About this sermon

Andrew Wommack’s daily TV program: Gospel Truth To subscribe to Andrew’s email newsletter: http://www.awmi.net/youtube-subscribe/ This series is called Humility: God’s Path To More Grace. Unfortunately humility is not most people's goal. Andrew is teaching on humility against pride. Jesus said he was meek and lowly in heart and yet he ran out the money changers for defiling the temple. Humility needs to be redefined in our understanding today. We need to recognize that God’s kingdom operates on a different system than what this world's system operates on. 00:08 Andrew continues his series on Humility: God’s Path To More Grace. 01:19 This Scripture (Isaiah 3.16-24 Amplified) speaks to us for today. This is so arrogant, and so against the things of God. The Scripture says that the women were doing these things, because they were haughty. 04:27 This is saying that all of the things that we project, and we take so much pride in the way we look and dress, and all of our ornaments (Isaiah 3.16-24 Amplified). This goes right along with 1John 2.16 “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father,…” God is not into these things that draw attention to ourselves. 05:26 Let me use a New Testament Scripture to put all of this in balance. In 1 Peter 3.3-4 it’s saying don’t make your hair, jewelry, and appearance the main focus. Don’t put the emphasis on the outer person. The Scripture is saying that it’s more important that you reflect the Godly virtues, and the Godly characteristics of a Godly woman, than it is to just put it into all of the outward appearance. 08:12 1 Peter 3.4 is saying that we shouldn’t put the emphasis on the outer person, but it should be on the inner person. The context of this, (1 Peter 3.1-2), is telling a woman how she can win her husband to the Lord even if he is not seeking the Lord. He can see your Godly behavior. Godly behavior and attitudes are much more important than what the external looks like. 09:28 If your’e the most beautiful person out of 3.2 billion people, someday that beauty is going to fade. But the spirit, attitude, and personality, if it’s submitted to God and humble, it gets better with time. You get more like God. 11:23 (Luke 1.52) “He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.” This was spoken at the birth of John the baptist. This is the way that God’s kingdom operates. It exalts people of low degree. 12:39 If you promote yourself, you’re liable to be demoted. (Luke 14.11) “For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” 14:05 (Luke 18.11) “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,” He wasn’t communicating or connecting with God. He was just praying to himself. There’s so much prayer today that is all about praying with yourself. There’s no real significance. You’re really not connecting with God. 16:13 The moment you come proclaiming your own goodness, you’re just like this Pharisee. You are only praying with yourself, and you do not get justified in the sight of God. 16:54 We have all sinned and come short of that, and we have to humble ourselves. You cannot come before God bragging about your your goodness. 19:54 If you exalt yourself, you are going to be abased. If you humble yourself, God will exalt you. 21:21 Josiah was just seven years old when he became king. When he read what God’s standards were, he repented and humbled himself (2 Chronicles 34). This led to one of the greatest revivals in recorded scripture. 22:15 There are many today people praying for revival but they aren’t humble & links to next video ============================================ Andrew Wommack Ministries http://www.awmi.net/ https://www.facebook.com/AWMinistries https://twitter.com/andrewwommack https://instagram.com/andrewwommack/ https://www.pinterest.com/andrewwommack/ ======================================================
