Pride Brings a Fall!
When I seek The LORD, I try to seek His face and not His hand — I seek to know His will and to have His Presence.
If you seek Him first and the needs of His Kingdom, all your own needs will be met, but some get out of balance with this and do things out of presumption instead of by His Leading.
Many put their ministry ahead of The LORD’s and come at a loss.
Other things creep in like lust for fame, fortune, and the pride of life, which brings a fall.
If we seek His Face and Will, we know we are putting Him first, and all the Glory goes to His Name and not our own.
- What do you put first in your life?
- Is it your reputation?
- Are you trying to put your name in lights like someone who is famous?
- Or are you becoming more meek and humble and allowing The LORD Jesus to be seen through you?
The price is high if you seek the cost of laying it all down at His feet and not to pick it back up.
No more comparison with others in any way but trying to be more like Him.
Reach out and touch the hem of His garment (Matthew 9:20-21) and be healed in your mind, soul, body, and spirit.
He paid the price for your salvation.
Quit trying to do it all.
Just hand it all over to Him and surrender it all.
Let go and let God!
Some say “how?”! Be desperate, cry out, and wait upon Him.
Who needs a Word like this? We all do because the enemy’s tactics of deception are subtle.
He knows how to set a snare when you are unaware.
When you are at your peak and everything is going well, the enemy will come in and like a flood wash it all away.
If your Kingdom Ministry was built upon the Rock, it will stand, but that which was built upon the flesh will fall.
There have been many strong “ministers of God” who came to a crashing halt and were found out to be not of Him. And what a shock it was to all!
Where there is pride — comes a fall — and an end to it all!

Yolanda Ballard of At The Father’s Feet website, shares with you, the body of Christ, the words she’s received quietly sitting at The Father’s feet. I believe Jesus set the example for us to follow. Whenever He could He would come apart from the busyness of the world so that He could quiet Himself before The Father, for that is where He received direction and strength to carry out His will.
Yolanda, you stated it so very well! Let us all check our hearts daily as we seek His face. Sweet blessings.
Pride goeth before destruction, and a hauty spirit before a fall. With pride comes destruction.
Thanks so much, Yolanda, for sharing this…such a common yet seeminly ignord by the church The prid of our heart is truly a place where much deception is rooted. In His love, Sandi
Amen..so true..
Yolanda, so true, so very true. I’ve been getting some dreams and don’t even want to record them because of the subtleness of the enemy. If it’s from the Lord, He will speak and give understanding, then I will know which is from Him.
