Arrogance In Unusual Places

I want to blog this tonight while the Lord has my heart in this place. Tonight I stayed over for the evening service at church. Which isn't typical. We normally have one service, and head home. But, tonight something was different. There is one thing that moves my spirit, and God knows that it is arrogance. The bible says that we are not to think of ourselves more than we ought. And now I am understanding why. The Lord wants to be glorified in our lives which is why He tells us to  love our enemies. He do not want our enemies to know that we had anything to do with the vegenance of the Lord falling on them until after, and everything is already said and done. He wants them to know that it was Him, and not ourselves. It almost feels like when someone is being mean to you, and treat you horribly. And you tell them you love them, and then there lives turn upside down, and there coming to you asking you to pray for them. And when God hears your prayers, and begins to move in there life because of you. He has then redeemed you in front of them because now instead of your enemy they have fallen in love with you, and now they are calling you friend. See, the Lord know everything that we do in His name and the things that we dont. And when we aren't doing it in His name the Lord considers us arrogant.

Tonight I witnessed arrogance in a place that it should not be. Tonight I saw a powerful man of God displays arrogance, and I am praying to God to deal with Him openly. I want to exercise that it is Him, and Him alone. And that every soul belongs to the Lord, and that all honor and glory belongs to the Lord. And in the same manner I am praying to God that if there is any arrogance in me that He purges it from me. Because God shares His glory with no man, nor His praise with any graven images. If you have witnessed the same thing I ask that you simply pray to God about it, and watch Him work.
