--page 511--
God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble (Jam.4:6).
1. With Cain & Abel began the Battle Royal between pride & humility, between the damned religionists & the saved sinners, the perpetual warfare that has been waged ever since between the False Church & the True Church, the Whore & the Bride, Carnal Babylon & Spiritual Jerusalem, the Flesh & the Spirit, Works & Faith, Law & Grace, Self & God.

37. The best way to get the last word is to apologise.
38. Great men are humble men.
39. Let me be when I am weary,

99. Suicide is a result of pride, people just can't face it, can't stand the scandal, the humiliation, the degradation.
100. Selfishness is pride. The selfish believe they deserve more than others, therefore they are unwilling to share.
101. There is no rest in pride, the proud are always afraid.
102. I never found any branch of the Lord's work where pride pays at all! Pride does not pay, & it doesn't pay the bills. We've got every reason in the World to ask for help for His Work.
103. Lack of power is the result of fear born of pride, fear of not succeeding, fear of being embarrassed, fear of being ashamed. Such fear always comes as the result of pride, because the proud are afraid of failure. The rich & the powerful are the most fearful people in the World.
104. Legalism & self-righteousness are manifestations of pride.
105. It's a sign of pride if we're too sensitive & we snap back or we feel hurt. Sensitiveness is born of pride & pride is of the Enemy.

If there's anything any soldier has got to learn to do, as you oughtta know, it's to be able to take a cussin' out by his commanding officer for his mistakes, & say, "Yes, sir; thank you, sir; & what next, sir?"--Even if it hurts! This is a war & we have little time for sensitivity & nursing our wounds or hurt feelings! We must fight on!
107. I've seldom found that silence breathes consent: It often breathes a smouldering, hidden resentment, which is fearful of being voiced & therefore says nothing.
108. When you have the "poor me's," you're usually just trying to get attention & sympathy! Your pride is wounded, your ego has been a little deflated, your self-confidence has been a little shaken, & you begin to feel sorry for yourself & wonder if you should quit. The cure is to forget yourself & love others.
109. As to sensitivity & hurt feelings: The Devil will try to tell you it's ok to be just a little bit down, a little bit sorry for yourself! After all, you deserve to enjoy just a little bit of discouragement so you can get a little bit of sympathy from others! Why not? Misery loves company! This is self-indulgence & must be resisted & lost in love.
110. Some people are so damn delicate they can't stand anything; they can't take the slightest pressure--they collapse because they're not holding on to the Lord, they're not standing on the Word, they're not believing in His promises! They're depending on some damn self-righteousness of their own, some depraved greatness they think they have! Let me tell you, that kind of sanctimonious hypocrisy can't stand the shock treatments of the Devil! It shatters very easily!
111. Only pride hurts!--Humility doesn't really feel it.
112. When a brother is easily offended, it shows he is not very strong & he is pretty unspiritual.
113. Not being able to take chastening in correction for your mistakes is a very poor example of humility.
114. You're glorifying Satan when you talk about your sins. You're glorifying self when you talk about your faults.
115. You have to find out the difference between reality & the imaginary--the truth & the lie.
116. Even an inferiority complex & really being bothered by it, in a way is pride. You're worried about what people think about you.
117. People who are inclined to have a rather superiority complex attitude usually underneath have an inferiority complex & they're very self-conscious about having any people around whom they do feel are superior.
118. Don't any of you get so damned cocky that you don't think you have to consult with others, or ask for counsel & advice, especially from the Lord & the local leaders who are familiar with the situation & the business & the law!
119. One of the safest ways to keep from being made a fool of by God is just to keep reminding everybody that you are a fool, & it's only the Lord that's doing it.
120. You're glorifying Satan when you talk about your sins. You're glorifying self when you talk about your faults, unless you are sincerely confessing them & asking for counsel or forgiveness.
121. The Devil can really tell you a lot of truth about yourself that's horrible, not to speak of the lies he tells you, so if you start listening to the Devil, there's no end to it.
122. When you're trying so much in your own righteousness, your own perfection, it becomes almost impossible to confess your mistakes & shortcomings because it destroys your self-confidence & it nearly shatters your self-reliance because it proves you're not perfect.
123. Pride makes it even harder to forgive yourself, even though you know God will forgive you.
124. Don't feel sorry for yourself & try to blame it on God, & quit. Self-pity is pride, hurt feelings are damnable stinking self, & at the root of every doubt there is sin--the heinous diabolical sin of rebellion against God's Will.
125. One of the biggest dangers you have is to begin thinking it's you instead of God's anointing. The minute you start patting yourself on the back, God will see to it that you're humbled to bring you out of it. He's a jealous God & He wants & deserves the glory & will have no other gods before Him.
126. People who are inclined to have a rather superiority complex attitude, usually underneath have an inferiority complex & they're very self-conscious about having any people around whom they do feel are superior.
127. If we'll just recognise that we're little children who don't know anything, & the Lord is the One Who knows it all, & that He's the only One Who is really wise & knows what He's doing, & that we must just follow Him, then He can really show His power.
128. As long as you're calling, you can expect God to answer. As long as you're seeking, God will show the way. As long as you admit that you're empty, you'll be able to be filled.
129. The hardest words to say in any language are, "I was wrong." If you are not willing to admit you are wrong and confess that you need help & an answer & solution to your problem, God will never have an opportunity to do the miracle you need. That takes humility of the kind only God can give.
130. When Saul became proud & dependent upon himself & his own wisdom & his own arm of the flesh instead of upon the Lord, the Lord had to abase him.
131. If you're sensitive & easily hurt, that shows how proud you are. Some people are actually proud of being sensitive. Some people think that being sensitive is a good thing.
132. When a brother is easily offended, it shows he's not very strong & pretty unspiritual. He was offended about something, which gave him a sense of self-righteousness which ministered to his pride.
133. False prophecies & false interpretations of the Bible are often a result of spiritual pride & the frustrated temptation to want to be a spiritual leader.
134. "Be not as the Old Church, which doth wear clothes which are for show & to protect herself from Me, but bare thyself unto Me in humility & in love... For I will have a new bride, who will love Me & will do My Will & will bear Me children, no longer barren as she (the Old Church) was."
135. That was Saul's main problem, he was a man-pleaser. To make the people happy, to please the people, he disobeyed the Lord.
136. If you have even one talent & God calls on you to do something with it, don't be afraid of what people will think or whether you'll succeed: Just obey! Don't just sit there & do nothing: Stand up & be counted, & let God be the judge!
137. Be sure that your anger is in the right spirit with the meekness & gentleness of a tender & gentle & loving & contrite heart in all humility.
138. The more guilty you are, the more you defend yourself. It's a form of self-righteous pride.
139. The best people are the ones who are willing to do anything that needs to be done! If you're too good to wash dishes or sweep floors or pull weeds or anything that needs to be done when there's nobody else to do it, then you're too good for us!
140. There's no job that should ever be beneath anybody or too low for anybody!
141. One reason why the Lord doesn't give special powers to more people is because they'd become very proud & they wouldn't be able to handle it. They'd become spiritually proud & try to show off.
142. It's your responsibility to stand up for what you feel is right, but the way you do it is what's important, whether in pride & argumentatively, or in humility.
143. Great men are truly humble men. They never pass up a little child without a smile or a kind word or a loving attitude & thoughtfulness.
144. It's better to be humble & bend gracefully when it storms, than to be proud & stiff & break when adversity comes.

While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from Heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will. The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, & did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of Heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagle's feathers, and his nails like bird's claws. Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise, extol and honour the King of Heaven, all Whose works are truth, & His ways judgment: and those that walk in pride He is able to abase.
