PRIDE and the Fire of the Holy Spirit

A man was touched by the fire of the Holy Spirit by being awakened in the middle of the night, with the HOLY SPIRIT speaking to him.

He Began by researching the fire of the Holy Spirit, finding over 700 references to Heavenly Fire in the Bible.

He studied the day of Pentecost, where 120 people were baptized in the power of the Holy Spirit, and flames could be seen above every head.

He sought out this power, diligently seeking God.

Eventually, he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with fire.

He could feel burning hot flames inside his chest for about 10 to 15 minutes.

This experience set him on a path of discovery, seeking out the powerful truths in the Bible that many have forgotten.

Walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, he began to see miracles, healings, and prophecies.

He found that even in church services that didn't believe in demons and healings, people would react to the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit within him.

He stumbled into the Deliverance Ministry, where he would command demons to come out in the name of Jesus.

He found that the fire of the Holy Spirit was a torment to these demons, causing them to scream and eventually leave the person they were tormenting.

His journey is a testament to the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.

It's a reminder that if we diligently seek God, we can experience the same light that Jesus has.

If we're hungry for more, we can see miracles, healings, and prophecies, and even command demons to leave in the name of Jesus.

Leviathan is a spirit that is described as the king of pride. He rules over "the children of pride," who are the overwhelming masses of unconverted people, those not submissive to God.

Ezekiel 28:17

Here we see the very beginning of pride. The marginal reference reads, "your heart was made proud." In Job 41:34, as part of the description of Leviathan, Satan is called "king over all the children of pride." God describes no mere animal but rather uses an animal as a type of the Devil.

Satan's pride led him into war with God (Isaiah 14:12-14). He has passed this proclivity on to his "children," and their pride in turn leads them to divide from each other and enter into wars against each other as their father does. Pride is a vine that produces a multitude of evil fruits—

so many that some call it "the father of all sin." As long as the seed of pride is alive, it has a very good chance of springing forth in ugly conduct.

Satan's influence is worldwide: "We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one" (I John 5:19).

Satan and his minions are still here, continuing their war against God and His creation—man. Ephesians 2:1-3 informs us about how this warfare is being carried out:

You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Ezekiel 28:14-17 shows, he turned his heart against God to become an enemy, influencing the angels under his charge to rebel with him to fight against God (Revelation 12:9; Isaiah 14:12-14).

His basic tool for accomplishing this by means of his spirit. The driving forces of his prideful, deceitful mind and those of his demon companions are deceit, hatred, anger, competition, and destruction, all encompassed within an overweening pride.

People absorb them into their thinking processes, becoming like him in attitude and conduct. These characteristics lodge into human hearts and generate resistance to God, His law, and His purpose.

For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Luke 14:11 KJV

Why does the devil come out now? He doesn't fear Chrisitan's...
