I’ve learned another lesson recently, and I must share it with you. God has warned me about having spiritual pride. What exactly does that mean?

In my case, I honestly can say I’ve had a huge revelation from God. He has come into my life, and moved in my life in the most miraculous ways. I’ve been a sponge, and I’ve tried to soak up everything about God that I possibly can. These are all great things, but I caught myself feeling some emotions that God instantly told me were not from Him. What I was feeling is that if I could suddenly understand everything that was so complicated before why couldn’t other people. That’s how it starts.

Next thing you know, I was looking at Christians and wondering, “how they could do some of the things they were doing and be a Christian?” I started getting higher and higher on my pedestal. God, as awesome as He is, knocked me off the pedestal. Thankfully, He did it before the feelings got out of control, so the fall didn’t hurt as much as some of the other lessons I’ve had to learn.

I decided to let God change some of my thoughts about people….

This is one example of spiritual pride. It comes in many forms, and it’s the beginning of the separation of Christians. We need to be united. We need to stand together and lead an example, as Jesus did. We can’t judge anyone based on the way we feel. We can’t think we are better because God showed us something that he didn’t show someone else. We can’t come to a conclusion that one person’s sin is worse than another’s. We are all sinners, and God is the only judge.

Have you experienced spiritual pride?
