I Timothy 3:2, 6
An overseer, then, must be above reproach..., and not a new convert, lest he become conceited and
fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil.

If man ascends before he bends (before God) it will be his undoing. Satan sought to ascend, only to
find himself being cast down.

Isaiah 14:12
How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down
to the earth...

Luke 10:18
And [Yahshua] said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.”

The Son of God gave some salient counsel to His disciples.

Luke 14:7-11
And He began speaking a parable to the invited guests when He noticed how they had been picking
out the places of honor at the table; saying to them, “When you are invited by someone to a wedding
feast, do not take the place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you may have been
invited by him, and he who invited you both shall come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and
then in disgrace you proceed to occupy the last place. But when you are invited, go and recline at the
last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up
higher’; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are at the table with you. For everyone who
exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.”

The Spirit of Christ does not grasp for honor. The Son of God emptied Himself of the glory He had
in heaven and took on the form of a bondservant. He washed His disciples feet. He was a servant to
God and man. He submitted to being numbered among the transgressors. Because of His lowliness
and selflessness, Yahshua was rightfully promoted to take His seat at the right hand of His Father
in heaven and He has been given Him a name which is above every name.

We see a very different history in the life of Satan and in the history of NASA. Christ descended
from heaven to Earth, but those manifesting the spirit of Satan seek to ascend from the Earth to the
highest heavens. What they cannot actually accomplish, they will boast of doing.
