Deny The I Right In The Middle Of Pride And Sin

 

A Story About A Frog And Two Geese Flying Over A Canyon

Teaching Us To Deny The I Right In The Middle Of Pride And Sin

     Read the following story about a frog and two geese flying over a canyon to learn how according to Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction; and an haughty spirit before a fall. One day a frog wanted to travel to the other side of a canyon. The frog told two geese could you fly me to the other side of the canyon? The frog thought of a plan that he explained to the two geese. The frog told the two geese to hold onto the ends of a stick with their beaks while the frog held on to the middle of the stick with his mouth while they all flew over the canyon.

     When the frog and the two geese started flying over the canyon, a farmer looked up and said Wow that is the most amazing thing I ever saw in my life. Whose idea was that? And the frog yelled mine while the frog fell into the canyon. Remember pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall.  The frog's proud haughty spirit yelling mine was followed by a fall. Don't be like the proud frog; Instead obey James 4:10 and humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up. Don't be proud and selfish; Instead be concerned about the needs of others while you obey Philippians 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Deny The I Right In The Middle Of Pride And Sin

The #1 Thing God Hates Is A Proud Look

Instead Of Saying I'll Do This; Say Lord Willing I'll Do This

     There are seven things listed above at Proverbs 6:16-19 that God hates. But note that the #1 thing on the list that God hates is a proud look. When you look at the words pride and sin, you find that the letter I is right in the middle of pride and sin. Whenever anyone is guilty of pride or sin, it's all about I and not about Jesus. Instead of lifting up yourself saying I I I, lift up Jesus. Obey 1 Corinthians 1:31 that says That according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 

     Remember we can only live together in peace if we avoid pride and exalt the name of Jesus. Jesus said at John 12:32 And I, if I (Jesus) be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. Get saved today and exalt our Lord Jesus avoiding the destruction that follows pride and selfishness. Right now repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

     Instead of saying I'll do this; Say Lord willing I'll do this. James 4:13 tells us Go to now, ye that say To day or to morrow we will go into such a city and continue there a year and buy and sell and get gain. Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow; For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings; all such rejoicing is evil.

Note The Reason Below That Sodomite Homosexuals And Lesbians

Celebrate Pride Week And Pride Month

     First let me state that I do not hate sodomite homosexuals and lesbians. But it's the sin of sodomy that I cry out against. Sodomites can get saved and Jesus will forgive the sin of sodomy. But sodomy is a sin that leads to death and needs to be avoided. God wants men to marry women (not men to marry men or women to marry women). 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 says Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? (Note that this is talking about inheritance rewards in the kingdom and not about salvation) Be not deceived neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. (Now note the next verse that states that sodomites can get saved) And such were some of you; but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but yea re justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 

     Now note the reason why sodomite homosexuals and lesbians celebrate pride week and pride month. Ezekial 16:49 says whenever the sin of sodomy exists, there is pride, fulness of bread, and an abundance of idleness. The scripture says Behold this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

Don't Be Like The Devil And Proud Herod

Who Let Pride Destroy Them

     Don't be like the devil and proud Herod who let pride destroy them. The devil always said the word I and was destroyed by pride. Remember instead of saying I, say Lord willing. Note how many times the proud devil said I from Isaiah 14:12-16. Isaiah 14:12 says How art thou fallen from heaven O Lucifer (devil) son of the morning (not morning star incorrectly stated in the NIV perverted translation; Jesus (not the devil) is the bright morning star at Revelation 22:16) how art thou cut down to the ground which didst weaken the nations. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 

     Isaiah 14:15 goes on to say Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit (note that the devil is brought down to the sides of the pit because the pit is bottomless with no bottom). Remember when the devil reminds you of your past, remind him of his future. Tell the devil you're going to a sealed bottomless pit for 1000 years chained with a great chain where you will be falling constantly with no bottom. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee and consider thee saying Is this the man that made the earth to tremble that did shake kingdoms. 

     Now rejoice and say one of Brother Bob's favorite bible verses which is the death sentence for the devil at Ezekial 28:18-19. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee (the devil's going to the lake of fire), it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

     Don't be like proud Herod who let pride destroy him. Herod proclaimed that he was a god and got destroyed by worms. Acts 12:21 tells us And upon a set day Herod arrayed in royal apparel sat upon his throne and made an oration unto them; And the people gave a shout saying, It is the voice of a god and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him because he gave not God the glory; and he was eaten of worms and gave up the ghost. Instead be like Paul and Barnabas at Acts 14:11-15 who refused to be worshipped as gods by the people and only exalted the name of Jesus. 

Remember It's Better To Bow Down Now To Jesus And Get Saved

Than To Bow Down Later To Jesus At The Great White Throne Judgment

And Be Damned Because Of Pride And Selfishness

     Remember it's better to bow down now to Jesus and get saved than to bow down later to Jesus at the great white throne judgment and be damned because of pride and selfishness. Eventually everyone that ever lived will have to bow down to the Lord Jesus. Either you bow down now and be saved. Or you bow down later at the great white throne judgment and be damned. I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will bow down now to Jesus and get saved proclaiming everywhere that Jesus is God. Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

     Remember Philippians 2:9-11 declares Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him (Jesus), and given Him a name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

     I pray in Jesus name that this little bible study blesses multitudes all over this earth with great joy, strength, and peace.
