VICTORY OVER PRIDE & FALL

VICTORY OVER PRIDE & FALL
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PRAYER

This prayer is for those who want to overcome the grevious sin called pride. Pride manifests itself in our lives through selfishness, self-pity, self-love and the quest for recognition, position, power and all forms of self-centredness. Pride is also sometimes (not always) found in more subtle forms in people who need to feel significant, who give misguided importance to feelings of self-worth and self-image. Pride reaches its extreme when people start seeing themselves as gods and start acting that way. Pride is putting yourself on the throne. Pride thinks it is better than others and looks down on the values and abilities of others.

When someone is proud, he seeks to be acknowledged at all times. The proud person shows different emotions when not acknowledged; anger, criticism about the lives of others, feelings of unfair treatment and this gives way to bitterness, jealousy and self-pity, that causes actions that will hurt people, and all kinds of negative behaviour.

Pride caused the fall of Satan? He wanted to be like God. Isaiah 14:12-15. Deep down most of us want something similar. We want to be on top, important, the best – and everybody must know it. But Pride is one of the deadliest sins that God detests the most. That is why we need to cry to God to deliver us from pride by the power of the Holy Ghost because we cannot do it on our own. Pray this prayer with all your heart and the Lord will deliver you, in the name of Jesus
