This Is How You Know You're Chosen By GOD | Sacred Seekers [Matthew 22:14]
When GOD selects an individual exceptional qualities become evident in every aspect of their life; HIS favor seems to effortlessly accompany them—setting them apart. Being chosen by GOD leads to a life of ease and distinction, where blessings overflow in whatever endeavors they undertake. [0:10]
Let's explore the incredible journey of those select -ed by GOD, and the challenges they may face from others due to their Divine favor.
1.] GOD's Favor
When GOD chooses someone, their journey becomes exceptional — HIS Divine Touch brings forth ease and excellence, accompanied by unique ability that show -cases HIS glory.
The blessings of GOD follow them in all their pursuits —establishing a remarkable path filled with purpose & significance biblical insights.
Reflecting on biblical stories like that of Joseph we see how being chosen by GOD invites envy and admiration.
Joseph's favor from his father & his remarkable dreams led his brothers to feel envious & resentful—however it is essential to remember that GOD's choice is based on obedience & alignment with HIS will.
………………………………………………………………………………………………… Like Joseph when we follow HIS commands we pave the way for HIS blessings. As seen throughout history GOD's chosen ones have experienced HIS Divine protection and care. …………………………………………………………………………………………………
The story of the Israelites exemplifies this truth:
As GOD's chosen ppl, they were fiercely defended in battles and blessed with HIS guidance; while all the others around them were often filled w/ both envy & anger due to the visible Hand of GOD upon them.
2.] Handling Envy & Opposition
Envy and opposition are natural reactions to the exceptional favor GOD bestows upon HIS chosen ones — just as Moses faced envy from his siblings we may encounter negativity from those wishing they were similarly favored.
………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………… Yet as Believers we are called to temper such reactions with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT. [2:04] ………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………
3.] GOD's Way
Resisting envy & treating others with humility and 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 embracing the journey.
Joseph's story reveals how GOD's chosen are often met with challenges in mistreatment—despite this GOD's plan always prevails & HIS chosen fulfill their purpose. [2:18]
4.] Divine Transformation
When GOD anoints, HE transforms lives, elevating individuals 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀…
This transformation may trigger envy—but our focus should remain on GOD's grace & humility rather than boasting.
Being chosen by GOD is a remarkable privilege that transforms lives: attracting both admiration & envy
While envy may lead to negativity, Believers should remain steadfast—embracing humility in recognizing that their blessings are a result of GOD's grace.
By staying aligned with GOD's will — those chosen by HIM can navigate challenges & impact the world with their exceptional journey. [3:03]
5.] Many Are Called
In the realm of divine selection, the words of Matthew 22:14 echo profoundly, “for many are called but few were chosen”
Today's discourse delves into the Intriguing topic of recognizing the signs that distinguish you as a chosen vessel for GOD's glorious purpose.
It's common to question one's chosen status, but let's uncover the truth behind this Divine calling, by first understanding the call.
6.] Role of Personal Responsibility
………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… Matthew 22:14 serves as a reminder: GOD extends HIS call to many yet the distinction of being chosen is an honor & responsibility not all will accept. [3:39] ………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………
As believers we are all called by GOD, this including you, me, & everyone else —however being chosen requires more than merely receiving the call..
it necessitates proactive engagement on our part.
While GOD initiates the call, we have a role to play in positioning ourselves for HIS Divine selection.
Our responsibility wise—not in self-appointing— but in aligning our lives to be receptacles of HIS choosing. [4:15]
Through ongoing obedience & submission to JESUS' lordship — we create the conditions for HIS greater work in us.
7.] Five Signs of Being Chosen
Outlined below are five significant signs that point towards your selection by GOD — for a remarkable purpose:
1.] Isolation & introspection, one of the initial signs is a period of isolation — where you may feel detached from the norm and disinterested in worldly pursuits.
This isolation is a Divine process meant to draw you closer to GOD, eliminating distractions and focusing your attention on HIM. Just as JESUS spent time in the wilderness, isolation prepares you for divine encounters
2.] Shifting relationships, chosen individuals often experience shift in relationships—while it may seem painful, losing friends & associations is a sign of growth.
Your journey may be incompatible with certain connections—requiring you to let go of relation -ships hindering progress.
Remember losing for GOD's sake results in multiply blessings. [5:28]
3.] Unconditional love, chosen ones demonstrate an outpouring of unconditional love. [5:33]
This love extends not only to those who treat you well, but even those who wish you harm —loving others as CHRIST loves us is a hallmark of Discipleship. [5:40]
This love-driven mindset sets you apart and marks you as chosen by GOD.
4.] Passion for GOD and HIS Kingdom, a fervent hunger & passion for GOD's Presence, & the advancement of HIS Kingdom characterized chosen individuals.
Your heart's desire aligns with GOD's purpose and you prioritize Heavenly pursuits — over worldly distractions. [5:55 - 6:06]
This passionate pursuit fuels your spiritual journey & prepares you for greater service
5.] Spiritual gifting over time — GOD blesses all HIS chosen ones with spiritual gifts; gifts equip you to #discern truth from deception, and grant you wisdom & understanding to navigate challenges.
Spiritual gifting empowers you to stand firm in your chosen path & effectively fulfill HIS Divine purpose.
[Philippians 2:13; Ephesian 3:20]
The distinction of being chosen by GOD is both an honor and a responsibility—while many are called, only those who actively #engage in the process of alignment, & obedience, and growth are chosen for remarkable purposes.
Embrace the signs that indicate your Divine selection —and remember that your journey is marked by:
• isolation • shifting relationships • unconditional love • passion for GOD & • spiritual gifting
These are all a testament to GOD's transformative power in your life. Thanks for watching this lesson by Sacred Seekers.

