There are battles that rage of which we know nothing.  No man has ever heard an angel speak unless he is personally addressed; and that for the purposes of the war in spiritual realms.  The Holy Lord Jesus does not appear to men unless it furthers the means of heaven.  Men are nothing.  Nothing of heaven is for our entertainment.

We are what is being fought over.  And this place in eternity is not for the sake of men.  Is for the sake of the will of God and that for His Son Jesus. 

The man who thinks he is something is mistaken.  While we live in this place we are but pawns in a great contest.  Pride thinks otherwise.  And when this place is over we will take our place as servants of the Most High God.  Man has no individual purpose other than to serve the Lord who made him.

Pride devises a man’s self-importance by drawing on falsehoods.  Such a man thinks he is something because he knows how to tie his shoes.  But God is able to reduce such people.  To doubt that is to rely on the falsehoods the break our souls.

But once a man is in the clutches of the Most High God, he quickly learns the futility of pride.  All things are for Christ, and that to the glory of the Father.

The Lord will purge his people.  He will drive out iniquity.  Then, as it has been written, “You will know that I am God.”  Endure!
