I never heard of a ladder of humilty, it doesn't even symbolise humilty in bibical dream and vision interpretation. A ladder is for a way out. I know this vision was of me.

Thanks. I'm always blessed by  the OH ministry.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns -- August 5, 2010:

Be humble, says the Lord, for the proud cannot receive correction. Call this a course correction, for I am bringing correction to you, My chosen ones, so that you can stay on the course I have prepared for you. This is not a time to deviate even slightly from My plan and purposes. These are days of great evil, and the enemy is looking for ways to stop you and keep you from My best. Be vigilant!

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Perhaps the ladder is the path to pull the person from the pit of false humility and into the reality of truly being humbled.

Webster was a Christian so my preference is to chose that dictionary for study of words.  Humility is the quality or state of being humble.  Thus, humble as a noun means:

1.  Not proud or haughty; not arrogant or assertive

2.  Reflecting, expressing or offered in a spirit of submission

3.  Ranking low in heirarchy or scale; insignificant; unpretentious; not costly or luxurious

My reflection here is that the ladder is there to bring someone from the pit. With humility written on its side is clearly the path to bring from the pit...

So Lord, to whomever this word is for, may they bow humbly exalting You as Lord and step onto the ladder of freedom from the pit in the name of Jesus...And Pappa, keep us all submitted to Your perfect will for our lives, severing all within us that would try to rise up with any prideful adoration...teach us the clear path of humility this day and always ~

This is a specific word for someone/s that God is ready and more than willing to restore to a former place in Him they have fallen from.  I can't add much to the clarity of this vision/word, but I do want to share what God has given me as I pondered it. 

Ps 40:1-2

1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, [a hole, a cistern, a prison, dangers and calamities] out of the miry [sticky, the idea of dirt to be swept away, figuratively, calamity] clay [dregs, mud], and set my feet upon a rock, [A place of strength and safety] and established my goings [Kept me from falling into mischief].

The point of interpretation can often be clairified by scripture. This vision of the pit is described in scriptures, over and over.  Look at the original, descriptive language in this portion of scripture - very rich with meaning indeed - root words of cistern, calamity, dregs, sticky muddy places...

When the Lord releases a word concerning a pit, and is showing a way out, it pretty much speaks for itself. 

Under no circumstances would God ever place any of us back in the pit from which he brought us out; only our own willfulness can do that. [no more than he put the prodigal son in the pig pen]  What He does is allow the law of sowing and reaping to take place with human choices and actions. 

Examples: 

• drugs lead to addiction
• lust leads to affairs of the heart
• pride leads to a fall 

And yes, it is human pride that digs us into many muddy places of instability.  It take humility to admit we were prideful in our own ways and to repent so we can get back out. 

The ladder may represent some steps that need to be taken in order to reverse the issues that brought us down.  

• It may be that one needs to settle some issues between others and themselves. 
• It may be that one needs to forgive others wrongs and let go of bitterness. 
• And it may be ultimately a point of not obeying God's Word, going our own way, making up our own mind, deciding our own steps instead of allowing God to lead and direct us in all our ways. 

I do not believe in a system of human works, but God's Word does teach us that "faith without works is dead."  We can say we believe, but can we obey?  The steps we must take to extricate us from such places of our own making is humbly acknowledging our sin, repentance and obedience to God. 

I really like the message in this word God has given our brother.  We must never diminish a short word or little vision, but dig in and see what the Lord is saying.  God does not have to give a huge dissertation to get our attention.. 

It is very clear that some people have received this word from the Lord that will bring them out of something they have got themselves into, but it is going to take a humble, repentant, forgiving heart to cry out to God for help. 

I believe our brother stated this word was for someone in this condition, someone in a deep place of spiritual conflict.  If this is you, accept it at face value, as given by a brother who stepped out to deliver it.  It is life and hope to someone who needs God today to help them out of something they have got themselves into.

God bless those who are receive this word and find freedom from the pit.

Words I heard in a dream.

Humility flows from Godly obedience!

You may ask how do I become humble? the answer: obey God in what He asks and humility flows from it.
