“The self righteous person is frustrated and insecure that they cannot measure up to God’s standards, and there is a deep feeling of shame there, but instead of looking towards humility, pride makes them compare themselves to other human beings so they can feel good about themselves” My goodness, it’s an on time word
What Jackie is talking about is very true. Too many Christians just use the Bible to rebuke others and nothing else. While we’re supposed to correct each other in love, we’re also supposed to help educate others to help them to get a better understanding of who Jesus is and what he expects from us. We need to move in love more, not just always pointing out other peoples flaws.
*My womb was closed for 6 years and I couldn’t have a baby. Doctors couldn’t figure it out and nothing I tried helped. Through faith and prayer, I was healed! I now have 4 beautiful children, my first being a set of twins! They are now older and honoring God with their lives and bringing people to Christ! God can do it!!*
Romans 12:3 "Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us." The title just reminded me of this scripture 😭
This episode has provided so much freedom for me, but more than that, it has shown me something in my heart that is quite distasteful to the Father. Through your obedience, with this episode, I now can work on seeing through clearer lenses of the Father’s love and grace for us all. I’m starting to see what true love actually is and I’m excited to practice treating others more like how God treats me. I am humbled and I repent. Create in me a clean heart, oh God, and renew within me a right spirit. I just want to be more like Him. Thank you Jackie and Preston and may the Lord bless you.
I’m not gonna lie, Preston’s explanation of ppl thinking that God only deals with us because of Jesus and doesn’t really like us is exactly how I’ve been viewing Him.
If your parents treated you like that, it makes sense. My mom told me when I was 16 she said I love you but I don't like you and I honestly have never recovered from it
This topic is actually so freeing. God is in control of other people’s righteousness and He’s in control of mine too. Comparing myself to Jesus instead of other believers, like you said, is something that will keep me from being stagnant and frees me from feeling like I have to fix anyone. Insane timing…Thank y’all for this!!! 🔥
I repent for not showing grace, and mercy to myself and others. For being self righteous and thinking of myself as better than others. I don’t believe I did these things intentionally all the time, but as I listen to how they are explaining things, I am definitely guilty of doing this.
Jackie " I think those who struggle with it the most, are people who are gifted to see. " " God doesn't show you things to judge, but God shows you things so you can intercede." Jackie can understand this because she has a great gift of discernment and this is facts. I remember a prophet coming to me to tell me I had a gift of prophecy. Without saying all she told me, one thing she did say was "because you have this gift, you will often find fault in others. Realize that just because you can see things in others, doesn't mean they are bad people. You also have things about yourself that are not right, just like them." I understand what Preston and Jackie are both sayin. I see their ministry and calling through their particular way of teaching. Sometimes I find confliction with some of the podcast I have followed. Because there's a fine line with exposing the works of the enemy vs putting yourself in a position that sits as judge and jury of others and cultivates a environment of condemning. The more I travel on this journey with God, I realize how much I need Him. We all are at his mercy, and as the old folks use to say (Had it not been for the Lord who is on my side....there goes I)
Preston and Jackie are a gift from God. Today I realized I was self-righteous because as a person gifted with teaching the Word I discern what's wrong and that led me to judge and not intercede, I felt that because they were incorrect I had to teach and thus the teaching came from condemnation, and not compassion. But after hearing this I gained the confidence to repent so I can be an effective teacher and ambassador of Christ, one who can mirror Christ and seek God to help not believe because I saw I have to correct yet my words cannot save or change, so I have to ask Him who can do it.
I have to stop listening to y'all at work because I'm fighting back tears, ugh! Remembering to have grace for my husband today AND sitting in the knowledge that God loves AND likes me, and He really does care about what I'm going through. This episode freed my heart in so many ways, thank you ❤
Today in church the sermon was about zackeus the tax collector. The take-away is that though the crowd saw him as a sinner, Jesus saw it fit to invite himself into his home and when he did enter his home, Zackeus was convicted by the spirit and repentant of his ways. The point of this is, it's not our job as the church to turn our brother and sister from sin. Our job as the body is to bring Christ into people's lives, to preach the gospel. The gospel in itself is sufficient enough to turn a man's heart from evil. We as the church should stop trying to do the role of God in our walk with Christ and remember that it's not for the sheep to look for the lost sheep, it's for the Shepherd. I hope this work encourages somebody today
Soooo guilty of self righteousness 🤦🏾♀️… soooo glad I’ve been delivered. Learning more about God’s character exposed my lack of character! A good read for me was “Diary of a Confused Christian” by Nai B Wise
I rarely comment on ppl I don’t know, but I’ve been listening to you guys for years. This episode was in my view one of the best ones you’ve done! It’s a huge tension navigating when you’re being self righteous and when you need to correct your friends. I can also see how in the beginning of my Christian journey I was way too self righteous and then became very passive 😂 only to slowly trying to navigate to centralise it with the Holy Spirit 😅. Thank you for blessing the Christian community by letting us in to your conversations and allowing God to move to move through you. ❤ me and my husband really appreciate you.
