Then further backed by Proverbs 16:18. PRIDE, is the very essence of refusing to recognize God and His truths. I can can do it, I know the way, I can be greater (what Satan said) than the Most High. Proverbs explains very plainly that approach goes before destruction. Rebellion and pride go hand in hand and would explain partially why even faced with the prospect of physical and spiritual destruction a person would deny Christ. Pride can become so entrenched in our lives we will develop a hardened heart incapable of repentance. Some of those who claim to have secret knowledge of God's principals and receive special prophetic guidance sound pretty prideful....Hopefully those who recognize the mis-alignment to God's Word pray for the lost. Then if possible in love question the individual specifically to show them in God's word the confirmation of what they're saying. Even some of the disciples got full of themselves and Jesus gently corrected them by calling a child to Himself saying, "You must become like one of these"<br /><br />May God continue to instruct us in His ways with grace, mercy, compassion, and paitence.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
