Practicing Humility

Pride is an illusion wrapped in a lie, and it's in each of us. It’s our desire for total independence from our Creator, and it makes us feel good because we feel secure and capable. But it never satisfies in the way we think it will. In this episode, Preston and Jackie discuss how keeping God as our reference point is the only way to embrace true humility.

It’s so true. I had been in disobedience to the Lord for so long that He did indeed start taking my mind. It was torment and hell on earth. Praise God for His mercy and grace for leading me back to the truth and teaching me obedience. I’m a work in progress like the rest of the church, but God is so good that as I was being led to be obedient He already started to restore my mental health.

being overly confident can blind someone to their weaknesses or mistakes, eventually leading to their downfall.

[@devingiguere4996]

As someone who has studied childhood trauma and attachment issues, I'm beginning to see the connection issue is everything. Connection to God helps us safely connect to ourselves and others. Being vulnerable as children and being taught our feelings aren't safe and we can't be ourselves has led to untold addiction and bad relationships. Untold.

[@alexisthom6927]

Mrs. Perry!!!! “We feel so vulnerable so we try to find figs leaves to make us feel strong and they still don’t sustain us”!!! Wow!!!

The spirit is truly moving because I had the same conversation with the father and my sister . Pride destroys us, making us unable to see what it really means when the scripture says you have to be like a child to enter the kingdom. It's so deep and truly refreshing to hear it expressed openly ❤

[@CharissaShelton-b1i]

You just opened my eyes because as an emotive person, I pretend I’m not. A WEERRRDDDDD God is so gooooddd

[@wendymadrid4329]

Great conversation! You guys both brought up some points that really made me feel for the first time in my adult life for me to admit that being humble is struggle that I have because my pride would not allow me to say that out loud. And never once have, I considered the fact that shame and pride go hand-in-hand, because there was a lot of trauma as a little girl for me, and it helps me to better understand perhaps where it comes from. I do know that I am trying to create a false safety *net for myself often and that definitely reveals that I’m not fully trusting in God. And I need help. The closing was great where you talked about remembering where all of our good things are qualities are blessings come from, and that definitely should be enough to be so thankful and humble. Thank you for always being super honest because I myself could say that I look up to you guys because of your strong presence online. Don’t get gassed up now. LOL love the Perry’s!

The discussion about insecurity opened up a whole new view of humility for me, thank you

[@paularogito]

Pride for me looks like "wanting to be important than anyone/everyone else" it looks like "I want to be glorified" It takes me back to the fall but I see that in my own behaviour a lot! The whole conversation for me has allowed me to unpack alot. When I choose humility, it's when the Holy Spirit or people call me out. It looks like... "if this will keep me away from God then I cannot have it" Giving up and asking Jesus to give you strength, acceptance and wisdom/discerment to always choose the way that keeps you with Him. Amazing conversation. Loved this episode.

God used your experience to enable me to see the pride that resides in me in relation to not wanting to appear weak in front others due to my early years and being ridiculed for being overly emotive (which at nearly 40 yrs of age I’m still reminded about by my family).. definitely hardened me over time, but never recognised it as pride … love how God uses you two for His glory💯

[@AnointedSigns]

WE BLESS YOUR HOLY NAME, JESUS!!!!! Preston and Jackie can not comprehend how this video has blessed me. God told me, if I don't turn from my pride, it will affect my family for generations and generations to come. Until today, I did not understand (comprehend) the hold it had on me. I did not understand why it is so difficult. It's the vulnerability of it. Being seen as inferior or not qualified/competent. But not only that, if I am inferior or not qualified, STILL TRUSTING GOD in that situation. HALLELUJAH!!! We serve an AWESOME GOD YALL!!!!
