or trust what the LORD has shown/given them.

Should partakers of the divine nature become so puffed
up with pride that they lose sight of who they are and
where they have come from? GOD forbid!!!!
Don't think you have pride? We all have pride. Pride comes
in many forms and waits to take hold. Pride likes to be
the controller. Pride does remove GOD from the drivers seat
and says 'I' can do better!!!
PRIDE
is a great self-deceiver that can hinder one's
mission in CHRIST.
The Godly mission is never about 'self', nor will it ever
be about 'self'!
II Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
3: 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of GOD;
'New Age' and 'Universalism' is a false teaching
that offers false hope. Leading individuals to rely
and focus on 'self'. Having no need for GOD's help!
