God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Self pride is the highest insult against the glory of God. It is lived out by worshiping “the God in the mirror,“ while becoming self-reliant, hedonistic, and building our own materialistic, empire, for which we take full credit. It is living as if God doesn’t exist, or is irrelevant. Satan’s goal is to get us to manipulate others to worship and follow us rather than Jesus Christ as Lord.Key Scriptures on Pride and GreedEzekiel 28:15-17Isaiah 14:13-14Proverbs 16:5Daniel 4:28-37James 4:6-71 Peter 5:5-91 John 2:15-17Key Scriptures on Humility and a Contrite Heart2 Chronicles 7:13-18Isaiah 55:6-12Isaiah 57:15Isaiah 66:1-2James 4:4-101 Peter 5:5-111 John 2:15-17Prayer for Repentance from Pride and GreedFather, I stand in the gap and repent for my ancestors on both sides of my family back over three, four, and seven and ten generations and even back over forty and one hundred generations for our great pride and our pride in all its forms.Father I repent of all my stiff necked pride and stubbornness (Acts 7:51) with rebellion;I repent of all religious and denominational pride, all ambitious pride and the iniquity of a critical spirit with cutting words and actions and even wanting and seeking vengeance.I also repent where I cannot be told anything for I have thought that I knew it all and I repent of my haughtiness and loftiness.I ask where I am listening but never hearing to change my heart and open my ears to understand Your Word and Your ways for I repent for not being teachable and for being judgmental.I repent of my over exaggerated opinion of myself, my conceit, my haughty behavior, my arrogance and even where I am delighted in my own achievements and think very little of others or have no time for those who do not have my 'stature'and brilliance.Father, I repent where I have become intolerant of others because they lack my understanding, intelligence and capabilities and even where I have isolated myself because people are just not what I want them to be and they are just not like me.I repent where I have wanted to change others and even taken their roles because they are not as perfect as me.I repent of the fruits of suspicion and mistrust and self deception and where I have become legalist reveal to me and bring to death this legalism.Father, I repent where rejection has caused me to become a perfectionist and where I have become puffed up with pride and rebellion.I repent of myself righteousness and where I have rejected you and not obeyed Your command of love of the brethren and acceptance of the beloved and not walking in love.I repent also where I have justified my own rebellion and disobedience to Your Word and ways because of a stronghold of the transgression of pride.I repent also of my pride of prosperity, my furniture, my belongings, my car, my income, my business, my career and even my calling and position in the church.

I bind deception and lies right now in the Name of Jesus. I curse every attempt of the devil to get me to buy a lie.I refuse to be tempted to believe lies wrapped in truth and things that sound good or sound right, but do not line up with Your Word.I declare that I walk in love toward all people, which is a defense against deception. I ask, Lord, that when people—even proclaiming Christians—exalt new ideas over the Word of God, that I will be quick to recognize it—that I will look to Your Word for guidance and confirmation, not to man.I ask that every veil be removed from my eyes, that I will not be blinded by the opinions of others, by the thoughts and ideas of the world, but I will know the true voice of my Shepherd.Lord, I ask that You bring conviction upon me for any areas where I have fallen into believing a lie. Show me these areas, and bring them to my mind. I ask that You cause me to humble myself, repent and get back on the road of truth.Your Word says You set the captives free, and I declare today that I am free of deception. I praise You and thank You that You keep me safe in Your truth and that I will always have strength and desire to abide in You, no matter what persecution I may face.In Your Name, I pray. Amen.Mentioned in this episode:Nux Ad Preroll

Amid her struggles, KB shares with Steph how God has showed up in her circumstances. Each step we take by faith toward God creates fear in the enemy. He comes only to steal, kill and destroy but God has sovereignty over everything and therefore, the final say. Just as with Job, we know that the Lord allows hardships in order to perfect our faith and to bring Him the glory he deserves.Mentioned in this episode:Nux Ad Preroll
