"Every time I humbled myself to TRUTH (eventually leading to YHWH's TRUTH) and NOT to the will of men and women wallowing in falsehood and false doctrine I was blessed with MORE TRUTH from the Father."

Humbling ourself to the truth = humbling ourself, by the power of Yeshua's grace, to obey Yeshua:

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, that ye resist not
evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the
law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitfully use you, and
persecute you; That ye may be children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and
on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?
do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the
publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matthew 7:38-48)

"He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him . . .If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." (John 14:21,23)

For the love of Yeshua let us humble ourselves - not to the false authority, doctrines and traditions of men - but to the TRUTH that Yeshua preached and lived. If we do this - continuing in his word - he and the Father will come and make their abode with us. Then we will be blessed with a deeper relationship with Yeshua which, as yet, perhaps many of us cannot comprehend - until we obey Yeshua daily humbling ourself/denying ourself/taking up the cross to our self-will - taking up the cross to our love of money, to the lust of the eyes, to the lust of the flesh, to the pride of life etc.)

Therefore true humbleness and humility = loving and obeying Yeshua without compromise.
