Overview

“The Way Up Is Down”
There are universal spiritual laws that govern the success of our lives, and Pride Versus Humility explores one of those vital laws that is often overlooked: “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted” (Matthew 23:12).
With candor and biblical force, Derek Prince confronts central issues concerning pride and humility. As always, what he shares is not only insightful but also immensely practical. Ranging from the vital role of humility as we draw closer to God, to the absolute necessity for humility in any position of leadership, to the indispensable role of humility in our relationships with others, the contents of this book can have a life-changing impact on you as you learn the hazards of pride and discover God’s perfect pattern for humility.

Top Highlights

“As a matter of fact, we really do not ‘break’ God’s laws—whether they are physical or spiritual. If we go against them, they actually break us.” (source)

“Humility is not a ‘nice, religious emotion.’ As a matter of fact, it really does not operate primarily in the area of the emotions. Sometimes we try to ‘feel’ humble, and we check ourselves to see if we are really feeling humble enough. That is a mistake. Rather than being in the area of the emotions, humility is in the area of the will. Furthermore, it is expressed in action. We can and we must humble ourselves by a decision of our wills. No one else can do this for us—we must do it for ourselves.” (source)

“Everything that pushes me lower, everything that strips me of the last vestige of pride or arrogance or self-reliance—that is the pathway to my exaltation. The lower I go, the higher God lifts me. The less I have in myself, the more I can receive from God. When I am weak, then I am strong. Why? Because God’s power is made perfect in our weaknesses.” (source)

“We must not promote ourselves. We must wait to be promoted.” (source)

“It is not a denial of God’s sovereignty in the universe. It is simply a personal decision that we can do without Him” (source)
