No, humility is a by-product of living with the Spirit and mind of Christ in us.
Obedience to Gods word, also a by-product of the Spirit and mind of Christ in us.

Here's what the Lord said about walking in Humility

1 Peter 5:6 - humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time
2 Timothy 2:21 - If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

Some never allow what the Lord says in His Word to get in the way of what they believe

If you'd like a chance to be taken seriously

So I should bow down and serve you then?
I've searched my heart and I'm not much on idolatry

submission to Gids word won't work

Is Gid the name of your new age spirit guide? The spirit of gid?

It has to be submission to Christ Himself, a real living person.

God and His Word cannot be separated.

John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
John 16:28 - I came forth from the Father
John 10:30 - Jesus said I and my Father are one

Of course the new agers don't know that

I told you I need to know your understanding of what NT faith is.

You didn't answer so back you go.
 
1) Sacrificing self, our lives, is the first element of "bearing our cross".

2) Supernatural simply means "more natural". We're just getting closer to God as we go along.

3) Cheer up saints, it's going to get worse!

1) The principle of Jeremiah 18 is the potter is in charge, and He's going to do what He wants to do.

2) The purpose of Jeremiah 18 is for the perfecting of the saints.

3) The process of Jeremiah 28 is, the potters field is where all the rejected pots are thrown. Christ paid for this field with His life.

I see abased as an inevitable state of being filled with the Holy spirit.

Being abased is the natural state of one who needs to give everything, because the indwelling spirit compelles us to do so.

Becoming abound is the reupping of resources to continue that hilarious giving, on the way back to the blessed state, abounding. Not a place to make our abodes.

Of course in our part of the world, abased might look like abounding in other countries. We should always remember that.
Must be a different meaning ill have to chk on what your trying to...
lets meet here.
While the Holy Spirit will break a person's Pride, the ultimate state of being filled with the Spirit is one of Empowerment, love, and spiritual freedom, not continuous abasement. i rather just use english words that they translated in kjv using other words fancy words that only look good doesn't help out , thats a form of abase put down fancy speach. So yeah i try not to use words not used in the kjv. This keeps the field level and understanding plain .

Basement isn't a fruit of the spirit, giving is the fruit of the spirit. If we're not givers, we can't be a Christian.

Being abased is more of a choice. This is the path I've chosen.

1) When you put an offering on the altar and turn loose of it, you have "sainted it". That is where the word comes from.
It's not about perfection, but commitment posture.

2) Without freedom, there's no trust. Without freedom, there's no love. And God wants trust and love freely given.
And to get it, He unleashed a monster called " freedom. "

3) There's no one deed that is the "unpardonable sin." It's a state of mind that produces a condition of no conscience.
It's when someone turns away from what they formally approved.

1) Hardening of the heart comes from the decietfulness of sin.

2) The hardening process goes forward until at last , the condition of hardness is reached.
It is the result of refusing to listen to conscious, and not faithing, continually surrendering our lives to Him and living a life inspired by such surrender.

3) If the pressure is between you and God, it will destroy you. If the pressure drives you to God, it will make you.

1) When the word of God is grafted onto us, we become " living epistles".

2) Spirituality leads to cross bearing.
Cross bearing does not lead to Spirituality.

3) Christianity gets tougher, not easier.

4) The faith God wants, ( the continually surrendered life) is "tested and tried faith".

Satan tries to twist the truth of the word, just enough to deceive.

Satan will say, You can serve God and still keep ourselves first.

1) The two hardest things to teach are the resurrection and the giving of money.

2) 2 Cor. 8 and 9,
The ultimate proof of the genuineness of Gods Spirit in you , is how you give.

3) Able brought offerings Gods way, and got killed.
