Pride: The Fall of Self-Exaltation 0:02 We wanna honor God because He sees everything.0:10 You were born with a plan and a purpose. He's the God of all things possible. He's the God of all0:22 miracles.0:52 Welcome to Grace Grace with Naina Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphreys.0:56 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to the broadcast today. Wow. Today we were just saying that this whole subject on sins, the deadly sins, you know, we could talk for days on this, and1:08 and it's kind of terrifying, but it's a heavenly reminder of, you know, sin a lot of times doesn't just come crashing down on you like some loud disaster. A lot of times it1:20 just sneaks right in, like, and before you know it, it grabs a hold of you, and then you are reeling, and you are in a place where you can't hear from God, and it's dark. And so we're going to1:32 go over some of these things today, and, you know, we hope that, in a good way, that if any of this pierces you, that you can come to a place of repentance because God1:43 forgives. As far as the east is from the west, when we find out, be sure your sins will find you out. That's only the 1st step. We have to come and repent of those and ask the Lord1:55 to forgive us and to deliver us and help us to get away from these sins.1:59 We need to always like, even if you're, you know, a a super Christian, you need to know that sin is crouching at the door according to the Bible. So2:11 don't think that because you read the Bible every day and pray, that certainly all helps. But if you begin to allow sin in your life, it is a2:23 slippery slope. There's a song called there's it's a slow fade, and it's true. It is a slow fade.2:30 It is it is very true. And I some of you know, 1 of the biggest ones that I think of is pride. Pride. And, you know, how many of us just think that we know more than God, like, we can do it on our own. We2:42 don't need any help, and pride comes before a fall. Haughtiness before destruction. Destruction, a fall. And you know, when you think over and over again, the2:54 devil himself got kicked out of heaven because of pride, because he was reaching for the throne. He think about this, he had everything. He lived in heaven. He3:06 was supposedly beautiful, and instruments, and and all of these things that are mentioned about him, and yet he wanted to be worshiped. He wanted to be lord over3:18 God. And then he got kicked out of heaven at lightning speed. God's not messing around. And I do love that scripture. I do too, because it's like it just shows you, like, get out. Because because we3:30 don't he did not mess around, and we don't have to mess around with him either. And so pride. So wherever you think that you're puffed up in any way or you think whatever success you have is your3:42 own doing and you're not giving God the glory for the good things that He's given you in your life, you know, we can just get in such a place of pride where we're just3:54 going it on our own and thinking, you know, we only invite Jesus into the party when we have a bad day or where things aren't going our way, and the rest of the time we're just like, oh, it's all good, so I don't need4:04 God.4:05 It's just sad thing. About it, like, 2nd Timothy three:two-four, if you if you have your Bible, which if you're gonna watch the show, I would encourage you get a Bible. If you need a Bible, we'll send you a4:17 Bible. I mean Right. We're serious. Yes. We're serious about the Bible. So 2nd Timothy 3 2 through 4, it describes the characteristics of people in the last4:29 days as lovers themselves. This is all pride. Lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,4:41 lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. Now think about that. Lord, have mercy. Right?4:47 We are standing in that day.4:49 We are. I do believe like, just the the whole selfie thing. I'm sorry. I'm old school. You know, we grew up in the eighties. I mean, it's like we're old school, you5:00 know. Our hair5:01 wouldn't have fit in a selfie. No, our hair wouldn't. It would have. You're not wrong.5:07 You're not wrong. So think about that. Like, just a selfie, it's like people, like, everywhere you go, they're just taking pictures, posting it, and, you know, that's5:18 called the pride of life. And, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with social media, but I'm saying it needs to be in balance and and not just like a competition or, like, selfish5:30 ambition. That'll make you miserable. There's a study that I recently heard about that it they talked about when a child gets a cell phone within5:42 seconds, they're depressed. They start reeling from it's I think it comes from some of the deadly sins, like envy. Like, they see these people, they look like5:54 they're having more fun, and they they have fear of missing