- 0:39Speaker 1: of spiritual pride. Let me say that again, the dangers
- 0:44Speaker 1: of spiritual pride.
- 0:46Speaker 2: So let's be real. Pride isn't always loud.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Sometimes it's hidden behind religious activity, spiritual tie titles, in
- 0:56Speaker 1: a Holier than thou attitude. But God doesn't play with
- 1:00Speaker 1: pride and we shouldn't neither. You know what I'm saying.

- 2:18Speaker 1: to thank y'all for making us a part of your day,
- 2:21Speaker 1: a part of your spiritual discipline. On this podcast. We
- 2:25Speaker 1: believe that the ingrafted word is able to save your soul.
- 2:31Speaker 1: So we're gonna get that word and then we're gonna
- 2:33Speaker 1: take some time out to.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Ingraft it in.
- 2:35Speaker 1: We have to apply it, we have to live by it,
- 2:38Speaker 1: we have to renew our minds, we have to strive
- 2:41Speaker 1: to do this show. The path to life is narrow
- 2:45Speaker 1: and difficult, and few travel on it according to the word,
- 2:49Speaker 1: and the road to.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Destruction is broad.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Let's get off of that broad road, and we're here
- 2:54Speaker 1: to help you on that journey on that narrow road.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Are in tension is to get you through them pearly gates,
- 3:03Speaker 1: get you into that city where life is abundant, praising
- 3:12Speaker 1: and exalting the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I'm talking about Jesus. Yeah, amen, amen, So yes, yes,
- 3:24Speaker 1: the topic is spiritual pride. So let's kill the music
- 3:29Speaker 1: and let's govy for God and prayer. Father God, we
- 3:32Speaker 1: come before you humbly, and we also ask that you
- 3:36Speaker 1: strip away the pride that we don't see. Help us
- 3:39Speaker 1: to walk in humility of Christ, depending on you and
- 3:45Speaker 1: not ourselves in Jesus name, we pray, Amen and amen, hallelujah.
- 3:56Speaker 1: All right, all right, So so when I ask you
- 4:00Speaker 1: to grab your bibles, your highlighters, and your no pads
- 4:05Speaker 1: so you can dive deeper into these topics. Our main
- 4:09Speaker 1: scripture for today is Proverbs chapter sixteen, verse eighteen. You're
- 4:15Speaker 1: coming at you from the King James version Proverbs chapter sixteen,
- 4:19Speaker 1: verse eighteen. Pride goes before destruction in a haughty spirit,
- 4:25Speaker 1: before a fall. This isn't just a warning, it's a
- 4:30Speaker 1: spiritual law.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Pride leads to downfall.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Whether you're puffed up in your knowledge, status or even
- 4:39Speaker 1: spiritual discipline, Pride will discount you from God's grace. Let
- 4:46Speaker 1: me say that again, Pride will discount you from the
- 4:51Speaker 1: grace of God. Why because pride says I got this
- 4:56Speaker 1: in race. It's for those who say, God need you
- 5:01Speaker 1: a man. That's a passion we should always have God,
- 5:06Speaker 1: I need you, all right, Let's go to the next scripture.
- 5:12Speaker 1: James Chapter four, verse six. James Chapter four, verse six.
- 5:16Speaker 1: God resists to proud, but gives grace unto the humble.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Let me say that again.
- 5:24Speaker 1: God will resist the proud, but he will give grace
- 5:28Speaker 1: to the humble. If you're walking in pride, God isn't
- 5:33Speaker 1: just ignoring you. He is resisting you. Let me say
- 5:37Speaker 1: that again. If you are walking in pride, God isn't
- 5:41Speaker 1: just ignoring you. He's resisting you. That should shake us up.
- 5:49Speaker 1: But the humble they attract his favor, his help, and
- 5:56Speaker 1: his power if we remain humble before God. I don't
- 6:01Speaker 1: know about you, but I don't want God to resist
- 6:03Speaker 1: me at all. I don't want any of that. I
- 6:07Speaker 1: don't want no smoke.
- 6:08Speaker 2: You know. He is the king of king, you know
- 6:11Speaker 2: what I mean. But the humble will.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Attract favor, will attract his help, and will attract his power,
- 6:20Speaker 1: so we need to go humbly before his throng. Next scripture, Luke,
- 6:26Speaker 1: chapter eighteen, verse eleven and fourteen.
- 6:30Speaker 2: The Pharisee and the tax collector.
- 6:34Speaker 1: You just told this parable to show us that religious
- 6:39Speaker 1: pride blocks prayer.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Now check this out.
