FOR THUS SAYS THE HIGH AND LOFTY ONE WHO INHABITS ETERNITY, WHOSE NAME IS HOLY: "I DWELL IN THE HIGH AND HOLY PLACE, WITH HIM WHO HAS A CONTRITE AND HUMBLE SPIRIT, TO REVIVE THE SPIRIT OF THE HUMBLE, AND TO REVIVE THE SPIRIT OF THE HUMBLE, AND TO REVIVE THE HEART OF THE CONTRITE ONES

ISAIAH 57:15

THEREFORE HUMBLE YOURSELVES UNDER THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD, HTAT HE MAY EXALT YOU IN DUE TIME, CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM FOR HE CARES FOR YOU. BE SOBER (SELF-CONTROLLED), BE VIGILANT (WATCHFUL); BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. RESIST HIM, STEADFAST IN THE FAITH, KNOWING THAT THE SAME SUFFERINGS ARE EXPERIENCED BY YOUR BROTHERHOOD IN THE WORLD.

1 PETER 5:6-9

"GOD RESIST THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."
THEREFORE SUBMIT TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU. CLEANSE YOUR HANDS, YOU SINNERS; AND PURIFY YOUR HEARTS, YOU DOUBLE-MINDED. LAMENT AND MOURN AND WEEP! lET YOUR LAUGHTER BE TURNED TO MOURNING AND YOUR JOY TO GLOOM. HUMBLE YOURSELVES IN THE SIGHT OF THE lORD, AND HE WILL LIFT YOU UP.

JAMES 4:6-10

NOW SALVATION, AND STRENGTH, AND THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD, AND THE POWER OF HIS CHRIST HAVE COME, FOR THE ACCUSER OF OUR BRETHREN, WHO ACCUSED THEM BEFORE OUR GOD DAY AND NIGHT, HAS BEEN CAST DOWN. AND THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND BY THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY, AND THEY DID NOT LOVE THEIR LIVES TO THE DEATH.

REVELATION 12:10-11
