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

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

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
