PRIDE (The destroyer of souls!)

 

Pride is so subtle, it makes you think you're self sufficient, you can do everything by yourself. It makes you believe that you don't need help, you're just fine, there's nothing wrong with you, and everything you do and say is right and it's everybody else who's wrong.

Pride will keep you from listening to great advice, whether it be from your parents, friends, your spouse, or God Himself! Pride and a haughty eye most assuredly comes before destruction. I myself was full of pride and even had an evil spirit of pride in me! I know this because one morning I heard the evil spirit cry out it's name, priiiiiiiiide, and I felt it leave me and go out the window! I praise God for His Holy Spirit who cast that devil out of me!

Pride can and will destroy your soul if you let it, and the only way to be delivered from pride is to humble yourself in the sight of the LORD! 

Psalm 10:4-6

The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts. His ways are always prospering; Your judgments are far above, out of his sight; As for all his enemies, he sneers at them. He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved; I shall never be in adversity.”

Pride is what brought down Lucifer, a covering cherub, that God created for His good pleasure. He became satan, a corrupted fallen angel, who has the power to deceive the whole world.

Ezekiel 28:17

"Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, That they might gaze at you."

That is what happens to many physically attractive men and women, they become so engrossed with themselves and their beauty, they become corrupt in the heart, and although their outward appearance may be appealing their inner self is very ugly!

As Christians we must fight the evil spirit of pride in every area of our lives. Don't resist correction, humble yourself when you realize you're wrong. Seek help from others, and offer to help them in return. Listen to advice from those who are more spiritually mature than you are, listen to those who are more experienced and learn from them. 

Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and HE WILL LIFT YOU UP!

In Jesus,

Prideful Hearts and Closed Ears!

The Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ to all who have ears to hear,

I was in prayer and much travailing today in my 5th day fasting and the Lord started talking to me in Jeremiah 13 about the people who say that they are from God and in reality are not. Those who even once used to be close to Him but now they are extremely far from anything that is godly. Once close to God does not mean you will be close to Him forever!

This blog post is really to call all sinners, all backslid and all those who deceive themselves saying and thinking  that they are disciples of Jesus Christ but are not doing what He asks them to do. The bottom line is: Either you are from God or you are not, there is not a "in between". Either you are a child of God or you are a child of satan. Whoever is not of God is also called wicked. Whoever DOES the will of God is of God. Whoever keeps sinning is NOT of God and did not know God!

This is what the Lord Almighty says:

I The Lord will ruin the great pride of wicked people who refuse to listen to my words, who follow the stubbornness of their hearts and go after other gods to serve and worship them, I will make them useless and allow no pity or mercy or compassion to keep Me from destroying them.

Psalm 81:11-12

¹¹ “But My people would not heed My voice,
And Israel would have none of Me.
¹² So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart,
To walk in their own counsels. 

Ephesians 5:3-7

³ But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; ⁴ neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. ⁵ For this you know,^[a] that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. ⁷ Therefore do not be partakers with them.

Hebrews 2:1-4

¹ Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. ² For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, ³ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, ⁴ God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

2 Peter 3:9

⁹ The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us,^[b] not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Proverbs 16:18

¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. 

Romans 13:11-14

¹¹ And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. ¹² The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. ¹³ Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. ¹⁴ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

May the Lord reward the obedient ones in these last days finding them worthy to escape what is coming,

The Small And The Great

Today me and my husband were praying and I heard these words: "The Little Ones Will Be Great And The Great Will Disappear".

These words reminded me of the humble and the proud and also the ones who are simple, have no name, are not recognized, are not famous and are despised and put aside, the Lord will lift them up and make them known, make them great in His kingdom. The ones who think they are great, famous, wise, recognized and important will be brought down low by the Lord's hands, for He is the Greatest of us all!

Matthew 23:12 - And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

James 4:10 - Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

Proverbs 29:23 - A man’s pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.

Matthew 18:4 - Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

1 Corinthians 1:27-29 - But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence.

I believe the Lord is already preparing the little ones for the great harvest. He is equipping them with His love, power, authority and grace for the harvest of a multitude of people that He chose for salvation.

That is why we should be accounted with the humble for the humble will be exalted by God in this age and in the age to come!

May this word bless you,

In Christ,
