I was crying in my room, with scars and bruises, and He heard my cry to Him, I got healed, I have a stable job and a healthy pregnant wife! And we're expecting a boy, and it's all because of Him. Praise the good ol' God
This video has popped upin my feed before today but I was drawn to watch it this time. I'm only 11 minutes through but I need to comment now. I'm a 45 year old man that was born again during an overdose 5 years ago. The revelation I was given while watching this video was that I have allowed pride to block the blessing of God over my life to such a degree that I saw the person God was blessing me through as the prideful one. Im so thankful to have the opportunity to repent of this ugly sin. Thank you!
Since following Jesus, I've been seeing how easily pride comes into my life whether it's thinking I know more than my brother or feeling good about not making mistakes other make. I've been pointing out whenever these feelings/thoughts came up and working to stay humble, I don't know everything and don't need to point out I know more than someone else or prove to be better. You explain well and pray that God help others who also struggle with pride and that we humble ourselves more.
God bless you for sharing your honest testimony, many times though filled with various different type of pride instead of admitting one would deflect or justify it. I rarely here this thou. 🙏
@@amyrenee1361 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:15-17 NKJV Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” Matthew 4:5-7 NKJV God the father, Son and Holy spirit are one and if you read the New Testament you'll see the truth, hope you see the truth.
@@McSmurfyI'm dealing with this right now! I gotta figure out how to knock myself down. 😖😔I don't point them out to others but just having the thought of being better than because I don't do the things I see others doing...I feel like God hears those thoughts therefore I still feel convicted
@@MissMcD Don't worry because since the time of posting the comment, this is easier now but the biggest thing is to identify the pride coming in an stopping it. Since doing this I've been more aware of my thoughts and everytime I take it and give it to God, then when I pray I ask to stay humble. Then the other step when talking with someone, is I first think that person might know more than me and secondly remind myself that Jesus never would feel better than others for knowing something others do not. I hope this might help and will pray for you to overcome this too, because it's something that's gotten in the way or caused problems with people in my life previously (sometimes me included).
There was a season in my life (2011) where I was getting up in the middle of the night to pray. I was continually humbling myself and in prayer. I told the Lord I just wanted to please him. I asked him what I should do. I remember it so clearly...He said "Keep my commandments. And they are not grevious". The next day my mom called me and shared with a video called "Identity Crisis" by Jim Staley. My world has changed for the better. I humbled that He has chosen me to share His truth with. I also thank my wonderful mother, for she raised my siblings and I in the fear of the Lord. Psalm 119:142 The Law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. Yahweh bless you and your ministry!
I love this definition... The Hebrew word anavah is what we translate as “humility,” but the literal definition of anavah is to occupy your God-given space in the world-to not overestimate yourself or your abilities, but to not underestimate them either.
Yes I had this revelation too, it doesn’t glorify God to underestimate your talents etc. that’s how I ended up around associates that were a hindrance because I wanted to be “humble”
The Lord’s hand is upon you. Thank you for your obedience. Watching these videos I feel like a Christian in kindergarten class. The Lord has me in a season of humility, and faith. He’s been speaking to me all week but I just wasn’t understanding. Your videos gave me another perspective. I’ve felt so much grace and love from God hearing the word from you. God is alive, God is moving.
I’ve been saying this lately! I’m doing a study on John eight, and the Pharisees were so offended by the confidence that Jesus had! They accused him of what they are. But he was simply telling the truth.
Mazel Tov. Thank you John. Very well spoken and presented. A most timely encounter here. May YHVH open doors for this message to reach all He chooses in Messiah Yeshua. Shalom.
I've had a lot of breaking, but by the grace of God He was by my side long before I ever knew it. He kept me and held me and still does. This teaching is precious and timely for me 🤍
Thank you John for this information. I had defined humility as a way of looking at yourself, but I had not included obedience and dependence on God, or what I would call good behavior and proper mentality. I also find Pro. 22:4 very very interesting. There are some different translations but the NET puts it like this: “The reward for humility and fearing the LORD is riches and honor and life.”
I was thinking about a girl I knew who suffered from low self esteem and no matter how many times someone told her she was beautiful, she was not able to believe it. That was a long time ago, though. I haven’t heard from her in years, maybe she has been healed from this.
