lose just to make an envious person stop being envious of you? The secret is to be able to identified envy before it strikes.

Hide Your Success If You Can

It is good wisdom to hide your success, until you are, out of reach of those who envy you. Envious people go looking for something to be envious of. Successes have a way to show up in the clothing that we wear. Be careful how you out dress, those above you, or those who are a friend of those above you.

Be Able To See Envy At Unfolding Itself

A friend of mine who is very paranoid, says he would want to drop that attitude, since it offends others, but much time it saves him. He thinks the snake he hangs around was dead; actually, they were only playing possum and waiting for the right moment to strike.

Run Fast And Run Far

Proverbs 27:4 (KJV) Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

James 3:16 (KJV) For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
