Ask this what did God come to do, keep us alive in the flesh Spirit that we were originally born with by the womb?
Or are we all after flesh birth in need to be born again in the Spirit of God?
Pride is of the flesh and so is boasting of self and or others except Christ.
Paul was admonished in his flesh whenever he got to a point that he thought he had it all together, pride would be setting in.
So here are the verses that cover this:
[h=3]2 Corinthians 12:7-13[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]7[/SUP]And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. [SUP]8 [/SUP]For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. [SUP]9 [/SUP]And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. [SUP]10[/SUP]Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. [SUP]11 [/SUP]I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. [SUP]12 [/SUP]Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. [SUP]13 [/SUP]For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
Praying you catch what God is saying here to Paul, not to be what? Proud or boastful, rather humble and in need for God.
By praising and glorying in God, evil stands no chance.
Just as in the day of King Jehoshaphat, you won the war by not fighting, sent out the praise and worship band, the three armies that had come against King Jehoshaphat were confused and killed each other off, get it.
our weapons are not carnal
