Reviving the Humble
The High and Lofty One
God is the High and Lofty One (God is sovereign)
God Inhabits eternity (God is eternal.
He is without beginning or ending.
He is simultaneously present in every place past, present, and future.)
God’s name is Holy (God is Holy.
His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways.
He is altogether different from us.)
God dwells in the High and Holy place (God exists in a heavenly realm far higher than ours.)
A true relationship with God begins with a true understanding that God is high and holy.
The Contrite and Humble Ones
God Resists the Proud
Pride says, “I have arrived.
Be like me!”
Pride says, “My church has it all.
Don’t settle for less!”
What does the Bible say?
God Gives Grace to the Humble
Humility says, “I am seeking God.
Come with me!”
Humility brings God’s grace to our need.
Grace alone can change our hearts.
Humility is characteristic of true disciples of Jesus Christ.
Humility is a sign of spiritual maturity.
The difference between wheat and tares.
The wheat and tares look the same until they mature.
Upon maturity, the wheat bows over under the weight of fruitfulness.
The tares stand straight up with no fruit.
Allen Bond: “The bigger I grow in God, the smaller I become.”
John the Baptist
The humble minister understands that the stage of human history is not about himself.
He simply introduces and welcomes the LORD to the stage and then fades back behind the curtain so that Jesus alone receives the attention and glory.
Humility is to be our spiritual clothing.
God Revives the Humble and Contrite
Humility is a prerequisite to experiencing a revival
Response to the Word
Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God.
(God resists the proud.)
Admit your sin, compromise, pride, and excuses.
Admit your own weakness and inability to change yourself.
Admit your need for God’s grace.
Allow God to minister the forgiveness and grace that you need.