I'm not sure about being conceded, when I was younger I was considered that by just a few people, they said they were scared to approach me, but from a very young age and even down a days, I've been called weak, a door mat, and I need to do this or that. But I'm just fine, but people in my life are telling me I'm weak and not standing up for myself. I don't get it.
I will not be obedient to the point of excruciating suffering or death. That's sick and twisted. I would hope my children would never obey me if I was a Tyrant. I would hope if I was mean and abusive, my children would rebel. You should resist evil, no matter who's hand is inflicting it.
Thank you so much for doing this video. When I was a new believer I thought I had to put on that passive behaviors and boy did God break me of that! Now humility in my life looks more like speaking truth when the wicked try to oppress. Using meekness and strength of Gods word I stand firm in love and truth in a circumstance and not in acting humble, spineless and weak. When we act weak, we get devoured by our enemies which is a bad witness of our Lord.
Thank you. I used to judge myself harshly because a guy jealous of me made me feel like i was arrogant. All I did was say no to drinking women and other things i didn't feel comfortable with. He said i think im better than everyone. I just humbly stood firm on my beliefs.
John I’m so happy to have come across your videos. I’ve had one foot in the Christian life and one in the world. I’ve been reading your book The Awe of God and reading the Bible, praying and confessing. The Lord truly is changing me day by day I have to admit it hasn’t been easy. We need to hear more preaching of the Word as you, through the Holy Spirit, are doing. I look forward to getting more of your books. Thank you and God bless you sir 🙏
So refreshing I’ve been accused of arrogance so many times but God is always silencing those who are truly the arrogant ones. Whenever I was arrogant the Lord rebuked me But whenever I was humble the church rebuked me faithfully
Wow, this has happened to me with my family! I get called arrogant all the time especially when sharing what the Lord has shown me! Even my own experiences with the Lord gets the same accusations! When it says "a future and a hope" that is speaking of our eternity with Jesus. He IS our hope! Our reward! The tribulation is about to begin along with the rapture of the Bride prior! Maranatha!
I'm dealing with this right now too! My family proclaims that they are believers, yet don't show fruit, and think of me as "holier than thou" when I talk about obeying Jesus. I can no longer be around people who claim Jesus yet deliberately go against Him even when they know it's wrong, and not say anything. I always try to speak humbly and out of kindness (if I even have the boldness to at that time 🤦 it's hard lol) and I get looked down on. But I know I just need to keep following what Jesus says no matter what. Be bold for Him, even if it's hard with family. I'm learning how to stop people pleasing and please Him instead ❤️ you got this!
Happens all the time to me!!! As soon as I say anything they use passive aggression and ad hominem to call me arrogant. I refuse for them to try to keep me small. God is my Father! My confidence is in him, therefore I speak and move to obey him! Keep growing with the Holy Father! Keep obeying him. We will ALL have to answer for our afflictions one day. ❤
Thanks for reminding me with this verse, “Do not try to impress others”… And I really think we have to stop comparing with others… Thank u, God bless u, brother John.
The problem with humility that needs to be addressed. The nations are abusive along with the churches, Christians and different people are abusive not only that, but predatory towards the humble and those that embrace humility. You get treated like the lowest of the low. Also God showed me in 2003 I use to pray and cry to God, that I was not humble enough and then He showed me that my life makes and keeps me humble to the point, you don't even know that you are. He also showed me there is a false humility that is just plain awful and gave to me not to embrace it or go after it, but to stand against it. That was ages ago, For me because I also embrace honesty, and at present, I am dealing with communication and being able to give a true witness and be totally honest, and if I can't be that about my self, then I certainly can't be that with God and others. And some people automatically accuse you of being arrogant and conceited, when in truth you are being honest and you don't want to be a false witness. God makes the humble deal with the pride, arrogant, conceited, and the list goes on. Sometimes its hard to get the help you need, or to have any relationship with anyone, because you put yourself last, or everyone puts you last, not only you but also your nation. I would like people to stop treating the humble like garbage and if we need help, then you need to listen and help, particularly in this current climate when there is all this wipe out going on. So for me I don't aim for the heights, I love the truth when God lowers His ear to hear the earth, or wisdom bows her ear to hear the earth, and I would love it if a whole bunch of people lowered there ear to listen, it would make everything a whole bunch better. My humility I embrace and was gifted with, is not humble so we can get something, or be in the high and lofty, that is awful, we don't embrace if you are humble God will do this and that, no you are humble because you value being humble, you submit, because you value submission its different, and you need to repent, because what you are saying about humility and how to be humble is awful and its false.
