Are You Called Or Chosen Part 2

This is Amy Thomas from the masculine journey podcast where we discover what it means to be a wholehearted man your chosen Truth Network podcast is starting in just seconds. Enjoy it, share it, but most of all, thank you for listening and for choosing The Truth Podcast Network. This is the Truth Network welcome to mannitol brought you my T8 WC M and talking and walking Christian men's ministry where they are devoted to breaking down the walls of race denomination and challenging men to take their God assigned as our host will hardly and Roy Jones Junior, a black guy in a white guy will praise the Lord mannitol listening audience that will hardly back with pastor John McCoy from faith fundamental in you last week and we were talking about this this parable of the king who had a marriage voice on and when we left off of that we were saying how when he said that second batch of servants out and then all of a sudden they went back to the businesses they ignored the servant they may kill them kill the servants and the king was mad. He sent out his armies. He destroyed all of their cities just torn down.

Again, this is a off future look into what is coming in again go to Revelation 19, beginning with verse seven and read all the way down through the end of the chapter, which I think is verse number 21 so this week we going to continue with our conversation on are you called who are you chosen because we talk last week and we say pastor that there is a lot of folk who who think that their chosen but they only called and we know that God has given us all that we need to maintain his word. So if you are a chosen one of God. There's no way you will abandon God. There is no way you going to give up on God.

When you hear the message of salvation will you go out and start preaching the gospel to someone when you do that God is working in and through you to both do his will and his good pleasure as he says that when you do this, they're going to be some people who look at you and said I don't want to hear. There's going be some people who say a man praise the Lord why because they can identify with what you're saying and then you got the this other group who just want to go out and just kill you so so fast right now we are we looking at verse number nine, and in that particular chapter so Rita go you therefore into the highways and admitted share of fine beer to the marriage so they so those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all many as they found, both bad and good and the wedding was furnished with gifts, go here who had passed talk to Rebecca. All right we left out when he said that the wedding would really want to name being were not wordy and we have to get right directly wordy.

We have to remember that we didn't know the word of God it was not gonna put the word of God out right the Bible it knows it's better to have a millstone around.net and was what got to say which is going to just pull us down. He's going to pull us down because were not given the right word now what are you saying here when that when the king began to tell. He sent his servant to go out in the highways and byways, which we don't go out to highways about. We got a million excuses just like Dan but he said you need to go. I hear this is what the people on what you don't go like them. So I wrote a lot of people don't go to stay on the main rose when you know probably know bad people going to Bradstreet with the bad people. He was not there because I got some bad ones out that you do draw against the prostitute unabashedly glad to get me because they're looking for way to get out of that situation that he had not got an answer form right here, he said, but you can still go back to the ones I told Mrs. Lena.

It is almost ideal.

You know, if you asked me for little while I believe a lot of you that you think that's what they say right here for you in action for the right one.

You try to got to draw some water and get fermented by but if you come to me give you the little ward and you we got about a normal state. He said don't worry about them getting word they don't want to come as we speak. And before you know is going to come the time that many people will say to him you know all about the great thing to say.

You know you get when you work at oh yeah, he was in the choir you wasn't sure yet you gave a little money until you said you didn't do my work and seek the kingdom work is what matters and daunted in his name.

So when when he when he sent sent his armies out and see this. This is the thing that I think I'm stuck with me sent his armies out and all of a sudden now we are at the point to where he says when he said get as many people as you can bring here. Go get an when they went out, as you stated to the highways and byways. It was filled with guests to see so so you you can be called.

When we first of all, you can have an invite and you can refuse to come now, you can be called and say everybody come you didn't have an invitation but I'm begging you to come anyway. So now, now, as you stated, now you got all of the folks not and now you gotta whole Lotta guests now know about you, pastor. But I've been to a lot of wins conducted a lot of wins and you just don't go to a wedding looking any caraway if you got on jeans, a T-shirt and flip-flops. Somebody might come up to you and say Sir, are you one of the guests of the Bridle of the groom, and if so, you, we may have to give you a code and a time see so the code and the time is just to signify that when you come in. You got on the right. All going somewhere so so so now now when the invitation comes out because the people who rejected they weren't wordy. I've seen people coming into the church pastor who have ulterior motives.

They come in seeking wanting to get this data. The other thing, and if they don't get it. They leave I've seen it happen. Seek so I'm not saying that they're not wordy because they're going somewhere else. But the question is, is your motive might be impure and if you motivate them. Now you gotta ask the question where you come from going to the spiritual partner when he said the dress I try you coming in your genes and your pants are your shirt whatever T-shirt and we look at it despicable when you going to church if your spirit right you have a three-piece suit think that's what you have a three-piece suit. But if you're spreading right you still don't have anything God can see you guys not worried about because I know a lot of people to hear that they started think but don't the Bible say, you are the first thing they'll tell you nobody for coming.

