STANDING IN THE DANGER ZONE or

STANDING IN THE DANGER ZONE or
KNEELING IN THE GLORY ZONE

In your walk with Me you are either headed toward danger or glory, depending on your positional attitude. The moment you think you have arrived at some spiritual level you are standing in a danger zone. The moment you insist on a title being used before your name, you are headed for danger. I did not say, if you had a title, I said, if you insist on the title. "Therefore let anyone who thinks he stands, who feels sure that he has a steadfast mind and is standing firm, take heed lest he fall into sin." 1 Corinthians 10:12 (AMP)

The standing position allows you opportunity to look down on others, and therefore criticize and begin to judge them according to your perceived accomplishments. However from a kneeling position of gratefulness you will look up and be able to see them in a finished condition. When you are living in the constant memory of where you came from, and how you got to where you are, you will remain grateful. A grateful spirit is the attitude that keeps you on your knees. Pride and gratefulness are bitter enemies, and never the two shall meet in the same person, because "pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." Proverbs 16:18 (AMP)

All pride will be utterly destroyed when I return and at the very mention of My name, "Jesus, every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that (I am) Lord, to the glory of (My) Father."Philippians 2:10-11 (KJV) The not so funny thing about pride is, no one thinks they have it until it collides with humility. True humility puts pride to shame instantly.

Pride immediately begins to make up foolish excuses for it's behavior and standing position. Pride will quickly leave the presence of humility to save face. Pride will only pick up a towel for a photo opt. But quickly resumes the standing position when the photographer leaves. Pride never leaves voluntarily, it must broken by humility or be crushed down into a powder form. "Whoever falls on (Me) the Stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom I fall will be crushed to powder and It will winnow him, scattering him like dust." Matthew 21:44 (AMP)

Pride and humility must be fed in order to grow. Pride is fed by thinking of himself more highly than he ought to think;" Romans 12:3 Humility is fed serving and always considering it a privilege. "you have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. [14] For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." Galatians 5:13-14 (KJV)
