DO NOT EVER DARE TO THINK EVIL OF OTHERS.
And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? And Saul eyed David from that day and forward. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul’s hand. 1 Samuel 18: 8-10.
Do not ever dare to think evil of others. Also, even never speak evil of others. Don’t ever even dare to speak a single word against others though they have harmed you a lot. This is very dangerous. This disturbs greatly your life. This was proved right in the past and still holds right even today. This must be kept in your mind because you should remember always that you are living on this earth surrounded by spiritual world. Speaking or thinking evil of others surely invites evil spirit into your life.
An evil thought or evil eye will definitely make you full of darkness. It is written – Saul eyed David from that day and forward. His thoughts were become envy. King Saul had an evil eye on David. His body had become full of darkness. This is because- The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Luke 11:34.Remember, Our Lord does not like to reside in your darkness.
The movement he started thinking evil of David, you may notice two things happened:
(1) The Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul (1 Samuel 16:14) (2) An evil spirit from the Lord troubled him (1 Samuel 16:14).
Thinking evil of others or speaking evil of others may make you to lose the presence of the Lord in your Life. This was what happened in the life of King Saul.It is written-The Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul. Where the Lord is – there is peace and freedom. If he is not with you, then the peace in your life disappears. Read this verse- Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. John 14:27. On the contrary, the evil spirit creates every kind of trouble in your life. You may notice that the evil eye of King Saul invited the evil spirit. It came into his life the next day itself. See- It came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul. In this context, it is important to read this verse: Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: neither give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27. Do not carry your evil thoughts or sins to the next day. Confess and give them up by tonight. Otherwise, this will invite the devil into your life. Remember- Eye and thoughts are interrelated. You evil thoughts or words concerning others or evil eye on others really invite evil spirits in to your life. This will deprive the peace in your life as it had happened to King Saul. This will surely trouble you.
