I lost my wife to cancer after 37 years I am going thru this right now it hurts so bad but all my hope is in Jesus Christ I'm being drawn to complete surrender to him I trust God I can't wait to enter heaven and finally arrive home God is my treasure
I'm so sorry for your loss. I just lost my dad and mom is in ICU. I know it's not the same. I lost the love of my life 37 years ago. My heart hurts for you. Please lean in to God and allow him to comfort you. Sending prayers and hugs. 🫂 🙏🏻
I heard very clearly, 4 years ago,after the death of my husband, come out from amongst them. I have grown so close to God in this time of isolation. I dont need anything in this world but my Lord. He has supplied every I need. Being widowed at 71 ,lose of of income, lose of every thing i owned, homeless for a time, but God supples every need. I have peace and joy ,I ve never had before.
I have been going through all these stages, I am broken down. I feel I am at the last stage and barely holding my strength after all these tests. But I see things starting to change, and I pray I stll have the strength to continue on. My faith has become stronger through it all. If anyone can pray for me i would appreciate it ❤
★★ Isaiah 40:27-31. + ★Psalm 62, ★Ps.138 + 34. He is perfecting that which concerns you. In Job it is written, "He knows the way thay i take, & when he has tried me I shall come forth as gold.". & also, "The Lord God Jah will make a man to be purer than the golden wedge of Ophir.". Praying for you Jo.
Be encouraged. Many of us are going through the same. It is like you are hit, fall down, and as you arise, you get another beating. But, let us be of good cheer, greater is He that is in us than He that is in the world. Remember also, in our weakness, we are strong. This is the Word of God and our Messiah. We are strong! We are strong! We are strong! In Yeshua’s Name - Amen!!
Dear Lord may we die daily and keep our eyes on the prize on Jesus victory belongs to Jesus and if God be for us who dare be against us! When we are weak He is strong! We want to hear well done good and faithful servant so in Jesus name I pray for surrender in all that means to Almighty God!
Your intro resonates with me as I do believe the few that are chosen means very few are willing to drink of Jesus' cup of woe and be baptized with His baptism of bitterness. So being chosen is about the choice we make to serve Jesus whatever the cost.
The Bible is clear on so many things, especially on His Chosen. The Chosen are those who seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness - Matt 6:33. Heb 11 is a great place to start to see the truth of what makes His people acceptable in His sight. If we don't deal with sin in our lives and see it from God's perspective, nothing else matters in our relationship with God. BTW, Jesus wasn't in the wilderness for 40 days to get alone, but to be tempted of the devil.
Praise and Glory to our living God through Jesus Christ Amen Amen Amen. I am so grateful for this video! A lingering question has been answered. I have been in a really dark place of late. This gave me the answer and opened a door. God's blessings through Jesus Christ.
@ I realized that I thought I knew “what worked for me” but it hadn’t for over a decade. I was exhausted from anxiety and my ocd “rituals”. My selfish behavior that manifested from these illnesses drove our daughter toward two abusive relationships and she removed herself and my grandson from our lives. It’s been 326 days since I’ve had any contact with either. I gave up trying to fix it because I was in despair and near suicidal. I gave God ABSOLUTE control to fix it become I was drowning in physical and emotional pain. I started praying prayers crying out to Jesus to intercede for me and fill me with The Holy Spirit because I was broken. It was as if He flipped a light switch. Literally. I thought, “How arrogant is it of **ME** to think that whatever obsessive and compulsive thinking and behaviors I completed could actually affect the ‘butterfly that affects the hurricane’, metaphorically speaking.” God showed me that I was actually MICROMANAGING His Holy Work. I pray that God fill you with The Holy Spirit so that you can rest in the knowledge that He truly is in control and He wants to carry you. He knows you’re tired and is calling to help you. Amen. 