This was so edifying, also I have learnt that the lack of fruit is the reason of self righteous the need to prove that you have fruit by being overly critical it's also a projection sometimes what we struggle with we call out most
I’m literally reading and meditating on Romans right now (for the past week or so) and I asked for understanding. Jackie, you bringing up Romans 8 is such a blessing and I am so thankful to God for teachers like you and for giving me an explanation through you. I enjoy y’all’s podcast so much btw!
I have been on Romans for months too, Romans 8 is legit my favorite chapter in the Bible , I have read that chapter countlessly and funny thing is I am always so excited when I go back to it, Holy Spirit keeps showing me over and over again new revelations. Hallelujah 💃💃
I am dealing with this right now! I was all kinds of irritable. Thinking these people were of the world and they do have evidence of it but the Lord told me(in thought) that I'm to pray for them not judge them. Because i was in turmoil about it and kept praying to stop noticing because i know very well that im not perfect and have my own things i need grace for but I kept seeing and it kept being brought up in my mind so I began to bless them when it did come to mind to combat it then one day when I was exasperated about it I was given the thought that im noticing it because i need to pray for them for them to overcome. And to bless them. Thank you for this podcast it really gave me a better perspective and i will definitely talk to God about it and confess it
This conversation is something that has been on my heart for so long. I see so many people calling eachother out instead of teaching eachother it's insane. I appreciate this because you guys gave me some additional scriptures to support the empathy I had for the individuals being called out. We should be praying for the people we feel a need to call out. I know I am a very discerning person and like Jackie said sometimes that initiates that self righteousness within me that I dont always voice but I can acknowledge it being there. This is definetely something I will sit with God about to work on. Thank you guys for this!
Some people struggle with insecurity because of how they grew up. They grew up with no grace from parents. So now God is another authority figure in their life, they just reflect that.
As a new believer! This explained all the emotions i have been struggling with! I only started yesterday to say a prayer for the person anytime i feel “self righteous” , jealous, angry towards them! This was an on time message
My God in Zion! I had just told my husband that I don't know if I should pray like the people in the psalms, like Lord, give them what they deserve, or If I should be merciful and pray lord, don't reward them based on what they deserve. Then I watched this. Just step on my toes, why don't you! I had been telling more people about the mean boss lady, then praying for her. It's my last day on the job, and I was gonna pray her a piece of my mind! The Lord knows what you need right on time.
The Bible says examine yourself to see if you are in the faith. Looking around at everyone else is easier than to look within. I love how God encourages us to pay attention to our own backyard, so many scriptures. There is a scripture that speaks about a persons garden or vinyard being grown over with thorns and weeds because they are in spiritual slumber. Great topic!
A pathway to maturity....so true!...you start off with a passion and that keeps you on fire and feeling above the rest. So yes, pride is there when you first come to Christ.
Yo! When Preston is teaching sometimes I be holding my breathe like 😬👀 where’s he going with thisss!!?? Then when he lands I be like 😮🔥😧🔥👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 faaaccctttssss!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😂😂 I love it! He is the epitome of “let me cook” In thee best way possible!
Awwww man our lord humbled us! I was so self-righteous towards my husband because I was reading the word. I was worshipping God day and night. I was fasting! Doing all the works. While my husband having his Jesus time but not like I was! I had a head count of people I had to talk to and prophecy too. All it was I, I, I! Not Jesus is my love and I am NOTHING WITHOUT HIM! And one faithful day I needed grace and mercy! And the lord showed me Amarri your works are dirty rags to me. Love is what covers many sins. And the person who I judged my husband the lord used him to build up my Spirit in him! I now run from self righteousness for it’s nothing in me that is righteous! I am only righteous because Christ lives in me! Powerful word Perry’s love y’all ❤
This is such an amazing eye opener. I am grateful for the msg that this has reminding us to look to Christ as our standard by Whom we measure all things. I appreciated hearing that people with prophetic gifts or gifts to see can be tempted towards self righteousness and hardened hearts. And Preston’s humility and sharing in the ways he felt in his first year of marriage and the way he self medicated with the blog really is freeing and eye opening for me. The spec in my eye has been identified by the way you all examined your own in front of us . Thank you.
