Have You Been Called?
They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings -- and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers. (Revelation 17:14)
I must ask you a question: “Have you been called? Have you heard the call and the tug of the Holy Spirit to turn from your sin and place your faith in Christ?” If you have, and if you have responded to Jesus and answered the call, then you are His chosen. The only people who are chosen are those who are called. You might say, “I don't know if a certain person has been chosen.”
You don't have the playbook. You don't have the Lamb's Book of Life in front of you. You might say, “That person wasn't predestined.” You must understand predestination and chosen from a reverse perspective. If you have received Jesus as Lord of your life, you have turned from sin, you have heard the call and the tug of the Spirit; then you know that you are predestined. Because of that, you are called the chosen.
God picked you and He doesn’t want you to play right field. He wants you to be a major player in His Kingdom's work and be a faithful follower. If you have answered the call, you are chosen. God's plan for your life is that you would be His. You cannot help but faithfully follow Him.
If you haven’t yet accepted Christ, I pray that today is the day that you will make this decision. Don't hold back. Don't wait for Sunday to make a decision for Christ. Do it now! Turn from your sin. Place your faith in Christ and begin to have a brand-new life. In that moment, you will be born again, redeemed, set free, and saved. If you don't know Him, I pray that today you would surrender your life to Christ.

Unfortunately there are those that believe we were ALL predestined by God before the formation of the earth. Predestined by God to either eternity in hell or Heaven. This is a lie from satan that tries to mislead people into believing that it does not matter what we do, say or how we live because God has predetermined each person's eternity in Heaven or Hell.
Praise God He has created us with the freedom to reject or ACCEPT His free gift by His Grace, Mercy and Redemption. PRAISE GOD!!!
Yes, I have answered the call and I belong to Jesus. It is a sad thing that people think that if they are a good person that they will go to heaven.
I have accepted the call and belong to Jesus!
I Believe in The Word and I Belong To GOD, The Father, GOD The SON GOD The HOLY SPIRIT. PRAISE The Lord. Thank YOU JESUS !
