00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:15,494
Welcome to the intercessor's corner where life's questions

2
00:00:15,494 --> 00:00:18,214
and topics are met with biblical truth and

3
00:00:18,214 --> 00:00:19,355
spirit led wisdom.

4
00:00:19,894 --> 00:00:22,554
Here's this week's work to fuel and fortify

5
00:00:22,774 --> 00:00:23,914
your prayer walk.

6
00:00:26,454 --> 00:00:29,914
Hello, and welcome to divine five one five.

7
00:00:30,769 --> 00:00:33,729
Today's episode is talking about the power of

8
00:00:33,729 --> 00:00:34,229
humility

9
00:00:34,850 --> 00:00:36,229
in Christian relationships.

10
00:00:37,329 --> 00:00:39,989
I wanna start the conversation today by

11
00:00:40,369 --> 00:00:42,309
saying that pride wins arguments,

12
00:00:43,114 --> 00:00:44,574
but humility preserves

13
00:00:44,954 --> 00:00:45,454
relationships.

14
00:00:46,875 --> 00:00:49,054
The scripture that I'm coming from today

15
00:00:49,354 --> 00:00:51,994
is Philippians the second chapter and the third

16
00:00:51,994 --> 00:00:52,494
verse.

17
00:00:53,434 --> 00:00:55,454
Do nothing out of selfish ambition

18
00:00:55,914 --> 00:00:57,134
or vain conceit.

19
00:00:57,719 --> 00:00:58,939
Rather in humility,

20
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:00,460
value others

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:01,820
above yourselves.

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,739
Humility is strength under control.

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,299
In God's kingdom, greatness is not measured by

24
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:12,299
how high we rise, but

25
00:01:12,935 --> 00:01:15,834
rather by how willing we are to kneel.

26
00:01:17,174 --> 00:01:20,234
Putting our others first is not weakness.

27
00:01:21,015 --> 00:01:22,715
It is a kingdom principle

28
00:01:23,415 --> 00:01:24,474
modeled by

29
00:01:24,790 --> 00:01:26,409
the Messiah Jesus Christ

30
00:01:26,709 --> 00:01:27,209
himself.

31
00:01:28,869 --> 00:01:30,329
When we choose humility,

32
00:01:31,269 --> 00:01:32,090
we reflect

33
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:33,609
the heart of Jesus

34
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:37,209
and the desire of the king.

35
00:01:38,974 --> 00:01:40,674
When we kneel before God,

36
00:01:41,295 --> 00:01:43,075
pride begins to lose its grip.

37
00:01:44,415 --> 00:01:48,094
Prayer exposes our blind spots and reshapes our

38
00:01:48,094 --> 00:01:48,594
tone.

39
00:01:49,135 --> 00:01:52,334
It reveals where ego has replaced empathy and

40
00:01:52,334 --> 00:01:53,234
where defensiveness

41
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:54,740
has replaced

42
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:55,620
understanding.

43
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,060
Many relationship

44
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:02,260
conflicts aren't truly about right or wrong.

45
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:06,100
They're actually about who refuses to bend first.

46
00:02:06,974 --> 00:02:09,935
And often, the breakthrough comes when one heart

47
00:02:09,935 --> 00:02:10,435
chooses

48
00:02:10,735 --> 00:02:11,235
humility.

49
00:02:13,935 --> 00:02:16,594
Putting others first doesn't mean

50
00:02:16,895 --> 00:02:17,395
ignoring

51
00:02:17,935 --> 00:02:18,594
the truth

52
00:02:19,455 --> 00:02:21,155
or silencing your voice,

53
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:26,169
But it does mean choosing love over ego.

54
00:02:26,950 --> 00:02:30,230
It means valuing the relationship above winning the

55
00:02:30,230 --> 00:02:30,730
argument.

56
00:02:31,909 --> 00:02:33,770
That is kingdom living.

57
00:02:34,965 --> 00:02:38,425
Humility invites peace into spaces where tension

58
00:02:38,805 --> 00:02:41,625
once lived and prayer is where humility

59
00:02:41,925 --> 00:02:42,665
is cultivated.

60
00:02:43,764 --> 00:02:45,625
The more we kneel before God,

61
00:02:46,260 --> 00:02:48,360
the more he teaches us

62
00:02:48,740 --> 00:02:51,080
how to lower ourselves in love.

63
00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:54,120
And the more we lower ourselves before him,

64
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:56,840
the stronger our relationships will rise.

65
00:02:58,020 --> 00:02:58,840
Let's pray.

66
00:03:01,014 --> 00:03:03,914
Father god, remove pride from my heart.

67
00:03:05,014 --> 00:03:06,634
Teach me to walk in humility

68
00:03:06,935 --> 00:03:08,875
and value others with love.

69
00:03:09,974 --> 00:03:11,034
Shape my responses

70
00:03:11,495 --> 00:03:12,155
to reflect

71
00:03:12,534 --> 00:03:13,914
your son, Jesus Christ.

72
00:03:14,849 --> 00:03:17,509
And we will bless you in Jesus' name.

73
00:03:17,729 --> 00:03:18,229
Amen.

74
00:03:19,969 --> 00:03:20,870
Next week,

75
00:03:21,169 --> 00:03:24,550
we'll be talking about maintaining intimacy with God

76
00:03:24,610 --> 00:03:25,909
in busy seasons.

77
00:03:27,235 --> 00:03:28,534
If you want to continue

78
00:03:28,915 --> 00:03:30,375
growing spiritually and relationally,

79
00:03:31,395 --> 00:03:32,375
hit that follow

80
00:03:32,754 --> 00:03:33,495
right now.

81
00:03:33,795 --> 00:03:36,275
The next breakthrough might just be in the

82
00:03:36,275 --> 00:03:37,254
next episode.

83
00:03:38,115 --> 00:03:39,575
And as always, remember,

84
00:03:40,034 --> 00:03:41,974
there's room at the throne.

85
00:03:47,370 --> 00:03:49,310
