Acts 13:48
King James Version
48 And when the Gentiles heard this,
they were glad,
and glorified the word of the Lord:
and as many as were ordained to eternal life
believed.
Why am I not interested in man's elections?
Shall we vote more of the corrupt?
Shall we hear more lies?
Shall we be manipulated even more?
Shall Satan continue to lord it over us?
Shall we have the same kind of society?
Even as different wolves wear sheep's clothing?
Why am I not into elections at all?
I've learned of a DIFFERENT kind of election.
A magnificent one.
Something the world needs right now.
A different sort, that matters most.
SPIRIT and Scripture told me of that "election".
GOD's election.
His elect.
Know of that "election".
As only a born again would know.
Will you be part of that "election"?
Will you be "elected"?
What kind of "office" are you running for?
What kind does the LORD want you to run for?
Call it "doctrine of election", if you will.
For all those faithful to GOD.
For all those born again.
Look what JESUS says:
Matthew 22:14
King James Version
14 For many are called,
but few are chosen.
Mark 13:20
King James Version
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days,
no flesh should be saved:
but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen,
he hath shortened the days.
Mark 13:24-27
King James Version
24 But in those days,
after that tribulation,
the sun shall be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall,
and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man
coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then shall he send his angels,
and shall gather together his elect
from the four winds,
from the uttermost part of the earth
to the uttermost part of heaven.
Luke 10:20
King James Version
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not,
that the spirits are subject unto you;
but rather rejoice,
because your names are written
in heaven.
Luke 10:21
King James Version
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit,
and said,
I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth,
that thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes:
even so, Father;
for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Luke 10:22
King James Version
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father:
and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father;
and who the Father is, but the Son,
and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

King James Version
44 No man can come to me,
except the Father which hath sent me draw him:
and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets,
And they shall be all taught of God.
Every man therefore that hath heard,
and hath learned of the Father,
cometh unto me.
John 10:27-28
King James Version
27 My sheep hear my voice,
and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them
out of my hand.
John 15:16
King James Version
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 17:9-10
King James Version
9 I pray for them:
I pray not for the world,
but for them which thou hast given me;
for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine,
and thine are mine;
and I am glorified in them.
The rest of Scripture says more about this kind of "election":
Romans 8:28
King James Version
28 And we know that all things
work together for good
to them who are the called
according to his purpose.
Romans 8:29
King James Version
29 For whom he did foreknow,
he also did predestinate
to be conformed to the image of his Son,
that he might be the firstborn
among many brethren.
Romans 8:30
King James Version
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate,
them he also called:
and whom he called, them he also justified:
and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Ephesians 1:4-6
King James Version
4 According as he hath chosen us in him
before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and without blame
before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us
unto the adoption of children
by Jesus Christ to himself,
according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace,
wherein he hath made us accepted
in the beloved.
Ephesians 2:8-9
King James Version
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2 Thessalonians 2:13-14
King James Version
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway
to God for you,
brethren beloved of the Lord,
because God hath from the beginning
chosen you to salvation
through sanctification of the Spirit
and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel,
to the obtaining of the glory
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 1:8-9
King James Version
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed
of the testimony of our Lord,
nor of me his prisoner:
but be thou partaker
of the afflictions of the gospel
according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us,
and called us with an holy calling,
not according to our works,
but according to his own purpose and grace,
which was given us in Christ Jesus
before the world began,
Revelation 21:27
King James Version
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it
any thing that defileth,
neither whatsoever worketh abomination,
or maketh a lie:
but they which are written
in the Lamb's book of life.
This one on GOD's beloved Israel:
Romans 11:28
King James Version
28 As concerning the gospel,
they are enemies for your sakes:
but as touching the election,
they are beloved for the father's sakes.
The SUCCESS of any elected leader relies on the following:
If they have a love for GOD, or not.
If they believe in JESUS, or not.
If they are guided by SPIRIT, or not.
If they have a love for Israel, or not.
If they are born again, or not.
That's the election we speak of.
The only election we care about.
The only election that pleases GOD.
