Humbleness Comes with Age!

 

Humbleness Comes with Age: 

A Journey Through Spiritual Growth

Life is a journey, and with every year, we step closer to understanding the deeper truths of our existence. For many of us, the concept of humility—true humbleness—is something we grow into over-time. It is not an innate trait, but a transformative process fueled by life's experiences, spiritual awakening, and our relationship with God.

In this journey, we can observe five distinct stages of spiritual and personal growth, represented by the five types of people on Earth: The Wicked, Non-Believers, Believers, Soldiers, and Warriors. 

Each stage corresponds to different phases of life and spiritual maturity.

1. The Wicked: Prideful and Rebellious

Average Age Range: 30 and up

The Wicked actively oppose God and righteousness, often consumed by pride, selfishness, and rebellion. Without humility, they are hardened to the point of rejecting divine wisdom and grace. Their lives are marked by resistance to spiritual truths, leading them down paths that separate them from God’s eternal paradise.

Why They Lack Humility:

Humility requires surrender, and The Wicked cling to control and self-glorification. Without the Holy Ghost, they lack the power to humble themselves and align with God’s will.

2. Non-Believers: Searching Without Knowing

Average Age Range: 20–30

Non-Believers are often young adults navigating the complexities of life. They may be ambitious, rebellious, or indifferent to faith. Living without a belief in God or Jesus, they are often trapped in cycles of violence, ignorance, or worldly pursuits.

Why They Struggle with Humility:

At this stage, life revolves around self-discovery and immediate gratification. Humility is often absent because they lack the spiritual foundation needed to ground their actions and attitudes.

3. Believers: Awakening to the Truth

Average Age Range: 30–40

Believers represent a pivotal turning point. Around the age of 30, life often delivers a wakeup call—whether through personal struggles, losses, or revelations. These experiences lead many to recognize their need for faith and begin their journey toward Christ.

Humility Emerges:

This is the stage where humbleness begins to take root. As 1 Corinthians 13:11 reminds us:
"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, and I made plans like a child. When I became a man, I stopped those childish ways."

This shift marks the shedding of prideful and immature behaviors as Believers strive to align their lives with God’s purpose.

4. Soldiers: Committed to the Faith

Average Age Range: 40–50

Soldiers are devout followers of Christ who serve and protect their faith with unwavering commitment. They have matured through their relationship with Jesus and are armed with HOLY GHOST POWER. Humility becomes their strength, allowing them to lead others toward Christ through love and service.

Why Soldiers Are Humble:

By this stage, life has taught them the value of surrender, trust, and obedience. They understand that true greatness lies in serving God and others, not in elevating themselves.

5. Warriors: Spiritually Strong and Unwavering

Average Age Range: 50 and up

Warriors represent the pinnacle of spiritual growth. These are individuals who have lived a life rooted in faith, equipped with spiritual strength and unwavering dedication to God. Warriors are humble because they fully recognize their dependence on God’s grace.

The Ultimate Humility:

Warriors live on God’s Holy Mountain, embodying His teachings and serving as beacons of light in a dark world. Their humility is a testament to their lifelong journey of faith, love, and surrender.

Why Humbleness Requires Holy Ghost Power

Humility is not something we can achieve on our own. It requires the transformative power of the HOLY GHOST, which comes through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. 

As John 14:16 says:
"I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper to be with you forever."

This Helper empowers us to release pride, embrace love, and walk humbly with our God. Without Him, we remain trapped in cycles of selfishness and rebellion.
