“We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:5 NLT
We each have proud thoughts, these thoughts must tow the line to the head, which is Christ. Pride so easily comes in when we start to succeed in an endeavour. A strut enters our swagger. However, more importantly, dirt enters our spirit, we pollute our fountain.
To maintain purity in our fountain we must deal with proud thoughts and attitudes. Pulling down strongholds, is pulling down high thoughts about ourselves and low thoughts about others. Pride hurts others, it does this as self climbs on the backs of others.
Other people are made in the image of God and need protecting. Dealing with pride in ourselves protects them. Seeking God for others and treating them as He would treat them is important. Amen!
