Pride

This is one of the natures of Satan that we wrestle with (Ephesians 6:12).

Believer in Christ:  You are NOT pride.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My name is Pride. I am a cheater.
  
I cheat you of your God-given destiny…
because you demand your own way.
  
I cheat you of contentment…
because you “deserve better than this.”
I cheat you of knowledge…
because you already know it all.
I cheat you of healing…
because you are too full of you to forgive.
I cheat you of holiness…
because you refuse to admit when you are wrong.
I cheat you of vision…
because you’d rather look in the mirror than out a window.
I cheat you of genuine friendship…
because nobody’s going to know the real you.
I cheat you of love…
because real romance demands sacrifice.
I cheat you of greatness in heaven…
because you refuse to wash another’s feet on earth.
I cheat you of God’s glory…
because I convinced you to seek your own.
My name is Pride. I am a cheater.
You like me because you think I’m always looking out for you.
Untrue.
I’m looking to make a fool of you.
God has so much for you, I admit, but don’t worry…
If you stick with me you’ll never know.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I command for pride to depart from me, my family and our home and pray that God will fill that empty space with His holy spirit and humble me to my knees so that I can be a servant after God’s own heart.  Amen.

INFORMATIONAL: What is "Pure Religion and Pure Secularism?"

In response to this article...

It sometimes helps to know the antonym of something in order to grasp the definition.  To be "purely secular" would be to be entirely opposite of "purely religious."

The following is the definition of "pure religion" according to the Christian Bible (the foundation of the Christian faith).

"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."  (James 1:27 KJV)

So, according to the Christian faith, the definition of pure secularism (the opposite of pure religion) would be something like this:  "Pure secularism and completely defiled before God and the Father is this, To never visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to become completely spotted from the world [to fully indulge in every possible sinful practice of the world - adultery, fornication, murder, theft, abuse, rebellion, etc...]."

According to the Christian faith, the only way to become right with God is to receive Jesus Christ and to become born again.  Reference The Book of John - Chapters 1 through 3.

I hope this helps.  I wish you ALL THE BEST!
