The Meek Video — Studying the Beatitudes
In this video we continue to study the Beatitudes and the next one is the Meek. In Matthew 5 the Lord reveals the attributes of the blessed in the Beatitudes. My sister, Rosary, received the revelation that the Beatitudes are actually a progression of the soul as it becomes more Christ-like. We will study them with this in mind. Read this excerpt of the video transcript to get an idea of what it means to be meek. A spiritually meek person is not a milquetoast pansy. They are humble and self-disciplined. They operate in power without being ostentatious. I hope you watch the entire video. It is full of spiritual gold nuggets.
Different translations of the Bible interchange the words “meek” and the word “humble.” The definition of meek is “enduring injury with patience without resentment.” A humble person is “not proud or haughty, not arrogant or assertive.” When we combine these definitions, we see the attributes of a kind, gentle, forgiving person who is confident within themselves. The ones whom the Lord calls “meek” are humble, and self-disciplined; they do not respond to injury in the natural way, but yield to the Lord’s leading.
I hope you will view the video and use the scriptural references below the video to do your own study. The Spirit will guide you and lead you to the verses that will inspire you to desire further intimacy with HIM.
