Humble kids are easier to raise than the “I am going to do what I want regardless of what you want hoodlum kids we see now days. (BIBLE calls them stubborn and self willed)... Stands true for the physical world and it is also true in the Spiritual Kingdom” Problem is GOD has all these kids who see all these different things in HIS LIFE MANUAL and they just take off and run down the edge of the sword with some doctrine that seems perfectly logical to think in their mind without ever consulting GOD and they think they wont get cut, even with JESUS telling them that in order to enter the Kingdom we are to have hearts like humble little kids before HIM but they wont humble their heart to GOD enough for the SPIRIT to teach them anything and they are going to find out exactly what happens when somebody falls on the Spiritual SWORD of GOD that divides between those who care and those who do not because all they know to care about are their justifying doctrines that severely distract from and sometimes even abolish everything JESUS says about how we are to have hearts of compassion for others. These people don't realize which side they are on. They are blind leading blind who have no desire to be conformed into HIS image by practicing HIS teachings and growing in HIS LOVE, they can’t see themselves because they never humbled themselves before GOD to ask HIM to show them anything that they might need to see or change.... It is because they wont humble themselves that the pride of not believing and respecting GOD has them blinded and yet their ways seemeth right to them and they know it's not them that Proverbs 14:12 is talking to.
,

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
.

Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
.

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
.

JESUS is talking about HIS own WORDS... THOSE WORDS OF LIFE EVERYTHING HE TEACHES AND STANDS FOR
.

Does it show that you are ashamed of what JESUS stands for in how you are to treat others? Do you deny HIM by having no effort what so ever to show HIS LOVE to somebody else who is just as undeserving of it as you are?
.

Humbly start seeking HIM to conform you into who HE wants you to be.... That's what i have been doing for thirty years.

***

One has to be humble to come to the Lord in the first place ... and then .... we are reminded to remain that way.

John 15

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

and that's pretty humbling ;o)

Uh let's see.... hmmmm i thought i had been clear... maybe you missed it... Plenty of deceived people adding leaven into the teachings of JESUS, those words of life.
Adding humility (a work) as a requirement for salvation is adding leaven into the teachings of Jesus.

Humility is definitely required before we can actually go into heaven.

Isaiah 57:15

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones."

There are some Christians who report a surge of humility during a near death experience.... or other type of spiritual experience. Some sort of a "cloak of humility" was given to this Christian author in a dream......

Yeah, sure. But what's your point?



Humble kids are easier to raise than the “I am going to do what I want regardless of what you want hoodlum kids we sometimes see. (BIBLE calls them stubborn and self willed)... Stands true for the physical world and it is also true in the Spiritual Kingdom” Problem is GOD has all these kids who see all these different things in HIS LIFE MANUAL and they just take off and run down the edge of the sword with some doctrine that seems perfectly logical to think in their mind without ever consulting GOD and they think they wont get cut, even with JESUS telling them that in order to enter the Kingdom we are to have hearts like humble little kids before HIM but they wont humble their heart to GOD enough for the SPIRIT to teach them anything and they are going to find out exactly what happens when somebody falls on the Spiritual SWORD of GOD that divides between those who care and those who do not because all they know to care about are their justifying doctrines that severely distract from and sometimes even abolish everything JESUS says about how we are to have hearts of compassion for others.

Does it show that you are ashamed of what JESUS stands for in how you are to treat others? Do you deny HIM by having no effort what so ever to show HIS LOVE to somebody else who is just as undeserving of it as you are? Are you a respecter of persons who disregards brothers and sisters laying in the streets? Let's look at what SHEEP actually do in Mathew 25. JESUS gives us a plain description.
.

If we would take down our signs of division and simply live JESUS WORDS OF LIFE and come to understand that rightly dividing is seeing and recognizing and paying attention to having our Spiritual Eye Singularly Focused on JESUS and everything HE is and stands for. Then the leaven would be leavened out. We are to seek GOD for understanding, understanding is growing in HIS LOVE.

Humbly start seeking HIM to conform you into who HE wants you to be.... That's what i have been doing for thirty years.