I have listened to this a total of 3 times and each time I gain more , this has set me free, I continue to ask GOD to uproot things out of me , self righteousness being one, amongst other things Thank you thank you and thank you so so much for this I’ve shared this with so many people and I hope it helps them as much as it helps me
This is so good! I have just turned to shame when sin was exposed! “God knows that our vision of Him plays a part in our ability to handle what He shows us about ourselves.” What a gracious Father! Thank you Perry’s!
Could not relate more to what Jackie shared about her season of self righteousness. I experienced this while I was in my old church - very legalistic, cultish, minimal grace. Every sermon was a rebuke. I am grateful to now understand that I need to repent of that sin that I was consistently engaging in while there. Thank you Perrys for touching on this subject ❤
This ONE! Fire yall!!!! Needed to hear this about interceding instead of judging! LORD!!!!!!!! then this: If God showed us all of our sin, all at once, we would be crushed! So in Gods patience, He actually reveals the degrees of our sin over time. That’s why the closer we get to God, the more we see our selves! (we feel worse right lol-we talked about this) This should help me have more patience with people because that means I have levels of pride in ME that I haven’t even seen yet! Because God is being patient!!
I think this is only the second time I’ve ever heard someone say God actually LIKES us. I clearly remember the first time- I really had to fight the tears. I can’t explain it, but it was a combo of aha, relief, this is what I been missing, and sorrow that I’d never heard it before. This reminded me…
This episode makes me want to cry😭 i feel like i want to love God so so much i say i do and i feel i do but i just feel like my actions show differently. It’s hard .. such a everyday fight
This is the single most powerful podcast I’ve ever listened to. I grew up in church and my walk with God is good and He has given me powerful discernment and this has helped me understand the purpose of it. Truly the Holy Spirit brought me to my knees in repentance through your words and I’m so grateful. You both know Jesus and the Word so well and are stewarding your platform faithfully and I am so grateful for it. God bless you.
I listened to this podcast, and Heard God. Both of you were the vessels sitting in front of the camera but the Spirit of the Lord was speaking the whole entire time ❤️🔥Thank you both got your Obedience!
So much holy conviction. I really relate to Preston talking about how self-righteousness, pride, and insecurity all stem from the same place inside. I know that I tend to have really crappy self-esteem and self-worth, I’m also super judgmental. And it’s all because, like Jackie said, there’s no grace. I’m measuring myself with the same stick I’m measuring others when in reality, we’re all in the same depraved soup and anything holy is because of the Lord. But if I focus so much on all the parts we’re all getting wrong and think God is only tolerating us, then I miss out on all the GOOD things that my restored relationship with God brings and that I’m actually beloved of God and He likes me! Going to sit with this, pray with this, rewatch this, absorb this. Thank you for this message.
“God also knows that our vision of Him plays a part in our ability to handle what He shows us about ourselves.” -Jackie Hill Perry Wow that was SO GOOD!!!! 😭 Going into marriage I didn’t see a lot about myself. But through His loving grace, I always tell people, He has shown me things slowly & would lovingly tell me “This isn’t going to work in marriage & I need you to allow Me to help you change that about yourself.” 😭😭😭 And every time it felt like He felt as though, “Ok good, you’re getting better at that. Keep working on it.” He would lovingly go on to show me something else He wanted me to work on. I’m so glad to say, my marriage isn’t where it used to be. Not that I was the only problem, but I had to stop solely focusing on my husband’s flaws as if I did nothing wrong ever & also look at myself.