out. You know? That's true. Yeah.6:00 It is. Because that's what the devil that's that's, you know, we have social media that that we use for our ministry, and people can do good things with social media. But the devil is the6:12 Lord. He's the prince of the airwaves. And so think of that, like how much bad, how harmful a lot of that is in what our kids are seeing in the messages that are being6:24 sent their way, and they're always feeling like they don't measure up, and and they lose their confidence, and all of that. And that's not of the Lord.6:30 That's so sad, isn't it? Yeah.6:33 And, you know, we think you know, the opposite of pride is humility. And when we humble ourselves before the Lord in repentance and just cry out to Him and say, Create in me a6:44 clean and contrite heart, oh Lord, because I just never want to grieve the Holy Spirit. I always want to be in that place with Him where I can hear Him. And, you know, it's like, I was just telling my kids the other6:56 day, that if I I try to get up super early and have my time with the Lord. And if I don't for some reason, if there's something that's hurried or thrown in the mix or something,7:08 and I don't have that same time with the Lord, my day does not go as well. I feel scattered and more hurried and angsty and all of that. And so, you know, back up and start your7:20 day with the Lord and humble yourself before Him and ask Him to order your steps for the day and and just take any pride or any any take my to do list for the day and throw it7:32 in the trash because I want your to do list. You show me where I need to go, be, do, what to do today and all of that because he is so much better at that than we ever could be because7:44 his plan for us is perfect. You know, and another 1, Michelle, is greed. Greed. That's huge these days. If you even think of what's happening in our government, in our world right now, the7:56 greed The cheating. And and all of that. And and that needs to be replaced with generosity. Right? I mean, so think about what are some of the ways?8:07 Well, 1 of the best ways is to give. Yes. You can you can I I feel like the Lord put that in the plan so that we could defeat greed? Yes. Because remember, the8:19 Bible says that you're an overcomer. So you're gonna overcome pride, you're gonna overcome greed, and you're gonna overcome all these other sins that we're gonna talk about whenever we come back.8:31 But I'm telling you that the Lord himself is he he made you an overcomer.8:37 Yes.8:38 So when we're telling you about these things, we're just saying be warned, be on guard, because God himself is gonna make you live in victory.

And it's it's so terrifying, but, you know, like you were saying, there is a way out. God always provides a way out10:00 for us, and he does not condemn us. He gently convicts so that we can fix the things that are not of him and pluck them out. And that's what I would say, pluck them out at the root10:12 and set me down on the path you have for me. Do not let me step 1 toe to the left or to the right. And when we can ask for that and ask the Lord to just quicken our hearts.10:24 So, you know, I always think, you know, God doesn't let me get by with anything. I10:28 always That's how you know you're saved. You can't get away with anything. It's true.10:33 It is true. Like, even if it's raining and and I have high heels on and I'm running in for a few groceries. I have to go bring my shopping cart back. I just have10:44 to, and I don't know why because they're all over the parking lot. But that's a thing. There's little things, and I always think if you're faithful in the small stuff, if you Yeah, that's biblical. If you're10:56 faithful in the small things, that's how you practice hearing from the Lord and practice the presence of the Lord. Because if you're it's like, Okay, I'll go bring it back. I know, I know, I know.11:08 And then, you know, if we start to dismiss all the things, maybe you're not to be in anger, you're not to, maybe you say you get angry and you curse11:21 or things like that, You know, when you know you're not supposed to do that, but then the more you do it, the The easier it is.11:29 And and you're not sharing it. You need to get to the root of the anger Yes. Number 1, because why are you walking around angry? The Bible says don't even hang out with an angry man Exactly. Because you will learn his11:41 ways. It's very destructive to walk around in wrath. It it is very destructive. It hurts relationships, as you know. It's also compared to being, like, undisciplined.11:53 It's like you're like a broken down city. Like, if it where, you know, cities in biblical cities, if they didn't have a wall around them, pretty much anybody could12:05 invade. Right? And that's what that leads to. Wrath leads to, just the enemy being able to come in and