Chosen, Listen, Respond

By Sylvia Gross

Considering a submission to the guided directions of God, here stands His affirmation that is transmitted on behalf of the Holy Spirit. Remain vigilant in belief, faith, and being obedient to listening and hearing the voice of God as a chosen vessel.

God describes His architectural structure as one willing to listen while being thoroughly engaged with the spiritual ups and downs in the process without deflecting. He oversees the love, endurance, integrity, and leadership fulfilled within the designation enlighten with free will. God brings comparison of the structure leading in the evangelical apostleship by the natural free will self-controlled and to the spiritual free will responding to the Holy Spirit. It is through submitting obedience to God's visionary revelation expressing, "Don't lose your structure" from titling of Chosen, Listen, Respond.

The book denotes without any hesitation to seek God first from an empty vessel which is prepared and ready to fulfill service. The book is also a mentoring solution to surfacing issues and problems such as the following:

When surrounded by great diversity entangling bad and good collaboration, look for the more effective righteous collaboration directed by God while in pray.

Though awkward situations may arise leading to degrade and destroy the structure, continue to look toward the righteous narrow pathway while fasting, reading, and meditating in pray for healing.

Often, issues linger within a vessel tired of the old manipulated ways, forgetting and looking back, reminiscing and struggling to define the new chapter. The vessel must generate desperation for something better through a committed and intimate godly relationship focusing with a spiritual mentality and less natural in the pursuit of critical and logical changes.

To readers of Chosen, Listen, Respond, a process of change begins from the heart which first hears and acts upon the Word of God. These elements such as character, comprehension, conscience, godly power, knowledge, patient ability, and self-control when faithfully maintained will highlight a progressive change occurrence. Thus, believers honestly submitting to the Word of God and the Holy Spirit in love, endurance, integrity, and leadership solidify their change in the spiritual structure.

My revelation from God: Don't lose your structure—a stimulating message from God provided to refresh minds, promote attention, and encourage listening to His voice before the pursuit of opportunities. It also leads toward submitting heartfelt aspirations with the delight of applying oneself as a respondent to God's will and good purposes.

I will first minister to myself after knowing God has called and chosen me for His good purposes.

—Sylvia T. Gross

Preface

The revelation God delivered began while daily reading, meditating, and praying in the Spirit in 2017 and finalizing biblical studies for an associate degree. The actual work on the manuscript began after a Sunday morning service's brief discussion with the pastor of Worship Christian Center in Camden, Delaware. And he stated, That sounds like the beginning of a book. The completed written manuscript occurred in 2018 in the basement, devoting commitment early mornings and late nights to the obedience of hearing God's voice each time He spoke and being full-time employed. The natural decision to publish began in 2019, but the spiritual decision began in 2020 after a committed relationship with God was developed and brought direction while being in prayer.

Introduction

The beginning insight from this book reveals how free will in the Bible was incorporated during the earth's creation by God and God allowed free will for making vital and independent decisions. The book also teaches on God's design including all the human elements needed to move forward such as wisdom, knowledge, comprehension, character, godly power, self-control, patient ability, conscience, and more. Whenever these elements are used within full capacity, there are learned lessons involved and much replicate gratification. The book refers to show the structure developed when these elements are used either recklessly or asked first heartily and in sincerity from God. The topic is given in a two-chapter revelation from God on Don't Lose Your Structure part and is strongly expressed by providing three relevant emphases. The next part relates to the final examination of a heart's acceptance among these various structures.

The exemplifications applied within the subtopics ministering the book deliberate on using free choice to positively respond or just be quiet, neutral, settled until lost and disappointed. The different scenarios bring focus to one's vigilant responsibility of self-involvement while using structure in one's life or even several elements motivating structure of which God freely designed. The reflective reasoning used is that God chose out of love to make all these elements available for one's structure, and they were designed for God's good and perfect use. Also, every ending segment closes with a prayer offered for encouragement.

Despaired but Opportunities Surfaced

There are times in life when everything seems to be on a downhill road, the pathway is curvy, and your eyesight and intellectual views are dim. There are times when questions are asked such as What is wrong with me? or Why so difficult? or Why things always go wrong? The despair continues to grow alone with each departing love one and even seems worse year after year as they disappear from your life. The tears which roll down take away the gleam while bringing more despair to a broken heart and only add extra pain.

Though there is joy received and in knowing that in time, a release of comfort will come. The comfort comes just at the point of emptiness and when communication solely develops with God.

The key solution in developing this communication is through fasting, heartfelt meditation, and prayer. The released comfort arrives as faith builds while believing and in truly knowing God. It is the moment where all tears, despair, and the broken heart must be released. It is the time of pondering on all heard, all read, and all known of the Almighty, the Prince of Peace, and Creator. He already knows, and only He alone will answer all things through His grace of love which reaches far within a wounded and broken heart.

The believer's refuge comes from God adding a new outlook and brings forth successful opportunities that are designed for His spiritual structure. The Almighty Creator, a true loving Father, sends out nothing but peace, joy, and happiness, and only He lightens that place which occupied unbelievable life's storms.

Blessed is the person who calls upon the Lord and devotes his wholehearted time intimately with the Lord seeking guidance from Him all during the day and throughout the night. This person's heart will be delivered and will find all he is looking for to be refined and restored. He will feel as though he has mounted on the wings of an eagle and has been filled with strength that can move mountains. He will know his structure is God's gift designed, favored, and set with endurance that can move forward without doubt.

Father in heaven, control the writing of this book which is articulated with your words and guide the direction of its flow to reach many for your good and perfect service.

My Revelation from God: Don't Lose Your Structure

Chapter 1

The Message Focus

The use of this word structure throughout will be used as a noun and as well as the meaning in its usable term can be broad. Thus, in this message given by God, the focus is used on his free will-designed structure. The free will is a gift first given to mankind. The designed structure of God is an apparent eye-opener to all of His goodness and greatness of which was incorporated into the intellectual property and then engaged into mankind's intellectualism. The focus adds to the importance of man having free will with so great responsibilities and was given the inclination of being self-involved with idealism.

God's creation of mankind was designed to include elements that would build a strong and solid structure to the human's life. Fully aware of no one being more perfect than God, this was a design within an individual's structure leading toward the direction of perfection.

This revelation is clearly to be used in its given term for this generation's world's mankind, and in doing so, it will help incorporate a visualization stir operatively for God's designed good purposes. It's a structure that God has initiated, and it will wake up the heart and mind to eagerly grasp, desire, and gain.

This message offers various learnings to help recondition and refine man's structure before making disciplinary decisions upon opportunities which surfaced. These decisions whether right or wrong resonates affects for a lifetime. How difficult is it to verbally accept a spiritual gift given so freely and physically chooses not to receive? What mistakes have been made which have been regretted and so deceivingly bad?

God is saying to the heart which seeks the Heavenly Father, "You will arise within this mind from the natural sense and grow into the spiritual good framework that specifies designed."

The Message Clarity

The divine purposes merging within the message are solely to reach avenues within the heart for healing, mending, and restoring from one's own corruptibly and judgmental enactments. God is revealing a full coverage while enlightening to lead toward rich fulfillments within distinct growth opportunities. God has said to be clear in words revealing forth His established plan within His revelation. Thus, next involved will be succinctly differentiation in reasons between freely using the natural sense and using the spiritual sense.

In the natural sense, it examines briefly and
