Integrity?
Integrity is doing the right thing,
even when no one is watching.

“Quality is for a
product what
character is to a
man.”
H.J. Heinz

Zig Ziglar
“With integrity, you
have nothing to fear,
since you have
nothing to hide. With
integrity, you will do
the right thing, so you
will have no guilt.”

Psalm 51:6
Behold, You desire truth in the inward
parts, and in the hidden part You will
make me to know wisdom.

Oswald Chambers
We are only what we are in the dark; all the rest is
reputation. What God looks at is what we are in the
dark—the imaginations of our minds; the thoughts of
our heart; the habits of our bodies; these are the
things that mark us in God’s sight.

“Crises reveal character. When we are put to
the test the hidden resources of our character
are revealed exactly.”

The higher you go up a mountain of influence,
the greater the level of spiritual warfare.

Sometimes your talent takes you beyond
where your integrity can keep you.
The greater the success,
the greater the integrity test.

Satan’s 4 Ps
For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the
world. 1 John 2:16-18
Performance

Passion Possess Position
Flesh eyes pride of life
Sexual Must own things Be seen by man.
Poser.
Satan has no new tricks. These have worked for centuries

If you have not gained a victory over
Satan’s traps of performance, passion,
position, and possessions before you are
elevated you will be easy pray.

6 Things God hates
These six things the Lord hates,
yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look,
A lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that are swift in running to evil,
a false witness who speaks lies,
and one who sows discord among brethren.
Proverbs 6:16-19

Pride
Doing what you want to do
regardless of what God or the law
commands.
Pride is often the forerunner to integrity issues

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of
this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind.

Romans 12:2 (MSG)
Don’t become so well–adjusted to your culture that
you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your
attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside
out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and
quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you,
always dragging you down to its level of immaturity,
God brings the best out of you, develops well–
formed maturity in you.

Compromise always
leads to deceit.
"Because they received not the love of the truth, that
they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send
them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie."
(2 Thessalonians 2:10-11)

What you uncover,
God covers.
What you cover,
God uncovers
through humiliation.

And He gave them their request,
But sent leanness into their soul. Ps 106:15
When we live in compromise we lose
confidence in the faith dimension of our lives.
We struggle to hear the voice of God which
forces us to live our Christian life through
performance and the flesh.

1. Dignity

3. Blessing & provision
4. Security
5. Purpose & meaning
6. Freedom & boundary
7. Intimate love & Companionship -
Genesis 1&2

Whenever we seek to meet one or more of
these basic needs outside God we have
set the stage for the development of a
generational stronghold.
Satan convinced Eve to believe God was
holding out on her, and He would not meet her
needs so she chose to meet her own need.

our behavior once we know the

Psalm 15, The Integrity Psalm - David
Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?
Who may dwell in Your holy hill?
He who walks uprightly,
And works righteousness,
And speaks the truth in his heart;
He who does not backbite with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
76

Psalm 15
Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;
In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the Lord;
He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
He who does not put out his money at usury,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be moved.