invade your house, invade your12:16 life, and you don't want any part of it. And the Bible says that the anchor of man does not does not produce the righteousness12:24 of God.12:24 So if you're going to church every week, and you're just like this all the time with your spouse, or with your family, or whoever you're around, people at work, you shouldn't do this, you shouldn't do12:36 that. You know what? Go let God take care of that. Now you can gently remind people, but your anger is not gonna produce Right. God's righteousness. It just doesn't work.12:47 And and you know what? When you think about that, like, you know. Maybe before the words are even coming out of your mouth, you you know. Because I'll know I'll hear I'll hear him say, don't say it.12:58 Don't do it. And And that's when you know.13:01 And and so, you know, what can you do?13:03 Hold my bobby pins. We're about to go in.13:05 We're going in. But you know what? What can you do instead? If it how is that working for you, 1st of all? Is your anger and you when you get to be kind of abusive in your own household? I grew up with that. I grew up13:14 with that. There was never a kind of scary. I I I just would hear it all starting up and and and and to this day,13:26 sometimes like a loud noise or a door slam just kind of knee jerks me back into that. You know, is that working for you? Is that getting you the result with your child or your spouse? Is that or you're just13:38 you're you're bringing on all kinds of animosity and and hatred, and you're spewing all these things, and you're setting the worst example for your family and for your children13:50 that are gonna grow up doing very much the same. Instead, seek the Lord and say, Help me with this. Pull this out of me. Show me how to be peaceable in my own household. And He will,14:02 because that's what He promises, that He will give you perfect peace, His perfect peace. Recognize these things in yourself and ask Him. You know, another 1, Michelle,14:14 is envy. Envy of14:17 your That's what all these the social media produces14:21 Yeah.14:21 Is envy. You want something that somebody else has, and what good is that? When when God you should be content in what God has given you.14:31 And not only that, but super happy for the people who have these good things. You know, cheer 1 another on and be happy for your friends and for people to have other things. It's like it's like I I always get so14:43 excited when people have the answer or the victory or are are getting to do cool things. It's like that's the attitude that we should have.14:51 You know? Because God is no respecter of persons.14:54 And and ask for blessings upon your friends and your family and ask for God to to just just rain down all that they need and be happy for them, and and that's how we should be. And but, you know, the attitude of15:06 that or the the antithesis of that is is is being grateful. When you have an attitude of gratitude and you're thankful every day for everything that you have15:18 and your health and your family and all the things, you know, a warm bed, food on the table, and all the things, and it's like even just a a bright sunny day, I'll be thankful for that. And then when you you're15:30 replacing, you're making it almost impossible for the devil to cause you to complain and to become envious over something someone else has. Amen. Amen. Well,Wrath, Envy, and Lust: Poisons of the Heart 15:40 we can't forget lust. Yeah. That's a terrible 1. Yep. You know, and and, you know, the the thing with lust is it it creeps up on you like David. David was15:52 a man after God's own heart and yet has 1 of the the most outrageous sins of lust16:02 A Sheba.16:02 Of anyone. I mean, he wasn't he wasn't number 1, He wasn't doing his job. He was not out to battle with everybody else. He was just hanging out, and he was I just hang.16:14 That he was having some hang time at the palace, And he looked out and he saw Bathsheba, and boom, the lust came in. And Bathsheba was married to 1 of his faithful16:25 soldiers, Uriah. And so he slept with Bathsheba, and then she became pregnant. Uriah16:37 David ordered Uriah to the front lines, and that his protection back. Yeah. So think about that. Like it's almost like you put a hit on him. You know? So16:49 lust took David. He wasn't even he was clueless. The prophet had to come to David and say there was a man and he had a lamb and17:01 this wealthy man took his only lamb and he's like, get him. You know, get him. It's it's like It17:08 was him.17:09 Times 4 get him. But you know what? The prophet said, it's you David. And he was so sorry, but he did get the times 4. Yeah. He got what he17:20 judged. Yeah. So be careful of that 1 too. Yeah. Because Anyway, we're about to, we have 5 seconds till the next week.17:27 We'll be right back. Stay right there.

