HUMILITY AND HONOR

I speak to those who have become weary and discouraged in your souls.  I have chosen you to be holy and set apart to Me as a special treasure.  You are My precious sons and daughters and as a loving Father I discipline those that I love.  I AM with you in these wilderness places.  I lead you through them to humble you, to test you, and to show you what is in your heart so that you will learn to obey My Word, to walk in My ways and to fear Me.  I have chosen you in order to bless you to possess and to rule over your Kingdom inheritance in the earth.  I discipline you to do you good in the end.  The riches of your inheritance in Christ are godliness and honor and life, but these come by humility and the fear of the Lord.
Do not shrink back from this work of humility that I AM doing in your life.  It is My grace which gives you the power to get the wealth and substance of your inheritance.  I resist the proud and give My grace to those who are broken in heart and humble in the spirit of their minds, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the broken ones. The tears, the trials, and the suffering are instruments of discipline which produce the desired humility necessary to rule well in My Kingdom.  You have been justified by grace to become heirs of grace.  That grace is My power and those who hold power must be humble in spirit in order to rule righteously.  You are My sons and daughters whom I love and I AM raising you up according to My timing and purposes for My glory.  It is by My glory and goodness that you are called to know Me and to know My ways so that you can rule well. My divine power gives to you all things that are appropriate for the riches of godliness, honor, and life.
Put aside weariness and discouragement and receive the humility that comes through My loving discipline in this season.  You will soon see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!