🙏 Do I still get a brief flash of anxiety? Sure! But I fall back on my list of “spontaneous prayers” for when I don’t have the words to express and Jesus intercedes for me. - [ ] I give up. Lord you fix it. - [ ] Lord please make good of the evil I have caused. - [ ] I accept your forgiveness. - [ ] Lord Jesus, if it be Your Will, take this cup (suffering) from me. If not, Thy Will be done. - [ ] Thy Loving Will be done. God, Thy Loving Will be done. - [ ] I claim the authority of my bloodline. Lord, I invite you in to heal any and every wound that is here. - [ ] Father, remind me that evil has no power over me. Make known to me that I can believe NONE of what evil says and only half of what they show. In Jesus, alone, is where The One and Holy Truth lies. Do I still have physical pain? Oh, yeah! But I know that God isn’t done using that pain to forge me for His Purpose. I ask Him throughout the day to ease my pain so that I can do His Will, which for now is making dinner for my husband each day. It seems small, but I’ve been chair-bound for almost 4 years. So I praise God for His blessings in whatever degree or form! 🙏✝️
@ I was broken and had alienated my husband, daughter, and grandson. I gave up and started praying these especially when I didn’t feel it. God opened my eyes in His perfect time. I still have pain but I ride it out by focusing on God and completely relying that He will ease my suffering at times when I have earthly duties for His glory like making dinner for my husband. It’s small but I’ve been chair-bound for nearly 4 years. So I praise God and keep going. For when I don't have the words and Jesus intercedes for me. ❤️ Spontaneous Prayers: ◦ I give up.

Praise Jesus for loving my sinful state! Praise Holy Spirit for overwhelming my heart with Your presence especially in the midst of trials! Praise this beautiful Will God has for me. 🙏✝️
@ I was broken and could only go to God. Life terrified me. Death terrified me. Consciousness terrified me. I felt so alone and lost, even in the midst of my husband, child, and family. I gave up and gave it to God completely. He showed me what real self-care looked like: submission to Him, submission to His ability to work miracles, submission to my husband, submission to His will instead of asking for mine. 🙏✝️ God bless you. Continue to pray even when you don’t feel like it’s working. Repetitively pray for God to open your mind and heart. Be patient and He will show you AND IT WILL BE OBVIOUS!!! RIDICULOUSLY OBVIOUS! I felt so silly that I didn’t see it before and felt like I needed to make up for all 50 years that I was oblivious because I simply didn’t intentionally make time for God. I am confident that He is already working on putting all the moving parts into place. God’s got this in His perfect and most holy Will. Amen 🙏✝️
@@mph1ish - [ ] I was broken, physically and spiritually, and truly felt that it was God or suicide. Life terrified me. Death terrified me. Consciousness terrified me.

In 1988, I was under attack in every area of my life all at the same time. I have learned these principles and more over the years. He wants us 100%, not just when we have a need. Each day, I arise to seek the Lord and ask what's on His agenda rather than mine.
So I have been listening to your channel for about 6 months now. This message caused me to tear up. I needed to hear this. Thank you for what you are doing through Christ.
Father God, I ask that You break into my life with a mighty demonstration of Your power. Part any sea that needs to open in my life so I can walk in freedom and enter a deeper level of intimacy with You. Father, You’ve done powerful things for Your children in the past, and I ask, Abba Daddy, that You do those same types of things for me. May Your power mark me just as it marked the children of Israel, in Jesus Name Amen and Amen.
In my 56 years of life I had suppressed hurt, pain and lost with in. I found the Lord and gave my life sincerely and true to him. I felt him calling me hearing my grandmother witness sharing the word of God. I eagerly wanted to change unaware what the changing entails. I did not know who I was nor where I are going. I repented gave my life to God in Christ Jesus. I have been trying to grow to understand living alone in isolation. I sincerely want to God to strip away all my mask and find my identity. In prayer I ask God to put me through a refining fire to purify me to live in God’s will and plan. I want to know God deeply and grow in trust open to learn to know when he is guiding and directing me through trails, challenges and trouble times. God open my eyes to see and hear him relying on his strength and letting go of any attachments, desires and goals. Let go, God be all I can be in his word and grace.
