Witnessing Closed Cell


Speaker: Assistant Pastor Carlos Gonzalez


• We have to come against pride and deception and the strongholds associated with pride.
• We must pray with the authority of Jesus.
• We must take authority and loose the spirit of pride, deception, and its strongholds.
• When you are praying for someone, you should pray, “By the authority of Jesus, I loose that spirit of pride and I bind their will to the will of God.”
• We must derail the spirit of pride by our prayer, confession, and the Word of God.
• If you don’t break the spirit of pride, that person is going to live a defeated life.
• Everyone deals with pride. If anyone denies that fact, they are not telling the truth.
• Pride never goes away, it always comes back.
• Pride will block your blessings.
• Many great people have lost everything behind pride.
• We must work with our men/women regarding pride.

Cindy Trimm has written books on praying with authority and power, such as “The Art of War for Spiritual Battle.” Most people don’t pray with authority.

• When you are operating in pride, you cannot admit you are wrong.
• It is also difficult for a person operating in pride to forgive or ask for forgiveness.

Proverbs 16:18
18Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

• God is stressing that pride goes before destruction.
• We should never think that we can have a haughty spirit and not suffer destruction.

Isaiah 14:13-15
13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

• The devil is full of pride.
• We must share this message with passion.
