Humility: God’s Path To More Grace - Week 5, Day 5 - 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. 00:07 Andrew continues his series on Humility: God’s Path To More Grace. 02:15 We have the spirit of Christ in us, according to (Romans 8.9). If you’ve been born-again, you are a new creature (2 Corinthians 5.17), and you have his life on the inside of you. Therefore, we can act like him. Jesus himself said in (John 14.12) “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” 04:12 A self-centered person is like having an addiction to dope. People that are addicted to dope are never satisfied with the same amount they had before. They have to keep increasing it. 06:00 I’ve had people ask me to cast ‘self’ out of them. The only way to do that is to physically die, and go to heaven to be with the Lord, in your glorified self. Then, you won’t have this tendency with the flesh anymore. As long as you are breathing, you will have this tendency to exalt and promote self. It’s not something you just deal with one time and it’s over. 08:00 Nobody is ever going to live perfectly humble, but you can head in that direction. 09:10 If the Holy Spirit touches you right where you are, and you drop to your knees, and repent to God for exalting yourself, blaming others, and using excuses, and if you humbled yourself today, it’s not going to be perfect. Even then, it’s not like you’ll never have another problem with self. You’ll have to continue this again tomorrow. 11:14 Going back to (Romans 12.1-2), these are the Scriptures that the Lord used to change my life. They are the very first Scriptures that came to life for me. Those verses say that we are supposed to be a living sacrifice. They say this is our reasonable service. 13:54 You don’t just make a sacrifice and come to the Lord, and come to grips with self just one time. It needs to be a living sacrifice. Something that you live the rest of your life. (Romans 12.1) 16:11 Hopefully, many of you have been touched through this teaching on humility. And, you recognize that you’ve used excuses like, this is your personality type, this is just the way your family is, or you’ve blamed others. Hopefully many of you realize that it’s these external things, but it’s the pride in us that causes all of this grief. 17:40 (Romans 12.2) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12.1 talks about being a living sacrifice, but then Romans 12.2 talks about renewing your mind. It’s a process. 18:15 There’s steps, stages, and growth in the process of sacrificing self. You don’t just go 0 miles per hour, to 1000 miles per hour all at once. That’s not accretion, that’s a wreck. 19:00 You make a commitment to God, to lay down your life for him and other people, and he will help you. He will show you where you’re violating your commitment, and you make the course corrections. And, you humble yourself, and you say, “Father, I’m sorry. I really meant what I said. I’m sorry I got off track.” It’s a process. 20:27 Like Romans 12.1, you need to say something like, “Father, I’m presenting myself to you as a living sacrifice. I’m crawling up on the alter. I can’t overcome self on my own. I need the fire of God to fall on this sacrifice and consume it. So I just lay myself out before you, and I’m asking you, Father, to come and consume me, to consume this self. Get me to where I love you, first of all and foremost. Then, to where I love your people more than I love myself. Father, I love doing your will, and not my own. Father, I die to self and put you first. I want your will in my life.” 21:25 If you allow him, the Holy Spirit will come in and energize your prayer. He will help you. 22:44 We have people on the phones who would love to pray with you & 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/ ======================================================