I talk about faith alone. Leaving legalism. Escaping unsaved bloodline. Moving to each new level. Transformation process. Etc etc.. Many are struggling
We won't be treated all the same. Jesus was knocking on the door of the last historical and perhaps spiritually matured church from Revelation called the Laodiceans. Jesus was going to vomit them out of his mouth for being lukewarm. Same chapter of Revelation he goes on further to say "those who I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be ZEALOUS and repent. Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice....."
@PureWhite-g7i Not sure what you are saying, but yeah go to see a priest and go to confession and be absolved of your sins. Receive all the Holy Sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. It is Jesus Himself. He is the one True God. It's all in the Bible.
Many are called, a few are chosen.... Paul refers to “God's elect” in Romans 8:33. The Greek word for “elect” means “chosen" or “selected” (Mounce). Jesus said, “For many are called, but few are chosen”(Matthew 22:14). Paul referred to a Christian named Rufus as “chosen in the Lord” (Romans 16:13)
Father God, strengthen me and help me to trust You. I know this world does not have all the answers, but You do. You hold my future in Your hands. Help me not to lean on my own understanding but to put my hope completely in You, in Jesus Name Amen and Amen.
Im in test 4 and have been for 10yrs i thought God didn't want me and was trying to run me off like everyone else, i really needed to here this thank u Jesus ❤❤❤
the path of the "chosen" in its meaning to me qad from who I am really, to the confusing traits people want to interfere of where I am to this world not to given up my strength upon the resulting negative demands by what's people don't favor that things goes the way it were.
Gods chosen people are those who believe Him. If you believe Him you will be saved and He will give you the Holy Spirt which is the mark of salvation. To be chosen is to be IN CHRIST and he IN YOU. When you seek Him more and more after you have been saved he will use you to perform task for Him as you continue to grow and mature.
I was homeless,did drugs ,went into prison,where I got to know God. He changes my life. Now I have a home,a wife and a lovely year old daughter (Zoe),and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. plus a new identity -a child of God, hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❤️❤️
YES!!! That's exactly her name(Mary Margaret schimweg)so many people have recommended highly about her😊 and am just starting with her Brisbane Australia 🇳🇿
The idea of '7 hardest spiritual tests only the chosen ones survive' is intriguing, but it risks creating a sense of exclusivity that could alienate some believers. Does this concept unintentionally suggest that those who struggle or fail these tests are less chosen or less favored by God? Shouldn’t we focus more on God’s grace and the fact that everyone’s spiritual journey is unique, rather than framing it as a survival challenge? Maybe we should emphasize that God equips all of us, chosen or not, to grow through our struggles in His timing.
You bring up an important perspective. Spiritual tests aren’t about proving worthiness or exclusivity, but about growing closer to God through challenges. C.S. Lewis often highlighted that God’s grace is available to all, regardless of how we navigate these tests. The idea of 'chosen ones' can be interpreted as those who embrace their spiritual growth despite the difficulties, rather than a special status. It’s not about survival of the fittest-it’s about trusting that God walks with each of us, using both successes and failures to shape our faith journey.
128. ONE SOUL AT A TIME God’s works are to be accomplished with one soul at a time For He has instilled in each of us an interesting paradigm. It is a pattern of living, a way to obtain Spiritual growth It is as solemn as avow it is sacred as an oath. When we see that one soul as being you or I We will understand that we have no more time to let escape by. For when God calls that one soul to be a service for His work We will have the choice to obey or from Him we can shirk. Service to Our Lord begins as an act of free will We must be willing to do any assignment He sees fit for us to fill. The fears that we are inadequate will all slip away When it is in His will we learn to trust in and obey. God will teach us all we will need to do He will set before us a road that is adventurously new. Faith will propel us forward, it will show us how to proceed It will keep us bound in Christ, and He will give us all we need. With one soul at a time we will form a vast cartel One in which the Holy Spirit will enter upon and dwell
Oh got on wrong page😅. Not good with this. But I Praise God for the trials. They ARE HARD yet I grow and learn from them.I Praise YOU Heavenly Father and THANK YOU for Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Amen Glory be to our Faithful Loving Heavenly Father in Jesus name AMEN and AMEN.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This video does a very specific job at explaining who the chosen ones are. The very thing he opens with is this scripture from Matthew, where he says many are called, but few will answer. A chosen one is simply someone who answered that call by choosing God, or His way for their life. It has nothing to do with being holier than thou. None of us are righteous because of our actions, or our titles. Only the blood of Jesus makes us righteous. There is a very obvious difference between someone who has received Jesus as their Lord and Savior, but has not transformed their mind, yet compared to someone who has received Jesus as their Lord and savior, and have had a transformed mind for many years. What I respectfully think you may be missing is that for the person who has truly chosen to make their life a living sacrifice to the Lord Jesus Christ, being known as a chosen one, is an amazing honor. God loves us all, He created every one of us with a plan and a purpose and that plan was to prosper usprosper. How many people do you know who are truly serving the Lord with a whole heart? God‘s word tells us about Luke warm Christians and refers to spitting them out for being lukewarm. Sadly, I think it’s safe to say that far too many of the church body are lukewarm today. Once you’ve reached a high-level of spiritual maturity, having lead a life dedicated to our Lord and Savior, it will be much easier to see and understand just what it means to be a chosen one. I pray that you receive this comment with the love it was written with, and no condemnation.