Great perspective, God bless you! I think that’s what makes false humility so deceiving. Some people only submit because they know that God promises greatness but that’s not true submission if you are only in it for the praise.
I am wondering how I can rebuke my brothers in Christ without becoming prideful? How can I judge their outward sin without coming across that I am better than them. I have my own sins, just in different areas, but have overcome struggles that they are currently dealing with.
Love how he brings out the timeline in Paul’s ministry - least of the apostles to saints to sinners - in his reaching the heart of God in humility! I’d never seen it in the progression like that before! So good!
Thank you so much for in depth biblical analysis 🧐 between arrogance and humility! So thorough. JB, you’re such an amazing Bible teacher. In Proverbs, it says let others exalt you, and not yourself the Awe of God was extraordinary! Thanks again.
Humility is adjusting to what GOD Said. For example, if GOD Tells me, "You're beautiful", if I'm really humble, I'll Say, "I'm beautiful" because saying "I'm not" or "I'm ugly" is pride. Or worse, rebellion. 😇😇😇
The times ive had to be the most humble before God and men have also been the times ive been seen as prideful by the ones that do not understand, ironically. Only further humbling the self and purifying the soul so that true humility would be created and not be dependent on if someone thinks it's humble or not.
Thank you so much for your ministry. I learned of you from a friend of mine. I respect the longevity you have had in ministry, I am able to glean so much from you and Lisa's wisdom on so many subjects. Thank you again!
This a so timely. 00:00 to 00:09 I considered what Paul says: “follow me as I follow Christ” and I’ve always thought to myself “… wait a minute… What?” LOL
I have a super Christian friend who believes that if she were to make someone sick then it would be their time to die rather than taking measures to prevent it... Is this true humility?
I think Eliab was right. David’s Goliath situation was rooted in David’s view of his own ability based on his résumé with the lion and bear. Maybe Goliath was there to execute the judgement God had vowed for the house of Saul. David’s life went down from that victory on for nearly 2 decades. The difference between David the boy and David the man is that as a man, He never entered a battle without enquiring from the Lord both whether he in the battle and what strategy to use if he does. . He never used a previous victory as a reason to think he can do it. Now the arrogant boy became the humble man and king. Just another twist to the story to consider. 😉
Thanks for feeding us. So needed. I've been following your entire family from Canada...just love your obedience to Him and how transparent you are. As a single mother of three it means a lot to me to see how you balanced through life while serving God and there you are, all your kids have the love of God and the fear of God. Thank you John! Praise the Lord!
"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain" (Exodus 20:7). Geez, gosh, oh my goodness are all euphemisms for OMG. I am struggling with this a lot right now so it stood out to me.
oops... i used to be so outspoken and agressive but very honest when i wasnt a believer, i didnt let nobody mess with me. that side is still here today as a believer but ive supressed it intsenely thinking i needed to be the sweetest and softest person but it felt so fake. i wanted to fit that mold so bad but it was a forceful thing on my part
Yeah I relate!! I think truly fearing the lord above all else, this can come across as thinking I'm too special to follow social rules or norms. It's not my intention at all. I'm terrified for this world--for my family, myself and others of what doing the wrong things will lead to, of destruction and ruin, above the world's opinion or what someone thinks of me---and if heaven forbid i'm doing something thats going to hurt me and put others at risk, and I can't see it, I would want someone on earth to be courageous enough to tell me too.
A lot of humility is about keeping our eyes on Jesus and not caring about how you look to others. As long as you know your heart is pure before the Lord and you are have a grounded view of yourself in relation to God, regardless of what your natural demeanor is, charismatic or unassuming, it doesn't matter. Just because your charisma may betray a sense of arrogance to the insecure doesn't mean that you are arrogant. It's about your heart. Just because your softer demeanor may betray a sense of cowardice, weakness and false humility doesn't mean you are weak or spineless or a people pleaser. It's about your heart. So as long as you know your heart is right, who cares what others think?
