pride will devastate the grace of humility as it did with the Devil. 1 Timothy 3:6

4. The parasite of
unbelief will keep down the grace of faith as is seen in the children of Israel. Hebrews 3:17-19

5. The parasite of
self-importance will kill the grace of self-denial as is stated of Diotrephes. 3 John 9

6. The parasite of
avarice will stifle the grace of reality as is evidenced in Achan. Joshua 7:21

7. The parasite of
covetousness will strangle the grace of generosity as is manifest in Balaam. 2 Peter 2:15
