Many Are Invited But Few Are Chosen!


Christ Jesus told the parable of the Wedding Banquet
At the end of which he said:

'Many are invited but few are chosen.' (Matthew 22:14)

Everyone who reads this has been invited to the Wedding Banquet.
Let's look at some of those who have been chosen:
Able presented and acceptable offering to his God and was killed for it.
Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
Noah was a righteous man who at the command of God built and Ark
And endured the derision of his whole culture for more than 100 years.
Abraham, at the command of God, left his people
And went to a land he did not know.
Jacob wrestled with God and had his name and nature changed.
Joseph was sold into slavery, wrongly accused, sent to prison
But overcame and saved his family from starvation.
Moses spent 40 years in the desert and became God's instrument of deliverance for the nation of Israel.
Joshua was the understudy of Moses and learned well; God then used him
To take the nation Israel into the Promised Land.
The Judges were used by God to bring His people back
Into right relationship with Him after they had turned away. They all faced daunting challenges in so doing.
Samuel, the first of the prophets, was used by God to lead Israel.
He lead the recalcitrant nation until he died.
David was a man after God's own heart; the warrior who endured much hardship before and after he was made king; A writer of Psalms.
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel and the remaining prophets all endured terrible hardship in proclaiming the Word of God to the wayward nation Israel.
John The Baptist, proclaimed the coming of the Messiah, the Christ,
The Anointed One. He proclaimed the righteousness of God and died for it.
Eleven Apostles, including Paul, all went to their deaths for Christ Jesus.
Only John died a natural death but spent his later life in prison.
Early Christians were persecuted and many died for Christ Jesus.
Christians throughout the Church Age, the last 2,000 years, were persecuted and died for Christ Jesus, in bringing the Good News to the lost.

Here we are in the Last Day. What do you think will be required of us?
Will we simply skip into Eternity untouched? Raptured!
Will God require nothing of us.
What does the Word of God tell us about this time, the END Time?

But before all this [the signs of the Last Day],
They will lay hands on you and persecute you.
They will deliver you to synagogues [Churches] and prisons,
And you will be brought before kings and governors,
And all on account of My Name.
This will result in your being witnesses to them.
But make up your mind not to worry before hand
How you will defend yourselves.
For I will give you words and wisdom
That none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.
You will be betrayed by parents, brothers, relatives and friends,
And they will put some of you to death.
All men will hate you because of Me.
But not a hair of your head will perish.
By standing firm [in faith] you will save yourselves. (Luke 21:12-19)

So, those who are chosen in the Last Day, will go through the same things
That all previous chosen ones have gone through.
Who is telling you this TODAY?
The Word of God is telling you this today if you have ears to hear.
Those who are looking for some prophet to tell them what lies ahead
Need to look into The Word of God.
Much of the Church today has been overcome by the culture;
They are simply a religious extension of the culture;
Focusing on the goodness of God and not upon the WHOLE TRUTH OF GOD.
Trying to make their way in a world
That is hopeless, helpless and condemned.

Noah could not change his culture, but he could build an Ark.
He was a preacher of righteousness and that is what we are to be.
However, in the end, it was to no avail for his culture.
They were blind, deceived; hopeless, helpless and condemned
Because they would not listen to Noah proclaiming The Word of God.

Today, The Word of God has little relevance to our culture.
It is often distorted by those who preach it.
It is proclaimed by some as all goodness with no consequence.
Large portions of Scripture remain unspoken! Whole Books!
It is like The Day of Noah as Christ Jesus said it would be.

