God Empowers the Humble
1 Peter 5:6 says this :
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
HUMBLE: Not proud or arrogant; to be moderate; to give up your independence, power, and will for the Lord’s Will, and for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Humbleness is the precondition for submission.
+When we humbly submit to God, we will experience what it’s like to be STRONG in the Lord and in the Power of His Might.
+Submission to God is our most powerful resistance against the enemy.
James 4:7 puts it this way:
Submit yourselves, therefore, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
+In our humble submission to God, we are not only resisting the devil, but we are also keeping evil and sins out of our lives.
+We are also giving God what He needs for us to experience His Manifest Presence in our lives.
+God Elevates, Exalt, Lifts up and Promotes the Humble.
James 4:6 also informs us,by saying:
But He (God) gives more GRACE. Therefore, He says, God resists the proud, but gives GRACE unto the HUMBLE.
1 Peter 5:5 says this:
…be clothed with HUMILITY: for God resists the proud, and gives GRACE to the HUMBLE.
GRACE: God’s spiritual and divine influence upon our heart that is reflected in our lives. God’s acceptance of us with His given benefits, favor, and gift with joy, liberality, pleasure, and all such like things.
Let’s see what 2 Peter 1:2 has to says:
GRACE and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
+May we always remain in HUMILITY and HUMBLED in all things for the glory of Christ, and may we always grow in His GRACE, and be found in His GRACE. In Jesus Name! Amen!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus Loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust, and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!
Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]– To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it).