God CHOOSES all his souls...to pick up life's crosses and follow Him. (continuing in the Liturgical Worship: prayers of praise, petition, penitential, and thanksgiving EVEN AS 'the world' states 'church?' you still go to church?) PERSEVERANCE in the ways raised up by good parents and grandparents aunts, uncles, all good authority that teaches religion and the academic lessons even as we see others disrespecting the ESTABLISHED GOOD of common good laws written, to 'try' to do their own thing and at times writing of subjective laws that allow some to 'do their own thing.' (sin) WOE to such law makers. GOD is pleased when we endure those who 'bust our words' (invalidate us), taunt us through that human vulnerability all have 'emotions' trying to get us to lose our temper, (sometimes try to scare with profanity screamed) or tempt us with what they call 'good,' go ahead...it's been a long week, join me in 'happy hour' or here 'puff this' it will relax, or HEY MAN... like just quit that work scene (work employ) HANG OUT and CURSE all those who are sweating and straining for dollars, but complain how poor one is because of 'not having' and those 'greedy' rich WORKERS. Party Hearty! OR the opposite ...hey, work work work 24/7 to have that career you dreamed of having so you can have EVERYTHING you want, when you want it. (truth: careers in a chosen vocation or profession will be if GOD so permits such to be...those who discipline the soul and hear God directing their every 'balanced' step) ALL who serve God, and neighbor as self with an ability of some type will have a 'career' of serving others. Then there are those who want the type of career of raising themselves up the rungs of a ladder to EXALT self: power, place, and lofty positions ... spiritually we know what happens to they who exalt themselves) Those who want a work career must serve neighbor AS one serves self. (watch the shopping til one drops that merely raises demand and prices FOR ALL) It's not easy to rise in Christ the Lord, because as sure as one begins to... that devil and those 'devilish' spirits will try to stick a foot in the aisle to make those doing good, as should, fall. BE AWARE always and KEEP THE FAITH. Follow the 7x 70 rule of saying the sorry's (to God) and praying for those who are knowingly or unknowingly the enemy of God. Be careful how one see's and hears (discernment essential while of flesh) . . .discernment takes the ACTS OF FAITH (religion) that disciplines the soul to coming to know, love, and serve the PRESENCE OF GOD who comes and dwells within those of faith.
The idea of '7 hardest spiritual tests only the chosen ones survive' is intriguing, but it risks creating an 'us vs. them' mindset. Are we implying that only a select group of people are 'chosen' or capable of enduring these tests? This could make others feel excluded or inferior in their spiritual journey. Shouldn’t we focus more on the idea that God gives everyone the strength to face their unique challenges, rather than dividing people into 'chosen' and 'unchosen'? Maybe we need a more inclusive approach to discussing spiritual growth.
You raise a great point-spiritual growth isn’t about exclusivity but about how God works through each of us in unique ways. C.S. Lewis’ message likely emphasizes that these 'tests' are experiences that deepen faith and refine character, not a measure of superiority. The term 'chosen ones' can be understood as those who embrace their calling to grow closer to God through challenges. Everyone’s journey is different, and God equips us all for the paths we walk. The focus should be on encouragement and faith rather than comparison or exclusion.