Today, who will be chosen?
Those chosen will be the same as all their predecessors;
They will overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of their testimony.
Not loving this life so much as to shrink from death. (Revelation 12:11)
I pray that that includes all who read this message.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)
As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

  1. I would like to share several dreams and visions given through the Holy Spirit:
    After speaking forth to the group the Lord sent me to. I was sitting still pondering as I had my laptop opened and had just written to them what the Lord pressed upon me to do, I obeyed Him, no matter their thoughts or words against me. I than had an open vision. We live across from a field , a large field out in the country here in the USA.
    I saw a LARGE hand come into view. He pointed out over the large field and spoke this forth: I am sending My people out their to a lost people, He than pointed back to the laptop and spoke yet again, " Who have NEVER witnessed such apostasy as this, pointing to forum as my laptop was opened. -end of vision.

    As I read the above it reminded me of the vision of the wedding invitations I had saw in a vision at night upon my bed. Pure white wedding invitations were handed to me. The next day as I was getting ready to head out, I heard this loud and clear through the Holy Spirit- " Go to the highways and to the byways." I knew He was speaking to me concerning going to the lost. Unless the Lord send His people forth and called of by the Lord, than they are not TRULY sent by Him. It must be all of the Lords doing, He knows whom hearts are opened to receive of Him. He is preparing His people and this is close at hand the going forth unto a lost people in this world.


    I than felt to go to the word and the Lord showed me this below:

  2. Matthew 22- the wedding invite:)
    1Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying, 2“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. 3“And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come. 4“Again he sent out other slaves saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast.”’ 5“But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to his business, 6and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them. 7“But the king was enraged, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire. 8“Then he said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9‘Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.’ 10“Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests. 11“But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless. 13“Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14“For many are called, but few are chosen.”


    The wedding clothes- (Washed in the blood, filled with the Holy Spirit)

    Romans 13:14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

    Col 3:12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

    1Peter 5:5 Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

    the wedding clothes at the marriage feast of the lamb with

    "righteous deeds."

    Rev 19:7-9 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

    Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear. (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.

    Then the angel said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!'

  3. As I was laying still, resting. A vision came into view. I saw the appearance of God sitting at the throne. I did not see His face but knew that it was God. He was holding the bible open upon his lap. His right hand the back of the cover and on it and his left hand to the front cover and his right hand on the back of book. God than took his right hand off of the opened bible. He focused on the bible and I saw a burnt place on the back cover of the bible , even through some pages. It ignited in a Fire. "These words came to me,

    "I AM a Consuming FIRE."

    For God is a consuming fire indeed! Than God seated at the throne tipped the opened bible forward and as I watched water poured and poured out of it. So much water being poured forth. I saw the water literally pour through the pages of the bible. It was as if it was unending. I saw the mountain of God and as the water poured forth from the opened bible it poured forth over the mountain and ran down. This remained for what seemed a long time.

    The vision changed. I now saw as a man dressed in a white robe holding, hugging and arms around a tall like building. It was leaning and I knew that it was Jesus. He was weeping as I knew He was bringing the erect leaning building down. Completely was going to bring it down.

    I than heard this as he wept, He spoke forth, " Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, How I loved you. BUT, you have FORSAKEN ME THE FOUNTAIN OF LIVING WATERS."

    The vision yet changed again and I saw two hands and Jesus from his waist down. He spoke yet again. I will never make with thee another covenant with you. For I will break the two sticks Favor and Beauty in half. (Zechariah ch.11) As I watched he broke the stick in half and I saw the end of the stick as he held it, it was now smoldering, smoking. It seemed as if this was shown for an amount of time.

    The vision yet changed again. I saw that it was in a dark deep, not shallow but deep like pit as I watched I saw a man like little frail in appearance as an imp. He was hiding in some rocks piled up in a corner. He lifted his head and looked as though He knew he could now come up and out of that deep dark place. He began to climb, climb up the pit wall and I knew the Lord was NOW releasing him to come up from out of the pit.
    end of vision.

    I knew he was weeping over America :((((((( revelation given by the Holy Ghost~

  4. I laid down this afternoon and was given a dream.
    In the dream there were few people with me.
    I had a motorcycle, others wanted to ride on and to take off on, to play around.
    I sternly told them no.
    They didnt know how to drive one and they would wreck. They threw a fit.