The way Jackie at 14:08 read my spirit and what God is allowing me to repent of 😢❤ I asked God to reveal the things I've come into agreement with in my heart that are not of Him...whew...I'm thankful though ❤
This was highly anointed and on time. I must repent from being self Righteous towards my husband. In our time of marriage difficulties and trauma I became self righteous. This showed me my sin. And I asked him for forgiveness And prayed to the Father Lord for forgiveness and continued sanctification . Amen 🙏🏾
Wow! This conversation was so needed and necessary. Thank you both for always allowing yourselves to be vessels for the world to learn about Jesus in a safe and healthy. Thank you for edifying the body! Jesus is King 🙌🏼
OHBASHA!!!! Dang gon it, we appreciate The Perry’s. This is so why I love y’all. My goodness this just helped me. I was so upset at something I saw from someone I followed and admired in the faith. Sympathize and pray for the self righteous. Glory! I needed this
This is so good! I have definitely walked through a season of self-righteousness. I agree that it happens to most of us in our early days of salvation. However, we must continually guard against it. The Holy Spirit will convict us. We just need to pay attention and catch ourselves and pray!
I just want to say thank you both so much for putting this episode together. I was scared to watch it because of the difficult season I'm currently in, but you guys handled it with so much honesty, grace, humilty, and transparency. It refreshed my spirit in a way that I really needed right now. Thank you two so much.
This was so good. I am dealing with self-righteousness in my own life and it’s been hard but this video is comforting because I don’t have to stay stuck in the shame and condemnation I’ve been experiencing.
Much needed conversation, I have been struggling with what to do with what I see in others AND in myself, it is not easy to find mercy on others when you cannot find it for yourself. I do believe that doubt and unbelief are at the root. Because if we trusted in God's love not just from our intellect but from a deeper place in our heart, we could give what we have received. Luke 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. God loved us while we were YET, sinners. It is so very challenging to wait until we grow and mature before we are ready to give others and ourselves grace, the shame and humiliation is so excruciating! Lord help me to accept my flaws, knowing that it is your business to transform them and help me see myself through your lens of Blood-Love. In Jesus Name.
I needed this today - I have been so incredibly self-righteous in the way I deal with my children. Praying for the power of the Holy Spirit to move in me with them because the self-righteousness, anger, and pride in me towards them has been all-consuming and I need more Grace, Mercy and Love.
The Lord is so good. I have been more and more aware of my own self - righteous tendencies and I keep asking God "How do I fix this? What steps can I take to truly humble myself?" This video has come at the perfect time and it's so comforting to know that a lot of us struggle with this and that even in that struggle the Lord is still working and helping us to be better. Like Jackie stated, when I became born again I was very zealous but I was lacking the maturity and knowledge which led to self-righteous tendencies that I'm still dealing with a year later. There are so many good takeaways from this video that give me hope in the Lord that things will change, thank you!
It’s all about your heart posture! When you correct/use your judgement, what is the root for why you’re doing it?! To belittle or edify, we have the power to choose what that root is.
Preston 👏👏👏 God is too big and too deep to act like you know him better than other people. This is something God is really putting on my heart lately. There is disunity in the body of Christ because of these self righteous ways of being. Also, Jackie, I grew up in the IFB and was a total self righteous jerk. I'm thankful God changed my heart and continues to reform it.
I keep shouting Amen to Romans 8, this week the Holy Spirit brought it to mind during a minute of self-loathing. I started to meditate on my liberty in Christ and that verse came to mind. The word of the Lord is powerful.
This topic of Self righteousness makes me think of the Pharisees and the Scribes in the Bible. They stayed trying to correct Jesus on the things him and his disciples did. Even Jesus had to call them out in Mark 7 speaking about their hearts of man-kind. And so many more times he called them out. This is why I try to meet ppl where they at and not to judge cause I’m not God.
When I say I open my phone and this message pops up. 😮only God knows. I am going through this exact situation with my children. I have 3 - 2 thinks they are perfect - in school, flaunts biblical knowledge and the rest. One needs me. Humbly as he is aware of his past behaviour and is making changes but criticism from his sisters are trying to stifle him. Pray, pray, pray. Thank you guys
Eyyyyy God bless y’all thank you for all you do for the kingdom🤧😭✨ reaching hearts & it’s because of the Holy Spirit within you working and I speak from experience and how much these videos impacted me ✨🤌The Lord really chose these saints for a time as such. Shalom 🤍
When Preston was speaking about his experience about criticism, I thought of Candance Owen's platform. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 We all have self-righteous, and we need to be very careful with it. Thank you God for allowing us to see the truth within ourselves. ❤
Preston just confirmed so much for me!!! I've been thinking for months that GOD is to vast and big for us to believe we know him better then someone else. I believe a lot of times, the heresy hunters are people who deem their preferences as LAW and leave no room for different expressions of the gospel.
