Matthew
11:27 "All things are delivered unto me of my Father. And no man knows
the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save.(old
english for 'except').the
Son, and He to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him." John
3:27 ".....a man can receive nothing except it be given to him from
heaven"; John
6:65; Luke 19:22; John
1:12..Acts
13:48 "..... as many as were ordained to eternal life believed."
Our calling was planned
long ago. Also Ecclesiastes
3:11. Also.John
17:2 "As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give
eternal life to as many as you have given Him.".How
many
is that?
Even though God gives the
ability to believe (Isaiah 50:5;
Acts
18:27 ".....when he was come, helped them much which had believed
through grace."),
some shrink from it.
Tell God, "Hey,
God, I need you and want to get to know you!" He hears you. He
is more 'real' that you can imagine! Far more 'real' than us temporal
beings here in the physical! He is really there! Talk to Him!
Once God gives this ability
He never removes it (Romans 11:29),
but you can move away from it, just as – your mom and dad may always be
there for you, but you can remove yourself from them, getting your mind
on other things apart from their influence.
One must be a seeker (example)
to be a receiver:.Matthew
7:7-11;
Revelation 3:20.
God has ways to ensure that minds are opened to Him as
He only determines, and He now wants in this era of the
higher consciousness New Testament, all to awaken:.Acts
17:30.
Up to this time God had ways
to keep minds closed until He's ready to call people to Him, and in the
Old Testament He called whom He wanted to:.Isaiah
6:9,10;
29:10;
John
12:37-40; Matthew 13:11,15.(why
it's important to be open minded); Mark
4:11,12; 2Thessalonians
2:11,12.(original
word for 'damned' is 'judged'.–.and
how will the Infinite One do this?).
The Infinite One allowed
people in the
Old
Testament to have a choice:.Deuteronomy
30:19.
In the
New
Testament it is a different story. In the New Testament it is 'my way
is best and I am calling you into it'!
God here in the New Testament
era
does the choosing:.1Peter
2:9; John 15:16; 1Corinthians
1:27,28.(note:
as far as those not yet called who may know you, to them you may be regarded
as foolish);
Ephesians 1:4; 2Thessalonians
2:13;.Revelation
17:14 ".....they that are with Him are called and chosen and faithful."
And,
Paul's
calling. And.Romans
9:19 ".....For who has resisted his will?"
The Infinite calls people
by His word to be acceptable to
Him because of Christ. And who is He now calling?.Acts
17:30. And called to believe what?.Romans
10:10-15 "For with the heart man believes unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation. For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on
him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew
and the Greek; for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that
call upon him. For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall.(word
'shall' not in original Greek or Hebrew either).be
saved.(word
'saved' is all encompassing in the original and includes blessings in this
life.(*).
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how
shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they
hear without a preacher.(original
is 'to herald, to proclaim openly, to publish')?".It
is important to get
the gospel message out to others.
Being saved means you
have entered the Kingdom of God.
The
Infinite reveals deep and secret things.(Deuteronomy
29:29; Daniel 2:22,28,47).and
to whom He through the Christ
consciousness wishes at this time – again, Matthew
11:27; Philippians 3:15;.John
18:37 ".....Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.".And
how?.1Corinthians
2:10.
The
Great Infinite One wanted it this way. The earth
is a stage for learning that ego
ways do not produce real happiness, only selfish 'happiness'. It's
only
the way of higher
consciousness of the Great Infinite Ever Living One, the way that was
brought to earth for all mankind by he who was called the Christ, the one
who came in the physical body of one called
Jesus.
So here we are, having
lived for eternity and having this time to now modify our
eternal souls through human, that is, the
five senses experience. Understanding this
world beyond the senses is the key to understanding your soul:.Hebrews
5:14.
I mean, here we are, on this
earth. Society was here when we showed up on the earth in a human body
as a baby. Society was already set up as a result of man's efforts, some
good, some bad, when little innocent you and me arrived at birth. That
is stroke #1 against us. It was a world already fashioned which was ready
and waiting for us, a world with many things in it that, as we grew up,
we found we did not like. We did not like what the social systems
precipitated
in the lives of others, the results of which have affected us negatively.
We found we did not like many things, and found things we did like. Some
of us became idealistic
and others became pessimistic.
We had nothing to do with
the
natures God had us born with.(Romans
8:20).and
what
developed in us because of just living.(all
the body's desires and
emotions
and self centered eagerness for a better way for
Mr., Mrs. & Ms. #1).and
making
decisions thereby.
We became programmed,
mostly negatively if there was not strong parental
guidance and support in our individual upbringing:.Ephesians
2:2,3 "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the
power of the air, the spirit.(the
devil is a real being, personified by an attitude,
an attitude of evil; just as we also are known by our attitudes).that
now works in the
children of disobedience; Among whom also we all had our conversation.(old
english for 'conduct').in
times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh
and of the mind; and were.by
nature.the
children of wrath, even as others.".That
is stroke #2 against us.
And into this world we come
facing an imperceptible.enemy
awaiting every opportunity to drag us down a little more.(1Peter
5:8).with
his
special tools. That is stroke #3 against us.
You ignorantly.(you
do not realize what is really going on behind your thoughts).'bait'
the devil with negative thoughts, selfishness
being one of them, which leads one
into many hurts. What thoughts?
And why so?
He will take your negative
thoughts.(those
out of sync with higher consciousness).and
'take you down a couple more feet' each time. Why would you ever be negative
when you know for sure Christ
is in you?, meaning the higher consciousness of the Infinite One often
referred to by Jesus as the Father:.Romans
8:28.....continues
