if you're watching this you're probably already feeling that something isn't quite right in the organized church maybe you've already left or maybe you're contemplating it but feeling uncertain about whether that's the right decision You're Not Alone In These Feelings the modern church has changed in ways that many of us struggle to accept many churches have shifted their focus away from what truly matters Faith love and devotion to God and have become entangled in materialism hypocrisy and even deception the Bible warns us about this in Matthew 6:24 where it says no one can serve two masters
either you will hate the one and love the other or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other you cannot serve both God and money this video will explore these truths and reassure you that it's okay to step away from these in institutions if they no longer feed your soul as chosen ones we are called to follow a different path one that often leads away from the traditional structures and toward a more personal intimate relationship with God as it says in 1 Peter 2:9 but you are a chosen people a royal priesthood
a holy nation God's special possession that you may declare the Praises of him who called you out of Darkness into his wonderful light let's dive into why leaving the church doesn't mean you're abandoning your faith in fact it could be the most spiritually liberating decision you'll ever make many churches today have lost touch with their original purpose what was once a place of spiritual nourishment has for some become a place of empty rituals the hymns are sung the sermons are preached the offering plate is passed but for many chosen ones these rituals no longer resonate
The Chosen one's Spirit craves authenticity real connection with God and deep spiritual truth Jesus spoke about this in Matthew 15: 8-9 these people honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me they worship me in vain their teachings are merely human rules the church with its structured routines May no longer fulfill that craving churches often get stuck in pattern repeating the same practices week after week year after year but God is dynamic his spirit moves evolves and grows within us as it says in 2 Corinthians 3:17 now the Lord is the spirit
and where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom it's no wonder that many chosen ones feel like they're spiritually suffocating in churches that prioritize routine over real spiritual experiences there's nothing inherently wrong with ritual but when rituals become the main focus the spirit suffers the heart of the chosen one Longs for direct communication with God and that often requires breaking away from practices that feel empty chosen ones don't need rituals to validate their relationship with God they need genuine encounters with the Divine encounters that go beyond the Sunday morning service in some cases
the church's structure can feel more like a barrier than a bridge to God the rigid routines and repetitive messages don't always leave room for the Holy Spirit to speak uniquely to you for chosen ones stepping outside of that structure can bring a profound sense of Freedom As Romans 122 reminds us do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is his good pleasing and perfect will and this is where the real Journey Begins when you
step away from the church's routines you open yourself up to a more profound connection with God one that is personal spontaneous and unrestricted by the expectations of others for many chosen ones the most transformative moments in their spiritual journey happen in solitude it's in The Quiet Moments away from the crowd that God speaks most clearly the church while offering Community can sometimes drown out that still Small Voice with noise programs and activities when chosen ones step away from the church they often find that they're able to hear God's voice more distinctly without the distraction of
organized events and the hustle and bustle of Church Life the soul is free to connect with the Divine in a deeper way Solitude for the chosen one is not loneliness it is a Sacred Space where communion with God becomes more intimate and meaningful think about it Jesus himself frequently withdrew from the crowds to pray in solitude in Luke 5:116 it says but Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed he understood the importance of stepping way to reconnect with the father for chosen ones this example is a reminder that Solitude is not only necessary but
also a gift it's in The Quiet Moments free from distraction that we come to understand our purpose more fully stepping away from the church doesn't mean stepping away from faith in fact many chosen ones find that their faith grows stronger outside of the institutional setting without the pressure to conform to to church Norms there is freedom to explore faith on a more personal level this allows for a deeper exploration of scripture prayer and meditation practices that are often rushed or overlooked in the busy schedule of church programs as Jesus said in Matthew 66 but when
you pray go into your room close the door and pray to your father who is unseen then your father who sees what is done in secret will reward you in Solitude the chosen one can focus on developing a direct relationship with God rather than relying on intermediaries like pastors or church leaders the beauty of this journey is that it allows for a more profound sense of connection to the Divine one that is uninterrupted and uniquely personal one of the most troubling Trends in modern churches is their increasing focus on material wealth for many chosen ones
this sh GI feels completely out of alignment with the true teachings of Jesus we're constantly reminded in Scripture that spiritual riches are far more important than material wealth in Matthew 6:1 19-21 Jesus says do not store up for yourselves Treasures on Earth where moths and Vermin destroy and where thieves break in and steal but store up for yourselves Treasures in Heaven where moths and Vermin do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steel for where your treasure is there your heart will be also yet many churches seem to have forgotten this essential
truth when churches prioritize money whether it's through constant fundraising efforts building expansions or Prosperity focused messages it can feel disheartening for those who are truly seeking spiritual growth the chosen one sees through this materialism and understands that a deep Rel relationship with God cannot be bought sold or measured by material success stepping away from a church that emphasizes materialism is not a rejection of community or faith it's a stand for authenticity the chosen ones know that God is not impressed by wealth titles or grand buildings first Samuel 16:7 reminds us the Lord does not look
at the things people look at people look at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart what matters to God is the condition of your heart your relationship with him and your commitment to living in alignment with his will by Breaking Free from the materialistic focus of the church chosen ones are able to refocus their energy on what truly matters spiritual growth deepening their relationship with God and living in alignment with their Divine Purpose in this space there's no pressure to keep up with the appearance of success or to contribute to endless Financial
campaigns instead the focus shifts to the internal wealth that comes from a close and personal connection with the Divine this doesn't mean the chosen ones reject generosity or Community Support on the contrary true generosity flows naturally from a heart that is aligned with God 2 Corinthians 9:7 says each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give not reluctantly or under compulsion for God loves a cheerful Giver it's just that for the chosen one spiritual wealth is far more valuable than anything that money can buy by stepping away from materialism they
