WHO OWNS PRIDE!!!!
AND HOW CAN WE COME TO THIS CONCLUSION
Mankind has through the deceptions of Satan, stolen God’s glory in a vain effort to glorify himself. Mankind has used Satan’s vain excessive pride to elevate himself in Gods place, in the ways that mankind does belong and the way mankind thinks and lives. Can we determine somehow by looking at prides meaning, if there is truly someone or any being, who can rightfully claim true pride without being vain in their desires and intent of the heart ? (Mans Heart= Phil 3:18,19.)
The answer is yes !!!!
So let us try to determine who can truly be prideful, without being vain and why. Let us try to determine without the owner of true pride, displaying or acting out, with the vanity that mankind displays, in his vain attempt to exhibit pride by elevating self above others, and or God.
First we can look at prides true meaning and then look at the substance of pride and then the owner of pride, whom is not vain and prideful. Secondly we can look at the vanity in mankind, that is displayed with the use of pride in humans, and then the ultimate theft of God’s honor and glory through pride of mankind’s heart. (This we will call in this study, spiritual treason.)
First
Prides meaning …..1. a high opinion of one’s own worth or possessions.
2. Pleasure or satisfaction in something concerning ones self.
3. Something that one is proud of.
4. Too high an opinion of ones self.
5. Scorn others.
Prides substance… Pride in its unadulterated form, is the feeling and the thought, of knowing you are totally superior to all others, without any self doubt, questions or vanity against your claim to true pride. It is the thought and knowledge of being at the top, with no equal to which can challenge or question your claim or position. This is because everything is for you, by you, because of you and about you, therefore, this leaves out all others and their ability to compete with you. You stand alone in a class all by yourself . You are alone in a class all by yourself, in that you are not in need of the support of others or another, you have no real opposition by any others, because they are not worthy of your attributes of your pride , and there is no other that can match your abilities of pride. All things concerning your pride have their substance in you alone and because of you alone . All depends on you, you are sustained by you alone, all power is yours, you are totally self accomplished by the abilities of your self power, you are the supreme above all others and the only number one, that is by your self.
All religions [Are Just that, Religion] that kill for, or in the name of some god or a man and are therefore caused by the fleshes unholy vanity of selfish pride, and are therefore vain. Any god that needs and or depends on the arm of the flesh and strength of the flesh of mankind to prove himself and or accomplish his desires ends, is as weak as the flesh that he puts his trust in to accomplish his ends.
The Eternal Invisible God Spirit, can destroy with the breath of his mouth, through his Spoken Word. God need not the arm of flesh, to prove himself and or be sovereign, effective and or authoritative!
Therefore true pride consists of self confidence, self reliance, self efficiency, self supremacy and sufficiency, self dependency, self sustaining, pleasure in and of self, and pleasure in knowing beyond a shadow of any doubt your true value and self power. The fact is, that you stand alone, are alone in your true position of true pride. There is no equal with, beside you, or to you. The key word here is true or truth!
Is there any living force, substance, living being, living power or true authority, that can make such an awesome claim in and of self, by prides meaning?
Yes !!!!!!!!
The answer is profoundly yes, and is found only in one living being that can make such an awesome and profound claim to the fame and or glory of true pride.
The question of today begs an answer, to who owns pride according to the true meaning and value of its substance and definition.
ANSWER IS : GOD! GOD! GOD! AND ONLY GOD, the Great and only ” I AM That I AM, or I Am That I Will Be!”
We can start by going back to prides meaning and looking at each phase of it’s meaning, one by one to see how God owns true undefiled pride, without any vanity on his part or in him.
1. A high opinion of one’s own worth or possession .
According to the scriptures God created all (Col 1:16, Rev 4:11), owns all, and his value of his authority and power of his Word makes him totally worth his high opinion of himself. This is his true self glory. (Son [Word] glorifies the Eternal Father God, through the Eternal Spirit [Breath] of Gods presence.)
God’s honor is in his Eternal (Psa 138:2) word through his righteous judgment’s. Therefore, God takes pride in the Alpha and Omega of his Living Word, “Christ (1Pet 1:11)” and through his living Word he receives his glory and honor back to himself .
