    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 ❤

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    • @motivationradio-V
      @motivationradio-V День тому +2

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @motivationradio-V
      @motivationradio-V 2 дні тому +1

      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.

      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.