This is such a good pot. I have found myself praying this prayer, “Father, reveal me to myself and give me the grace to handle what I see about myself.”
One of my favorite podcast session! I pray and hope that such message of grace, the glory of the gospel, the righteous that I am bestowed as opposed to one that I endlessly try to achieve as a Christian, is proclaimed more in Korea!
Jackie you remind me so much of Swoope's mom. She was first my youth pastor before she got married to Allen's dad, and then later was our Senior pastor! What a blessing you have been to my Bible comprehension 🙏🏾
“God shows you things in others not to judge them but to intercede for them”
I love this ❤
Yes, our flesh will lead us to take on the role of Judge, while ignoring our call to be an Intercessor.
Amen! ❤
Oh yes. This is really touched me.
Amen! I need to be reminded of that!! Amen JESUS! ☝🏽✝️🙏🏽
“The self righteous person is frustrated and insecure that they cannot measure up to God’s standards, and there is a deep feeling of shame there, but instead of looking towards humility, pride makes them compare themselves to other human beings so they can feel good about themselves”
My goodness, it’s an on time word
I feel called out.
Subscribed.
“God wants to be explained more than he wants people called out”👏🏽👏🏽
My goodness @shmeikahall4809 perfectly said!
THE CLOSER YOU GET TO GOD THE MORE YOU SEE YOURSELF!!! MY GOD IN ZION!!! WHEW!!!
Amen
Right!! She said it and I said 😧!
This is soooo true!
What Jackie is talking about is very true. Too many Christians just use the Bible to rebuke others and nothing else. While we’re supposed to correct each other in love, we’re also supposed to help educate others to help them to get a better understanding of who Jesus is and what he expects from us. We need to move in love more, not just always pointing out other peoples flaws.
This!
Wheww!!! So Good!

Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing ❤❤. Stirred up my faith 😊
Preston is right about how some of us move like we don’t need God. God always reminds us of who’s in charge though.
he had some very good points
Galatians 3:3
Right!!!! He said we Christians be like atheists sometimes I was like 😮 op! But yepppp it’s truth
Romans 12:3
"Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us."
The title just reminded me of this scripture 😭
"God doesn't show you things so you can judge, He shows you things so you can intercede."
❤❤❤
God doesn’t show you things so you can judge, but so you can intercede. Very good word.
The intro is so unhinged 😂😂

I’m not gonna lie, Preston’s explanation of ppl thinking that God only deals with us because of Jesus and doesn’t really like us is exactly how I’ve been viewing Him.
You should read the Bible for yourself, because it says God loved us first.
@@user-zz4vi1xv6zyou’re being self righteous lol that isn’t what he was saying
Yeah If God didn’t love Us. He wouldn’t have sent Jesus.
😢oh my brother, God loves you so much! That’s why He sent Jesus! I’m so glad you now have clarity. His love for you is boundless!!!
If your parents treated you like that, it makes sense. My mom told me when I was 16 she said I love you but I don't like you and I honestly have never recovered from it

My brother Preston nailed that thing... insecurity + pride = self-righteousness. That was me.

This conversation is something that has been on my heart for so long. I see so many people calling eachother out instead of teaching eachother it's insane. I appreciate this because you guys gave me some additional scriptures to support the empathy I had for the individuals being called out. We should be praying for the people we feel a need to call out. I know I am a very discerning person and like Jackie said sometimes that initiates that self righteousness within me that I dont always voice but I can acknowledge it being there. This is definetely something I will sit with God about to work on. Thank you guys for this!
Some people struggle with insecurity because of how they grew up. They grew up with no grace from parents. So now God is another authority figure in their life, they just reflect that.
This is 100% FACTS!!!
Same 😫
As a new believer! This explained all the emotions i have been struggling with! I only started yesterday to say a prayer for the person anytime i feel “self righteous” , jealous, angry towards them! This was an on time message
Welcome home!!
My God in Zion! I had just told my husband that I don't know if I should pray like the people in the psalms, like Lord, give them what they deserve, or If I should be merciful and pray lord, don't reward them based on what they deserve. Then I watched this. Just step on my toes, why don't you! I had been telling more people about the mean boss lady, then praying for her. It's my last day on the job, and I was gonna pray her a piece of my mind! The Lord knows what you need right on time.
