Summary: Describes how pride can cause one to lose sight of salvation

5. Those that pray with themselves — these that pray - direct their prayers to their surroundings and not unto God. Their belief fall on or is centered around idol gods, their money, and the security of their jobs.

6. Those that exalt themselves — These not submitting to the conviction of the Spirit — place themselves above the Word of God — whereas the word has become novels, fabels and wise tales given throughout a period of history.

7. Those that do not confess their sin. — These put to naught the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.

Now I know someone out there is thinking within themselves that these don’t fit — or that you don’t fall into this catagory — but as I read these scriptures I found that there are three types of Pharisees —

There is the Racial Pharisee — those that just can’t stand others because they don’t look as good as you...

There is the Social Pharisee — those that look down there noses, and the only time they will help someone is when recognition is given.

There is the Interlectural Pharisee — those that think that they know everything

Just before your minds get to easy — here are eight ways to know if you are a pharisee;

1. When you like the ability to receive correction

2. When you boost of yourself

3. When you only see the wrong in others

4. When you feel that you have to fix others (let me take the mote out of your eye)

5. When you feel that you are closer to God than anyone else

6. When your prayer is a prayer is a performance

7. When you want recognition for everything that you do

8. When you have a critical spirit — always criticizing others — no matter what the situation

I’am reminded of the words of GOD when he spoke to Solomon - If my people that are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Just incase there are some pharisees in the house — I need you to know that Jesus can fix your heart and your mind.. He can take you and mold you like the potter in the days of Jeremiah molded the clay at the wheel...

He will make you brand new

He’ll pick you up — turn you around —

place you feet on solid ground