That's nondescript to look at it but busy.

What it is that you you can come as you are, but what God is talking about is the chain had to be the spiritual part. Therefore, they may have been because he's a new creature that the spiritual body want to see someone that part comes in the church that have to be a change. He's not talk about your physical growth. Something about a thing. The heart has to be J that's the key because you can look any caraway on the outside but that don't mean and you clean only outside of that, but you still might have a dirty heart, spirit you you that the heart of man is is wicked and evil.

That's what the word God sees God. When God looked down upon the earth.

He saw that the wickedness of man was only evil continually.

And in this is the heart of man that is deceitful above all things and what definitely wicked rights.

Also see that heart of man you we we have to be careful now again unnatural illustration of illustration to convey a spiritual meaning. So you talk about that spiritual part now we we look at the passage and I'm going back to her now when he said so. The service went out they gathered everybody with an the wedding hall was filled so you had people when their who weren't invited, but they came anyway now. So now the wedding hall is still with all these people now we get into the next verse and the next verse goes on to talk about when the king came to see the guests, I and then he looked at a man who didn't have on a wedding garment seek goes back to what we talked about the illustration of the wedding you coming that would jeans and T-shirt on. Somebody may come up to you. Question a wears Jacobin Utah. If you don't have one. We will offer you one, but you can refuse that garment gone past I lost you. Your path to the widening people currently and you give them protection opened the door the priest read God and gave the word now all the said that someone that came me you looking at her. You speak to.

Do you know the law all right now.

I don't want to I just came for lunch or my friend invited me yet again to accept God's see see acceptance that see that's part of drawing. Jesus said, no man can come to me unless the father draws see and you can only be drawn when you hear the word coming up on the break when we come back we will finish this thing out because it is so good to my soul.

Stay with us to your CMM would love to have you join their community of men for breakfast every first and third Friday of every month, Bible discussions and fellowship after the best breakfast in town meeting location is at their precious posterior First Christian Church encouraged 1130 N. Main St. encouraged him a hard start at 7 o'clock from a hard stop for the first time visitors eat for free. Join your host will party Roy Jones Junior, a black guy in a white guy you have a wedding garment on because we had the part now in the passage to where the king now he's going around looking at the guests and he see an individual without a garment now again, if you go over there to Revelation chapter 19. And you start reading from verse number seven.

You will see that we who are in heaven with the Lord coming back on white horses. We have white linen on and it talks about in the passage that the white linen was the righteousness of the saints will wait a minute now and nothing righteous about you and me, but the righteousness of Jesus Christ when he gave it to me. He took my sin and he gave me his righteousness, so that righteousness is what Jesus Christ did.

Now if if the king is looking. What is he looking for he's looking for the righteousness of Jesus Christ. If you don't see the righteousness of Jesus Christ, you might get asked this question and the question he asked was if he didn't say he is like here not even say that he called and friend.

He said friend what he called and basically said you know you you don't have a wedding. I'm so, so that means that means pastor that that garment had to be given to him and he had to receive the garment go here past I see you ready for work like a fair while ago friend invited he was there, but he won't prepare for what God is giving and I'm paraphrasing wrist have to go to EEE begin to do this, and king said you think of something wrong with him. He will not receive what we say beat him up behind him take hold of his dinner, what not to do anything. Kelsey so everybody tells try everybody you can have a thousand people but everybody in the church is not chosen and prepared to realize out of the billions of people in this world only made a few million to go to heaven you that's a lot but that's a little number compared to the people and do so on this and that's why pastor it's a broad road and a narrow see, so you can fit a whole lot of folks on a broad road, but you can't get many people on a now road so if you listening right now. This is the invitation. The invitation is going out to you to come to Jesus.

Give your life to the Lord, you might be listening and saying I'm 25 years old. I got plenty of time do you do you know your death date.

I guarantee you don't know LSU on death row, then you know you didn't date but other than that you don't know when you will leave this life, but you have to be prepared. You been hand pastor McCoy talk about that being prepared being prepared see that this ministry is wants to prepare you to get ready to receive the gospel that the Lord Jesus Christ want to convey to you right now through his microphone were sitting here doing the work of the Lord because we don't want to see anyone perish but all come into repentance.

We don't. We got we got going get the best you will write only what he said about him going into… They said there shall be weeping and gasping.