So let us look at : He created all , he owns all and his power through his living Word makes him worthy of his opinion of himself. Because of that power of this very Word, God is supreme and alone. His Word is the first and final authority of all things. He needs none, is sustained by none, needs not the authority of none, or the permission of none, the support of none and he needs not the power of none; because all is contained in, confined by and sustained by his powerful Living Word of Truth, the first and the last, Christ. See first PSA 107:20 then John 1:1-3,14, John 14:6, 1 John 1:1-3, Rev 1:1,8-11,18,19. Rev 19:13,16, Rev 22:16,17.
God through Christ created all (Col 2:9)…..I will give some scripture verses and try not to get into too much local church doctrines. There are too many stumbling stones in local church doctrines. The scriptures should always be the last and final word of truth in any matter concerning God. ( I must try and remember, that my intention is to stimulate (Hosea 12:10) you to think deeper and understand, things that are hard for some of us to grasp, 2PET 3:16. This is a book on true life (Chai, Hebrew number 18.), intended to reach the unsearchable, reachable and unreachable. I only hope that I do not get too far away from my teachings on life’s Spiritual evolution according to the scriptures.)
Gen 1:1. (Col 1:16, is Mark 1:1) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. We should take note that God’s Creative Power is his Eternal Word, God’s authority, is in his Eternal Word, God’s Message of Salvation and Communication unto Israel is in his Eternal Word (Psa 107:20, Psa 138:2, John 1:14.). Anything and everything exist for his pleasure through God’s Eternal Word.
Psalms 33:6 ….By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth (His word ).
Psalms 8 :3……When I consider the heavens the work of thy fingers, (Christ is the right hand of power, Exo 15:6 , Luke 22:69) the moon and the stars , which thou has ordained.
Isaiah 44:24…..Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer and he that formed thee from the womb, ” I am the Lord that maketh all things that stretcheth forth the heavens alone and spreadeth abroad the earth by myself ”.
John 1:1-3……In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God , the same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him ; and without him was not anything made that was made.( main subject here is : the Word ).
John 1:14, And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth, See John 14:6. Acts 17:24…..God made the world and all therein , seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth dwelleth not in temples made with hands.
Eph 3:9……..And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world that hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.
Rev 4:11…..Thou art worthy, O’ Lord to receive glory and honor and power : for thou has created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. We can conclude according to these scriptures, and there are many more that God made all things. Rev 19:13 He is called the word of God, Rev 19:16, King of kings Lord of Lords.
(a) God created all things.
(b) God owns all things.
(c) God’s power through his living word makes him worthy of his high opinion of himself
( This is God’s unadulterated Holy Sanctified Pride within himself through his Living WORD). Note : If God is truly God, then there is no vanity in his pride, but only reality in his Word of Truth and Glory unto the Father, by his Living Word of Truth. See 1Tim 3:16, Also Psa 107:20
(Only the invisible God of Israel, can lay claim on true pride.)
Still looking at the meaning of pride.
2. Pleasure or satisfaction in something concerning with ones self.
Is God really satisfied and pleased with what he has done?
YES! Absolutely so, according to scripture. We can start by looking in Genesis.
Gen 1:4,18, 12, 18, 21, 25, 31…Here we can see in all of these scripture, where God declared and said (Word) after seeing what he had created, He states, it was good.
These scripture, where God said it was good represents all created things. God made this statement seven times where he declared it was good, however in the 7 statement it was good he now declares, it is very good. This again shows that God took pleasure in all the things created.
Special Note: NIV Translation.
Rom 8:19-21 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to (See ISA 44:25 ) Frustration,(is of vanity) not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay (death, natural and Spiritual) and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
The difference between man and the rest of creation, is God gives every man a fee will and choice between good and evil, to discover himself and the path that he chooses to walk down in life. However, the rest of creation is subjected to vanity without the choice of free will through knowledge of good and evil, but are created to follow God’s laws. Therefore the fate of the rest of creation apart from man, is eternally sealed by God’s words and creative laws without free choice on their part. Their desires are based in instinct and survival, in random acts of vain repetition according to the desires in them to multiply and fill the earth as God has ordered. (However, the material world in which we live and life on this planet can be affected by the forces in evil spirits, that go contrary to what God has ordered in the beginning of creation. It is like a bullet that strayed because it has been affected by the wind. Which wind {spirit of John 10:10} blows on you?)