The Bible says examine yourself to see if you are in the faith. Looking around at everyone else is easier than to look within. I love how God encourages us to pay attention to our own backyard, so many scriptures. There is a scripture that speaks about a persons garden or vinyard being grown over with thorns and weeds because they are in spiritual slumber. Great topic!
Shout out! Soweto! Yess! Jackie🙌🏾 Love from South Africa🇿🇦
Yaayy!! I had to rewind because I thought I didn't hear correctly. We love The Perrys in South Africa!!
Loved that part!!! 😅
Hallla from South Africa 🇿🇦
A pathway to maturity....so true!...you start off with a passion and that keeps you on fire and feeling above the rest. So yes, pride is there when you first come to Christ.
14:33 I had to pause this and repent for all of the times I was being self righteous and did not know it. Very thankful for this word!
Yo! When Preston is teaching sometimes I be holding my breathe like 😬👀 where’s he going with thisss!!?? Then when he lands I be like 😮🔥😧🔥👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 faaaccctttssss!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😂😂 I love it!
He is the epitome of “let me cook”
In thee best way possible!
Awwww man our lord humbled us! I was so self-righteous towards my husband because I was reading the word. I was worshipping God day and night. I was fasting! Doing all the works. While my husband having his Jesus time but not like I was! I had a head count of people I had to talk to and prophecy too. All it was I, I, I! Not Jesus is my love and I am NOTHING WITHOUT HIM!
And one faithful day I needed grace and mercy! And the lord showed me Amarri your works are dirty rags to me. Love is what covers many sins. And the person who I judged my husband the lord used him to build up my Spirit in him! I now run from self righteousness for it’s nothing in me that is righteous! I am only righteous because Christ lives in me!
Powerful word Perry’s love y’all ❤
This is such an amazing eye opener. I am grateful for the msg that this has reminding us to look to Christ as our standard by Whom we measure all things. I appreciated hearing that people with prophetic gifts or gifts to see can be tempted towards self righteousness and hardened hearts. And Preston’s humility and sharing in the ways he felt in his first year of marriage and the way he self medicated with the blog really is freeing and eye opening for me. The spec in my eye has been identified by the way you all examined your own in front of us . Thank you.
I have listened to this a total of 3 times and each time I gain more , this has set me free, I continue to ask GOD to uproot things out of me , self righteousness being one, amongst other things
Thank you thank you and thank you so so much for this
I’ve shared this with so many people and I hope it helps them as much as it helps me
This is so good!
I have just turned to shame when sin was exposed!
“God knows that our vision of Him plays a part in our ability to handle what He shows us about ourselves.” What a gracious Father!
Thank you Perry’s!
God actually likes me and doesn’t just tolerate me.. 😩 that really hit hard.
Could not relate more to what Jackie shared about her season of self righteousness. I experienced this while I was in my old church - very legalistic, cultish, minimal grace. Every sermon was a rebuke. I am grateful to now understand that I need to repent of that sin that I was consistently engaging in while there. Thank you Perrys for touching on this subject ❤
This ONE! Fire yall!!!! Needed to hear this about interceding instead of judging! LORD!!!!!!!! then this: If God showed us all of our sin, all at once, we would be crushed!
So in Gods patience, He actually reveals the degrees of our sin over time.
That’s why the closer we get to God, the more we see our selves! (we feel worse right lol-we talked about this)
This should help me have more patience with people because that means I have levels of pride in ME that I haven’t even seen yet! Because God is being patient!!
I think this is only the second time I’ve ever heard someone say God actually LIKES us. I clearly remember the first time- I really had to fight the tears. I can’t explain it, but it was a combo of aha, relief, this is what I been missing, and sorrow that I’d never heard it before. This reminded me…
This is so true I'm asking God to let me see people like he does and not by the flesh
This episode makes me want to cry😭 i feel like i want to love God so so much i say i do and i feel i do but i just feel like my actions show differently. It’s hard .. such a everyday fight
This is the single most powerful podcast I’ve ever listened to. I grew up in church and my walk with God is good and He has given me powerful discernment and this has helped me understand the purpose of it. Truly the Holy Spirit brought me to my knees in repentance through your words and I’m so grateful. You both know Jesus and the Word so well and are stewarding your platform faithfully and I am so grateful for it. God bless you.
