I'm asking that someone with a very deep understanding, able to go deep, please explain Matthew 22:14 to me (For many are called but few are chosen). I know what I read and think I have a good grasp, but welcome a deeper interpretation. Thank you
Verse 14 is the conclusion, and the teaching of the parable of the wedding feast:
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
We can see the application of what it means that many are called, but few are chosen?
Even people who want to come to the wedding feast, if they don't have the proper garments, they will not be chosen. Period!
Many are called but few are chosen.
This man was at the wedding feast. He was there. He was at the banqueting table, but he was asked leave. Well, he wasn't asked to leave, the ushers took him out.
He was not chosen. He didn't have the proper wedding garment on!
And the bible is very clear, especially when you get into the book of Revelation, is that when we are in heaven, we will be clothed in the robes of the righteousness of Christ.
In fact, we will have on white robes that have been dipped in blood. And they will be pure white. It is because of the purity of Christ and the forgiveness of Christ.
Only those people who have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, and who are dressed in His righteousness, will be at God's banqueting table.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I (Jesus) will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
[The Lord knocks on the doors of our hearts. He says he will come in, break the bread of the Word of God with us.]
He does this through the person of the Holy Spirit. John 16:7
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him to you."
John 16:12-16
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ. He reveals Jesus to us; and shows us what the Scriptures mean__to our born again spirits.
A person has to be born again. You might go out to the red link page, and find Become A Christian and just read that part and say the prayer that's in there.
There is nothing more wonderful than hearing him through your spirit. His Voice will NEVER frighten you. I say this when studying the Bible, "Come Holy Spirit and Teach me the Word."
Hi Hinhe To make a point the spirit we are given is the gift of Holy Spirit as we change our thinking to Gods Word then we walk better by the spirit we were given we are not controlled by it we operate it that's why its called gift. Then the more you exercise your thoughts the more we work or operate the gift. The Spirit comes in use once I.E. born again.
We are led by the spirit of God , and by the renewing of the mind in the word of God we are conformed to God not the world . If we are in tune with God by his Holy Spirit we also know when others are not in tune .
Hinhe In the Epistle to the Philippians the main focus is being like minded and the fellowship in the spirit. Phil. !:5, 2:1,2,20 also the walk i love on with another in the gospel. As Jesus Christ said by this love we are known.
Reasons to learn Dominion and Authority of Jesus - In Reply - 3 years ago
I learned as a baby Christian how to bind and cast out demons. Maybe we can't see them, but their stinking fruit is all over the place. They were pretty sure I needed killing. I don't know why?
When I found out demons don't have authority to do anything__because THEY ARE NOT HUMAN! NEITHER IS SATAN!! HE IS A CREATED BEING.
He was 4th in line to the Throne and got tossed out by Michael to earth, on Fathers order. All his hostilities are directed to those God loves. He loves Jesus, and Jesus loves me!
The deal is, Jesus is the Son of God AND THE SON OF MAN. Human. He gave us his Authority to cast out demons, heal the sick, raise the dead. I haven't raised anyone deceased. My Dad aspirated food the night he died. He was drowning. My siblings signed a DNR with my mother and didn't tell me. Alone I watched my Dad struggle at least an hour. I begged God to heal him. I begged nurses to summon an ambulance.
A spirit came in his room (death?) and said audible, LEAVE! I'm going to take your father now!
I was ready to fight, but the sight of Dad drowning was unbearable. I was gone 3 minutes. When I came back, my dads face was relaxed, kind of glowing and looked happy. I said, I'll see you later Dad and I went home.
The really bad thing about sex demons, is that it isn't human. It seeks a body to borrow and they'll use any body available that is NOT indwelled by the Holy Spirit and washed in the blood of Jesus.
That's what marriage between Christians is for: protection of the family.
It's also why porn is so hard to put away. You don't watch that alone. Demons are there too.
BUT THERE IS HOPE! We have Dominion, God gave to humans in Genesis. And Jesus gives us His Authority to cast out all NON HUMANS, into outer darkness to wander. Use Bible names. Everything sexual is AN UNCLEAN SPIRIT.

Hi Clayton My understanding in context is many will are given the call to believe in God through his son but few will make the choice and change and do walk others will try shortcuts so to speak, notice how many times he was addressing the pharisees and the sadducees and they knew he was condemning there practices. There's other aspects or points of thought.

There are seducing spirits out there too can they come too ?
How about some solid scriptures on inviting Spirits .
Thank you
This also has been my experience.

If anyone invited the Holy Spirit , it seems to me that would make him a guest . And the Inviter the host . Seems kinda backwards to me .
God calls to repentance and the repentant one is in subjection to God in everything.
Even those that said to the Lord Jesus after the door was closed they cast out demons and did many wonderful works .
So if you have solid verses of scriptures, let's take a look . Thank you !
