How to Humble Your Soul

I remember years ago I preached this kind of message in Washington D.C. And there was a lawyer there, a Christian lawyer, and he got the message and he thought, “I’m going to do it.” So, tomorrow I’m going to fast.

What he did, he had a miserable day. Every time he walked past a restaurant, he could smell the food. Every time he walked past a confectionary, he would stop and look in the window. It was just a miserable day.

So, at the end of the day, he gave his stomach a lecture. And he said, “Now, stomach, you’ve made a lot of trouble for me today. You’ve caused me a lot of unnecessary discomfort. So, for that, I’m going to punish you. I’m going to fast tomorrow as well.”

See, that is humbling yourself. It’s bringing it into subjection.
