Here is Wisdom

Pride

Only those who know they are sick
Seek out The Physician...

Yet those who perceive themselves as well
Will in no wise come to Me, keeping Me at bay;
They remain seated firmly in the darkness
Of their own understanding,
Resting upon their laurels by which
They have highly esteemed themselves...

Says The Lord.

Notoriety

Notoriety is a stumbling block at the
Feet of the prideful, and fame puffs up...

Pride goes before a fall,
And fame is short-lived...

Lo, a famous man is honored
More in his death than in his life...

Yet what does it profit?
For the meek shall inherit the earth.

Forbidden Fruit

If the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil,
Then pride is the tree and notoriety its branches;
Death shall be the reward
Of all those who eat from it...

Yea darkness is reserved for all those
Who take shelter in its shade.

The Meek and the Foolish

The wise are quiet and know when to speak,
And the humble are barely noticed...

Yet the prideful announce
Themselves as with a trumpet,
And the plight of the slothful
Is made plain by their complaint.

Blurred Vision

One who answers a matter in the name of The Lord, while being ignorant or unsure, is foolish. And one who judges a matter without knowledge leans upon pride, wearing pretense as a garment.

Thus the one who steps
In front of Me shall surely stumble,
And the one who seats himself
Upon My throne shall be cast down...

For pride does indeed come before the fall,
And those who judge without knowledge
Shall be made to sit upon the ground...

I AM THE LORD.

Building the Gallows

Vanity is a rope, and pride builds the gallows;
Envy leads to hate, and jealousy
Brings forth evil thoughts...

Therefore, beware of the thoughts of your heart,
Lest you follow in Haman’s error
And walk in the way of Cain,
To your own demise...

Says The Lord.

The Broken and the Proud

The broken sinner who repents, I know. Yet the prideful man who considers himself righteous, I do not know. Indeed, he shall be found a liar in the Day of Reckoning. For there is none righteous, no not one, save The Son of Man only.

Therefore I ask you,
Shall the broken sinner be justified
In his need, in his fervent desire?...

He shall indeed be justified in My sight!...

For I shall clothe him with righteousness
And cover him with grace;
In his times of weakness My strength
Shall sustain him, and in My love
Shall he be made whole!...

Behold, by My life is he healed!

Yet the proud resist Me, and the arrogant want no part with Me as I truly am. For they have clothed themselves with the glory of men, a quickly fading flower. Their comfort is in their riches, and their solace is in their accomplishments, which shall leave them soiled and bruised in the day of their calamity, says The Lord.

Anathema

Thus says The Lord: As it is written, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge! And because they have rejected knowledge, I must also reject them!... In all their forsaking of Me are they taken away! On account of their pride they reject Me, and in their arrogance do they hold fast to their own way, treading the wide path!...

Therefore are the walls of Jerusalem broken down!
Thus is the vineyard of The Lord tread down!

Behold, the vats overflow, every vessel is tipped,
All new wine evaporates in the fire!...

And still, My people are not saved!

Grace to the Humble

Behold, The Lord raises His voice
Within the hearts of the elect!...

Yet His silence bears witness
Against those who refuse to hear.


Pride is a veil held fast
Over the heads of the arrogant;
It shall cover them in the day of darkness...

Yet the way of the elect is a crown of glory,
And grace covers them!

Strength in Weakness

A man’s strength is revealed
In confronting his greatest weakness,
Yet a man’s greatest strength
Becomes his enemy
When pride enters in...

Yet My strength is made perfect
In My servant’s weakness...

Says The Lord.

Without Hesitation

Blessed are My servants who seek to
Obey My commands without hesitation,
For their trust is apparent;
Blessed are those who seek to please Me,
For in them am I well pleased...

For no man can step forward without trust,
And one who is void of belief is
Consumed by doubt and fear,
And I have already told you that pride blinds
The eyes and arrogance stops the ears...

Therefore let My servants step
Forward without hesitation, and ask,
That their blessing may be compounded
And their belief increased!...

Says The Lord.

Envy

Envy is a double-ended sword. One end is covetousness, piercing the heart of those who envy; the other is pride, piercing the heart of those being envied. Behold, envy is also a snare. For those who envy are held captive by covetousness, and those who are envied are easily ensnared by pride.

Therefore repent, and place
All your trust in The Messiah...

Make Him your focus,
Your only desire, and He will keep
Your foot from being taken...

Indeed, HE will preserve your life.

Unrestrained

Consider this, says The Lord; ponder it and also receive it: By good works you will not find Me, yet good works are found in Me. And by My works shall you begin to know Me, for My works shall be done in you.

Yet understand this also: Where human power is, pride follows close behind. Yet one who surrenders to The Lord will be given eagle’s wings. Yea, nothing shall be impossible for them, for I shall be with them and in them, says The Lord... In that day, wheresoever I am will My servants be also, and wheresoever I go My servants will follow. And whatsoever I decree will be done in an instant, and those who are chosen will go for Me without hesitation, and that which I speak in this place will be heard in another.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">
<i>And no more shall My servants be restrained,
By any means! Declares The Lord...

For it is I, The King of Glory,
Who has spoken it.

Prayers of the Sincere in Heart

Prayer request: Please pray that pride won’t become an issue for me, because I just wanna walk with YahuShua only.

[The Lord answered]

In your request is wisdom;
For those of a sincere heart,
Whose prayer is to flee from pride,
Have received of their request
Already in the asking...

Whereby they have also begun
To build up a hedge about themselves,
Because of their intent...

Says The Lord.

Pride Goes Before a Fall

2/8/11 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For The Lord’s Little Flock, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
(Regarding a brother in Christ who fell away)

"And what shall I do when My sons choose to go their own way, running far from Me, squandering that which I had given them?[1] Beloved, I shall surely let them go, I shall let them run far away; I shall let them do all they have purposed in their hearts to do, until they can run no further, until the bitterness of deceit wears them out and their pride weighs heavily upon them, and they fall hard upon the ground. Then shall they stop and consider, turning back to look, and there will I be, waiting.

Therefore hear and understand, beloved: The moment pride enters a man, the moment he stands in front of Me, to look elsewhere, is the same moment My hand is removed. For I have shown you, My servants, what is good and that which I require: That you should do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.[2] Yet how can one behold My face while looking elsewhere, seeking glory for themselves? And how can one who has stepped in front of Me walk in My footsteps? Beloved, how shall one who runs away from Me, to tread another path, take My hand?

And so they must first be greatly humbled,
They must fall hard upon the ground...

Until the revelation of their error comes
Full circle, until they are truly ready
To give up their life for My sake[3]...

Says The Lord."

The Pride of Man Shall Be Bowed Down

2/19/12 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
For the Sons of Promise, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

"Behold, My words shall increase by measure,
And pass through the multitudes like fire!...

Each word a flame which can not be quenched!
Every diatribe a relentless fire breaking through
The lines, surmounting every obstacle,
Crossing every border, inundating every land!...

And the pride of man shall be bowed down,
And the arrogance of man utterly humiliated![4]...

Says The Lord."