- 6:45Speaker 1: The Pharisee bragged about fasciing and timing, but it was
- 6:54Speaker 1: a humble tax collector who went home justified. But for
- 7:03Speaker 1: real though, we gotta be real before the throne of God.
- 7:09Speaker 1: We gotta express where we are. We gotta express what
- 7:13Speaker 1: we're dealing with, what we're going through. We can't be religious.
- 7:18Speaker 1: We can't make it until we can't fake it until
- 7:21Speaker 1: He make it in the kingdom. We gotta be humble,
- 7:25Speaker 1: not haughty. Now, the next scripture is First Christians, chapter ten,
- 7:36Speaker 1: verse twelve. Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take
- 7:43Speaker 1: heed lest we fall. Wherefore let him think that he
- 7:48Speaker 1: standeth take heed lest he falls. Spiritual pride tells us.
- 7:54Speaker 2: It says I.
- 7:55Speaker 1: Will never do that, But humility says, if not for
- 8:01Speaker 1: the grace, I could fall too.
- 8:05Speaker 2: That mindset keeps us dependent upon.
- 8:09Speaker 1: God and compassionate towards others, Like when.
- 8:16Speaker 2: We see people fall.
- 8:17Speaker 1: When we see people struggle in their sin, we can't
- 8:21Speaker 1: go over to them and say, oh, I'll never do that,
- 8:26Speaker 1: That'll never be me. No, we have to say, man,
- 8:32Speaker 1: I have compassion. I could fall too. This could this
- 8:39Speaker 1: could be my life, this could be my story. I'm
- 8:42Speaker 1: thinking about the celebrity pastors that have fallen lately, that.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Have been exposed.
- 8:48Speaker 1: I'm looking at thinking about people who fall to their
- 8:51Speaker 1: different vices, fall to temptation, people who are struggling in
- 8:57Speaker 1: his walk. We gotta remember this is a war, and
- 9:01Speaker 1: they got to understand that casualties in this war could
- 9:10Speaker 1: be final. I've heard it said that the Christian army
- 9:16Speaker 1: is the only army that kills the wounded. Right, once
- 9:20Speaker 1: you get wounded, they'll shoot you and not try to
- 9:23Speaker 1: nurture you, not try to help you. But let's not
- 9:27Speaker 1: be that. Let's not do that. Let's have compassion. Let's
- 9:30Speaker 1: not have pride towards those who are struggling, because if
- 9:35Speaker 1: it wasn't for God's grace, that could be us. Galatians
- 9:40Speaker 1: chapter six, verse three. Galatians six, verse three. For if
- 9:44Speaker 1: a man think himself to be something when he is nothing,
- 9:49Speaker 1: he deceiveth himself let's say it again. For if a
- 9:55Speaker 1: man thinketh himself to be nothing, when I mean a
- 10:01Speaker 1: ready round if for if a man thinketh himself to
- 10:05Speaker 1: be something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. Pride
- 10:11Speaker 1: lies to us. It makes us forget our weaknesses and
- 10:18Speaker 1: inflate our strengths, and makes us forget how weak we are,
- 10:27Speaker 1: and even the eras where we're strong, and it exaggerated.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Now we need to remember everything we have, every gift,
- 10:37Speaker 1: every insight, every platform comes from God.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Amen.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Everything we have belongs to him, comes from the Father. Now,
- 10:51Speaker 1: I have a spiritual pride checklist. You know, we need
- 10:55Speaker 1: to be checking every day. We need to be checking
- 10:58Speaker 1: under the hood, right, We need to be checking our
- 11:02Speaker 1: hearts and checking ourselves. Now, ask yourself, do I think
- 11:07Speaker 1: I'm more anointed than others? That's one of the questions
- 11:13Speaker 1: that we need to ask ourselves to see whether or
- 11:19Speaker 1: not we are dealing this spiritual pride. And it's okay
- 11:24Speaker 1: to be honest. It's okay up front. And I'm actually
- 11:32Speaker 1: posting these in the Life.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Chat as we speak.
- 11:39Speaker 1: I was supposed to post something the other day and
- 11:42Speaker 1: I just remembered I forgot, So I'm gonna take time
- 11:46Speaker 1: out and post it while we are right here live,
- 11:51Speaker 1: And it says, do I judge people who don't know
- 11:55Speaker 1: as much scripture as I do? Do I judge people
- 12:00Speaker 1: who don't know as much scripture as I think I do?
- 12:07Speaker 2: Amen? So the next one is do I serve for
- 12:18Speaker 2: applause instead of love? Do I serve.
- 12:24Speaker 1: To get applause to get attention instead of loving out
- 12:31Speaker 1: of a pure heart, instead of loving my brothers and sisters,
- 12:39Speaker 1: instead of loving God? Or do I want recognition? Do
- 12:44Speaker 1: I think my denomination or church is the only way? Now?
