We encounter Jesus, we respond in humbleness, not arrogance!
In Acts chapter 9, the Superior encounters the inferior and there is no mistake which one Paul is.
Jesus spoke in Acts chapter 9:
3 As Saul journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from Heaven.
4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a Voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”
6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one.
8 Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Saul went from arrogant to humble as Paul in one encounter with Jesus.
Paul later write by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 2:
1 Look at how much encouragement you’ve found in your relationship with the Anointed One! You are filled to overflowing with His comforting Love. You have experienced a deepening friendship with the Holy Spirit and have felt His tender affection and mercy.
2 So I’m asking you, my friends, that you be joined together in perfect unity—with one heart, one passion, and united in one Love. Walk together with one harmonious purpose and you will fill my heart with unbounded joy.
3 Be free from pride-filled opinions, for they will only harm your cherished unity. Don’t allow self-promotion to hide in your hearts, but in authentic humility put others first and view others as more important than yourselves.
4 Abandon every display of selfishness. Possess a greater concern for what matters to others instead of your own interests.
5 And consider the example that Jesus, the Anointed One, has set before us. Let His mindset become your motivation.
As we mature in walking in the Divine Nature of Christ, we will walk in the mindset of Christ. We will see people as Jesus sees them. We will no longer be reluctant to pray for the sick. Our generosity will increase as will our compassion for those in need.
Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 14:
7 When Jesus noticed how the guests for the meal were all vying for the seats of honor, he shared this story with the guests around the table:
8 “When you are invited to an important social function, don’t be quick to sit near the head of the table, choosing for yourself a seat of honor. What will happen to you when someone arrives who is more distinguished than you?
9 The host will bring him over to where you are sitting and ask for your seat, saying in front of all the guests, ‘You’re in the wrong place. Please give this person your seat.’ Disgraced, you will have to take whatever seat is left.
10 Instead, when you’re invited to a banquet, you should choose to sit in the lowest place. When your host comes and sees you there, he may say, ‘My friend, come with me and let me seat you in a better place.’ Then, in front of all the other guests at the banquet, he will honor you by seating you in the place of highest respect.
11 “Remember this: everyone with a lofty opinion of who he is and who seeks to raise himself up will be publicly humbled. And everyone with a modest opinion of who he is and chooses to humble himself will be raised up before all.”
We are to prefer others over ourselves.
12 Then Jesus turned to his host and said, “When you throw a banquet, don’t just invite your friends, relatives, or rich neighbors—for it is likely they will return the favor.
13-14 It is better to invite those who never get an invitation. If you invite the poor to your banquet, along with the outcast, the handicapped, and the blind—those who could never repay you the favor, then you will experience a great blessing in this life, and at the resurrection of the Godly you will receive a full reward.”
As we walk in power and authority in the Name of Jesus Christ, it is critical to maintain humility. We must not allow ourselves to be exalted but instead point to Christ in every situation. After all, we are simply the delivery person of His power and authority. You don’t praise and exalt the UPS delivery driver for doing his job.