I listened to this podcast, and Heard God. Both of you were the vessels sitting in front of the camera but the Spirit of the Lord was speaking the whole entire time ❤️🔥Thank you both got your Obedience!
So much holy conviction. I really relate to Preston talking about how self-righteousness, pride, and insecurity all stem from the same place inside. I know that I tend to have really crappy self-esteem and self-worth, I’m also super judgmental. And it’s all because, like Jackie said, there’s no grace. I’m measuring myself with the same stick I’m measuring others when in reality, we’re all in the same depraved soup and anything holy is because of the Lord. But if I focus so much on all the parts we’re all getting wrong and think God is only tolerating us, then I miss out on all the GOOD things that my restored relationship with God brings and that I’m actually beloved of God and He likes me! Going to sit with this, pray with this, rewatch this, absorb this. Thank you for this message.
“God also knows that our vision of Him plays a part in our ability to handle what He shows us about ourselves.” -Jackie Hill Perry
Wow that was SO GOOD!!!! 😭 Going into marriage I didn’t see a lot about myself. But through His loving grace, I always tell people, He has shown me things slowly & would lovingly tell me “This isn’t going to work in marriage & I need you to allow Me to help you change that about yourself.” 😭😭😭 And every time it felt like He felt as though, “Ok good, you’re getting better at that. Keep working on it.” He would lovingly go on to show me something else He wanted me to work on. I’m so glad to say, my marriage isn’t where it used to be. Not that I was the only problem, but I had to stop solely focusing on my husband’s flaws as if I did nothing wrong ever & also look at myself.
This message hit me right in the face!!!! Thank You Lord for using these vessels to help me see. 🙏🏻❤️
The way Jackie at 14:08 read my spirit and what God is allowing me to repent of 😢❤ I asked God to reveal the things I've come into agreement with in my heart that are not of Him...whew...I'm thankful though ❤
This was wonderful. Points the finger back to ourselves.
This was highly anointed and on time. I must repent from being self Righteous towards my husband. In our time of marriage difficulties and trauma I became self righteous. This showed me my sin. And I asked him for forgiveness
And prayed to the Father Lord for forgiveness and continued sanctification . Amen 🙏🏾
Finding the beauty in others… you articulated what I search for in every encounter with people. 43:01
Wow! This conversation was so needed and necessary. Thank you both for always allowing yourselves to be vessels for the world to learn about Jesus in a safe and healthy. Thank you for edifying the body! Jesus is King 🙌🏼
OHBASHA!!!! Dang gon it, we appreciate The Perry’s. This is so why I love y’all. My goodness this just helped me. I was so upset at something I saw from someone I followed and admired in the faith. Sympathize and pray for the self righteous. Glory! I needed this
This is so good! I have definitely walked through a season of self-righteousness. I agree that it happens to most of us in our early days of salvation. However, we must continually guard against it. The Holy Spirit will convict us. We just need to pay attention and catch ourselves and pray!
I just want to say thank you both so much for putting this episode together. I was scared to watch it because of the difficult season I'm currently in, but you guys handled it with so much honesty, grace, humilty, and transparency. It refreshed my spirit in a way that I really needed right now. Thank you two so much.
This was so good. I am dealing with self-righteousness in my own life and it’s been hard but this video is comforting because I don’t have to stay stuck in the shame and condemnation I’ve been experiencing.
“Our vision of Him gives us the ability to handle what He shows us about ourselves.” 💯
19:46 “what if you spent more time explaining the gospel than you did correcting people?” Myyyyy God on today 🙌🏾
Much needed conversation, I have been struggling with what to do with what I see in others AND in myself, it is not easy to find mercy on others when you cannot find it for yourself. I do believe that doubt and unbelief are at the root. Because if we trusted in God's love not just from our intellect but from a deeper place in our heart, we could give what we have received. Luke 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. God loved us while we were YET, sinners. It is so very challenging to wait until we grow and mature before we are ready to give others and ourselves grace, the shame and humiliation is so excruciating! Lord help me to accept my flaws, knowing that it is your business to transform them and help me see myself through your lens of Blood-Love. In Jesus Name.
I needed this today - I have been so incredibly self-righteous in the way I deal with my children. Praying for the power of the Holy Spirit to move in me with them because the self-righteousness, anger, and pride in me towards them has been all-consuming and I need more Grace, Mercy and Love.