John 3:16 says God so loved the world (not just man), that he gave his only begotten Son as a means of escape from the curse of decay (death). The rest of the creation apart from mankind, suffers and waits because of the willful transgressions of the disobedience of mankind. They wait for the end time deliverance given through Christ Jesus unto mankind and then shall they be delivered also, Rom 8:21, Acts 3:21.
We have briefly looked at God saw that it was good in the first chapter of Genesis, now we can look at other things that please God.
Our next look into God’s pleasure will be looking at the Living Word of God, Christ Jesus. (How is God pleased by his Word?)
Co 1:19, 2:29For it pleased the Father that in him (Christ Jesus) should all the fullness dwell (as in the Godhead). We can see that God was pleased to give his Living Word first place above all that is created and his name Psa 138:2. See Heb 1:1-3, John 1:1-3, John 6:63, Heb 4:12.
Matt 3:17States. ” This is my beloved Son (Living Word John 1:14) in whom I am well pleased, (not just pleased but well pleased ”)
Heb 13:15,16 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually that is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name (Rev 19:13, Psa 138:2, Psa 107:20), But do good and to communicate forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. We can see here that God takes great pleasure in us through our praise, worship and prayers, that are the sacrifice of our lips unto Christ’s glory John 16:14.
Special Note: Pride on God’s part is him taking credit for the things that only he can do and perform by his Living Word. (This is his pride and self glorification through his Word.) God’s reward is the acknowledgment of who he is, what he represents through praise and worship by all creatures, and what is due him of mankind. Therefore, pride is God’s glory and when we exhibit excessive pride to elevate ourselves above God and or others, we are stealing God’s glory. God will share his glory with no one. Pride on mans part is nothing more than vain glory in foolish and futile ways. Mans reward will be the fruits of frustration, through vain foolishness. The results are scorn and mockery by God of mankind. Man’s acts of vain self made glory, are in fact acts of spiritual treason against Gods sovereignty in a spiritual way, as is Satan‘s failure also!
ISA 53:10…Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin. God was also pleased to make Christ a sacrifice for our sins.
By looking at and studying the scriptures, it is very apparent that God has used Christ the Lord not only to redeem man back to himself, but to also give eternal life through Christ. So we can also see that all of God’s satisfaction and pleasure comes to him through his Living Word Christ the Lord. See John chapter one verse 1 to 14 and John 1:1-3.
Still looking at prides meaning.
3. Something that one is proud of.
It is apparent through the scripture we have looked at and many more, that God is totally pleased in his Word, Christ alone and no other.
Why has God ordered and ordained things this way?
Because His Living Word Christ the Lord pleased the Father right up until his death and was then resurrected of men and glorified by God. So we can safely say, that God is proud of his Living Word and that includes the written {That symbolizes his word} and the spoken word that becomes the action of God’s desires through his Living Word.
Why? Because God is a God of honor and his honor is contained within his Living Word.
His Wisdom is in his Living Word. Col 2:2,3. 1Cor 1:24. Pro 1:7. Psa 104:24. ISA 11:2.
God will not tell a lie (Num 23:19), but his judgments are based upon truth and righteousness in His Word. {Jesus Christ the living Word}. Therefore, God’s very honor is at stake through his Word. This is why he has placed his promises (or his Word, see Phi 2:9, PSA 138:2 and Rev 19:13,16.) above his name.
In order for God to be a supreme ruler, he must maintain the integrity and order of his Word through his lasting promises, his blessings and even in his cures. They must all stand the test of the integrity of a supreme authority. God’s Living Word is that eternal authority that maintains the integrity of God’s truth, for Jesus Christ is that truth, John 14:6. There is no exception, there is no confusion, or second guessing with God, his Living Word is the final authority. His Word stands alone and is the absolute law that cannot be broken or altered by any, not even himself, See Matt 24;35, Mark 13:31 and Luke 21:33.
This makes God not only pleased and satisfied in his Word but also very proud of his Word, Matt 3:17. Thus, his pride and joy in its purest form, belongs to God through his honorable Living Word. (Or the glory his Word has given him.) His glorious Living Word has defeated the enemy Satan Matt 28:18, John 12:31.
