In the Teaching I present from the Word of God (Holy Bible), I talk about a look of sinful pride (condescension). It is important to understand that a look of intensity or one of assuredness regarding what a minister is saying, is not the same thing. A "prideful look"; one of seven things God calls "an abomination" - Proverbs 6:16-19, is not the same as a look of confidence in the Holy Scriptures. A look of extreme self-pridefulness is one that says, "look at me" and is in contrast with a look that says, "look at what God has done"!
I will copy/paste from two scriptures below (not quoted in this video), that expound on one fact I touch on, that states Jesus will rule the earth in his Millennial kingdom (1000-year reign), with "a rod of iron". Should this not admonish our hearts to be humble servants in ministering His Word today? These scriptures following, are from the King James Version of the Holy Bible. - - -
Psalm 2: 7-12 - - - -
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them WITH A ROD OF IRON; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Revelation 2:25-27 - - - -
But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them WITH A ROD OF IRON; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

I am a graduate of Liberty University (1996) for completion of theological studies (33 college credits) and I completed "Bible Survey" with Assemblies of God - Berean College. I consider myself a "Bapticostal" (a Baptist also having Pentecostal beliefs). Bible studies are one of my most-covered book subjects. I am however, careful to only address those subjects I believe God has given me correct revelation on. I was a Christian Youth Minister, beginning in 1983 for approximately 18 years. During, between and after youth ministries I served in other church capacities as well, including interim pastoring and retirement home ministry. MOST IMPOTANTLY, I am a redeemed man, who has received salvation by acceptance of Jesus Christ (John 3:16) and what he did for me in shedding his blood and dying for me on the cross, and in his resurrection from the dead, giving me the promise of eternal life, purely by grace; not due to anything I have done, other than to accept it freely. God does however, call us to "good works" as Christians - Ephesians 2:10.