A Heart of Flesh “And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them. And I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh.” - Ezekiel 11:19 What does the Lord mean here when He says He’s going to take out our hearts of stone and give us instead hearts of flesh? Think about this: Does a heart of stone feel anything? If you knock on a stone or pinch it or slam your fist down on it, will that stone feel anything? Absolutely not, right? But if you pinch or punch or knock on flesh, the flesh will feel it. So what the Lord is saying here is that He’s going to take our hearts of stone that were previously insensitive to Him and unable to discern His Spirit, and He’s going to give us instead hearts that will yield to His Spirit. Beloved, God wants to help you become more and more sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). Now, the ability to discern the voice of God does not come overnight. It takes training. We don’t hear His voice perfectly all at once. But if you’ll make it your priority to know Him-to hear His voice and sense His Spirit working in your life-God is going to teach you to recognize His voice when He speaks. And you will be led into a deep relationship with God because He’s given you the capacity to do so. Father God, thank You for removing my old heart of stone and giving me a heart of flesh. Help me to be more sensitive to Your Spirit and to recognize Your voice when You are speaking. Lord, You said Your sheep hear Your voice, and I am one of Your sheep, so help me to not only discern Your leading but to trust what You are doing in my life. I want to partner with You to accomplish Your will in my life and in the earth, in Jesus Name Amen and Amen.

◦ Holy Spirit, fill me every morning and all throughout the day. Guide me in all of my thoughts, deeds, and actions - even in the most mundane of tasks. Jesus, fill me with your mercy so that You are what is seen, not me. God, continue sending me support and confidence in Your will. Amen 🙏✝️
◦ Praise God for my struggles as they keep my focus on His Will! Praise God for my pain as He refines my heart! Praise Jesus for loving my sinful state! Praise Holy Spirit for overwhelming my heart with Your presence especially in the midst of trials! Praise this beautiful Will God has for me. 🙏✝️
@ I was broken and could only go to God. Life terrified me. Death terrified me. Consciousness terrified me. I felt so alone and lost, even in the midst of my husband, child, and family. I gave up and gave it to God completely. He showed me what real self-care looked like: submission to Him, submission to His ability to work miracles, submission to my husband, submission to His will instead of asking for mine. 🙏✝️ God bless you. Continue to pray even when you don’t feel like it’s working. Repetitively pray for God to open your mind and heart. Be patient and He will show you AND IT WILL BE OBVIOUS!!! RIDICULOUSLY OBVIOUS! I felt so silly that I didn’t see it before and felt like I needed to make up for all 50 years that I was oblivious because I simply didn’t intentionally make time for God. I am confident that He is already working on putting all the moving parts into place. God’s got this in His perfect and most holy Will. Amen 🙏✝️

In 1988, I was under attack in every area of my life all at the same time. I have learned these principles and more over the years. He wants us 100%, not just when we have a need. Each day, I arise to seek the Lord and ask what's on His agenda rather than mine.
Yes the chosen are the ones who accept JESUS in their lives and follow him
The chosen ones must stand firm “IN FAITH” even when they have more questions than answers-C.S. Lewis
AMEN 💯💯🙌🏻⚡️
So I have been listening to your channel for about 6 months now. This message caused me to tear up. I needed to hear this. Thank you for what you are doing through Christ.
Father God, I ask that You break into my life with a mighty demonstration of Your power. Part any sea that needs to open in my life so I can walk in freedom and enter a deeper level of intimacy with You. Father, You’ve done powerful things for Your children in the past, and I ask, Abba Daddy, that You do those same types of things for me. May Your power mark me just as it marked the children of Israel, in Jesus Name Amen and Amen.
