Shalom,  

Today I want to share this from Kenneth Copeland's Faith To Faith Devotional:

And be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble. – 1 Peter 5:5

Most believers don't know anything about true humility. If you tell them they're the righteousness of God, they'll fight to keep from believing it. You can give them scripture references to prove it, and they'll still argue.

"Oh no," they'll say, "I'm not righteous. I'm just an old sinner saved by grace." They're making a sincere attempt to be humble. But they're sincerely wrong. They're so afraid of being exalted by pride that they've let Satan trick them into falling right into it.

Let me show you what I mean. According to 1 Peter 5:5-6, to be truly humble is to submit to God. That means when God says something, you believe it no matter how foreign to your "religious" thinking it may be. When He says you've been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, you say that too. In fact, you wouldn't dare say anything else because to do so would be to dare to disagree with God. And, when you get right down to it, that's the ultimate form of pride, isn't it?

Don't let Satan keep you groveling in the dust of false humility. Agree with God. Find out what His Word says about you, then be bold enough to say it yourself. Banish pride by submitting to His truth. Clothe yourself in true humility. It's sure to look good on you.

Scripture Reading: 1 Peter 5:5-11

Read 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 says:

¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.¹⁸ All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.²⁰ Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. ²¹ For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Do YOU know who YOU are - IN HIM? The most vital thing you can do for you life, once you have received Jesus as Lord and personal Savior, is to find out who you are because HE, by the Holy Spirit, lives in YOU! We are meant to be the presence  of Jesus Himself in the earth! In order to do that, we MUST humble ourselves to accept this that we do NOT, on our own, deserve! We must be about our Father's business of seeking and saving the lost! We CANNOT do that unless we have the full confidence that comes from the Bible knowledge of who we are! We are Ambassadors for Him, in this earth, and we CAN DO all that He requires us to do! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "To Know Your Name":

Shalom in Him!
