LOVE IS HUMBLE AND GENTLE

My Dear Precious Child,
    Many of My children who are members of denominations become prideful that they are members of a certain church.  Certain churches think that they are the only way to real salvation.  In the presence of that attitude, the controlling demonic spirit is pride, just like endeavoring to be the greatest at anything is fostered by the demon of pride.  Jesus Christ taught two parables about that danger, teaching that wanting to be the greatest or the best or better than anyone comes from the demon of pride, and He told His followers that pride always goes before a fall.  Jesus Christ knew that the devil pumps you up with pride and makes you important to other people, and then he cuts you down to the ground and makes you lower than the worms in the earth, condemned and criticized by people.  Then the devil holds a celebration in hell for getting back at Me by ruining the life of one of My children.
    Jesus Christ said that anyone who seeks to become greatest in My kingdom of heaven becomes great by being humble, by taking a seat at the back of the congregation. (Matthew 23:1-6) After He ministered healing and casting demons out of people, He often, Himself, would sneak out the back door or disappear into the crowds who gathered in order not to call attention to Himself.  He even said that He was not the One who did the miraculous works, but instead that it was Me who worked the miracles through Him.  Christ Jesus was void of any pride.  If you will notice in the life of Jesus Christ, He told His disciples on several occasions not to tell anyone that He was My Son.  He did not crave notoriety.  He craved alone time in which He communed with Me where He received My revelations so that He could teach them to His own disciples. 
    Christ Jesus was never arrogant but instead He was gentle and humble.  His gentleness is what attracted children to Him. (Luke 18:16) In His ministry, He ministered with gentleness and kindness to everyone.  He was not like the Pharisees who wanted praise for their good works.  Christ Jesus was the opposite.  He wanted to do My work and then disappear into the crowds or into his secret place of prayer.   He even said to come to Him if you are loaded with heavy burdens and He will give you rest for your soul because He is meek and lowly of heart and you will find rest for your soul.  (Matthew 11;29) If He had been prideful and arrogant, he never would have attracted the multitudes of people to hear Him teach and watch Him minister to people.  It was His gentleness of soul that drew the crowds to Him.  He neither had an ego that wanted to toot His own horn nor did He have insecurities that caused Him to need to exalt Himself above anyone.  After all, He humbled Himself and came to earth as a carpenter's son.  He could have come to earth as the son of a king, but He was too humble and gentle to exalt Himself.   Because of His humility in His earthly ministry, I eventually exalted Him by inviting Him to sit in My right-hand seat of honor in My kingdom of heaven. 
    The people in My body of Christ in the earth need some of His humility and gentleness in your world today.  Some of My children seek to be the greatest even though Jesus Christ warned against it.  They do not realize that it is the same demon of pride that precipitated the fall from grace of the first man, Adam.  Today in your world, it is their lack of spiritual power operating in their lives that cause them to want to be greater than other people.  If they had the power of My Holy Spirit in operation in their lives, He would caution them on the lack of humility and gentleness in their attitudes.  They choose to have authoritative power over other people instead of their having authoritative power over the demons who curse themselves and the earth.  They neither know the scriptures nor do they know My power over evil, as Christ Jesus described them. (Matthew 22:29)  They make their battles with humans, desiring to be the greatest among them, instead of their making their battles with the demonic principalities and powers of the air.  They continue making their battles with people even though My Holy Spirit said through the apostle Paul that your battles are never with flesh and blood but instead your only battles are with the demons who are in control of the earth and in truth are in control of the fleshly minds of My competitive children as shown by their ignorance of My Book of Insight and Wisdom, called the Bible. (Ephesians 6:12)  They don't even have control over their own passions, how can they be greater than anyone?  Their fall will be great when the human instigators of their pride fall from power and take their followers with them. 
   Christ Jesus said for His followers to baptize people in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and to tell His followers to observe ALL commands that He taught to them.  (Matthew 28:18-20)  Twice He told them not to desire to be the greatest in anything because He knew that if they did yield to that demon of pride that they are in for something great, and it's not being greater than anyone;  They have chosen a great fall from My grace.
    All of the warnings of Christ Jesus come from My love for you because you are My child.  I know your enemy, the devil, and I know his plan for you which is destruction and death.  ALL of My commands through Jesus were given to warn you about the strategies of the devil in his setting traps for you.  You have a protector and He is Jesus Christ who speaks to you through My Holy Spirit.  Jesus Christ said for those who have ears to hear, let him hear.  In other words, He was saying to you to LISTEN TO HIS WARNINGS.  He told you not to desire to be greater than anyone but instead for you to become a servant of everyone.    
   Humble yourself and let Me exalt you instead of your desiring to exalt yourself over anyone at the temptation of the devil.
    Your Humble and Gentle Father