In my 56 years of life I had suppressed hurt, pain and lost with in. I found the Lord and gave my life sincerely and true to him. I felt him calling me hearing my grandmother witness sharing the word of God. I eagerly wanted to change unaware what the changing entails. I did not know who I was nor where I are going. I repented gave my life to God in Christ Jesus. I have been trying to grow to understand living alone in isolation. I sincerely want to God to strip away all my mask and find my identity. In prayer I ask God to put me through a refining fire to purify me to live in God’s will and plan. I want to know God deeply and grow in trust open to learn to know when he is guiding and directing me through trails, challenges and trouble times. God open my eyes to see and hear him relying on his strength and letting go of any attachments, desires and goals. Let go, God be all I can be in his word and grace.
I talk about faith alone.
Leaving legalism.
Escaping unsaved bloodline.
Moving to each new level.
Transformation process.
Etc etc..
Many are struggling
Thank You Jesus for chosen me.
I think he means everyone is chosen. . As when Jesus knocks on our door. Sadly, only few accept His invitation.
We won't be treated all the same. Jesus was knocking on the door of the last historical and perhaps spiritually matured church from Revelation called the Laodiceans. Jesus was going to vomit them out of his mouth for being lukewarm. Same chapter of Revelation he goes on further to say "those who I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be ZEALOUS and repent. Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice....."
@PureWhite-g7i
Not sure what you are saying, but yeah go to see a priest and go to confession and be absolved of your sins. Receive all the Holy Sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. It is Jesus Himself. He is the one True God. It's all in the Bible.
Many are called, a few are chosen....
Paul refers to “God's elect” in Romans 8:33. The Greek word for “elect” means “chosen" or “selected” (Mounce). Jesus said, “For many are called, but few are chosen”(Matthew 22:14). Paul referred to a Christian named Rufus as “chosen in the Lord” (Romans 16:13)
Jesus said no man can come unless the Father draws him.
Thank You Lord Jesus...Amen and Amen...
THANK YOU, LORD JESUS!!!!
YOU WORKETH IN US BOTH TO WILL AND TO DO YOUR GOOD PLEASURE………..
AMEN!!!!!!!
Amen ❤ I am Chosen ❤ it's been hard but I'm grateful. Thank you Lord for seeing me through ❤
After you have breathed in , , , breathe out , , , let him decide when you will cease doing this action" your life has value...
Thanks for sharing. This was a blessing to me. I learned from listening to these videos
Amen! I love you Lord🙏💜
Father God, strengthen me and help me to trust You. I know this world does not have all the answers, but You do. You hold my future in Your hands. Help me not to lean on my own understanding but to put my hope completely in You, in Jesus Name Amen and Amen.
Im in test 4 and have been for 10yrs i thought God didn't want me and was trying to run me off like everyone else, i really needed to here this thank u Jesus ❤❤❤
Keep standing
''Pigeons fly in groups, but eagles fly alone'' - Ancient Chinese proverb -
Amen and Amen. Let it be,Holy Father. Let it be unto me according to Your Word. Praise God.
the path of the "chosen" in its meaning to me qad from who I am really, to the confusing traits people want to interfere of where I am to this world not to given up my strength upon the resulting negative demands by what's people don't favor that things goes the way it were.
Inspired and Encouraged!!!
Gods chosen people are those who believe Him. If you believe Him you will be saved and He will give you the Holy Spirt which is the mark of salvation. To be chosen is to be IN CHRIST and he IN YOU. When you seek Him more and more after you have been saved he will use you to perform task for Him as you continue to grow and mature.
I was homeless,did drugs ,went into prison,where I got to know God. He changes my life. Now I have a home,a wife and a lovely year old daughter (Zoe),and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. plus a new identity -a child of God, hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❤️❤️

The idea of '7 hardest spiritual tests only the chosen ones survive' is intriguing, but it risks creating a sense of exclusivity that could alienate some believers. Does this concept unintentionally suggest that those who struggle or fail these tests are less chosen or less favored by God? Shouldn’t we focus more on God’s grace and the fact that everyone’s spiritual journey is unique, rather than framing it as a survival challenge? Maybe we should emphasize that God equips all of us, chosen or not, to grow through our struggles in His timing.
