3 Ways to Live a Humble Life and Root Out Pride:

1. Forgive Quickly

A humble person will forgive quickly, will not offend others lightly, and will gladly wait for God’s judgment. If someone is unkind to you, the best thing you can do is forgive them and be kind. I am not suggesting that people should just walk all over you, but we need to do our part and trust God to correct those mistakes.

2. Don’t Boast

God has allowed me to be involved in some extraordinary things around the world, but I can honestly tell you that I have trained myself not to care about those things because they can get you into trouble.

Every time God lets you be involved in something great, you just need to simply say, “Thank you, God, for allowing me to do something; I know it’s not about me, it’s about You!”

3. Be Patient and Wait for Promotion

Don’t be too eager to be in the spotlight, or have your name on the door of an office, or have someone call you boss or leader. God chooses who to put where, and if He puts you there, then be humble in your position and do what God wants you to do.

Even if He asks you to clean toilets, do it gladly; you are not rewarded for doing something great, you are rewarded for obeying God and being willing to do what God asks you to do.

Humility and patience are probably the two most difficult virtues to acquire. But the truth is, all impatience is a sign of pride, if I can't stand waiting for a promotion or anything, it's because I feel I'm too important to wait and I should get what I want right away.

To truly live a confident, humble life, you need to remember where your abilities come from. If you are the more gifted person, then you should become the more humble person, and only with this attitude can God's glory be fully manifested through your life.

Disconnect and break:

In the name of Jesus Christ, disconnect and break the following forces that cause pride and arrogance:

1. Continuously increasing achievements and success will lead to people becoming more and more proud and no longer relying on God.

Lest I be full and deny You, And say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ (Proverbs 30:9)

I will break the pride of your power; I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. (Leviticus 26:19)

Do not trust in oppression, Nor vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them. (Psalm 62:10)

2. Love to compare, see yourself as better than others, have no mercy, and lead to pride.

In lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. (Philippians 2:3)

You should have a heart like Christ Jesus. What does it look like specifically? That is And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:8)

God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble. (James 4:6)

By pride comes nothing but strife, But with the well-advised is wisdom. (Proverbs 13:10)

3. Thinking that one is superior to others in spiritual or worldly knowledge, showing off greatly, leads to pride.

Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. (1 Corinthians 8:1)

Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed. (1 Samuel 2:3)

4. Considering oneself equal to God and following the desires of one's own heart leads to pride.

Once our self-identification is contrary to God's Word: then we are trapped in self-justification, which is a form of pride.

I will break the pride of your power; I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. (Leviticus 26:19)

In order to turn man from his deed, And conceal pride from man. (Job 33:17)

Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Though they join forces, none will go unpunishe. (Proverbs 16:5)

5. Pride rooted in racism or sexism, or in occupation, academic, religion, culture, nationality or any form of pride, considering oneself superior and others inferior; being proud of someone or something leads to pride.

He beholds every high thing; He is king over all the children of pride. (Job 41:34)

When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom. (Proverbs 11:2)

In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, But the lips of the wise will preserve them. (Proverbs 14:3)

6. Because of some injuries or abuses in the past or childhood, the heart is bitter, self-enclosed, and self-rejected, leading to pride.

Not only do we not allow God's healing to come to those areas of trauma and bitterness, but we also think that His power is limited, and we are unwilling to let the flesh die because of our belief in the Lord's love, and even think that God caused those terrible things to happen to us.

Their hearts are wrapped in fat; they speak proud words with their mouths. (Psalm 17:10)

In the name of Jesus Christ, take up the sword of the Holy Spirit and cut off all sin connections, sin curses, and sin influences brought about by these sins by the precious blood of Jesus. In the name of Jesus Christ, I take the sword of the Holy Spirit and cut them all off, draw a blood line with my precious blood, and stand in the middle with the cross.

In the holy name of Jesus Christ, I command all the powers of retribution not to cross the cross; in the holy name of Jesus Christ, I also disconnect and close the spiritual channels and doors that are open to the enemy because of these sins, and the precious blood is poured out, and the cross is inserted on it. Because of the precious blood shed by Jesus Christ on the cross, all curses and altars of all enemies are destroyed and broken.

In the holy name of Jesus Christ, all the altars of pride and arrogance set up by the enemy in my home, the altars of love for competition and comparison, the altars of arrogance and judgment, the altars of bitterness and unforgiving anger, the altars of self-righteousness, the altars of jealousy and hatred, the altars of pride and arrogance, the altars of nitpicking and love of accusation, the altars of inferiority and self-rejection, the altars of stubbornness and rebellion, the altars of greed and selfishness, and the altars that honor oneself more than honoring God are broken and destroyed.

In the holy name of Jesus Christ, all altars are broken, cleansed by the precious blood, burned by the raging fire, and a cross is inserted in the middle of each altar, blocking it, making it ineffective and never to be used.
