Pride - The Killer - Lisa Patterson

To be humble is God's way. Numbers 12:1-9. Pride is dangerous. Miriam was mad at Moses
marrying an Egyptian woman and leprosy struck her for her pride. Moses was humble. and God
spoke to him face to face. Others are by visions.James 4: 7 Submit yourselves to God and resist the enemy and let the Lord in. Resist
the devil and he will flee. Joy is to spend time with each other. He will lift you up when you are
humble. I Sam 15:17 When you were small in your own eyes, you became head of the tribes
Israel. .Do not compare yourself. I Peter 5:5-7. Young people submit to your elders and clothe
yourselves with humility that He may exalt you in due time. Cast your care on the Lord. Ps. 69:30. He has got something to say to us in our mess.
Zephaniah- seek humility. Michah 6:8 He has shown what is good,  The Lord wants to do justly
and love mercy. Being submissive, II Samuel 28. To be humble is to be teachable and says thanks.
Proverbs 2:4 Humble yourself and seek my face and I will heal the land. Proverbs 22:4 By humility
and fear of the Lord are riches and honor- to be made whole. The wicked will be shown no mercy
if they do not turn away from their ways and let the Lord show them humility by His word and
way of life! There is a way of the Lord and humility is the way. He doesn't answer any other way
unless you are repenting of being in pride and everyone does but the Lord shows the way to get
past that to Him. He does not operate in pride. We must know this is the only way to Him as shown
numerous passages  in His Word. God loves us all but He is letting us know how to come to Him.
He is gentle and kind but will not permit jealousy or pride because it does not come from Him!
He would say, "Come unto me and let me set you free from all the adversary has in his pocket. Don't let him deceive you and show you the things of the world to get a glimmer from you to get you
off track. He will not back off so you must stay straight with me and see the way through. It is
always my way to come to me and not let the enemy play tricks with your head as he does so well
You must see the difference because the enemy is cunning and crafty. It's important to read me.
I am coming to break things off that are old and replace with new. Make it all like my puzzle I
put back together, the pieces to make it all fit together. So watch and see how I do this.Taking
old and replacing with new." The remnant he has called you to is for him.He doesn't put in a novice.
Pride will eventually kill you and there's no getting back once you are gone. We are eternal
and it is up to the person as to where they are going. Only the Holy Spirit can move you.
The Lord wants you to come to Him anyway you want to and do not have to "clean up." He
wants you the way you are. It is the will of the Father that no man should perish but all man
would come to me and lay it all down at His feet. He is the only way to the Father. All are
welcome to come and He invites you just the way you are! So, do not let this day pass by with
out letting the Father know you are ready. Days are short and nights are wicked. Time is getting
short and you may not see another day. It is the Will of the Father to come on in.Take advantage
of the offer everyday as He is waiting patiently for you! This is Lisa Patterson with the Good
News that Jesus Loves You and wants you to come today. No time to waste.