You bring up an important perspective. Spiritual tests aren’t about proving worthiness or exclusivity, but about growing closer to God through challenges. C.S. Lewis often highlighted that God’s grace is available to all, regardless of how we navigate these tests. The idea of 'chosen ones' can be interpreted as those who embrace their spiritual growth despite the difficulties, rather than a special status. It’s not about survival of the fittest-it’s about trusting that God walks with each of us, using both successes and failures to shape our faith journey.
@motivationradio-V since this channel started, I have wondered if this is really C.S. Lewis words?
@@TonyGalla-kw4hw Why don't you read C.S. Lewis' books for yourself & find out? 🧐
NOPE, God repeats tests until we pass them, then we level up & meet harder challenges! Seek & ye shall find hahaha 😂
Many are chosen remember !!! Matthew 22:14-16
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
from my soul to yours, thank you so much!
128. ONE SOUL AT A TIME
God’s works are to be accomplished with one soul
at a time
For He has instilled in each of us an interesting
paradigm.
It is a pattern of living, a way to obtain Spiritual growth
It is as solemn as avow it is sacred as an oath.
When we see that one soul as being you or I
We will understand that we have no more time to let
escape by.
For when God calls that one soul to be a service for
His work
We will have the choice to obey or from Him we
can shirk.
Service to Our Lord begins as an act of free will
We must be willing to do any assignment He sees fit for
us to fill.
The fears that we are inadequate will all slip away
When it is in His will we learn to trust in and obey.
God will teach us all we will need to do
He will set before us a road that is adventurously new.
Faith will propel us forward, it will show us how
to proceed
It will keep us bound in Christ, and He will give us all
we need.
With one soul at a time we will form a vast cartel
One in which the Holy Spirit will enter upon and dwell
😮WOW. 🙌🏼 Thank you Lord

Is it only me who doesn't like the whole "chosen one" mantra? It's giving "I'm holier than thou"
It feels like it’s pushing people away rather than creating connection, right? Sometimes the 'chosen one' sounds a bit arrogant.
@@dailysoul365 yes exactly! It can be a slippery slope to believing we're better than others and that's a big nono.
This video does a very specific job at explaining who the chosen ones are. The very thing he opens with is this scripture from Matthew, where he says many are called, but few will answer. A chosen one is simply someone who answered that call by choosing God, or His way for their life. It has nothing to do with being holier than thou. None of us are righteous because of our actions, or our titles. Only the blood of Jesus makes us righteous. There is a very obvious difference between someone who has received Jesus as their Lord and Savior, but has not transformed their mind, yet compared to someone who has received Jesus as their Lord and savior, and have had a transformed mind for many years. What I respectfully think you may be missing is that for the person who has truly chosen to make their life a living sacrifice to the Lord Jesus Christ, being known as a chosen one, is an amazing honor. God loves us all, He created every one of us with a plan and a purpose and that plan was to prosper usprosper. How many people do you know who are truly serving the Lord with a whole heart? God‘s word tells us about Luke warm Christians and refers to spitting them out for being lukewarm. Sadly, I think it’s safe to say that far too many of the church body are lukewarm today. Once you’ve reached a high-level of spiritual maturity, having lead a life dedicated to our Lord and Savior, it will be much easier to see and understand just what it means to be a chosen one. I pray that you receive this comment with the love it was written with, and no condemnation.

