"You Have Not Chosen Me"

John 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? Luke 6:13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; Act 9:13  Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: Act 9:14  And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. Act 9:15  But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel Jhn 15:16  Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,  🌟🌟and ordained you,  that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.  John 20:21-23 21  Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22  And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 23  Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained John 20:21-23 NLT Again he said, Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you. 22] Then he breathed on them and said, Receive the Holy Spirit.  23] If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven. Jeremiah 1:5  Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Matthew 28:18  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 1 Timothy 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, andlie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity 2 Timothy 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Jhn 15:16  Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you,  🌟🌟🌟that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and  that your fruit should remain:  that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.  John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 NLT When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. 🌟🌟Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Isaiah 55:10-11 NLT 10 "The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.  11] It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 NLT I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.  7] It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow.  8 The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work.  9 For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building. James 3:18 18  And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. James 1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God Proverbs 11:18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. James 3:14-17 NLT 14 But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don't cover up the truth with boasting and lying. 15] For jealousy and selfishness are not God's kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.  16] For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.  17] But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. Gal 5:16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal 5:17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Gal 5:18  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Gal 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 1 Timothy 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, Eph 5:9  (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Eph 5:10  Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. Eph 5:11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Ephesians 5:3-5 NLT 3 Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God's people.  4 Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes-these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. 5 You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
