Chosen....for real

I was just thinking and I started thinking about those great men of God in the Bible like Moses, Joshua, Jeremiah, Peter, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph….etc. Those people were appointed and CHOSEN by God (not by man). They didn’t get to the “position” they were in by people they knew or organization they were in or by who their dads, uncles etc. were…know what I mean?....They really relied on God for everything. They didn’t look for people’s approval but only Gods approval. They didn’t look for fame or popularity or even to be known. They were raw with God and they didn’t have hidden intentions. Sometimes I think what if there was no apostolic assembly, organizations or church……what if all we had is God?...would there still be men and women of God eager to do his work?........would the people that were “appointed” and “chosen” as ministers still be ministers and active in the ministry?...would singers and musicians still be musicians and singers for God and have a desire to use their gift for God’s glory and will?....I want to be like Jeremiah and all those men of God in the Bible…..They didn’t need a pulpit or a known family name to be used by God….all they had was God….they heard God’s voice and were obedient…..you want to know who I respect and admire?....those men and women of God that you never hear of that are out there in the world doing God’s work….I’m not saying that there is something wrong with people that are not out there because God has a purpose for everyone’s life. I wonder and encourage to ask yourself….why do you do what you do for God?....really check yourself….I know I have…I mean for example…if you’re a musician….why are you up there?...is it because you really want to minister and be used by God to change peoples lives?....or is it because it’s just something else to do and you just do it to occupy yourself?....or maybe just because you like playing?....or to be seen up there?....be known?....all I want to be is genuine with God….don’t you?....I mean what can we hide from God…we can’t fool him…he knows our intentions…..if you are Chosen by God and you obey God and who ever God has put as your authority (pastor, youth pastor), then nothing can take away what God has given you…you’ll find yourself being in God’s favor….no matter who or what comes….I just thought I would let you guys in my mind…..It’s what I have been feeling for a long time….always wanting more from God….and wanting only having to rely on him….There’s more to God than just organized church…..let’s really search him……get deep with him…

This post is kind of all over the place…..I was just writing what came to my mind….freestyle…sick…clean
