The Honor Academy Christ's Humility.

Before I came here I had eyes for the kingdom the Lord has always stirred up so much vision within me, sometimes that's dangerous because I don't focus on what is at hand because I have an old soul that is longing for eternity. Before I came here living with the girls and across the street from the guys, and having our prayer room. And my humanitarian efforts to save the world in my own strength and putting Christs label on it through my vain ambitions. I wanted the kingdom on earth but I never had a taste of it, so I didn't know how to incorporate it into the ministry I was trying to muster up. I wanted to have humility and love, but I didn't understand what it meant to have a heart of repentence. I truly came to understand this during the fasting LTE, the heart of repentence the heart of humility, for God's Glory. The Lord will NEVER EVER use the proud, he detests them, and he will never be used in a great magnitude if you never plead with him to come in a great magnitude. I relied on my own heart that was weak and lacked love yet I wanted this fallen broken world to experience the Love of God.


The Honor Academy instilled some small priniciples and put them under the magnifying glass that the Lord looks at them under. I put a hault to my prideful heart, that wanted big things, and I started to pay attention to the small things that would be done in secret and honor God in a big way. I'm trying to articulate the little things that I overlooked in the past, I ran off some spiritual high and had zeal that was misguided, misplaced, and wreckless in it's expression. The Lord humbled me just like he came with humility spoke in parables to the people, and I understood kingdom things in a practical every day way.I was thinking how can I articulate this and I came up with this as I was contemplating I thought,

Maybe the fullness of the depths of God are found in the simple characteristics, principles, and honor that one contains with excellence for a higher Glory than their own. As simple as they are, the fullness of God dwells in the small things that are not too small for Jesus to cover with his blood, so that we may be found with the very character that reflects the thorough sufficiency of Jesus Christs humility.

I know I can word it better.. but for now that conveys that we can grasp the hand of eternity, vision, and the kingdom by the small submissions that we give to God in the work place, in relationships, in responsibilities, and words and actions by every little thing we do every time we turn to God we're saying Lord I can't do this one small thing, and can't possess this one small characteristic without your grace and love. I am coming to you in humility and say abba I need you in this because I am not too proud to give you the small things in my life that I used to think I could surely conquer on my own. As you have it, I realise that these small things are to be lifted up for your Glory. I have become completely humbled, and insufficient without your blood Lord Jesus!
