Perceived Spirituality Can Destroy You

"All of us, at some point, need a miracle! That is when you really begin to appreciate and wish for MORE spirituality -- the power to, legally, tap into another dimension and alter the natural course of earthly events".

Spirituality Attack #4: Your Pride

Your Own Pride Will Destroy You

The Bible tells the eyewitness account of a man who earthly physicians and medical science had no help for. He was in this world without hope and without God. His name was Naaman.

Another man had connected with God and developed a very intimate friendship with God. His friendship with God resulted in God giving him many powers in the spirit-world as He will give you if you develop such friendship with him. This man's name was Elisha and God decided to send Elisha to help Naaman. Naaman was a leper:




2 Kings 5:1
Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.
2 Kings 5:1-3 (in Context) 2 Kings 5 (Whole Chapter)



2 Kings 5:10-11

10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.




I have told you in my profile (see profile on left sidebar of this page) about how I have traveled at the Lord's command to help people.

In the profile, you have read of my hurt when watching individuals suffer needlessly because of something they think they know (often a small piece of knowledge they gained from a friend or in a church meeting or Bible college).

A deluded need to show off that you know just as much 'about God' as God's own chosen servant who 'knows God' makes you look foolish to God and wastes the precious time you have to get help, before he tells his servant to move on to somebody else who is more worthy than you due to your prideful, haughty attitude.

A true minister of Jesus Christ is a person that has been selected by God himself for an intimate friendship with him and spiritual powers.
God chooses them, they do not choose themselves. The minister's spirituality that comes from friendship with God is a spirituality that you cannot acquire by attending bible college or seminary, because it is not what you know, but WHO YOU KNOW -- you have sacrificed your life and taken the time to get to know God.

Trying to 'correct' (be smarter than) the servant of Jesus Christ, whom Jesus sent to help you is a pride that will surely destroy you. God said so ...

Proverbs 16:18

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:17-19 (in Context) Proverbs 16 (Whole Chapter)


Hosea 4:4

Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
Hosea 4:3-5 (in Context) Hosea 4 (Whole Chapter)

In the above news report about Naaman, we see that he thought he was too high up to be told what to do. Different demon spirits tend to be attracted to different peoples and nations. My travels in America show me that the one thing plaguing individuals from getting rescued out of a horrible situation is the prideful attitude that they are someone who is not to be told what to do. Secretly they think, "you are lower than me, it is an insult to my station to receive instruction, correction or guidance from you". Just do something that will make me look good and I will comply. That was Naaman's attitude, which kept him a leper as long as he thought that way.

A 'girl' had pity on Naaman and spoke humble wisdom. If the prophet of God had told you to go do some great thing, you would have done it to be healed of your leprosy, so why not, when he has told you to do an humble thing, simply do it and be cured!


Jesus instructed how to acquire friendship and power from God, once you, legally, enter the spirit-world ...



Matthew 18:1

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? (the spirit-world which God rules)


Mat 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,


Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.


Mat 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.


Mat 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.


It was a girl who Naaman finally listened to, did what the servant of God's instructions were from God, and was healed!

Conceit Blocks Spiritual Development & Miracles

Pride about your perceived spirituality will block you from seeking to acquire true spirituality.

Mark 6:3

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
Mark 6:2-4 (in Context) Mark 6 (Whole Chapter)

Pride about your spiritual knowledge will cause you to reject additional spiritual knowledge when God is sending it to you. When you need it for a miracle later, you will be up a creek!

Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee,

Pride about your spiritual title or recognition will cause you to reject God when he sends someone to help you that you think makes you look 'low' to yourself or others.


John 12:42-44

42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.






Pride about your perceived experience with God will cause you to strive with the minister of God ... which will destroy you.


Numbers 12
1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.

9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

If you learned today that you have been a person who argues with the minister of Jesus Christ and has, by example, taught your children to show the same haughty spirit toward ministers and other authorities -- reverse the curse!

Ask Jesus to show us any pride blocking good things from us and to forgive us and teach us His right way. He will be happy to set anyone on a path to peace and power in the spirit-world which He rules!
