Humility: God’s Path To More Grace - Week 3, Day 2 - The Gospel Truth

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. 1:40 Andrew continues his teaching on Humility , based on James 4.6 and 1 Peter 5.5 "...God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble." 1:48 If you really want God's grace operating in your life, you're going to have to learn to operate in humility. 2:01 One of the characteristics of humility is dependence upon God. 2:10 Religion presents humility as low self-esteem, being broken, beat down, and contrite; 2:21 However, in Numbers 12.3, the Bible says that Moses was the meekest man on the face of the earth and he threw down the stone tablets, opened up the earth to swallow up his enemies, stood strong in defiance.That is a Biblical portrait of true meekness. 2:42 Jesus was meek (see Matthew 11.29); he drove the moneychangers out of the temple with a whip! 3:10 Humility is being absolutely dependent upon God. 3:28 Part of humility is hating what God hates; it is walking in love to rebuke and warn people of the destructiveness of sin. 6:58 If God told you to give up everything and go do something else, would you be willing? 8:15 Humility is not only a lack of self-promotion, it is doing what God wants you to do without having your own agenda. 8:41 Moses, in Exodus 33.14-15, said in effect, "Lord, if You don't go with us, I'm not moving!" That's humility, total dependence on God. 9:00 Psalm 10.4 "The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts." 11:28 Most people do things their own way and only seek God if their own efforts fail. This is pride. 12:30 Remember James 4.6 & 1 Peter 5.5 "...God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble." 12:37 When we humble ourselves and become absolutely dependent on God, there is supernatural grace that flows toward us. 12:57 How did Jesus manifest this meekness, this humility? John 5:19 "Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." 13:53 If Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, could not or would not operate independent of His Father, who do we think we are, that we can operate independent of God? This is pride. 15:34 Proverbs 3.5 tells us to lean not to our own understanding; that is pride. 16:30 Humility is submission to God and recognizing that He is your source. 18:00 It was humility for Peter to step out of the boat onto the water when Jesus bid him to come. 19:28 Philippians 4.13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." This is not pride, but humility. 20:05 True humility is saying what God says about you. 20:50 If God has spoken to you to do something, and you have been timid, shy, and fearful of what others may think instead of stepping out, you are in pride. ========================================­==== 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/ ========================================­==============
