I had a moment today to display humility and failed miserably. Glory to God for this timely lesson.

Lord have mercy! I am an unworthy sinner.

It's crazy how we spend so much time worrying about politics and wars, but we forget the most important foundation- our faith. Recently l read Mind Decoding by Keezano, and it reminded me that trusting in God, accepting forgiveness, and living with intention are the real keys to living an abundant life, this book truly changed me...

That’s True!!!Humility is the most important virtue 🙏Thank you Father Josiah❤

Zechariah 11:4-17
New King James Version
Prophecy of the Shepherds

4 Thus says the Lord my God, “Feed the flock for slaughter, 5 whose owners slaughter them and feel no guilt; those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich’; and their shepherds do not pity them. 6 For I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land, ” says the Lord. “But indeed I will give everyone into his neighbor’s hand and into the hand of his king. They shall [a]attack the land, and I will not deliver them from their hand.”

7 So I fed the flock for slaughter, [b]in particular the poor of the flock. I took for myself two staffs: the one I called [c]Beauty, and the other I called [d]Bonds; and I fed the flock. 8 I [e]dismissed the three shepherds in one month. My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me. 9 Then I said, “I will not feed you. Let what is dying die, and what is perishing perish. Let those that are left eat each other’s flesh.” 10 And I took my staff, [f]Beauty, and cut it in two, that I might break the covenant which I had made with all the peoples. 11 So it was broken on that day. Thus the[g] poor of the flock, who were watching me, knew that it was the word of the Lord. 12 Then I said to them, “If it is [h]agreeable to you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain.” So they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver.

13 And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—that princely price they set on me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord for the potter. 14 Then I cut in two my other staff, [i]Bonds, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

15 And the Lord said to me, “Next, take for yourself the implements of a foolish shepherd. 16 For indeed I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for those who are cut off, nor seek the young, nor heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand. But he will eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hooves in pieces.

17 “Woe to the worthless shepherd,
Who leaves the flock!
A sword shall be against his arm
And against his right eye;
His arm shall completely wither,
And his right eye shall be totally blinded.”

A perfect break for my emotion studies. Utilizing AI to help me learn and write about the basic emotions and what stems from them and eventually going to write how they connect and their historical greek and latin origins then write about what some early philosophers say about them and perhaps some remedies. All within calligraphy of course. I am excited and am excited to join a new church soon as I am still very new and from a secular family.

[Andrewk]

Not to brag but I’m the most humble person on Earth. Perhaps the Galaxy

[MrIanB]

What you speak of IS reality. Kyrie eleison.

[LoftOfTheUniverse]

It's hard for me to understand humility and work toward it. I feel like either I have it or I don't... And I keep ending up discontent and unsatisfied with life. Often despair even.

[Errmoniker]

Where do i learn about lent in the original 66 books? Coming from a protestant background, i struggle with the idea of lent, or other feast/celebration days

Matthew 7(read the last part carefully)

7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye, ’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”~Jesus

[connorericson]

Peace be with you Father!

A while back I watched a video of yours and in it you described how you responded when someone blasphemy’s our Lord. I can’t seem to find the video in which you spoke of easing your voice and exclaiming the Holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I would like to respond in such a manner 😁

[dguJG]

Can you explain to us the difference between humility and meekness? Because it does sound like Jesus wants us to be meek above even humility

I’ll add I wonder about humble bragging or false humility that many pastors and Christian’s love to do. Things like “I M the king of all sinners!” Like really after decades with the spirit you still actively sin so much your the literal KING of active sins?

Or “I am the least” well as a Christian we all know what you’re really saying just as you do. “I’m the greatest!” By saying your the least and servant of all as an understanding Christian you are saying I am the greatest and king of Christian’s. It’s humble bragging.

Say I used to be the king of sinners now only by surrendering to Jesus has he removed much of my active sin. Yes I’m still unworthy but I’m not the king of active sinners otherwise wtf are we doing with our lives as Christian’s guys?

It’s ok to despise a vile man. ( a man who loves violence for its own sake) psalms…

Or to keep treasure from dogs and boar dangerous people
Be a Shepard Shepards see and look for threats to the sheep even killing them or harming them when needed.

In fact they often judge what is a threat. Judging is discernment and it’s important. But only for true threats those that will maul you and yours. Truly wolves

I noticed at times Father replaces the "s" with an "f" sound - in this specific video, he says "first" and "firft", just curious about it since isn't Father from the US, so there is no underlying accent ?
