Podcasts about pride of life

In this powerful message, "Love Not The World," Pastor Tim Walker dives deep into 1 John 2:15-17, where the apostle John issues a stern warning to believers. What does it truly mean to not love the world or the things in the world? Tim unpacks this key passage, focusing on the three primary roots of sin—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—and how they manifest in our daily lives. Discover the critical importance of being on guard against the constant temptations the enemy uses to draw us away from God. Learn practical ways to recognize these temptations and stand firm in your faith, ensuring your affections are set on the things of heaven, not the fleeting pleasures of this life. Don't miss this essential study on maintaining a pure heart and a focused walk with Christ.

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.”

Message:  Drake Holderman, Missional Impact MinisterPassage: 2 Samuel 24Series: A Man After God's Own Heart

This verse is from 1 John 2: 15-17.  The battle for the human heart that began at the fall of man, is accelerating, we can sense it, almost smell it in the air we breath. The world that we grew up in, while not perfect, at least gave those of us fortunate enough to have been born in the United States,  the freedom to breath and to choose good or evil for the most part. The air of freedom is being snuffed out, and many do not seem to notice. This battle begins and ends at the level of the human heart, your heart and my heart. What does it take to turn this situation around? In answering this question tow fundamental truths should be kept in mind: first, that man, men and women, are called to live in truth and love; and second, that everyone finds fulfillment through the sincere gift of self.

Pride is self-serving. It has a long history of inflicting pain on others, and thereby, bringing about the destruction of many relationships. Unfortunately, it is one of the most subtle, and negative dispositions the human heart produces. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/790/29
