by Overseer Prophet Daniel Powell Sr.
In Foundation class Prophet Powell, Sr. taught on being poor in spirit, which is to have a humble spirit. We must first be humble before Christ begins to build.
Poor in Spirit
He will not lay the foundation on one that is proud or fights His will. By not being poor in spirit, we won’t ever be meek to hunger or thirst for Him. We get life from Him. Humbling yourself to the word of God means you already know that persecution, being lied to, and talked about is going to happen.
One that is poor in spirit does not have an attitude they depart from evil. “The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who keeps his way preserves his soul. Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.” (Proverbs 16:17-19 NKJV). If you are poor in spirit, you can always do better.
If not, you will be destroyed due to pride. Jesus Christ is our ultimate example that we have to go through things in our lives and have to know that He will bring us through them; that is being poor in spirit. Again the Lord can’t start building if we can’t take persecutions with joy in knowing that they will come. As we stand and Christ builds, the things we go through will get stronger, but God is building a structure through us that can stand and hold His glory and anointing.
In closing, we were chosen to be persecuted, lied on, talked evil about, called false teachers and prophets. If we are in the spirit, then persecutions, which is flesh, should not bother us. When we are poor in spirit, we are in a high and lofty place, and fleshly things can’t touch us, and we won’t complain. Lastly, when we are poor in spirit, we walk in revival every day because God knows that He has to revive our spirit and heart because the attacks and tests try to kill us out or cause us to fail.