No, humility couldn't possibly be mistaken for arrogance. ONLY those who are not of understanding would think that. When in actuality, using David as an example, humility equates to confidence in the LORD. WHEN YOU ARE HUMBLED AND CONTINUOUSLY WALK IN HUMILITY FOR THE MOST HIGH... YOU WILL EXUDE CONFIDENCE THAT THE ENEMY CANT COMPREHEND. Because that confidence is in the MOST HIGH Himself. (Hebrews 11:6).
Remember that Jesus Himself was seen as arrogant by the scribes and Pharisees, and yet He was perfect in His humility. Watch the full video for more examples, it’s a beautiful teaching.
@jareya Nowhere in the Bible does it state that Jesus was arrogant or seen as arrogant. I don't care how beautiful the teaching is. If it isn't biblical, I'm calling the teacher out on it. That's the problem, yall are so wrapped up in how "beautiful" a sermon is that you don't search the sceipture for yourself.
@@AHAYAHSDaughter40 Of course Jesus is not and was never arrogant. I never said that was stated anywhere in the Bible. in fact, I said He was perfectly humble. But He was *wrongly* perceived by some as arrogant, and the point of this teaching by Mr Bevere is that true humility can be misinterpreted as arrogance. Please read John 8:13, Mark 2:6-7, John 6:41-42, etc. God bless you.
Thank you …. I was thinking how can humility be confuse with arrogance (haughtiness/proud). Arrogance boasts, arrogance escapes accountability, arrogance is loud false confidence. If you’re truly born again with discernment, from the Holy Spirit you’ll never confuse the two, God is not the author of confusion. See why we must read the Bible for ourself
You can see the love of God formed in Paul when he says I wish that I could be cut off that the Jewish people would know Jesus as messiah. That is the heart of Jesus. Wow!! Great teaching man of God.
classic case of projection by Elab. happens all the time. and funny enough, it happens a lot with really any accusation. its merely a projection from themselves onto others
when your confused by someone like this who you "think" is explaining the Bible-then you should read and study the Bible yourself-NO ONE GOES TO HEAVEN THAT IS DECEIVED BY FALSE TEACHERS!
The story of the Israelites entering the Promised land, I felt was more about trusting God and believing than anything else. The 10 saying, "no, there are giants there, they will kill us" didn't trust God's ability to protect them, whereas Joshua and Caleb took God at His word. If God says go, we will be victorious; God was angry about that and the Israelites did not enter the Promised land until that whole generation of nay-sayers had died, ("40" yrs). Then Caleb and Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised land and they entered victoriously.
Pulling verses out of context to support your teachings. 👌 I attended one of your “sermons” recently because I was invited. The whole time I just kept hearing how much you exalt yourself. Do not follow this false teacher. Test everything!
Hi brother John, greatings from France! thank you for this lesson about humility, it's full of Revelation, l just bought your two wonderful books ( GOD where are You, and The AWE OF GOD). Can't wait to read. God bless you🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️.
Your words hit me hard in my soul & spirit! I’m not in a church where I get ministered too. I have a book inside me but I don’t feel I’m qualified to start it. I want to start it - but I’m scared!!
I so appreciate this teaching. The Lord is showing me that the rubber meets the road when I draw near to God. When I don't I am walking in pride, and God resists me. When I do draw near to him he sweetly draws near to me. Then he can raise me up to the high and holy place where he lives in eternity and I can see and live life from his eternal perspective. What an awesome privilege, yet my pride so quickly despises and sabotages it. God please draw me and give me grace to always draw near to you!!!
It's funny I'm seeing this today. Last night I wrote these words as part of a meme. I can't post pic in these comments, but here are the words... DAILY, I AM LEARNING TO TAKE LESS AND LESS PRIDE IN THE DEGREE OF "MY" HUMILITY, AND TO LAY IT AT THE FEET OF HE, TO WHOM IT RIGHTFULLY BELONGS. Coincidence?...hmmm
I was crying in my room, with scars and bruises, and He heard my cry to Him, I got healed, I have a stable job and a healthy pregnant wife! And we're expecting a boy, and it's all because of Him. Praise the good ol' God

It breaks my heart that there are so many women with a false sense of humility because they refuse to believe that they are beautiful.

