What if the greatest obstacle to spiritual authority isn't the enemy—but ourselves? In this message, Chad Everett continues the Spiritual Authority — Restored in Christ series by addressing one of the most subtle and dangerous temptations believers face: the pride of life. Drawing from Luke 4, this teaching examines how Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit, led by the Spirit, and trained through temptation—and how His response reveals the path to true spiritual authority. This sermon challenges a common mindset in modern Christianity: living independently from God while still expecting His blessing. Through the temptation narrative, Chad shows that the pride of life is not merely arrogance or boasting, but self-rule—making decisions apart from God, trusting our own understanding, and asking God to bless choices we never submitted to Him. A key focus of this message is Psalm 91 and how Scripture can be misunderstood or misused when it is separated from relationship and obedience. Satan himself quoted Scripture to Jesus, but left out the condition of dwelling in God's presence. This teaching calls believers to examine whether they are pursuing the promises of God or the person of God. The Roads Church: https://theroads.church

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Aug 27, 2025 You must understand that meekness is fundamentally different from what most people imagine. When Scripture describes Moses as "very meek above all men on the face of the earth," it does not mean he was simply humble or soft-spoken. True meekness is a heart condition where the "pride of life" has been dried up - where your soul is no longer resistant to engaging with God when He seeks your attention. **The Root of Spiritual Pride** Pride, in the biblical sense, is not mere arrogance or boastfulness. It is your resistance to disengaging from one realm of fellowship to enter another. When God desires your attention and you find yourself putting Him off or treating His voice as unimportant, you are demonstrating pride. This happens because something else has captured your affection - whether money, pleasure, power, or any worldly pursuit - making it difficult for you to respond immediately to God's call. The Scripture identifies three components that make up worldliness: the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. These work progressively - first you see something enticing (lust of the eyes), then you remember and desire to experience it again (lust of the flesh), and finally that desire becomes so strong that it interferes with your ability to hear and respond to God (pride of life). **Satan's Example and Its Implications** Satan's fall illustrates this principle perfectly. His heart was "lifted up because of his beauty" - not because he became conceited, but because he calculated that his God-given abilities were sufficient for him to operate independently of God. This led him to cut off the continuous flow of inspiration that comes from the Creator, resulting in spiritual death. Satan's rebellion was essentially choosing self-sufficiency over dependence on God. This same pattern affects humanity. When you operate from a place of perceived self-sufficiency, you begin to live the kind of life Satan lives - one marked by spiritual blindness, the need to steal and defend resources, and an inability to receive from God's abundance. **The Connection to Prayer and Fellowship** What many believers call "difficulty with prayer" is actually pride manifesting in their spiritual lives. If you find it hard to engage with God, if prayer feels burdensome or if you consistently delay responding to His promptings, you are dealing with spiritual arrogance. The church's widespread struggle with prayer is fundamentally a pride problem. Moses reached a level of meekness that exceeded even prophetic gifting. While most prophets receive revelation through dreams, visions, and symbolic communications that require interpretation, Moses communicated with God "mouth to mouth, plainly, not in dark speeches." This was not special treatment - it was the result of Moses being "faithful in all God's house," meaning he consistently responded to God's voice over long periods of time. **Practical Application** To develop meekness, you must actively practice the opposite of pride. When God prompts you to pray, respond immediately rather than finding excuses. When He speaks through His word, engage rather than delay. This is not about perfection but about consistent practice - "by reason of use" your spiritual senses become exercised. The goal is to reach a place where you can "receive with meekness the implanted word" which saves your soul through reconnection with God. Without this meekness, even when you hear God's voice, pride will prevent you from acting on what you've heard. Remember that you are not of this world, which "lies under the sway of the wicked one." Any worldliness in your life can be traced to some form of fellowship with Satan's system. The Melchizedek priesthood requires a lifestyle of meekness - there is no shortcut around developing this heart condition through consistent, faithful engagement with God over time. http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

Message: Mark Christian, Senior MinisterPassage: Daniel 4:1–37Series: Allegiance: Stories From Daniel

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The Confessions. It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 10 of the type of temptation that is called "the pride of life", or (due to an alternate translation from the Latin Vulgate) the "ambition of the world". This has to do with our desire to feared or loved by others, to set ourselves above others, and wanting others to acknowledge our superiority.

By Gary Beam - The "Pride of Life" pertains to a love for the things of this world. How occupied are we with the present world around us, and how much and how often are we tempted to let the physical desires interfere with the work of salvation in us? Are we being about Our Father's Business or too busy with this

Sunday, March 16, 2025 – We’re still studying 1 John 2:15-17, and the title of our message today is: “Living in but Not Loving the World.” There are many things in life that we can control and many more that we cannot. We have no say in the nature or condition of the “world” we inhabit. For this reason, we must understand the definition of the word “world. " The Bible uses this word from two different perspectives. The first definition of “world” refers to the created world described in Genesis 1. God created the world and everything in it and was pleased with it, indicating that it was perfect and given to mankind to steward and rule over. However, Satan’s temptation to rebel against God led Adam and Eve to exchange their domain and rulership of the world for a bite of fruit taken in rebellion. Thus, mankind relinquished the rulership of the perfect created world to Satan, marking the beginning of the second definition of the word: the “Kosmos World,” which represents the organizational system of the fallen subset of the created world. Since then, Satan has actively twisted and distorted everything about the perfect “Created World” into an evil-inspired “Kosmos World System” in which we live. This is the chaos we experience in our world system today. This is the world that we are warned not to love in our text today. Worship and study with us as we learn about the three main temptations in this “Kosmos World,” identified as the “Lust of the Flesh, " the “Lust of the Eyes,” and the “Pride of Life.”
