People who are secure in God, are not afraid to move forward in all that He has called them to do, just because someone told them that they are being proud! Most of these people are just proud of the God in them, and want to share Him with anyone and anybody to whom they have been assigned. They know that they were a wretch at one time, and all that they really ever had, was God.

Most of the time, this is why God can use them. They know they are nothing, without Him, and do not trust in their flesh, but in Him. They can be some of the most humble people of all in reality. Lots of times, the spirits of Jezebel, religion, and jealousy arise, when they start making a lot of headway. It is to make them feel that they are unspiritual for doing exactly what God has called them to do.

Remember, both pride and and false Humility will stop the Kingdom from moving forward in you.

The Lord is not pleased with either. Just keep being obedient. Move forward. Keep building and dreaming, as big as God wants you to dream, and give no place to the enemy!

In due season you will reap, if you do not faint!
