Is Believing in God Done By Mere Promptings of Man?
Does anybody would just come to believe God and he has faith right there and then?
How to Believe God?
The act of believing is initiated by God by way of inspiring or mental stimulation with the Holy Spirit He bestows upon people. The Bible call this process as “stirring” (Ezra 1:1, NLT).
Therefore, unless God imbues an individual with His Spirit whom He draws (John 6:44), faith on spiritual truths, as proclaimed herein, is simply next to impossible. Therefore, simultaneous bestowal of that power at the instance of hearing from this Site is the essence of what Paul asserts in the above-cited verse (1 Corinthians 3:6).
Called and Chosen | The Few | The Great Harvest | The Church
To Whom Does God Gives the empowering Spirit?
Given that “the whole world is under the control of the evil one” (1 John 5:19, NIV), overcomed and minds blinded (2 Corinthians 4:4), God shall not engage with Mankind that even their prayers He won’t hear. However, for special reasons, He eyes at certain people who He calls “little flock” (Luke 12:32) spread all over the world from all nationalities, races and cultures. They are the so-called “called and chosen few” (Matthew 22:14, Revelation 17:14, NLT) often referred to as FEW in this Site. To them are given the grace of faith for holy purposes not handed over the rest of Mankind.
WHY ONLY FEW?
Why is God choosing people whom He prepares for salvation now, so that only few in number are first to be destined for life? Why not calling now the entire humanity en masse, once and for all, so that the issue between God and Man ends?
This can be hinted in their very nature and characteristics which, by divine will or coincidence, those FEW people is the shrinkage of Firstfruits, Elect and Witnesses (Revelation 14:4, WEB; Mark 13:20, ASV; and, Acts 1:8, WEB).
Many religious leaders stumble on this as they, from the beginning, struggle in desperation trying to save every person at sight justifying with the words of Acts 22:16: “What are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on the name of the Lord (NLT)?
