Let’s be honest: there are times where God tells us, or invites us, to do something and we would rather look the other way, pretend like we didn’t hear it, or just flat out ignore what God has so clearly spoken.
This spirit and attitude resides within each of us, and whenever we succumb to it we are giving way to the Stronghold of Pride. Pride is a dangerous spirit! The Scriptures teach that God hates pride (Pr. 8); He detests the proud (Pr. 16); pride leads to destruction (Pr. 16); and pride is what God the devil kicked out of Heaven (Ez. 26)!
And yet, so many Christians and followers of Jesus respond stubbornly with pride when it comes to their money, generosity, and tithing. This is a dangerous trap and one that will lead people further from Christ, rather than to Christ.
In this week’s message, Pastor Ricky Ortiz shares three things you need to remember if you want to avoid, or break free from, the Stronghold of Pride and walk in the freedom that God has called you to.