We're talking about deadly sins, and, you know, 1 of them is is sloth. You know, when you're lazy, when18:21 you're not working, when you just are you're not getting anything done. And I mean That's18:27 not how God created us.18:29 It's not. He wants us to be diligent and live in excellence. And, you know, start with your household. What does your house look like? Is your sink full of dishes? Does it do18:40 things need to be washed and and and fixed and repaired? You know, pull your weeds and mow your lawn and, you know, start there because God wants you to be a good steward over what he18:52 gives you. He's not going to give you any more when you don't take care of what you already have. And if you're not grateful for it. But if you're just slothful, you know, if you're just sloughing off at the job, if19:04 you're on the phone or texting or social meeting it up on on the job and and, you know, not doing your whole job and thinking you're getting by with that, God's not19:16 gonna let you slide on those things. You are not gonna get promoted. No one's going to recognize you. He's not going to cause you to be at the right place at the right time. Nothing good will come of that. And, you know,19:27 also, it's just like when you're living in chaos, when you're living in, when there's stuff all around and your atmosphere isn't clean or picked up or, you know, it's it's just if you have that19:39 laziness, it's gonna affect everything.19:41 It affects your your your family too. Yeah. It does. If you are a mom or a dad and your and your household is chaos, what good can come from that? You know, that's that's19:53 disorder, and God is very much a God of order. So when you think about that, have mercy. Right? Now think about sloth. There's there's scriptures that I used20:05 to, like, when I was younger and I was reading the Bible, and I was sleepier than I am. Now I'm not as sleepy as I was when I I was probably still growing or something. You know? But I would think a little sleep, a20:17 little slumber, a little folding of the hand of the hands and poverty will come on you like a bandit. That's sloth. And then it's come on you like a bandit. I mean think about that. And then it and then,20:29 I coached speech for my kids' Christian school, and it was, they would do scripture scripture memory verses. And it was, go to the ant, you sluggard. I mean, it's the20:41 way this little boy said it. He was darling, and he he would always, you know I would say practice again, buddy. And it would be go to the ant, you sluggard. And and you think about an ant, they don't20:53 have any supervisor, and this is what Proverbs says. And that's how we need to we need to be. We don't need to live in sloth. And it and it also says that when we're slothful, we'll21:04 say we'll say crazy things of why we're not gonna do something. Like, we make excuses. Like, there's a lion in the street. That's actually in the bible. Of course, we don't have any lions in the street.21:16 But, you know, you'll make up something crazy like that. You know, that that some outrageous excuse.21:23 The dog ate your homework.21:24 The dog ate your homework.21:25 That's it. You didn't21:26 do your yeah. You're not you're not stepping up. There God is calling us to new levels. Yeah. I really believe that, and slothfulness has no business where21:38 we are.21:38 It's the truth. You know, you you think about it, you know, Jesus doesn't need your resume. He does he's not always saying, let me see your curriculum vitae and check out and see if you have the the the qualifications21:50 for this next job. No. He already knows. He put every single thing in you that you already need for what He has planned and purposed for you. So you can either,22:02 like, skip over levels and mantles because you are doing a great job and God can cause you to be at the right place at the right time. You can be, you know,22:14 set up for a promotion that you didn't even see coming. But if you are slothful, if you are lazy, why would anybody promote you? And God's surely not going to make things22:25 work on your behalf if you're acting that way. You know, I went to this thing called the sloth experience. Like, I love sloths. They're so cute, I think. And I went to the sloth experience where I got to go feed22:37 them and hang out with these sloths. And honestly, they are so slow. Like, they walk They are. They're so slow. And so, you know, seeing this as a scripture sloth,22:50 it gives you a very good visual22:52 of how22:53 slow moving, not in any hurry to get anything done. And you know, even slothful means like are you respectful of others' time? Yeah. You know, like, are