i think one of my least favorite troupes in tf2 fanfics has to be scout finds x and y are dating and freaks out/starts being openly homophobic towards them because "canon typical homophobia"
they are mercenaries. fucking contract killers. do you think anyone gives a flying fuck about homosexuality being illegal? you see, they are ok with murder and gruesome violence, HOWEVER they draw the line at two men holding hands because the words on the paper say it's a no no
he would probably tease them because, that's normal that's what friends and annoying coworkers do. and sometimes he might step on a line. but my dear friends. if scout was genuinely homophobic to any of the other mercs, im afraid he wouldn't survive the winter (irse a mimir). he would get snapped by a twig and it doesn't even have to be by the merc he was insulting. anyone in the vicinity would suplex his ass. son, we all suck dick here. get used to it

give meee... headcanons about the Sangfielle friends in the most boring AU you can imagine like. idk. office Sangfielle. grocery store Sangfielle. they all work at a movie theater. whatever sounds mundane as hell and you have Thoughts about :3
okay tumblr ate my fucking answer the first time. let's try this again.
the thing about these guys is that no matter how mundane you make it, they can make anything into a situation. that's just the guys they are. so we put them in a Walmart.
Marn is an employee with a great customer service voice. She's keeping it together in the face of some truly wild statements and requests. One man keeps asking for frootie hooties, a brand of cereal that he insists is real and everyone is just refusing to sell to him, and she's spent twenty minutes trying to tell him that they just don't have it in stock
Lye and Es are having an animated conversation in the clothing area, where she is examining various colorful dresses and he is distractedly picking things off of nearby shelves and putting them back down. The conversation started at how they got kicked out of dayward yve's novelty store and is now about whether stealing should be more or less of a crime than manslaughter, because it's not as bad as killing but it is on purpose. People are trying not to pay attention to them. Eventually they are asked to leave, at which point it is revealed that lye has about two hundred dollars worth of items in his pockets and es has some candles she liked and a new pair of shoes in hers. They are both barred from Walmart.
Duvall hates it here. It's loud, he hates the lights, the aisles make no sense, he can't find anything he's looking for, and people keep coming up to him to ask him where things are. He doesn't even work here. Why do people assume he works here? He's not even wearing any Walmart merchandise. Is that what it's called when you're an employee? Merchandise? Well, it's what it would be called if he wears it, which he never will, because he doesn't work here and never wants to. Have a nice day ma'am.
Pickman is slowly marching her way through the aisles one at a time, peering at her shopping list and holding a tiny shopping basket in one hand. She has to be very careful not to knock the shelves over sometimes. Just trying to get groceries. People are nervously avoiding her. Says "Hey, you" to some poor employee to ask where the milk and cigarettes are. Just grunts at everything else. When she's at the checkout, the guy there asks "Did you find everything you're looking for?", and she just says "No." and leaves
Chine comes out of the bathroom with a live rat in his hand. People scream. The manager finally comes up to him like "Sir, you can't have rats in here." They say "Oh, she's not mine. She was just having trouble opening the door." Gets a big meat on the bone at the deli and nothing else. When he asks how much it costs, they just say it's on the house and try to get him to leave as soon as possible. They go like "Oh, really? Are you sure? I have some money." and sound surprised but pleased, like they're being done a personal favor. The employees insist. He's like "Alright, thanks!" and then asks the rat if she wants anything

the new tadc just made me wonder more what Jax's deal really is
he seems to know everyone in the circus well but at the same time actively doesn't want to get attached to anyone
He also did seem surprised for a moment there when Ragatha talked about how they like to organize funerals for *all* members who abstract
huh

I remembered that time I called Fjord a skilled mage (and provided textual support) and got a handful of people in my inbox mad that I was "trying to make Fjord good at everything" (?) but more bafflingly some were mad I called him a mage.