conceited.....
Its not about obedience if l may its
about love but where did it leave
the Lord, God the only one who loved
his Son.
its in other translation instead of humble : distressed, anguished or something like this
I will not be obedient to the point of excruciating suffering or death. That's sick and twisted. I would hope my children would never obey me if I was a Tyrant. I would hope if I was mean and abusive, my children would rebel. You should resist evil, no matter who's hand is inflicting it.

Happens all the time to me!!! As soon as I say anything they use passive aggression and ad hominem to call me arrogant. I refuse for them to try to keep me small. God is my Father! My confidence is in him, therefore I speak and move to obey him!
Keep growing with the Holy Father! Keep obeying him. We will ALL have to answer for our afflictions one day. ❤
Thanks for reminding me with this verse, “Do not try to impress others”…
And I really think we have to stop comparing with others… Thank u, God bless u, brother John.
I wonder if humility isn't having a low view of yourself, but an accurate one.
The problem with humility that needs to be addressed. The nations are abusive along with the churches, Christians and different people are abusive not only that, but predatory towards the humble and those that embrace humility. You get treated like the lowest of the low. Also God showed me in 2003 I use to pray and cry to God, that I was not humble enough and then He showed me that my life makes and keeps me humble to the point, you don't even know that you are. He also showed me there is a false humility that is just plain awful and gave to me not to embrace it or go after it, but to stand against it. That was ages ago, For me because I also embrace honesty, and at present, I am dealing with communication and being able to give a true witness and be totally honest, and if I can't be that about my self, then I certainly can't be that with God and others. And some people automatically accuse you of being arrogant and conceited, when in truth you are being honest and you don't want to be a false witness. God makes the humble deal with the pride, arrogant, conceited, and the list goes on. Sometimes its hard to get the help you need, or to have any relationship with anyone, because you put yourself last, or everyone puts you last, not only you but also your nation. I would like people to stop treating the humble like garbage and if we need help, then you need to listen and help, particularly in this current climate when there is all this wipe out going on. So for me I don't aim for the heights, I love the truth when God lowers His ear to hear the earth, or wisdom bows her ear to hear the earth, and I would love it if a whole bunch of people lowered there ear to listen, it would make everything a whole bunch better. My humility I embrace and was gifted with, is not humble so we can get something, or be in the high and lofty, that is awful, we don't embrace if you are humble God will do this and that, no you are humble because you value being humble, you submit, because you value submission its different, and you need to repent, because what you are saying about humility and how to be humble is awful and its false.
Great perspective, God bless you! I think that’s what makes false humility so deceiving. Some people only submit because they know that God promises greatness but that’s not true submission if you are only in it for the praise.
I am wondering how I can rebuke my brothers in Christ without becoming prideful? How can I judge their outward sin without coming across that I am better than them. I have my own sins, just in different areas, but have overcome struggles that they are currently dealing with.
Simply ask the Holy Spirit what He wants you to do about it. And always always in love. Without love, I wouldn't even try
Love how he brings out the timeline in Paul’s ministry - least of the apostles to saints to sinners - in his reaching the heart of God in humility! I’d never seen it in the progression like that before! So good!
AMEN! IF NOT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD IN ME THAT CHANGES MY VIEW OF ME!! THANK YOU JESUS I WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY LOST WITHOUT YOU 🙏 🙌🏽 ❤️ 😌!
Thank you so much for in depth biblical analysis 🧐 between arrogance and humility! So thorough. JB, you’re such an amazing Bible teacher. In Proverbs, it says let others exalt you, and not yourself the Awe of God was extraordinary! Thanks again.
I love the sentence: "the reason your name is in this book you wrote is only because you are the first person who read it " thank u servant of God
Humility is adjusting to what GOD Said. For example, if GOD Tells me, "You're beautiful", if I'm really humble, I'll Say, "I'm beautiful" because saying "I'm not" or "I'm ugly" is pride. Or worse, rebellion. 😇😇😇
Wow! This is such a blessed word like a cool river on a hot day ❤
The times ive had to be the most humble before God and men have also been the times ive been seen as prideful by the ones that do not understand, ironically. Only further humbling the self and purifying the soul so that true humility would be created and not be dependent on if someone thinks it's humble or not.
