We all must come to the end of us to be effective in this season.  Pride is the darkest of all places because it is the Adam spirit to elevate ourselves to compete against God. That's a bad idea, the wrong spirit. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is being filled with the light of truth, His holy Word. Then we have the right distinction and direction to be as Jesus is in this world. Forward is the freedom to live Jesus's light that breaks every bond to be an eternal excellence right here, right now.
