The Spirit of Meekness

The Spirit of Meekness manifests when the human spirit is yoked to the Holy Spirit, in obedience. To be directed by the Voice of the Lord.
We can only serve, like Moses, in the spirit of meekness.
Numbers 12:3. Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.
Meekness in the Healing Ministry
Hebrews 3:1-6 compares the Lord Jesus Christ as the High Priest of our profession to the faithfulness of Moses in shepherding Israel through the wilderness.
Quoting the Lord in Numbers 12, Moses is said to have been “faithful in all My House”.
Hebrews 3:5 & 6. And Moses was truly faithful in all His house as a servant for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; but Christ as a son over his own house, whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. When Hebrews 3:5 says that Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, a unique Greek word is used, and translating as “a servant” clouds the importance of this statement.
The word doulos is used over 100 times in the New Testament to convey the idea of being a bondservant or purchased slaves of Christ. This one time the word therapon is used which means an attendant. This is the word from which is derived therapeia and the English word therapy. As the therapon to the church in the wilderness Moses attended to the needs of the people, in particular, to maintain a right relationship with the Spirit of the Lord.
To have a zeal for the church and body of Christ, we are being called like Moses to be faithful in all his house. The significance of this statement is only understood from the visitation of the Lord in Numbers 12.
Numbers 12:6-8. And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all My house. With him will I speak face to face, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
Hebrews goes on to say that now we all can come boldly before the throne of grace. We have the same access, the same opportunity to come into the Lord’s presence. After spending time in the sanctuary of the Lord we can speak without presumptuous error and offence. We can be faithful in all his house.
Consider now the application of this word study to a correct understanding of this teaching of Christ Jesus.
Luke 12:42. Who then is a faithful and wise servant whom his lord will make ruler(?) over his household (therapeia) to give them meat in due season?
Jesus is seeking elect stewards like Moses who can be faithful in all his house, to see to the spiritual health of the congregation. To be a therapon to provide therapeia (healing) for the body of Christ. As the two other uses of the word therapeia in Luke 9:11 and Revelations 22:2, where the word is translated healing. Does the Lord want us to rule people or heal people?
Luke 9:11. And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
Revelation 22:2. On either side of the river was a tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
The Anointing of the Gospel is unto the Meek
Isaiah 61:1. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek.
Psalm 22:26. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek Him: your heart shall live forever.
Psalm 25:9. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
Psalm 37:11. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psalm 76:8 & 9. You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared,
and was still, when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
Psalm 147:6. The Lord lifts up the meek: he casts the wicked down to the ground.
Psalm 149:4. For the Lord takes pleasure in His people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.
Isaiah 11:4. With righteousness He shall judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked.
Isaiah 29:19. The meek shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
The Apostle Paul and the Spirit of Meekness
2 Corinthians 10:1. I entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ.
Galatians 5:22 & 23. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 6:1 if anyone is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore them in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself lest you be tempted.
Ephesians 4:1-3. I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love. Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Colossians 3:12-14. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a quarrel against one: even as Christ forgave you, so also do. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfection.
Titus 3:2. Speak evil of no man, be not a brawler. But be gentle, showing meekness unto all.
1 Timothy 6:11. Follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold of eternal life.
2 Timothy 2:24,25. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.
Our victorious life is found in the Spirit of Meekness
Zephaniah 2:3. Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth, Who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger.
Psalm 45:4. In your majesty ride victoriously, on behalf of truth, meekness and justice.
Let your right hand display awesome things.

Psalm 123:2. Behold, as the eyes of servants are directed to the hands of their masters, and as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes are directed to the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.

The Greeks used the word praus to describe a warhorse fully trained for battle. One who could be relied upon to heed the voice of his rider (master), even in the chaos of battle. Meekness is submission to the spirit of the Lord. Humility is certainly a prerequisite to being a faithful servant. Obedience, consistent reliance upon the Holy Spirit, and not in our own ability, marks one as meek.
Galatians 6:1. Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
Meekness requires us to fully identify with one another as sinners, in need of a savior. We cannot correct one another by 'talking down' to one another. I believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Truth, because everything it says about man, and his sinful nature, I have found to be true in me.

Above all this, meekness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. Hence, James writes:
James 1:19. So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
Swift to hear what? The voice of the Spirit!