4. Too high an opinion of ones self.
Only God can make these claims through true pride, without being vain in his imagination, because with God vain imagination is irrelevant and none existing, due to his being the source of all things through righteousness. All things are and exist by his Word. God does not have to imagine vainly anything, He just speaks things by his righteous Word, into being.
The things I have written about concerning pride, gives God the right to own true pride and him alone. All things are by him, exist because of him, are sustained by him and without him there is nothing, John 1:3, 1 Co 1:4-8. Apart from him we can do nothing, John 15:4,5. We must understand that we need God for the very air we breath.
5. Lastly is, scorn others.
Scorn meaning — 1. Look down upon; think of as mean or low. 2. reject or refuse as low or wrong.
If all mankind is created equal and there is no real true significant advantage between humans, (see section on prejudice and jealousy), then not any has the right or advantage over another and or to scorn another. We are all subject to the same weaknesses and downfalls.
The only one that has the righteous and lawful right to scorn or look down on another, is someone that is above another or all, blameless in every sense of the word and is beyond reproach. There is not one man or woman in this present day or past days on this earth, that is able to make this claim. However, God can, and did through his Holy Living Word. God is the only one that has the righteous lawful right to scorn and or look down on someone, without being a hypocrite in his judgments.
God is the true and righteous judge, and rightful author of any righteous judgment. This gives him the right to scorn or look down upon all, who have transgressed his righteous Word of truth, laws of his truth and the holy order he has established.
Pride on God’s part, is him taking credit for the things that only He can do and the power that only God posses. God’s reward is therefore our acknowledgment of who he is and what he represents to us through our praise and worship that is due him. This makes him gloriously proud in us, that allow him to transform us, See Heb 13:13-16 for Jesus bare our reproach before God, See verse 13.
Therefore pride is God’s glory and when we as mortal beings exhibit excessive pride to the levels of self elevation and or glorification in places where we do not belong, it is robbery of God’s praise and glory and his genuine pride. This is the same spiritual treason that Satan committed in his fall from God’s grace. {God will share his glory with no one, this means man or Satan ISA 48:11 .)
Secondly
Vanity through pride in mankind.
I have went into great detail on pride in the section that is called The Fall of Han. Therefore I will only briefly touch on mans vanity of pride here.
Vanity’s meaning—emptiness, worthlessness. 1. any thing or act that is vain, futile, idle or worthless. 2. The quality or fact of being vain, or worthless; futility. 3. The quality or fact of being vain or excessively proud of ones self or qualities or possessions; self made satisfaction without God.(This is what King Solomon understood about himself in his vanity, See Book of ECC.)
We can see by the meaning of vanity, show that all mankind in one form or a another displays this worthless empty vanity in his excessive prideful acts, all through his life.
By looking at the people of this world we can conclude with all honesty and sincerity of heart, that humans have lost touch with reality and have embraced the vanity of excessive pride. (Reality being in the truth and acknowledgment of God through faith.)
King Solomon put it best in the book of Ecc 12:7,8,13,14 and see also Gen 3:19, about mans vanity.
According to the scripture, mankind is vain in himself and needs God to rescue him from the vanity within mankind. Before we look at these scriptures we shall take a small peek at the master deceiver himself, the serpent that caused the transgression, that caused the fall from grace.
The serpent in the Garden of Eden deceived Eve into transgressing God’s Word, law and authority. The scriptures teach us, that the devil is a master at deception, and also crafty and cunning. He can make a lie look like the truth and a truth look like a lie. (2Cor 11:14). Because I have written in great detail about Satan in the Book section called the fall of man and other sections I will only touch here on this deceiver.
