Humble Kingdom
Humble Kingdom
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3
God promises his kingdom to the humble, and for good reason.
Just as an area of high atmospheric pressure repels storms, so pride in the human spirit repels the manifesting presence of Christ. And just as an area of low atmospheric pressure attracts storms systems, humility and those who are poor in spirit attract the manifesting presence of Christ.
Definition: Humility is the willingness to be known for who I am.
When you are prideful and pretending to be someone else, it is not surprising God will not manifest his presence to you— he doesn’t even recognize you!
When you dare to be yourself, on the other hand, God will manifest his presence to you, and his kingdom will demonstrate itself in tangible ways.
Father God, I humble myself, take off my masks, and receive your loving presence today. Teach me to be myself and welcome your kingdom daily in Jesus’ name.
Please PRAY!
We are asking God for the remaining world countries and U.S.A. states to receive the training of the College of Prayer. Pray with us today for Sweden and Wyoming.
