my human pride

As a human, I desire GLORY but, I will not be a fool.
I WILL TELL HIS TRUTH.
I will bear this so that no man thinks more of me;
by what I do or by what I say.

GOD allows a messenger/spirit of satan to " check/tempt " me
so that I don't get too " big-headed " (stay concious of my humaness)
in all the REVELATIONS GOD GIVES me.
In my humaness, I might take all these REVELATIONS
and reveal them as my knowledge.

I PRAYED to my GOD about this messenger from satan
and for GOD to take it away.
ALL KNOWING GOD KNOWS, that in my humaness,
I might, just, build/exalt myself too much
so,
HE SAID,
" MY GRACE IS ALL you NEED.
In your KNOWING your humaness,
MY GODLINESS WILL BE PROMINENT/STRONG, through you. "

In this understanding, I GLADLY GLORY in
my afflictions,
in criticism,
in my human needs,
in accusations against me,
and in my anxieties
so that the POWER of MESSIAH,
HIS BODY INDWELLED by HIS SPIRIT,
is all HIS PEOPLE SEE.

In this weakness, HE IS/I AM STRONG.

Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory,
but in mine infirmities.
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool;
for I will say the truth:
but now I forbear,
lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be,
or that he heareth of me.

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.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice,
that it might depart from me.
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.
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.
2COR 12:5-10
