I boast of the authority the Lord shines through us for building you up

Have Pride In The Lord

For though I might take pride in our authority which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction, it will not be a cause of shame to me.
But whoever has a desire for glory, let his glory be in the Lord.
2 Corinthians 10:8,17

We live in the flesh, but we do not fight in the flesh. 1)2Co 10:3 For though we may be living in the flesh, we are not fighting after the way of the flesh 2)2Ti 2:3 Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus. 3)2Ti 2:4 A fighting man, when he is with the army, keeps himself free from the business of this life so that he may be pleasing to him who has taken him into his army.
Because the weapons of our warfare are mighty through God. 4)2Co 10:4 For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places 5)Zec 4:6 This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by force or by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of armies. 6)Eph 6:13 For this reason take up all the arms of God, so that you may be able to be strong in the evil day, and, having done all, to keep your place.
Eph 6:14 Take your place, then, having your body clothed with the true word, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 Be ready with the good news of peace as shoes on your feet;
Eph 6:16 And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.
Eph 6:17 And take salvation for your head-dress and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Eph 6:18 With prayers and deep desires, making requests at all times in the Spirit, and keeping watch, with strong purpose, in prayer for all the saints,
Eph 6:19 And for me, that words may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make clear without fear the secret of the good news

Ending all discussions and all things that are against the revelation of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. 7)2Co 10:5 Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ 8)Isa 55:7 Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him. 9)Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.
And I Boast of the authority the Lord shines through us for building you up. 10)2Co 10:8 For though I might take pride in our authority which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction, it will not be a cause of shame to me 11)2Co 1:24 Not that we have authority over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy: for it is faith which is your support. 12)Gal 1:1 Paul, an Apostle not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead
So our boast and our pride, if any, is in The Lord! 13)2Co 10:17 But whoever has a desire for glory, let his glory be in the Lord. 14)1Co 1:29 So that no flesh might have glory before God. 15)1Co 1:31 So that, as it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has a desire for glory, let his glory be in the Lord. 16)Psa 105:3 Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad. 17)Jer 9:23 This is the word of the Lord: Let not the wise man take pride in his wisdom, or the strong man in his strength, or the man of wealth in his wealth: 18)Jer 9:24 But if any man has pride, let it be in this, that he has the wisdom to have knowledge of me, that I am the Lord, working mercy, giving true decisions, and doing righteousness in the earth: for in these things I have delight, says the Lord.
It is his approval and his opinion that strengthens us. 19)2Co 10:18 For the Lord’s approval of a man is not dependent on his opinion of himself, but on the Lord’s opinion of him. 20)Luk 16:15 And he said, You take care to seem right in the eyes of men, but God sees your hearts: and those things which are important in the opinion of men, are evil in the eyes of God. 21)Luk 18:10 Two men went up to the Temple for prayer; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-farmer.
Luk 18:11 The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.
Luk 18:12 Twice in the week I go without food; I give a tenth of all I have.
Luk 18:13 The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Luk 18:14 I say to you, This man went back to his house with God’s approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.
22)Joh 5:42 But I have knowledge of you that you have no love for God in your hearts.
Joh 5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and your hearts are not open to me. If another comes with no other authority but himself, you will give him your approval.
Joh 5:44 How is it possible for you to have faith while you take honour one from another and have no desire for the honour which comes from the only God?
23)Joh 12:43 For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God. 24)1Co 4:5 For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.