you just slow? You don't care who's23:05 waiting on you. You don't care, you know, that you have an appointment. Or, you know, like that's, that I always think is very disrespectful. My grandma used to tell me, If you're not early, you're late. And, you23:16 know, to be prompt and to be prepared, be prepared for what you're about to do, and don't just show up and you don't know what's going on and all of that. You know, God23:28 is calling us to a higher standard, and and and did you know that these things were actually sins?23:35 They are. They are sins, along with gluttony, which, you know, the whole world, we've we've bulged out. So we need to do everything in moderation, of23:47 course. And and so, you know, we struggle. The struggle is real, but God made us overcomers. That's right. That goes with drinking. It goes with whatever. Yeah. With23:59 with overindulgence of any kind, we we wanna stay steer clear of anything like that. So I believe that God wants us to remember that,24:11 yes, these are all things that can cause destruction in our life, but we are overcomers by the blood of the lamb, the word of our testimony, and we love not our life24:23 even unto death. That's what he says. Amen. Amen. So we need to pray that these sins, if we have let them in the door in any way, they're24:35 cast out from now forevermore because of Jesus. That's right. He's making us overcomers. Yes. So Lord right now we just pray in the name of Jesus that24:46 you Lord are going to do a great work. That you're going to deliver people that are listening. Deliver all of us from anything that resembles any of these24:58 deadly sins. We ask you that you would make it very clear to us that you we would hear the Holy Spirit saying change this, correct this. And Lord you're you're a gentle shepherd. And25:10 so I thank you for that Lord and I pray that people would be set free all over the world that are listening. In Jesus name, amen.25:19 Amen. Because even Jesus told us in the Lord's prayer that we're delivered from all evil. And so you can claim that, and I promise God will show up and help you. He always gives us a25:30 way out. So thank you so much for watching our broadcast today. We love you guys, and we're so grateful for our partners and our viewers. We love hearing from you guys. You know, head on over to social media. We haveOvercoming Sins: Prayer and Victory 25:41 daily devotions there for you. We wanna hear from you. We wanna hear your prayer requests, your praise reports. What is God doing for you? And so don't forget that stay tuned because we have a wonderful message waiting25:53 for you from Darrell Youngblood. We love you guys. God bless25:57 you. Why do atheists care so much about Christians anyway? Well, they'll tell you this. Religion is bad. It's the cause of most wars. But again, evidence shows differently. It26:09 shows that out of 1763 documented wars, only 123 were due to religion. That's between 6 and 7 percent. When you take out Islam, that only leaves 326:21 percent of all wars that could be attributed to religion. Does science disprove God? Is there26:31 a war between science and faith?26:33 We don't need God to create a universe. There's no evidence for God, and it's irrational.26:37 Is there no evidence for God?26:39 Am I delusional for my beliefs? It is delusional and stupid. Am I brainwashed? Do I ignore reason? Logic. Critical thinking. Science.27:03 RDOF uses logic and reasoning.27:05 RDOF has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.27:10 If you wanna be equipped to defend against the biggest objections of the existence of God, r d o f is the place for you.27:20 Has science really ruled out God? Is faith at war with science? If you wanna be equipped to respond to these claims and more, check out r d o f dot org.27:38 The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming.27:41 Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable.27:45 We believe in rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science, and we believe in the existence of God.27:52 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.27:57 I never believed in God. I just think it was craziness. RDOF confirmed my faith. RDOF confirmed my full belief, full faith in the Lord, man. The28:09 appearance of design in the the universe is undeniable.28:15 The lights, the crowd, the videos.28:21 To book a presentation or watch our free videos, go to r d o f dot org or find us on Facebook at RDOF events.In this video 0:00 Pride: The Fall of Self-Exaltation15:34 Wrath, Envy, and Lust: Poisons of the Heart18:09 Sloth and Gluttony: Rejecting Laziness25:38 Overcoming Sins: Prayer and Victory