    The scene changes. I look down and there is a dark deep hole in the ground.
    the grass is blowing around the top of the hole. I see it as a breeze and or wind
    blowing the grass
    around this hole. I brushed stuff off into the deep hole. As I watched it I saw
    something devour what I had
    brushed off into the deep pit. I saw utter darkness as I looked. Something
    was stirring and ready to come up
    out of the hole. I saw a long green snake come up out of the hole and was chasing after me.
    I ran and grabbed a living plant. Its mouth was carniverous. I took the Long living vine/plant
    which had a mouth on it and it drove the snake back and away and devoured the snake.


    My mother wanted me to go to the store with her to pick her friend up
    something. I said NO, I do not want to go. She said sure you do. I said what is it u r getting her?
    she said a Rook.

    I then was standing and looking afar off over a large area of ground. I saw the
    most incredible sight. I saw built up on a huge foundation an ark half built. Completely
    half built.
    I saw two other buildings being built up yet half built. It was going to take

    3 and half more
    years to finish the building of and complete.
    ( I will share more concerning this 3 and half more years as 6 months later the Lord brought forth more)

    There were few workers, they were sparse.

    I woke up pondering the dream and this is what came to me. The green snake was that
    ole serpent chasing after the saints of God. The alive Living plant is Jesus Christ.
    The mouth of the plant -carniverous- will be subdued by the word of the Son of God.
    Sword of the Spirit.

    The motorcycle is the working and power of the Holy Spirit. You cannot operate in anothers gifts
    nor play around with.
    JESUS COULDNT HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER THAN THIS:
    Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

    Mother - is the mother church- the apostate-picking up the (Rook) more and more in the defrauding of others and cheating others , swindling for there own selfish gain/ needs. Leading others off the straight and narrow path. The only holy path is the path of Jesus Christ our Lord!

    Rook means this: a swindler; cheat,to swindle, cheat, defraud, etc.
    An Old World bird (Corvus frugilegus) that resembles the North American crow and nests in colonies near the tops of trees.

    The workers being few-
    And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers/workers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Luke 10:2

    For my Jesus is the Living Vine-with a Sharp Sword-mouth- the
    Spirit of the Living God.
    "I am the vine; you are the branches. ... "Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches.
    Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit.
    John 15:5

    Ezekiel 28: 25‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and will manifest My holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they will live in their land which I gave to My servant Jacob. 26“They will live in it securely; and they will build houses, plant vineyards and live securely when I execute judgments upon all who scorn them round about them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”

  5. 6 months later the Lord showed me this, that their were now a few more laborers working and that the wall was almost complete where it had been unfinished.

    I saw the long wood planks being placed up by the hands of those laoboring. I than saw a beautiful mountain coming down from above.
    (The Lord revealed to me that like Noahs ark, it rested on top of a mountain. It sat their for quite awhile with them all inside.)

    We are probably now under the 3 year timing of the completeness of. He is making us complete in HIM- He is our spiritual ark, yet He shows us spiritually where we are at when walking with our Lord and Savior, Shepherd and King, Jesus!

    The first dove sent out was in Noahs timing. The second
    descending upon Jesus. their will be a third. For me the below here also symbolizes
    this completion of in His people: the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost-
    I was given a vision in where I saw two doves were flying about , I than watched a 3rd dove join them. They stopped 7-feet from off the ground and in a perfect/complete togetherness they flew straight up.

  6. The foundation of thy house is upon a solid rock

    The spirit of the lamp is tall, upright and righteous in its place

    Casting its illumination in all directions, it has no beginning or ending

    Shining forth brightly, dispersing the despair of the looming darkness

    Beckoning hope and salvation to the weary voyager

    Oh to be such a lamp ………… Oh, Lord, continue to make us and our lights shine brighter and brighter until Your Coming! Help us to make use of the time, and cause us to be always alert and ever watching, in Jesus Precious Name!