Gen 3:14,19 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, because thou has done this (deceived the woman), thou art cursed above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field, upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.(Satan’s bread-food or dust is the wisdom of foolish men)
In 2Thes 2:8-10 we can read as follows. And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. Even him, who’s coming (Christ’ coming), is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (Satan is a deceiver)
Also Rev 20 verse 10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone(After Christ appearing), where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
I would also like to add 1Tim 2:14. And Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived was in transgression. So Eve was deceived by the serpent and Adam was lead by the woman to transgress. (Adam-Disobedient)
The bottom line is, the devil will use any and every deceptive act to cause mankind to transgress God’s righteous Word and laws, See Matt 4:1-11) The only power Satan has, is either granted him by direct permission of God (Job 2:4-6) or through deception by the weak will of mankind. Aside from this, Satan is powerless and can do nothing to the believer, see John 12:31,32 Mat 28:18, Col 2:9 and 1 John 5:18. He deceives mankind into the willful act of destroying himself by pride, shame, and vain selfishness, through disobedience.
We can see that God has cursed the serpent and brought him down below the Holy Seed (Gen 3:14,15) and the creatures of the earth symbolically speaking. God has also taken away his place in heaven and filled him with a mind of confusion. If you notice the symbolical food given to him, you will notice it is dust. This dust represents mans flesh and mans confused state without God. The only spiritual food Satan has now is the spiritual food from below, that is from the confusion of fleshy mankind. Because he was separated from God’s Spirit and the knowledge of God’s Word the only wisdom he can depend on, is mankinds. Matt 16:21-23 – noting verse 23.
Note: Jesus states in the book of John 5:19,28 and 14:18,11, that he does what he sees the Father do and apart from the Father he himself can do nothing. (If Christ who is much more powerful then Satan, relies on the Father then Satan who is separated from the father is on his own.)
If Jesus has to receive instructions by imitating what he sees and learns from the Father, then where does this leave Satan that is now totally separated from the heavenly Father, by his transgressions. This leaves him as confused and as hopeless as mankind is, without God’s divine guidance and protection. Satan’s food is dust, or the transgressional and disobedient confused state of mankind’s fleshy and vain imaginations, in the separated state, from the divine God.
Verse 19 of Gen 3 states, in the sweat of thy face shalt thou (labor) eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust (separated fleshy state) thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return…..This is all part of the curse of God’s divine laws on disobedient mankind, that fell fate to the decay of corruption in body, mind, soul and spirit, without the divine to guide (as Jesus was guided) and protect. This shows, that all is confusion without the divine love and dependency of God’s Mighty Divine Protection.
If Satan then relies on obtaining wisdom, it is not of God nor from God, but of mankind seeing that he is now separated from God’s wisdom and no longer in God’s presence to learn what he sees from God. (For Satan cast out see Rev 12:7-11 and see Col 2:2,3 to see God’s true wisdom.) Therefore, Satan has to depend on mankind (Dust), to receive his food or the bread of man (Rom 8:6) from below, which is the foolishness of fleshy man. The believers Bread of Life is Christ from above, while Satan’s symbolical bread is really death that comes from the words of man’s prideful heart, see Jam 3:13-18.
Those that come to God for salvation, can rely on the Living Bread by staying in the written bread of life, which is Christ or the true manna from above John 6:48-51. In this, we symbolically eat the word of God to obtain wisdom and spiritual guidance. To get the true meaning of the metaphorical value of this symbol, we must understand that its in our inner spiritual man that we eat this bread from above.(The inner man and outer man must be spiritually separated. One heavenly Spirit is of God, the other carnal flesh is of the earth.)
I will close on Satan’s wisdom and give these scriptures on man’s foolishness which is the wisdom that Satan obtains from man, because he like mankind, does not know the mind of God, See Mark 13:32, Luke 18:22 and 1Cor 2:11.
Mark 7:14-23…And when he (Jesus) had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me everyone of you, and understand: There is nothing from without a man (referring to natural food) that entering into him can defile (or make unclean) him: But the things which come out of him (The heart of the inner man), those are they that defile the man. If any man have ear’s to hear let him hear. And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive that what so ever from without entereth into man, it cannot defile him; (not washing your hands and food cannot defile your soul and spirit.) Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? And he said, that which cometh out of the man, (Mans mouth Jam 3:5-10) that defileth the man, for from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness; All these evil things come from within and defile the man.
1Cor 1:25…Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger then men.
1Cor 2:14—But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned, (By God’s Spirit only. See 2Pet 3:16).
1Cor 3:19,20…For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain, (Foolish pride).
Mankind receives the salvation given by God, by his Living Word, whom is the bread of life, Christ the Lord. (Luke 4:4..
