Very True Vanessa, Wordly or fleshy pride is the pits but as the Scriptures below confirm and I'm sure you will agree, we do need to take Pride or Glory in who we are and for others in Christ Jesus or we will minanise and ignore how Wonderful it is and not give Heartfelt Thanks to Him. Gal6:4-2Cor5:12-27- 2Cor7:4-Jas1:9. Blessings for Christ-mas and the New Year.
Nay. Pride is of Satan, contrary to the meekness and lowliness of Christ. The anointing of my Holy Father teaches that it is impossible for the proud to be thankful, even fruitful to GOD, for he receives not the gifts of GOD. For pride is to praise thine own self, not GOD. It is written, The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
True I am, wordly pride or fleshy glory in how great we think we are is very much Satan's focus but the Scriptures confirm we are to have Godly Pride or Glory in who we are in Christ Jesus and others too because without Him we are all nothing But it seems some don't know the difference between what is Earthly or Spirital like with God's Love Joy Peace Wisdom and Pride and so there reject His too.
For the very lie ye now speak, it is written in the Holy Scriptures, Now we call the proud happy: yea, they that work wickedness are set up: yea, THEY THAT tempt God are even delivered. Verily I tell ye, Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: And I will punish the world for THEIR evil, and the wicked for their iniquity: and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease.
My Holy Father teaches me that man must lose all pride to be fruitful in Christ and to be thankful to GOD. Pride has no place in Christ Jesus as pride is contrary to the meekness and lowliness in Christ's heart. For it is written of Christ, I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just: because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.
