We don't even know that we are proud. We don't even know that we are covetous. We don't even know that we are following the way of the unrighteousness of our day. God has let us know that a kingdom is condemned when there are "many princes". Many little princes and princesses who think that they are God's precious gift to the world.
You are precious, dear children. I love you very much, dear ones; but most certainly know that the privilege of poverty and the privilege of suffering with little is to cause you to see yourself and in need and to be that kind of salt in the generation that God has caused you to be an influence in.
The world and this family unit does not revolve around you.
These are the things that "Destroy kings". If you are not given to those things, don't glory in that. Thank God that the privilege of sharing and the privilege of learning to humble yourself in poverty has gleaned that character in your soul. None will see the kingdom of God who cannot see the reality of themselves in the light of the word of God.
What destroyed King Saul? What destroyed Jereboam? What destroyed Nero? What destroyed Ceasar? What destroyed the Pharoahs? The same will destroy the name of Walker off of the face of the earth, if you don't learn from these things. To whom much is given, much is required and they who sin against light are judged more severely.
Beware of the covetous culture that we are rearing you in. Beware of the proud culture of the world around you. Beware of the deception of pride.
A broken arm is minor compared to a deceived soul. Let us stay low and on the ground in our own sight that we would not break the arms or the "neck" of our souls by the pride which blinds us to God and his salvation.
Help us Lord to glorify you with what we have and don't have.