Okay you go will Revelation it out and see what he's trying to say is those that I chose web hello date will be the standard behind a law why there will be people carted off to hail and the Bible said that they went on, but he said, then God is going to wipe away, but he said looking that's the chosen, I told you to call. I called you to call say come to me come to me, you came into check but to accept me as your personal savior. That's right, you came into the church so you you have to call in. You have to call in, but you wouldn't chose, and see Jesus sitting right here, saints said right here. There are many who are called you did all you are getting the gospel from all different directions on the on the pamphlet and in the news media on your phone on the TV screen people preaching the gospel message is coming through all kinds of avenues you getting the gospel message and now all of a sudden you get right up to the edge of the door and you say this is not for me. I can't even begin pastor say house Saturday that's going to be that they're going to be so many people whom God is opening up his arms to insane coming coming come to me all you who are labor and are heavy laden, don't you want restlessness, don't you want the rest of the Lord Jesus Christ. He's coming he wants to come right now his arms open to you right now all you have to do is come on in and accepted so pastor if you behind your pool. Whichever microphone is your poop it tonight. What would you tell that man woman bore girl about what they must do in order to come to Jesus first, you must accept the crisis. I got a fit like the if you going to listen to the Facebook and things on the radio and TV time programs that are given out the word quit all this getting on Facebook here. Somebody give you their opinion because they heard some preacher said if I got a ham. Everybody got a song that's what the Scriptures say everybody got but but but see what you don't understand it is said every body got one. It is set came from God.

You gotta get that understanding what he's trying to tell you if you going to be one of the chosen one. You gotta have that relationship with God.

You gotta give your life over to God you got did say if you gotta get say a man only thing you got there is. That's it. I know, but that's what the Bible says the Bible and in that place was not designed for them is designed for no one only for the devil and his angels.

You and I you know we we carry a heavy burden on us every time we step into church and up into the pool.

And we start talking about the message that God has given us to feed the people and see its defeating of the gospel message that's going to maintain your Christian walk.

You must get into the Bible. There are all kinds of things that are going on out there, but in the EN you have to stand on his word, saints, you gotta do it so win-win.

This invitation is going out just know number one you can save yourself you can do it in. And when when when you when all of a sudden you are on that altar or somebody is telling talking to you about Jesus you know what's going on in your life. I don't have to tell you, and for the most part. If you've done all that you can do and you still not progressing, then you need to try Jesus and I guarantee you when you do you will not be disappointed because he is the way he is the truth and he is the light you can save yourself. Recognize number two that you are a sinner and you need someone who can take on your sin.

No man can do it, husband, wife, son, daughter, they came to someone that can take on your sin and exchange that Sam thought only the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's the only thing God will accept listen you will accept anything else you have to have the righteousness of Jesus Christ in order for you to be chosen when you recognize that I need a Savior.

I can't save myself.

I need somebody to cast my sand on the next thing you need to do is use you need to confess your sins, the Lord, I'm a sinner. I need you I need you in my life because I can't do it.

I tried it and I can't do it all of us who who have been out there in the world we knew what we had to go through in order to get to where we are and what an easy road.

This Christian life pass in an easy and God didn't say was easy. Jesus said you want to suffer tribulation, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world see. So if you overcome the world. I have overcome the world. And so, in light of what we are saying tonight is the word of God says there's going to be people who were called and they are going to be people who were chosen make sure that you have been chosen. Make sure that you have the relationship that is outlined in the Scripture that God wants you to have in order to stand before him, so you won't be ashamed and passed.

I guarantee you that man woman bore girl that listen right now what we talking about here.

They'll understand my strength is nothing like the strength that the Lord Jesus Christ has for me and he can get you to whatever level you need to be at in order to overcome any situation in your life any circumstance in your life. Satan is after your soul saints that that's where the battle is, the battle is for you so and your soul. Your soul is where your emotions, your will and your mind and your feelings all at takes place in the soul so when I hear when I hear things coming in all of a sudden my mind is processing these things is come into my conscious mind is being deposited into my subconscious mind, don't you know when things are deposited into your subconscious mind that's why you are able to remember what you remember because your conscious mind. Put that in your subconscious. How many times have you rode a bicycle when you were nine or 10 years old you get on the bicycle right now you write it just like you were nine or 10 years old.

You remember how to ride a bike you don't forget it is because it's been depositing Lord going on. I just love the Lord, pastor, you know, we just thank God for you, we don't have you back sometime in the future, but we know that the Lord is in you because he know he working even any last words. The Lord God made man in that relationship. Thank you as we wrap up today show.
