+       When one esteems "flesh and blood" [or themselves] above Me [in any way, shape or form] Satan takes that "worship" [idolization] and devotion as his own - and is given [through their pride and fear] continual inroads to that one's life and relationships.

"idolize" - to regard or esteem with blind adoration, devotion etc; to worship as a god;

        ...."If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate [footnote: i.e. by comparison of their love for Me] his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple".... Luke 14:26 NASB

        ...."You shall have no other gods before Me".... Exodus 20:3 NASB

        ...."Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry".... 1 Corinthians 10:14 NASB
