The role of the elect of God as we wait for the coming of Jesus

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

This world today is active and violent in trying to accomplish their purposes, none of which have anything to do with us, the elect of God, as we wait for Jesus to return.

 

The apostate churches are big and powerful looking, but their power is of man and not of God.

 

The elect of God, those individuals to whom God has revealed HIMSELF, do not seem to have any power when it comes to the world or to the apostate churches.  But our hope is in God!  God is power. 

 

The apostle Peter told us what we are to be diligent to do as we wait for the return of Jesus.

 

2 Peter 3:14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Being in peace does not in any way mean we support the apostate churches today, nor do we support the works of the world which go against that which we read in the Bible.  If we try to appease either the world or the apostate churches, we will be in danger of going down with them at the judgment of Christ.

 

When they try to come among us as they speak contrary doctrines and tell of their many "good" works, we simply remain steadfast in the upholding of doctrines of the Bible and I have found they no longer want to come "visit" with me and they don't want personal conversations with me so I remain waiting in peace, untroubled by them.

 

Many times I have sent the word of God to various church goers, Catholics, Church of Christ, Baptists, non-denominational ... and they have stayed away from me en-mass. (continuing in their denominations)  while I continue in the peace of the word given me by God, continuing to exhort the elect of God through Internet by blog and Podcasts.

 

Recently there was a brief moment of attempted communication between me and a Catholic woman.  But a great wall seems to exist keeping us from fleshly "fellowship" that we might have pursued, left to our own devices.  God spared me!  She said, "I'll call you this weekend."  I called on God asking HIM to "help me".  There was no phone call that weekend.

 

Our flesh does get stirred up as we desire to renew communications with them, but how can light fellowship with darkness? It is not possible.

 

Only when we are truly one Spirit are we able to fellowship as the elect of God.

 

When we are the elect of God, born again, and they are the church goers there is a great gulf between us.

 

Amos 3:3   Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

 

So we continue our wait for the return of Jesus speaking to the elect of God.

 

It seems important at the point in time for us to differentiate between the elect of God and the church goers.

 

Jesus is coming to gather the elect of God to HIMSELF.

 

Matthew 24:30-31  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

If the church goers become born again by the Spirit of God, then we are one Spirit with them and we are all the elect as we await for Jesus and in some individual cases this could happen.  But I doubt this will happen with entire church groups.

 

The elect will never be able to share with the church goers because we are different spirits, although we will speak as led by the Holy Spirit given the opportunity to speak.  (After I speak I see them withdraw.)

 

We cannot pretend to have fellowship with this world or with the church goers who do not have the Spirit of God else we are continually troubled by them.

 

Light and darkness cannot co-exist.

 

But we can be at peace away from them, putting our trust in God.

 

2 Corinthians 6

 

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be MY people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you,

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