- 12:52Speaker 2: This is a big one, and.
- 12:54Speaker 1: I actually have a quick testimony behind that. I've been
- 12:59Speaker 1: involved in the church. The first church that I joined
- 13:04Speaker 1: was a church like that. They felt that everyone else
- 13:06Speaker 1: was preaching the wrong message. They felt all the other
- 13:10Speaker 1: churches were going to hell and they were the only
- 13:13Speaker 1: ones who had the truth. They were the only ones
- 13:16Speaker 1: who had had it right, had the right path, and
- 13:24Speaker 1: come to find out, they're not. And not a lot
- 13:29Speaker 1: of occults do that. A lot of occults say that,
- 13:32Speaker 1: So we're the only ones that everyone else is wrong.
- 13:36Speaker 1: So that's a really really red flag right there. If
- 13:40Speaker 1: you're involved in a ministry that tells you that we're
- 13:44Speaker 1: the only ones right. Everybody else is wrong. That should
- 13:46Speaker 1: be a morning sign to run and man because as
- 13:51Speaker 1: long as we have the word in walking down that
- 13:57Speaker 1: narrow path, we should have fellowship with one another.
- 14:00Speaker 2: I don't care what denomination or church, what color with race.
- 14:05Speaker 1: There should be one body of Christ. Amen now and
- 14:13Speaker 1: looking to how to fight spiritual pride, and then we'll
- 14:16Speaker 1: go into and music break how to fight spiritual pride.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Stay in the word. Let it examine you before you
- 14:28Speaker 1: use it on others. Right, we have to ungraph it.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Then graphed word is able to save our souls.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Stay in the word, examine.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Ourselves before we try to use it and apply it
- 14:40Speaker 1: to other people. Serve in secret. Let God get the glory,
- 14:46Speaker 1: not your Instagram.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Amen.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Let God get the glory from what you do and
- 14:52Speaker 1: how you serve. And don't shout it out on the rooftop.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Celebrate others. Pride compete, Love compliments, Amen, Pride competes the
- 15:09Speaker 1: love will always compliment. Celebrate others when they get their
- 15:14Speaker 1: breakthrough and they get their blessing and you know, maybe
- 15:18Speaker 1: somebody else is rising on the charts or something like that.
- 15:24Speaker 1: And stay teachable. Pride says I know, Humility says I'm
- 15:29Speaker 1: still learning. A prideful person is a person who is unteachable.
- 15:38Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. In today's age where
- 15:42Speaker 1: we're living in, we cannot afford to be prideful.
- 15:45Speaker 2: We cannot afford to be arrogant.
- 15:48Speaker 1: We have to stay teachable and allow God and God's
- 15:55Speaker 1: people to pour into us. Say man, all right, well,
- 16:02Speaker 1: time for the music break. Got in here with brunch
- 16:06Speaker 1: right here lying on the his hot radio podcast.

- 24:24Speaker 1: You can look us up. We've been on the news.
- 24:27Speaker 1: We've made an impact in the community. We were open
- 24:30Speaker 1: for about seven years and then we had to shut
- 24:32Speaker 1: down the doors for multiple reasons. One of the main
- 24:36Speaker 1: reasons was financial. But we believe here that God is
- 24:42Speaker 1: now through with us yet. So if you do want
- 24:46Speaker 1: to sell into us, it is a tax deductible.
- 24:51Speaker 2: Donation. Hey man, now I'm gonna get back to our
- 25:01Speaker 2: topic real quick.
- 25:04Speaker 1: And there's a couple of things that I do want
- 25:06Speaker 1: to say.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Let's leave our pride at the altar once again. Let's
- 25:14Speaker 2: leave our pride at the altar.
- 25:20Speaker 1: We must increase, I mean, excuse me, he must John
- 25:25Speaker 1: three point thirty, he must increase.
- 25:28Speaker 2: But we must decrease.
- 25:29Speaker 1: We must depend on Him more and more each day.
- 25:32Speaker 1: Don't let spiritual pride rob you of God's presence. This
- 25:36Speaker 1: is serious. We need the presence more than anything else.
- 25:42Speaker 1: We need to stay humble, stay teachable, and stay in
- 25:46Speaker 1: the kingdom. Don't let this disqualify you. Amen, and I
- 25:53Speaker 1: have some discussion questions that I'm gonna also post in
- 25:58Speaker 1: the Life Chat as I answered them myself right now.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Have I ever acted out of spiritual pride without realizing it?