are able to focus on cultivating that wealth in ways that serve their soul and honor their Divine calling the decision to step away from the traditional Church setting can feel like a huge leap of faith Faith but for chosen ones it's a leap that leads to unparalleled Freedom no longer are you Bound by the expectations of others or the constraints of an institution that may not align with your spiritual values this journey is about embracing the freedom that comes with being in direct communication with God Galatians 51 reminds us it is for Freedom that Christ
has set us free stand firm then and and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery it's about understanding that your spiritual path is unique and it doesn't have to look like anyone else's the freedom that chosen ones experience when they leave the church is not a freedom to live without God it's a freedom to live fully with god without the interference of institutional barriers in this space the relationship with God becomes even more personal even more intim without the need for a middleman you are free to explore your faith on
your terms whether that means spending more time in personal prayer meditating on scripture or simply listening for God's voice in everyday life the spiritual journey becomes richer and more fulfilling for many chosen ones this freedom is lifechanging suddenly the pressure to attend Services follow routines or adhere to a set Doctrine is lifted instead there's the freedom to follow where God is leading you whether that's into deeper study acts of service or simply living in the peace that comes from knowing that your relationship with God is exactly where it needs to be this journey also allows
chosen ones to redefine what community means Hebrews 10:24 to2 encourages us to consider how we may spur one another on toward love and Good Deeds not not giving up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the day approaching but Community doesn't always have to take the form of traditional Church Gatherings it's about connecting with others who are also walking a path of spiritual growth whether that's through small Gatherings online communities or simply sharing insights With Friends the community of chosen ones is
not limited by walls or geography it's a spiritual connection that transcends the physical and invites everyone to grow together in their Pursuit Of God by embracing this Freedom chosen ones find that their faith not only survives but thrives without the constraints of institutional religion the possibilities for spiritual growth are endless you are free to follow God wherever he leads without fear without judgment and Without Limits The Journey of the chosen one is about stepping into a deeper more personal relationship with God it's a relationship that is not defined by the traditional expectations of the church
or by what others think a spiritual life should look like in fact the Bible reminds us that we are called to follow a different path in Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus says enter through the narrow gate for wide is the gate and Broad is the the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it but small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it the chosen ones are those who walk the Narrow Path The Road Less Traveled this path of spiritual Freedom allows God's voice to become clearer
in our lives it removes distractions rituals and external pressures that may have once hindered our connection with the Divine the rituals that no longer serve our growth are replaced by genuine moments of connection with God moments where his Spirit guides us personally for many leaving the church feels like a bold even radical decision but for the chosen ones it is often a necessary step in their spiritual evolution by releasing the need to conform to institutional practices chosen ones can walk more authentically with God free from the limitations imposed by human structures and free to pursue
their relationship with him in their own unique way in John 4:23 to 24 Jesus speaks of the kind of worshippers God seeks yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the father in the spirit and in truth for they are the kind of worshippers the father seeks God is spirit and his worshippers must Worship in the SP spirit and in truth this is the essence of the chosen one's Journey worshiping God in spirit and in truth free from the constraints of human tradition As you move forward on your
journey remember that being chosen means being set apart in Romans 12 1-2 we are reminded therefore I urge you brothers and sisters in view of God's mercy to offer your bodies as a Living Sacrifice holy and pleasing to God this is your true and proper worship do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is his good pleasing and perfect will you are walking a path that may look different from those around you but it's
a path designed by God himself for your personal growth Enlightenment and fulfillment the Solitude the breaking away from Rich uals and the rejection of materialism are all part of this sacred journey in John 15:19 Jesus tells us if you belong to the world it would love you as its own as it is you do not belong to the world but I have chosen you out of the world that is why the world hates you this verse is a reminder that the chosen ones are set apart and their journey is uniquely designed by God this journey
leads to spiritual abundance personal empowerment and a deeper connection with the Divine you no longer need to rely on a church building to experience God's presence 1 Corinthians 3:16 reminds us don't you know that you yourselves are God's Temple and that God's spirit dwells in your midst you carry his Spirit within you and as a chosen one you are fully equipped to walk this path with faith confidence and Trust embrace the freedom that comes with leaving behind what no longer serves you and stepping into a more authentic direct relationship with God trust the process stay
connected to your faith and continue to seek the Divine in every moment of your journey remember you don't have to go to church anymore to grow spiritually you are free to follow where God leads you and in that freedom lies the true essence of your call calling as a Chosen One Trust in his Divine guidance as Proverbs 356 encourages us trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways submit to him and he will make your path straight now close your eyes and listen carefully as
we pray for guidance and peace on this journey of spiritual Freedom Heavenly Father we come before you with grateful Hearts thanking you for the gift of being chosen we Rec recognize that you have called us to walk a different path one that is filled with unique challenges but also with profound purpose and divine Direction Lord we ask that you guide us as we seek to deepen our relationship with you outside of the expectations of this world and the structures that may no longer serve us we ask for your wisdom and clarity as we navigate this
journey as your word says in James 1:5 if any of you lacks wisdom you should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault and it will be given to you help us to discern your voice amidst the noise to trust in The Whispers of your spirit that lead us toward truth peace and purpose we acknowledge that leaving behind the familiar the routines and the institutions we once knew can feel uncertain but we trust that you are with us every step of the way we thank you for the freedom you have given us to
connect with you in our own personal and intimate way Lord we lift up every chosen one who feels isolated or uncertain in this journey may they know that Solitude is not a sign of Abandonment but a Sacred Space where you dwell with us more intimately as Psalm 46 10 reminds us be still and know that I am God strengthen their hearts Comfort their souls and remind them that they are never alone in those Quiet Moments of prayer reflection and meditation Let Your Presence be felt in powerful ways let us remember that you have not called
