Prayer to Break the Spirit of Pride and Arrogance 1
It makes people arrogant, unable to listen, and face-loving, unwilling to confess sins and mistakes.
It does not fight alone, but often cooperates with other evil spirits, strengthening the camps of other evil spirits by strengthening people's arrogant mentality. It is a reinforcing agent for each evil spirit.
When Lachish (the counterfeit spirit) was besieged by Joshua, it was King Gezer who led his troops to "come up" to rescue (making people proud). When a person trapped in heresy and paganism begins to waver, the arrogant and arrogant evil spirit will come and make that person take care of his own face, become tough again, and refuse to admit that what he believes is wrong.
The concept of the arrogant and arrogant spirit:
Pride is a self-centered prison. The fences that imprison us are self-exaltation, self-glorification, self-satisfaction and self-justification. Putting oneself in this kind of imprisonment will form a spirit that often fights against God and people, and will be fueled by unforgiveness, bitterness and anger - this is the fruit of pride.
Manifestations of the spirit of pride and arrogance:
When we are fanatically protecting ourselves with an impenetrable pride, emptiness, and self-justification, we will never experience the freedom of rising and transcending ourselves on the wings of agape love. When we strive to hide ourselves in the cocoon of self-righteousness and insist on the attitude of "I want to do it my own way", we will not be able to bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit abundantly.
- There is a self-rejection and self-protection mechanism in life, wanting to keep a distance from others, unable to accept the love or words conveyed by others, always wanting to reject; not needing close interpersonal relationships, feeling that the troubles brought by interpersonal relationships far outweigh the benefits we get.
- Love to compete with others: If you are stronger than others, you will be arrogant and look down on others, and you will not be able to stand in the other person's perspective to see the weakness of others; if you are not as good as others, you will complain, be jealous, covetous, lack a teachable heart, do not respect authority, and do not obey.
- Arrogant, sarcastic, hurt, humiliate others, belittle others, exaggerate others' shortcomings, or even hold on to them, just to elevate yourself, but downplay your own shortcomings.
- Slander, complain, envy, covet, judge, be picky, love to blame, and do not accept others' forgiveness.
- Cannot think from the other person's perspective and look at the problem from the other person's perspective.
- Love face, cannot listen to others' opinions, refuse to admit mistakes, and do not ask for others' forgiveness.
- Love to compare and seek fairness and justice for spiritual or life situations, suffering or blessings.
- Centered on their own life, think they are very important, rely only on themselves, not on God.
- Make specious arguments, self-justification, blame others, and do not tolerate criticism from others; cold and merciless.
- Like to control everything, force others to do what they want, and if they don't do it, they will blame and judge endlessly.
- Lack of gratitude when encountering things; think that enjoying all the good things is a matter of course, and are not satisfied.
- Love to get angry, bad temper, irritable, impatient with people, and complain about everything; feel that their "rights" or expectations are not met.
- Often belittle oneself, feel inferior and self-pitying, appearing self-pitying on the surface, but actually being proud.
- Strive to do everything perfectly, nitpick, and often motivated by the desire to gain the approval of others.
- Selfish, only seeking for oneself, not seeking God's will or interceding for the needs of others.
- Talk about oneself too much, control the topic when communicating with others, chatter, brag; pay too much attention to what others think of oneself.
