00:01 Welcome back. In our applications section we always
00:03 like to share practical things; something you can do
00:06 at home this week.
00:07 Today we talked about the boastful heart.
00:11 And whether you feel like that fits you, don't be discouraged.
00:16 1. This week just go to God and say, God, what are the areas of
00:20 pride that are lurking in my heart?
00:23 Am I boastful and I don't even know about it?
00:27 Ask God to prompt you on the shoulder when the first step
00:30 of pride comes into your life.
00:32 Psalm 36:11. I have my Bible open here.
00:36 It says, Let not the foot of pride come against me,
00:40 and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
00:44 I like that verse because it indicates the foot
00:47 of pride to me is the first step.
00:50 So David's saying, God, I don't even want the
00:52 first step of pride.
00:55 I don't even want the first step.
00:56 So go to God. Ask Him to show you this week, Are there any
01:00 areas of boastful pride that exist?
01:03 And if so, ask Him to show you the very first step
01:08 when you slip into that.
01:09 2. Is ask your accountability partner...
01:12 We talked on a previous program about that.
01:15 Ask a trusted girlfriend, a Godly girlfriend, or maybe
01:20 your husband, and ask them if they see areas of
01:24 pride in your life.
01:26 Proverbs, Proverbs 27:17.
01:33 As iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the
01:37 countenance of his friend.
01:40 So be willing to be vulnerable.
01:43 Be willing to go to someone that you trust,
01:45 someone that you know is Godly, who can speak into your life,
01:50 and say, Jill, you've got pride going on.
01:53 Go back to God and ask for forgiveness.
01:57 3. Behold Jesus. Spend time in His Word.
02:01 That's the best way to get to know Him.
02:04 Spend time in prayer.
02:06 And finally, ask God to put a check in your spirit before you
02:10 speak, to kind of prompt you.
02:12 Woops! That's about ready to be a boastful comment that's almost
02:16 going to slip out.
02:18 Just ask Him to prompt you when you're about ready to say
02:22 something that might be boastful.
02:25 Next week we're going to discuss the critical heart,
02:29 the critical spirit.
02:31 You won't want to miss that program.
02:34 Finally, our Scripture verse, as we always like to use at the end
02:39 of each program is Romans 15:13.
02:44 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
02:48 in believing, that you may abound in hope,
02:51 by the power of the Holy Spirit.
