The word “Proud” means: showing one’s self above others, overtopping, conspicuous above others, pre-eminent
There is much activity occurring concerning the “proud”. Stephen Jones is heading up a prayer campaign concerning “resistance”. We are looking at “giving circles” to help fund those who are fighting, resisting the human trafficking around the world. The “Proud” attempt to devalue everyone else by exalting themselves in stature due to money, power, intelligence, fame, and/or athleticism. The rest of society empowers them by agreeing to exalt them. Without followers, the “Proud” have no audience. It is well known that Wall Street had disdain for the average man. They think they are superior to everyone else since they work at the center of Mystery Babylon. They are in company with the “Proud” who work inside the beltway in D.C. In each case, their power comes from the submission and passiveness of the masses. What would happen to the NFL or NBA is no one showed up to their games or watched them on TV? Salaries would plummet. Stardom would fade away. Pro athletes need followers. What does Our Heavenly Father think about the “Proud”?
1 Peter 5:5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
Peter further writes:
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
The flesh or ego exalts the “Proud” and Our Heavenly Father exalts the humble.. in due time. Mankind is currently perpetuating the path of the “Proud”. This is while Our Heavenly Father is resisting them. HE mocks the mockers. A mocker is a scoffer: someone who jeers or mocks or treats something with contempt or calls out in derision. The true colors will show themselves soon. People will no longer support those who devalue mankind. The “elite” are only in their position because of the blindness of the average person. As people turn to Our Heavenly Father and take on HIS priorities and set their own priorities aside, the proud will be resisted. An example of this is when you trade in your country’s currency for a gold or silver coin. Effectively, you have removed financial control from others, you have devalued the fiat currency. They rely on the use of fiat currency to control the economic activity in your country. This is why the Federal Reserve was established- for control.
In other countries, the U.S. is seen as being “proud”. The pre-eminence of its economy and military has rubbed its power in the face of other countries. Its dominant economy has been too much for other countries to challenge. But it is not too much for Our Heavenly Father to deal with. What happens when HE becomes our adversary? A devaluation occurs, with extreme prejudice. When this happens, HE will give grace to the humble, those who live in moderation. Can you see how the Spiritual preparation is tying to the economic preparation of what’s ahead? The Chinese are being moved to decouple economic activity from the U.S. Dollar. They are being used as agents to resist the proud, whether they know it or not. When this decoupling occurs, we all should be prepared, based on what Our Heavenly Father has instructed us to do. HE knows the plan and will implement it in perfection. As we trust in HIM, we will be the ones who receive grace.