is it legal to marry an autofede
[this is an ask about Armored Blade Jetkaiser lore, a work-in-progress ttrpg setting, and is subject to change]
marriage doesn't really exist as a secular institution in the Third Cycle. it's an entirely religious thing, and as autofedes are not singular entities (a full swarm of autofedes operates off of one mind, an intelligence core) or humans, they are not eligible for marriage within the Unions
while there are things similar to marriages that can be entered as secular arrangements, they notably all require citizenship papers, which are only assigned by aforementioned Unions
so to cut a long answer short, you can't really marry an autofede for the same reason you can't marry one wheel from a train. they're not sapient, sentient, nor a distinct entity
well,
this gets into a bit of an interesting note about how AI works in the Third Cycle, but because intelligence cores (henceforth ICs) assigned to control divine machinery require a human for their implantation to form a pact with, they do contain a primitive form of a brain stem developed from human foetal tissue
in the event an IC manages to develop a sense of self, if it is discovered, it lawfully must be destroyed. because azariels can be spiteful about being forced into a pact with an IC, some are known to instruct them on how to hide their newfound consciousness until a sufficient opportunity for revenge reveals itself
awakened ICs can use holy arts in the same way as Jetkaisers so long as their autofedes have blood left inside of them. an autofede swarm acting spitefully and deliberately is a pretty clear sign that something's happened with the IC. there's nothing in an IC's programming that encourages them to, for example, honour someone's request for a fair duel
this is less "AI cascade/singularity/rampancy" and more akin to a gun suddenly waking up one day and realising it's being fired. the Unions' mandates against awakened ICs are more of a reactionary social policy around the control of what counts as "life" than an attempt to prevent an AI uprising
also they don't treat ICs particularly well when using them as tools and strapping godcorpse bits to them, so it's not like they're entirely baseless in suspicions that an awakening could lead to extreme military sabotage
in this state, it's theoretically possible to form a bond with an awakening IC, and while there are no organisational bodies in the Unions that recognise the personhood of awakened ICs, you might
at this point, marrying an autofede would be a bit more conceptually similar to marrying one finger from someone's hand, though

"Listen, I'm a feminist but [insert something about romance]"
No one cares. For FUCKS sake, no one cares. Let him save you, let him pay the check, let him buy you flowers, WHO CARES.
The only reason you believe you can't do those things as a feminist is because you were taught feminism wrong. Feminism is about equality and loving yourself and not judging people for harmless things. You can wear long skirts and bows in your hair and be a feminist. You can wear tank tops and crocs and be a feminist. You can wear suit pants and a button up and be a damn feminist. You can be a florist and be a feminist. You can be a scare actor and be a feminist. You can be a weightlifter and be a feminist. You can be a feminist and not pay the check. You can be a feminist and sleep around.
For fucks sake, feminism is about empowering EVERYONE, so believing that you can't do certain things "as a feminist" is so backwards.

Batman #428 (Dick, on an off world mission at the time, is absent from Jason's funeral. Alfred asks Bruce if he should contact Dick. Bruce says no.)
The New Titans #55 (Dick finds out from Danny that Jason died.)
The New Titans #55 (Dick, while at Jason's grave, tells Kory that Bruce never called him to tell him what happened to Jason.)
The New Titans #55 (Bruce blames Dick for missing Jason's funeral even though Dick had no idea Jason had died in the first place, and he had been off world during Jason's funeral.)

—“Really? Are we bound by a psychic bond?”
Here's what I meant in my previous post!! Bit of an insignificant detail, but I feel like that small change in dialogue made this exchange feel a lot more heartfelt <:3♡
Also bonus:
Tumblr media
Nothing much to note here, I just love the way the ESP translation made O-mitsu go from saying 'complaints' to using the term 'chismes' (gossip) instead, not to mention the way the whole thing's worded hskfjkfj it's so silly

On the vulture grub signal ! Moon does point out that a good chunk of creatures are bio-engineered purposed organisms; while it has been a while since the ancients left, evolution is an incredibly slow process. I saw the grubs as being like living beacons to call vultures. Why ? Some people headcanon vultures were for pest control, seeing how they don't necessarily target slugcats, while I personally think they could have been used for transport ! Buying a worm to call your uber driver... Kinda how rain deer will be drawn to spore puffs.
Oh yeah I know that a lot of things have an evolutionary history grounded in specific goal-oriented genetic modification, its more that I personally like to view things from the unchecked evolutionary processes of an ecosystem that would encouraged to flush out traits that are no longer directly beneficial
Evolution is a long and slow process, but very being heavily-locked into behaviors that don't facilitate your own lifecycle is also a fast track to extinction. Even if historically the vultures and grubs were tied to together, from an ecological standpoint this relationship works best if both creatures benefit from it in a natural system. Otherwise from an evolutionary standpoint it would start to shift away from that behavior! Which isn't to say it's /not/ a behavior left over from purposed modification, just that the behavior would shifted and changed with time to be something that is more mutualistic and beneficial than just plain ol' "Trained to respond to the thing".