- 26:09Speaker 2: Have I ever acted.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Had a spiritual pride without even realizing it? Yes, yes
- 26:21Speaker 1: I have, especially when I had the club up and running,
- 26:28Speaker 1: I was in the building, I saw some success. I
- 26:32Speaker 1: thought I couldn't fall, thought I couldn't falter. Yes, sad
- 26:36Speaker 1: to say, I have said, what does true humility look
- 26:40Speaker 1: like in leadership? What does true humility look like in leadership?
- 26:47Speaker 1: So we're following someone, if we're going to attach ourself
- 26:51Speaker 1: to someone, we need to know what does it look
- 26:55Speaker 1: like when a person is humble and they're depending on God.
- 27:03Speaker 1: I would say that they're transparent, They're honest about what
- 27:07Speaker 1: they struggle with, They're honest about where they're at.
- 27:12Speaker 2: They will try.
- 27:12Speaker 1: To reconcile the situation before it gets out in hand.
- 27:17Speaker 2: Things are that nature is what I would.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Say, And how can I stay grounded? Even when I
- 27:24Speaker 1: grow in influence and knowledge?
- 27:27Speaker 2: How can I stay grounded? And we know the answer
- 27:31Speaker 2: to that.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Being grafted word is able to save our souls. Amen, Amen,
- 27:38Speaker 1: stay in that word. And I humbly want to say
- 27:42Speaker 1: this and this is He's going to be real personal,
- 27:47Speaker 1: but it's kind of coming out in the open. Anyone
- 27:52Speaker 1: who knows my testimony, they would know that my first
- 27:56Speaker 1: marriage was.
- 27:57Speaker 2: A very very difficult thing for me when I was
- 28:07Speaker 2: any church, as I said earlier, church that was.
- 28:11Speaker 1: Teaching that they were the only ones right, everyone else
- 28:13Speaker 1: was wrong kind of a church and they would control
- 28:18Speaker 1: their people. And so I was highly highly influenced and
- 28:23Speaker 1: manipulated into marrying my first wife. And that marriage didn't
- 28:28Speaker 1: really last, you know, to other regions. I'll go into that.
- 28:33Speaker 1: It's a different note. But I have three beautiful boys
- 28:37Speaker 1: out of that marriage, and so since the divorce, things
- 28:43Speaker 1: have been difficult as far as my relationship with them.
- 28:50Speaker 1: My boys are older, they're adults now. Except for when
- 28:53Speaker 1: to do that one minor and pray for us, you know,
- 28:59Speaker 1: pray that reconciliation can happen.
- 29:02Speaker 2: I believe it will.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Say that we can get things right concerning that situation.
- 29:13Speaker 2: But also.
- 29:15Speaker 1: They're going on social media. They're posting things against me,
- 29:19Speaker 1: and I'll just want to let you all know where
- 29:21Speaker 1: it's coming from. I'm being humble and transparent.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Yes, things are.
- 29:25Speaker 1: Difficult in my relationship with my boys, but you'll see them.
- 29:28Speaker 2: They're going on on my Google are his High Nation.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Inc. Page on Google, and they're posting things on that,
- 29:39Speaker 1: and so what I would encourage everyone to do that
- 29:47Speaker 1: because that is, you know, affecting our ministry in our page.
- 29:52Speaker 1: I don't like everyone to go to our website his
- 29:55Speaker 1: high Nation dot com and leave some reviews. Now you
- 30:00Speaker 1: can be honest. Hopefully they'll be positive. We're looking for
- 30:03Speaker 1: five star. But we're just trying to balance and counteract
- 30:07Speaker 1: this because we believe that this podcast and what we're
- 30:12Speaker 1: doing will reach a lot of people for the Kingdom.
- 30:16Speaker 1: And I know God is going to work or my
- 30:19Speaker 1: family going to work on their hearts. But they're just
- 30:21Speaker 1: spamming things or just saying things, and they're doing it
- 30:24Speaker 1: out of her. To understand where it's coming from, I
- 30:26Speaker 1: haven't been the best father. But I'm praying. I pray
- 30:30Speaker 1: for them, and I said, you'll pray for them too.
- 30:35Speaker 2: Lip them up.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Their name is Trey, Tevin and Travis.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Lift them up in your prayers. But if you see.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Them online and they're giving us bad reviews or whatever,
- 30:46Speaker 1: report them. They're spamming our stuff, and please try to
- 30:51Speaker 1: leave us a good review to kind of counteract that.
- 30:53Speaker 1: I would appreciate that, Amen, And ain't man with that.
- 31:00Speaker 2: It's not about us. It's all about the crisis in us.
- 31:04Speaker 2: God bless see y'all on the next podcast.
- 31:09Speaker 4: H