The Lord is so good. I have been more and more aware of my own self - righteous tendencies and I keep asking God "How do I fix this? What steps can I take to truly humble myself?" This video has come at the perfect time and it's so comforting to know that a lot of us struggle with this and that even in that struggle the Lord is still working and helping us to be better. Like Jackie stated, when I became born again I was very zealous but I was lacking the maturity and knowledge which led to self-righteous tendencies that I'm still dealing with a year later. There are so many good takeaways from this video that give me hope in the Lord that things will change, thank you!
It’s all about your heart posture! When you correct/use your judgement, what is the root for why you’re doing it?! To belittle or edify, we have the power to choose what that root is.
Preston 👏👏👏 God is too big and too deep to act like you know him better than other people.
This is something God is really putting on my heart lately. There is disunity in the body of Christ because of these self righteous ways of being.
Also, Jackie, I grew up in the IFB and was a total self righteous jerk. I'm thankful God changed my heart and continues to reform it.
I keep shouting Amen to Romans 8, this week the Holy Spirit brought it to mind during a minute of self-loathing. I started to meditate on my liberty in Christ and that verse came to mind. The word of the Lord is powerful.
This topic of Self righteousness makes me think of the Pharisees and the Scribes in the Bible. They stayed trying to correct Jesus on the things him and his disciples did. Even Jesus had to call them out in Mark 7 speaking about their hearts of man-kind. And so many more times he called them out. This is why I try to meet ppl where they at and not to judge cause I’m not God.
I appreciate this so much🙏🏽 I pray that more people will get to Listen to this session.
This is so good. Did know I was operating in self righteousness and that God gave me a gift of seeing. Thank you for your obedience.
My heart literally hurts while listening to this. Thank you for the conviction.
We need to be secure in the love of God ❤️
Thank you God and thank you Perry family!!
When I say I open my phone and this message pops up. 😮only God knows. I am going through this exact situation with my children. I have 3 - 2 thinks they are perfect - in school, flaunts biblical knowledge and the rest. One needs me. Humbly as he is aware of his past behaviour and is making changes but criticism from his sisters are trying to stifle him. Pray, pray, pray. Thank you guys
Eyyyyy God bless y’all thank you for all you do for the kingdom🤧😭✨ reaching hearts & it’s because of the Holy Spirit within you working and I speak from experience and how much these videos impacted me ✨🤌The Lord really chose these saints for a time as such. Shalom 🤍
Moved to compassion through prayer. I love this! ❤
When Preston was speaking about his experience about criticism, I thought of Candance Owen's platform. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 We all have self-righteous, and we need to be very careful with it. Thank you God for allowing us to see the truth within ourselves. ❤
I’m not done listening to this episode but I already know I will probably listen to it another 2 times. This is too good!
As a mom, I had to replay Jackie’s intro - hi c pouches, snacks , iPads . All the things…. Lol 😂
This is by far the best examples of self righteous behavior I should be praying and interceding continuously
We appreciate you guys being good disciples
Very needed!! Wow that part about those who deal with self righteousness may have gift of discernment etc… this perspective was eye opening 🙏🏾
Jackie!!!!!! 26:07 is my exact thoughts that I have fought with regarding self righteousness! This was a good convo y’all!
Preston just confirmed so much for me!!! I've been thinking for months that GOD is to vast and big for us to believe we know him better then someone else. I believe a lot of times, the heresy hunters are people who deem their preferences as LAW and leave no room for different expressions of the gospel.
2:04 😂😂😂😂😂😂I low key choked on spit laughing when you made the comment about not being put in one of those homes where they beat you lol
This is such a good pot. I have found myself praying this prayer, “Father, reveal me to myself and give me the grace to handle what I see about myself.”
I needed to hear this, thank you, and self righteousness is not always obvious and pain may be needed to reveal it
This video was on time. New believer here!
“There is something about the grace of god that gave sinners good gifts” affirm that. Thank you so much for this righteous rebuke.
One of my favorite podcast session! I pray and hope that such message of grace, the glory of the gospel, the righteous that I am bestowed as opposed to one that I endlessly try to achieve as a Christian, is proclaimed more in Korea!
Jackie you remind me so much of Swoope's mom. She was first my youth pastor before she got married to Allen's dad, and then later was our Senior pastor! What a blessing you have been to my Bible comprehension 🙏🏾
This is by far my fav podcast teaching. Help Me Lord❤️🔥🙌🏾