God CHOOSES all his souls...to pick up life's crosses and follow Him. (continuing in the Liturgical Worship: prayers of praise, petition, penitential, and thanksgiving EVEN AS 'the world' states 'church?' you still go to church?) PERSEVERANCE in the ways raised up by good parents and grandparents aunts, uncles, all good authority that teaches religion and the academic lessons even as we see others disrespecting the ESTABLISHED GOOD of common good laws written, to 'try' to do their own thing and at times writing of subjective laws that allow some to 'do their own thing.' (sin) WOE to such law makers. GOD is pleased when we endure those who 'bust our words' (invalidate us), taunt us through that human vulnerability all have 'emotions' trying to get us to lose our temper, (sometimes try to scare with profanity screamed) or tempt us with what they call 'good,' go ahead...it's been a long week, join me in 'happy hour' or here 'puff this' it will relax, or HEY MAN... like just quit that work scene (work employ) HANG OUT and CURSE all those who are sweating and straining for dollars, but complain how poor one is because of 'not having' and those 'greedy' rich WORKERS. Party Hearty! OR the opposite ...hey, work work work 24/7 to have that career you dreamed of having so you can have EVERYTHING you want, when you want it. (truth: careers in a chosen vocation or profession will be if GOD so permits such to be...those who discipline the soul and hear God directing their every 'balanced' step) ALL who serve God, and neighbor as self with an ability of some type will have a 'career' of serving others. Then there are those who want the type of career of raising themselves up the rungs of a ladder to EXALT self: power, place, and lofty positions ... spiritually we know what happens to they who exalt themselves) Those who want a work career must serve neighbor AS one serves self. (watch the shopping til one drops that merely raises demand and prices FOR ALL) It's not easy to rise in Christ the Lord, because as sure as one begins to... that devil and those 'devilish' spirits will try to stick a foot in the aisle to make those doing good, as should, fall. BE AWARE always and KEEP THE FAITH. Follow the 7x 70 rule of saying the sorry's (to God) and praying for those who are knowingly or unknowingly the enemy of God. Be careful how one see's and hears (discernment essential while of flesh)
. . .discernment takes the ACTS OF FAITH (religion) that disciplines the soul to coming to know, love, and serve the PRESENCE OF GOD who comes and dwells within those of faith.

The idea of '7 hardest spiritual tests only the chosen ones survive' is intriguing, but it risks creating an 'us vs. them' mindset. Are we implying that only a select group of people are 'chosen' or capable of enduring these tests? This could make others feel excluded or inferior in their spiritual journey. Shouldn’t we focus more on the idea that God gives everyone the strength to face their unique challenges, rather than dividing people into 'chosen' and 'unchosen'? Maybe we need a more inclusive approach to discussing spiritual growth.
You raise a great point-spiritual growth isn’t about exclusivity but about how God works through each of us in unique ways. C.S. Lewis’ message likely emphasizes that these 'tests' are experiences that deepen faith and refine character, not a measure of superiority. The term 'chosen ones' can be understood as those who embrace their calling to grow closer to God through challenges. Everyone’s journey is different, and God equips us all for the paths we walk. The focus should be on encouragement and faith rather than comparison or exclusion.
A Heart of Flesh
“And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them. And I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh.”
- Ezekiel 11:19
What does the Lord mean here when He says He’s going to take out our hearts of stone and give us instead hearts of flesh? Think about this: Does a heart of stone feel anything? If you knock on a stone or pinch it or slam your fist down on it, will that stone feel anything? Absolutely not, right? But if you pinch or punch or knock on flesh, the flesh will feel it. So what the Lord is saying here is that He’s going to take our hearts of stone that were previously insensitive to Him and unable to discern His Spirit, and He’s going to give us instead hearts that will yield to His Spirit.
Beloved, God wants to help you become more and more sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). Now, the ability to discern the voice of God does not come overnight. It takes training. We don’t hear His voice perfectly all at once. But if you’ll make it your priority to know Him-to hear His voice and sense His Spirit working in your life-God is going to teach you to recognize His voice when He speaks. And you will be led into a deep relationship with God because He’s given you the capacity to do so.
Father God, thank You for removing my old heart of stone and giving me a heart of flesh. Help me to be more sensitive to Your Spirit and to recognize Your voice when You are speaking. Lord, You said Your sheep hear Your voice, and I am one of Your sheep, so help me to not only discern Your leading but to trust what You are doing in my life. I want to partner with You to accomplish Your will in my life and in the earth, in Jesus Name Amen and Amen.
🙏🏽💜🙏🏽🕊️🕊️🕊️
I was unknowingly called, unknowingly answered, lived contentedly, then turned away and failed subsequent tests. Now what
❤👏👏👏
God does NOT test anyone! Satan does .. Resist him and he will flee away.
Ultimately God is in control. So when Satan does test us, he’s trying to destroy us, but God is using it to makes us stronger
