Not your ordinary Election...

I’ve started reading a book called, “Revelation Unveiled” which deciphers the end times in the bible. It is powerful..the first few pages had me in tears at just the holiness of God Almighty. It brings such reverence to your heart. Jesus Christ is returning and sooner than we all think. The bible says that we will not know when he is coming, but to be ready at all times. This isn’t to instill fear or make us worry, it is to prepare us for the return of our King…the KING OF KINGS, LORD OF LORDS! To be sanctified, holy and cleansed. To be purified. To be in the word and prayed up. To know the TRUTH and to be walking in LOVE for one another.


God has been speaking one word to me that I have been over looking until now. Elect. I read it all the time in the word of God and it is also in the book that I am reading. I was thinking to myself, “what does that really mean?” What does elect mean? It says that his elect will come from the four ends..north, south, east and west..


I looked up the word elect in an online dictionary before writing this. It means CHOSEN. God’s elect are his chosen ones that he calls for his purposes. The bible says MANY are called, but FEW are chosen. Few are elect.


I was thinking about our recent election that we had in the U.S this past month, and how important it is to make the right decision while electing someone. To even ponder that amazes me…how God can choose (elect) some of us. To elect someone is also to show trust in them. Think about when you are a captain of a team and you are choosing your players…you have trust and hope in them that they will do good and make you proud…right? It’s a lot like that with Papa (God). He chose you before the foundation of time. God stands outside of time…time is actually in his HANDS. Can you imagine? He loves us that much that he elected us to be on this Earth as his ambassadors. PRAISE GOD!


So if you know that you have been elected to represent the Faithful One, let his light shine through you for all the world to see. You have been chosen, predestined, hand picked and most importantly equipped to do his will. He would not have chosen you if he thought that you would take his election lightly.


GLORY!

This is why it is so important to hide the word of God in our hearts that we might not sin against Him. The scripture which comes to mind is All things work together for those who love God and who are the called according to His purposes. God bless you Deborah; You are one of His called/chosen ones....