I resonate.
Thank you so much for your ministry. I learned of you from a friend of mine. I respect the longevity you have had in ministry, I am able to glean so much from you and Lisa's wisdom on so many subjects. Thank you again!
This a so timely. 00:00 to 00:09 I considered what Paul says: “follow
me as I follow Christ” and I’ve always thought to myself “… wait a minute… What?” LOL
I have a super Christian friend who believes that if she were to make someone sick then it would be their time to die rather than taking measures to prevent it... Is this true humility?
HalleluYah. I highly recommend any believer to read Andrew Murray's book called Humility.
I think Eliab was right. David’s Goliath situation was rooted in David’s view of his own ability based on his résumé with the lion and bear. Maybe Goliath was there to execute the judgement God had vowed for the house of Saul. David’s life went down from that victory on for nearly 2 decades. The difference between David the boy and David the man is that as a man, He never entered a battle without enquiring from the Lord both whether he in the battle and what strategy to use if he does. . He never used a previous victory as a reason to think he can do it. Now the arrogant boy became the humble man and king. Just another twist to the story to consider. 😉
wow, Lord!
What a message?! THANK YOU!
Man, this is soooo good. I really needed this. Thank you, and bless you!!
Thanks for feeding us. So needed. I've been following your entire family from Canada...just love your obedience to Him and how transparent you are. As a single mother of three it means a lot to me to see how you balanced through life while serving God and there you are, all your kids have the love of God and the fear of God. Thank you John! Praise the Lord!
"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain" (Exodus 20:7).
Geez, gosh, oh my goodness are all euphemisms for OMG.
I am struggling with this a lot right now so it stood out to me.
Excellent Bible study. 📚👍👍👍I just love it. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you.🙏✝️🙌🙏✝️🙌
oops... i used to be so outspoken and agressive but very honest when i wasnt a believer, i didnt let nobody mess with me. that side is still here today as a believer but ive supressed it intsenely thinking i needed to be the sweetest and softest person but it felt so fake. i wanted to fit that mold so bad but it was a forceful thing on my part
So true and so insightful. Well said, how come no one else thought to talk about this?
Yeah I relate!! I think truly fearing the lord above all else, this can come across as thinking I'm too special to follow social rules or norms. It's not my intention at all. I'm terrified for this world--for my family, myself and others of what doing the wrong things will lead to, of destruction and ruin, above the world's opinion or what someone thinks of me---and if heaven forbid i'm doing something thats going to hurt me and put others at risk, and I can't see it, I would want someone on earth to be courageous enough to tell me too.
A lot of humility is about keeping our eyes on Jesus and not caring about how you look to others. As long as you know your heart is pure before the Lord and you are have a grounded view of yourself in relation to God, regardless of what your natural demeanor is, charismatic or unassuming, it doesn't matter. Just because your charisma may betray a sense of arrogance to the insecure doesn't mean that you are arrogant. It's about your heart. Just because your softer demeanor may betray a sense of cowardice, weakness and false humility doesn't mean you are weak or spineless or a people pleaser. It's about your heart. So as long as you know your heart is right, who cares what others think?
I definitely need to be more humble after hearing this word. Thank you Lord
Thank you man. I'm so blessed through you!
Wow! I love hearing that God's using these messages to minister to you.
Great job John, keep preaching the good word
I have thought this for a while but you explained it perfectly. Thank you and May GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOUR MINISTRY ❤🙏🏾.
No, humility couldn't possibly be mistaken for arrogance. ONLY those who are not of understanding would think that.
When in actuality, using David as an example, humility equates to confidence in the LORD.
WHEN YOU ARE HUMBLED AND CONTINUOUSLY WALK IN HUMILITY FOR THE MOST HIGH... YOU WILL EXUDE CONFIDENCE THAT THE ENEMY CANT COMPREHEND.
Because that confidence is in the MOST HIGH Himself. (Hebrews 11:6).
Remember that Jesus Himself was seen as arrogant by the scribes and Pharisees, and yet He was perfect in His humility. Watch the full video for more examples, it’s a beautiful teaching.
@jareya Nowhere in the Bible does it state that Jesus was arrogant or seen as arrogant.