And Jesus answered him, saying It is written that man shall not live by bread alone (natural food), but by every word of God. When we come to Jesus Christ God’s Living Word, the bread of life, we can be rest assured, that we can and will receive the wisdom of God.
Col 2:2,3…That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding to the knowledge of the mystery of God and the Father, and Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
So the divine wisdom that is from above, is in fact Christ and the divine knowledge of him.
Jesus said in John 14:6 That he was the way the truth and the life and that no man can come to the Father but by him. This makes him the bread from above that gives eternal life.
Satan through the disobedience of mankind, after the fall from grace of mankind, eats the bread of the wisdom of fleshy man. (Or corruption of the dust, and or mankind’s fleshy carnal nature.)
Satan’s wisdom comes from the ungodliness and confusion of the carnal fleshy nature of mankind. So Satan uses mans sinful and disobedient carnal and foolish wisdom in man, to gain his strength and power. All his efforts are works of deceptions that can in-trap mankind and cause mankind to think, that he (Satan) has special power, but in all reality he only possesses what God has ordained and allowed. We must understand that Satan even now has no power over the true believer, and that power in it self, is only acquired by deception of the mind of mankind. Matt 16:23.
We can look at five very important scriptures that declares these very facts.
1.) Matt 28:18…..And Jesus came and spake unto them saying: all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. (This is not future but then and now!)
2.) John 12:31…..Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
3.) Rom 13:1…….Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God : the powers that be are ordained of God.
4.) Col 1:15-9, 2:9-10… Who is the image of the invisible God;, The firstborn of every creature : for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, weather they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers : all things were created by him , and for him.. and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is head of the body the church : who is the beginning , the firstborn from the dead ; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the father that in him should all fullness dwell ……For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, Which is the head of all principality and power.
5.) Heb 1:3,5,6…..Who being in the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person and upholding all things by the word of his power , when he had by himself purged our sins , sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high. For unto which of the angels said he at anytime, Thou art my son , this day have I begotten thee ? and again to him I will be a father , and he shall be to me a son ? and again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, and let all the angels of God worship him. (In this we can see that Christ is the true glory of the father, John 16:14.)
Satan uses the confusion of the fleshy mind of man to deceive man into transgressing the authority and the wisdom of God. Man is very intelligent and creative as is God but lacks the wisdom and love of God to balance his emotions and harness the evil nature within. Therefore mans fate is laced with confusions and redundant failure by and through the deceptive lies of Satan’s evil desires. Satan’s food is the foolish wisdom of man. Man’s food without God is the knowledge from Satan obtained by man’s foolishness that is given back to man through deceptions and lies by Satan the master deceiver. (Man and Satan feed on each other.) So what can we say of all these things concerning the wisdom of Satan, but only that his wisdom is merely dust or the wisdom of mankind, which is foolishness to God.
The answer to our dilemma is plain and simple, and in one word, UNITY with God’s Spirit and unity with each other Eph 4:2,3.
Jeremiah 10:6-8 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, 0 Lord :thou art great, and thy name is great in might. Who would not fear thee, 0 King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of VANITIES, (or the futility of frustration, in foolish pride unto the excess. See Rom 8:20 NIV TRANS.)
So what is the conclusion of the vanity of mankind, that is caused by Satan the master of deceptions?
.
The answer is very plain and simple!
Psalms 53:1-4. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God, Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no not one. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people (Children of the kingdom) as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
Here we can see the unrighteousness of men referred to as bread (Satan’s food), that devours the children of God through their vain iniquities. To find your way back to God you must remember who he is, fear him in honor and through respect, (Reverence).
The final scripture on the foolish pride of mankind is.. Psalms 111:10, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (or the fear of his Word and judgments): a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: His praise endureth for ever. (See Ecc 12:13,14.)
His glory and honor comes from praise unto and through God’s Living Word (John 16:13-15), and in this God receives his true pride and glory back to himself, which is due him from his true children and all of creation..
TRUE PRIDE ALONE, BELONGS TO GOD,
whom dwells eternally and rules all by himself!
So who’s glory are you exhibiting in your life, Satan’s, or are you giving it to God, who rightfully owns it!
