The Power of Humility

Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the lowly is wisdom.

Humility is a posture that is a requirement in order to receive anything authentically from the Kingdom.

Whether it be from the Word, the Holy Spirit and or the gifts and anointing of others.

Humility gives power to lock us into God and His promises, where as pride has the power to lock us out.

When pride sets in the more judgmental and critical a person becomes. When this happens, they will fail to honor other people for their authority, wisdom, gifts, anointing and accomplishments.

This results in being locked out from the potential in others.

A person with a prideful spirit wants what others has, but has no ability to obtain it through humility. It has a need to be in control and in charge causing them an inability to humble down to receive genuinely what they are in need of.

Many times pride and control will try to force things to happen that would flow naturally had humility been part of the persons character. 

Pride and control has no ability to enjoy genuine relationships because something is wrong with every person and everyone does something that irritates them. This nitpicking attitude constantly sees the wrong and misses the positive benefits from relationships.

Having a spirit of humility, grace and honor is key in being able to receive what others carry. Whether a person is a recognized leader, in leadership, aspiring leader, an acquaintance or friend, the authority and anointing that that person carries can only be authentically accessed through honor and respect.

When we properly identify Christ, we become recipients of who He is by the Honor and Revelation we place on Him.

We receive His salvation and everything that Salvation carries with it including wisdom, knowledge, authority, power, healing, anointing and deliverance.

The term Messiah, Christos or Anointed One is a term that describes who He is. Luke 2:11

Because of who He is, it is this confession that allows what is on Him to flow upon us through humility and honor.Matthew 16:17

It is a supernatural unlocking of the Divine into our lives that can come by no other way than through the Revelation of who the Son of God is.

Christ Himself has taken captivity captive and He received gifts from among men including the rebellious. Psalm 68:18 Eph 4:11-12

He redistributed these gifts He had received and gave them to man. These gifts are the anointed five-fold ministers that are all over the world.

A person could have a desperate need and due to an inability to discern and honor, not tap into the potential that is sitting right next to them.

A critical attitude will minimize the person right in front of them that could offer a solution to their condition.

Pride locks the person out from receiving the very thing they are in need of.

The spirit of rejection will also work with being critical and will devalue every person they meet.

This critical analysis of every person causes an invisible barrier of resistance and resentment.

It is a slow form of self destruction of push pull behavior that grasps at everybody while pushing everyone away.

How our pursuit is in regards to our needs determines how we will receive.

Whether we sow in humility and honor or 

in pride and dishonor determines what we will receive in the end.

Do not become your own stronghold due to pride and control.

Colassians 3:12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,

 

1Peter 5:5 Likewise, you younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;

7 casting all your anxiety upon him, because he cares for you.

In His Love,
