Pharaoh, Balaam, Esther, Daniel, and Sennacherib are used to show that humility changes outcomes.

1. RLCSAC Sermon Podcast’s “Humility: Heaven's Antidote | Supernatural Leadership | Pastor Dean Deguara” links election-season pressure to a sermon about pride and humility. 2. Dean Deguara speaks as a pastor at Real Life Church, and Jasmine opens and closes the service with church announcements and prayer. 3. The episode asks what God is saying during an election season, and it frames humility as “heaven’s antidote” to pride. 4. Deguara distinguishes “abrasive pride” from “seductive pride,” calling the first harsh, insensitive, and haughty. 5. He ties abrasive pride to the Hebrew sense of pride in Jeremiah 48:29 and the phrase “make oneself high and lifted up.” 6. He defines seductive pride through 1 John 2:16 and the J.B. Phillips wording about “greedy ambitions” and “the glamour of all that they think splendid.” 7. He says God hates both forms of pride and quotes Proverbs 6:16-17 and Proverbs 8:13 to make that point. 8. He also says the election matters, because “the king’s heart” is in the hand of the Lord in Proverbs 21:1. 9. He pairs that with Proverbs 14:34 and Isaiah 10:1 to argue that leaders and laws shape nations. 10. He warns that when believers lose hope after an election, they can become sensitive, careless, and reckless in speech and posting. 11. He says supernatural leaders emerge when people humble themselves before Almighty God instead of living in self-sufficiency. 12. He punctuates that point with worship language, repeating “holy holy holy” and describing a humble posture before God. 13. He uses Pharaoh and Exodus 1 through 14 to show God freeing Israel after 10 plagues and the Red Sea crossing. 14. He uses Numbers 22 through 24 to describe Balaam blessing Israel three times instead of cursing them. 15. He uses Esther 3:7 and Esther 4:14 to show Esther exposing Haman’s plot and intervening for the Jews. 16. He uses Daniel 3 and 6, plus 2 Kings 18 and 19, to show deliverance from the furnace, the lions, and Sennacherib’s army. 17. The tone is pastoral and urgent, with repeated calls to “humble ourselves” and practical applications to families, marriages, and voting. 18. The format blends sermon exposition, scripture quotation, and a closing altar-call style prayer with the worship team nearby. 19. People interested in Christian leadership, election-season preaching, and Proverbs-based teaching would fit this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a neutral political analysis or a light discussion would probably skip it.
