So I told someone about a dream I had long ago about aliens invading earth by the hundreds and then in my spirit I somehow knew the rapture would happen any second. Now I personally don't give much interest in those dreams anymore but she wanted to know if I had dreams like she did. Apparently she believes she has the gift of dream interpretation told me it wasn't about aliens or the rapture at all but about me. saying that I was going to crash in my faith and not be able to get back up.

Now here is how I responded, personally I thought if that dream was to be interpretated she got it all wrong but I said if as she says I crash in my faith I am not afraid because in all my darkest times in all my worst and fiery trials and suffering in life in all my great testing of faith he has been there the entire time he gave me strength to keep going regardless how much I screwed up and so if I do crash I have nothing to fear because he will be with me and we will overcome together as one. I then proceeded to tell her that I don't believe her interpretation is correct.

She then messages me saying I am full of pride boasting how close I am to God she said she has the gift of discerning spirits and that I have much pride. Now honestly I fear pride I fear of even thinking of being prideful and what I said wasn't intended to be prideful but to say I am not afraid because I trust in God. Was what I said prideful? Pride arrogance greed such things are poison to the soul and faith and so I do all I can to stay away from them, I'm not saying such things don't try to pop up but as far as I know I push them back most of the time and not allow them in my heart.
The fact that you're asking if you're prideful shows that you are not. Besides, you always share warmth and kindness with everyone here, and those are not traits of prideful people.
