Beware of the #1 Sin… Pride!

This year we celebrated Yom Kippur on September 24-25. It is known as The Day of Atonement, and is considered the holiest day of the year. It is a day to fast and pray, repent of our sins and ask forgiveness from God and our brethren. I felt God’s Spirit prompt me to fast and pray as well. In my prayer time I heard the Spirit say, “I want you to repent of pride for yourself and for the Church.”

Proverbs 6:16-19 (AMP) says, “Six things the Lord hates; seven are a repulsive abomination unto him: 1) A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others], 2) a lying tongue, 3) hands that shed innocent blood, 4) a heart that creates wicked plans and schemes, 5) feet that run swiftly to evil, 6) a false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths], and 7) one who spreads discord (rumors) among the brothers.”

The #1 Thing on God’s Hate List is Pride!

21 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTIONS…

When I awoke this morning the Spirit asked, “How many days until the elections?” I quickly counted up the days and found it was 21 days! I immediately knew I needed to fast and pray. Like Daniel prayed and fasted 21 days and God answered his prayer even though the answer was delayed, we too need to be fervent in prayer about these upcoming elections. The Bible says, the prayer of a righteous man avails much (James 5:16). The Bible also says, “If two of you agree concerning anything in my name, that it shall be done! (Matthew 18:19)”