I don't care how beautiful the teaching is. If it isn't biblical, I'm calling the teacher out on it.
That's the problem, yall are so wrapped up in how "beautiful" a sermon is that you don't search the sceipture for yourself.
@@jareya To go one step further, it does state in the Bible that the Pharisees and Sadducees were JEALOUS of Him.
@@AHAYAHSDaughter40 Of course Jesus is not and was never arrogant. I never said that was stated anywhere in the Bible. in fact, I said He was perfectly humble. But He was *wrongly* perceived by some as arrogant, and the point of this teaching by Mr Bevere is that true humility can be misinterpreted as arrogance. Please read John 8:13, Mark 2:6-7, John 6:41-42, etc. God bless you.
Thank you …. I was thinking how can humility be confuse with arrogance (haughtiness/proud). Arrogance boasts, arrogance escapes accountability, arrogance is loud false confidence. If you’re truly born again with discernment, from the Holy Spirit you’ll never confuse the two, God is not the author of confusion. See why we must read the Bible for ourself
wow that was so good
AMEN!! FINISH THE RACE THE JESUS WAY!!
I love to listen to your teachings discovered on TH-cam yesterday...
No words. So powerful. Thank you. God is good ♡
You can see the love of God formed in Paul when he says I wish that I could be cut off that the Jewish people would know Jesus as messiah. That is the heart of Jesus. Wow!! Great teaching man of God.
classic case of projection by Elab. happens all the time.
and funny enough, it happens a lot with really any accusation. its merely a projection from themselves onto others
Love this teaching. Thank you so much. God bless! Greetings with love from the Philippines.
when your confused by someone like this who you "think" is explaining the Bible-then you should read and study the Bible yourself-NO ONE GOES TO HEAVEN THAT IS DECEIVED BY FALSE TEACHERS!
Point out anything he said is false, with biblical backup
Where does the Bible say that those who are deceived by false teachers do not go to heaven
AMEN!! THE CHARACTER YOU ARE CREATING IN ME! YOUR HUMILITY IS MY TEACHER!!!
The story of the Israelites entering the Promised land, I felt was more about trusting God and believing than anything else. The 10 saying, "no, there are giants there, they will kill us" didn't trust God's ability to protect them, whereas Joshua and Caleb took God at His word. If God says go, we will be victorious; God was angry about that and the Israelites did not enter the Promised land until that whole generation of nay-sayers had died, ("40" yrs). Then Caleb and Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised land and they entered victoriously.
Pulling verses out of context to support your teachings. 👌 I attended one of your “sermons” recently because I was invited. The whole time I just kept hearing how much you exalt yourself. Do not follow this false teacher. Test everything!
This is so powerful... Thank you Lord
Hi brother John, greatings from France! thank you for this lesson about humility, it's full of Revelation, l just bought your two wonderful books ( GOD where are You, and The AWE OF GOD). Can't wait to read. God bless you🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️.
I pray God uses these messages to minister to you! Thank you for your kind words.
💎🙏♥️💞😇😇thank ypu John Bevere!💎
Wow I have been thinking a lot about this recently!
Your words hit me hard in my soul & spirit! I’m not in a church where I get ministered too.
I have a book inside me but I don’t feel I’m qualified to start it. I want to start it - but I’m scared!!
Amen! ❤️🙏🏼✝️🙌🏼🎉❤️❤️❤️
It's human being nature and we put our nature down for his.
I so appreciate this teaching. The Lord is showing me that the rubber meets the road when I draw near to God. When I don't I am walking in pride, and God resists me. When I do draw near to him he sweetly draws near to me. Then he can raise me up to the high and holy place where he lives in eternity and I can see and live life from his eternal perspective. What an awesome privilege, yet my pride so quickly despises and sabotages it. God please draw me and give me grace to always draw near to you!!!
God bless you for your obedience brother. This was truly a blessing.
Amen. Subscribed
It's funny I'm seeing this today. Last night I wrote these words as part of a meme. I can't post pic in these comments, but here are the words...
DAILY, I AM LEARNING TO TAKE LESS AND LESS PRIDE IN THE DEGREE OF "MY" HUMILITY, AND TO LAY IT AT THE FEET OF HE, TO
WHOM IT RIGHTFULLY BELONGS.
Coincidence?...hmmm
