Since humility is the opposite of pride, lets look at both and check ourselves to see where we are at.

There aren't too many today that are truly humble, we see more pride displaying itself, than humility.

 Pride is over estimating self and under estimating others. 
Whereas, humility reveals that a humble person sees themselves in a lower light, and they are always looking to learn more.

 A humble person is teachable, they are hungry for more knowledge of God.  They want to know Him more.

 Whereas, a proud person thinks they know it all, and none of us know it all, we have been given glimpse of wonderful truths, and we will not know more of heavenly things until Jesus returns. 

 The Holy Spirit will reveal certain things to us, if we are humble enough to receive them in the word of God.

 Matthew 18:4
Therefore whoever humbles himself as a little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

 Matthew 23:12
"And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

 Proverbs 16:19
Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

 Humility cures worldliness. Worldliness is full of pride.

 James 4:6
"God resist the proud, But gives grace to the humble."

 Beloved, if you see pride seeking up on you, know it is the devils trap, because that was and is his nature, pride!

 Repent quickly, before you have to fall, in order to learn humility. God will bring something in your life that will humble you.

 Proverbs 16:18
Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

 If we examine ourselves, we can avoid a fall, we all need a spiritual check-up every once in a while.

 Heed God's word and make certain you are not slipping into the mindset of pride, thinking that you are better than someone else. Over estimating self !!

 Psalm 25:9
The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way.

 Beloved, stay humble and see how the Lord moves in your life.

 God bless your day
Jesus loves you

 Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I have see

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW OFFENCES TO COME INTO OUR LIFE? PART 2

How do we deal with offences that we have experienced? Proverbs 17:9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends. So, how do we deal with an offence, we cover it with the grace of God and love. Just as God does for us when we are  displeasing to Him. When we cover an offence with God's grace we overlook it and choose to give something of value to ourselves, Peace and rest for our soul. Beloved, our security is in Jesus not in other peoples opinions of us. We must die daily to self, as self is our worst enemy.  Stop trying to measure up to others.  Your journey is about you and Jesus.  Others journey is different from yours.  There are hidden things in their life that only God knows about. 2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who who commend themselves.   But they, measuring themselves, by themselves and comparing themselves among themselves are not wise. If an offence comes, pass it on to Jes

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk i
