The Letter "I" by pastorkc4life: 8:25am On Dec 13, 2017
TEXT:"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth."-3 John 4

The letter "I" is the ninth letter of the English alphabet. It is used as a subject of a verb when the speaker or writer is referring to himself or herself. The "I" in the text above, refers to the apostle John, who by no means, is a humble man.

However, I wish to digress a bit, to discuss the letter "I" as pride: a feeling that you are better or more important than other people. I call this a negative pride. This is because, just as there is a negative pride, there is also a positive pride: a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction that you get when you or your friends or relatives have done something well or own something that other people admire; or a feeling of respect that you have for yourself.

In writing about the negative pride, Lucifer, son of the morning, is an epitome of a man of pride, and he will be our case study for this message. Expounding the five "I" of Lucifer, Isaiah 14:12-14. The first "I" of the Lucifer: I will ascend into the heaven. The heaven Lucifer wanted to ascend to is or was the third heaven, where the throne of God is, Isaiah 66:1. This is so because he already had access to the first heaven: the air; the clouds; the sky; where the sun, the moon, and the stars are located, Ephesians 2:2; 6:12.

The second "I" of Lucifer: I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. Stars in the Bible, refer to angels, Revelation 1:20; 12:4. Stars also refer to men, Genesis 15:5; Numbers 24:17. And to exalt his throne above the stars of God means he wants to receive homage both from angels and men.

The third "I" of Lucifer: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. This is a place of power, Psalm 48:1, 2. Anyone, who sits upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north, rules the world. Lucifer wanted to rule the world.

The fourth "I" of Lucifer: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. As I earlier said, the clouds et all were the first heaven. Lucifer was no more content with where God had placed him, he wanted somewhere higher, but he went about it in the wrong way.

The fifth and final "I" of Lucifer: I will be like the most High. There is nothing wrong in being like the most High, after all God made us like himself, Genesis 1:26. But, everything is wrong in trying to be like God in pride, especially in the negative pride. We should be like God in humility, just like Jesus Christ, Philippians 2:5-11. Lucifer, in the negative pride, wanted to be like God.

But unfortunately for Lucifer, all his five "I", all ended in his intention, because they never came to pass, that is, he did not succeed. However, he met his waterloo, Isaiah 14:15-23.

The almighty God always resist the proud, but he gives grace to the humble. Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, and in due time he will exalt you, 1 Peter 5:5, 6. Let us therefore, be ware of the danger of pride, because what happened to Lucifer can also happen to anyone who is proud, especially the negative pride. Be warned! And remain blessed! Shalom!

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

The Goal of Life is the Ascension.

To Ascend is to become more than man, to rise above being human, becoming a God and becoming one with the Most High Creator of All.

Lucifer clearly depicted the journey and the purpose of Life, but this truth has been totally tagged negative pride by the Religions and the Savior Program of the Matrix. There is no single pride there, it is the aim of Life without which life seem meaningless to others.

There is no pride is seeking to Ascend to become like God and one with the Almighty Creator. Stop judging Lucifer, just focus on your truth and note that God is a Binary, Fractal Algorithm and Life itself is a Cosmic Game of Hide and Seek, by the Creator.

The Physical world is just a ripple of the Spirit World, learn to be and go there while still alive on this Body. That is the essence of Ascension. That is why you were birthed on this 3rd Density Planet with vibratory Frequency of 7.83Hz

Establish contact with the Ascended Masters, Spirit Guides and the Angels and they will guide you through your journey through life to becoming the greatest version of yourself.

Know this truth and move a step beyond Religions, where you are taught to listen to preachers who by no means actually know the purpose of life. Which is why you all cry at burials. For Ye Shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
