1 Peter 2:9 KJV 1900
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

9 But ye are ca CHOSEN generation, da royal priesthood, ean holy nation, ||fa peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the ||gpraises of hhim who hath called you iout of darkness into his marvellous light:

SEPT 2011 In The Midst Of My Mother’s body breaking down, preparing to be with the King I was given something that changed the way I see myself, My Ministry & the Kingdom…
But first let me say this
Last Month Roberta Hoskie preached at New Beginnings on Women’s day and her message was concerning wealth. She asked this question, How many of you Know your great grand fathers name.. Only a few of us raised our hands.. Then she said if he had left an inheritance you would have remembered his name..
Thats when it came back to me, what was revealed to me in 2011… My Spiritual Inheritance…
See my Pastor ( Bishop A D Pullen) shared with me our Pentecostal Pedigree.
My great grandmother Roberta Turner had two children, Agustus jr. & My grand Father Clint. She had taken Ill and the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong. So they placed her out in the hospital hallway to die, And two young white missionary sisters who happen to have a hospital ministry walk up to my great grand mother and offered Jesus Christ. She gladly excepted AND WAS HEALED!!
Grand MA Roberta had a sister name Lucy farrow, and both these women went for white women, that’s probably why those sisters approached my Great grand mother in the hospital..
Anyway aunt Lucy worked for a preacher taking care of the children & home type job. His name was Charles Parham.. Parham was preaching about holiness and sanctification and being filled with the holy spirit. (Back then this was a new doctrine to the US ) 1900’s
Aunt Lucy who was also called to be a preacher and had a ministry invited a half blind black preacher by the name of WJ Seymour to sit in the hallway and listen to Parham preach about the baptism of the holy spirt.
As time went On Lucy had taken a trip to Califorinia, and ran across some folks that she began to minister to, She then summoned the help Of WJ Seymour who had gotten very good at preaching this new doctrine but had not yet been baptised in the holy spirit. The rest is is history. AZUZA street was the place they moved to, and during this time when Lucy returned to Cali she laid hands on Seymour and he received the holy spirit..
So Lucy and Roberta (sisters) are talking about this new doctrine from God and while she is visiting Roberta in Virginia a visiting preaching from Tenn is there, his name is C H Mason, She sugguest he goes to Azuza, and the rest is history..
Well CH Mason goes back to Tenn shares this new Doctrine, some agreed others didn’t. But all i know is when he would visit Virginia he would stay at my Great grand mothers house and sleep in my grandfathers room.
And my great grand mother went on to have a total of 12 children, from those 12 came another generation (my mothers gen) and then another Gen ( me). And all the men of the first and many in second gen failed to take the royal role as priest for there family, and many died from Cancer & alcoholism. But God had raised many women of God and we currently have 3 Living Bishops in our Blood line.. But had my grand mother died in that hospital two of those Bishop and none of those evangelist would have been born, Just me and my wife & one of my sisters.. But wait... One of those bishops is my pastor & mentor and father so if he was never born and became a man of God neither would I. Because he my mother was one of his disciples a well.
Now Paul could trace his Jewish Roots, but considered it nothing without God as his Lord & Savior, and so Do I, but speaking as an African American who only has these Apostolic Roots to trace. It’s given me purpose and clarity to why the devil has tried to curse me with the same issues my daddy & grand-daddy had. And Why God would choose a no good down right dirty dog like me to preach the Gospel.
But see i know Im Royal so its too late for the devil.. I know who I am… ( i dare you to say it)
Apostle Peter declares you are a Chosen Generation
Chosen Generation
Whatever joy is derived in discovering our individual identity we should have even greater joy when we realize that we, as individuals, are parts of a glorious whole. In this case it is a “race,” a “generation” of people drawn together by one compelling word—chosen. This means we were chosen as individuals to be parts of a race of people for eternal fellowship with God and one another.
(). “You didn’t choose me, remember; I chose you, and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won’t spoil. As fruit bearers, whatever you ask the Father in relation to me, he gives you. 17  “But remember the root command: Love one another.

Chosen Generation

Whatever joy is derived in discovering our individual identity merges into an infinitely greater joy when we realize that we, as individuals, are parts of a glorious whole. In this case it is a “race,” a “generation” of people drawn together by one compelling word—chosen. This means we were chosen as individuals to be parts of a race of people for eternal fellowship with God and one another.

its Not a Black or White or brown thing.. Its A G thang (baby) in my Topac voice
See What We tend to forget is that God’s plan was always bless us generationally..
Genesis 12:1–3 NLT
The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”
Genesis 15:4–6 NLT
Then the Lord said to him, “No, your servant will not be your heir, for you will have a son of your own who will be your heir.” Then the Lord took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have!” And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.
Gen 15.4
Genesis 17:7–8 NLT
“I will confirm my covenant with you and your descendants after you, from generation to generation. This is the everlasting covenant: I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you. And I will give the entire land of Canaan, where you now live as a foreigner, to you and your descendants. It will be their possession forever, and I will be their God.”
2. A Royal Priesthood
A Royal Priesthood
2. A Royal Priesthood
This is a double designation which enhances our sense of identity. We are “kingly priests” and “priestly kings.” Kings, by right of their essential identity, rule as a matter of living. Priests, by right of their essential identity, worship as a matter of living. What does this imply of us who are a royal priesthood? Simply that, by right of our essential identity, we rule and worship as a matter of living.

Exodus 19:6 NLT
And you will be my kingdom of priests, my holy nation.’ This is the message you must give to the people of Israel.”
Exodus 23:22 NLT
But if you are careful to obey him, following all my instructions, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will oppose those who oppose you.
What Does Royalty Require Of YOU
3. A Holy Nation
How do you carry yourself public & Privet
How do you respond to critics and celebrators
Who are you intimate with aka sharing your personal space
3. A Holy Nation
A Holy Nation
3. A Holy Nation
We are identified as a “holy ethnic group,ethnos hagion. We are a nation separated by God and set apart for special purposes. When someone asks you, “Are you holy?” you ought to consult what God has said before you give an opinion. He not only declares that you are holy but adds that you are a part of a massive spiritual nationality that is holy.
4. A Peculiar People
We need to look a little deeper into this one. The word “peculiar” in today’s vernacular is suggestive of “weird” or “strange.” This is hardly the connotation here. The word in the Greek is peripoiesis per-ee-poy´-ay-sis which means an obtaining” or “an acquisition.” Here it is to be taken as “God’s purchased possession.” We do not belong to ourselves, but to Him, who has acquired us for His own special purposes.

1 Corinthians 6:19–20 The Message
Or didn’t you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.
Because we are peculiar we don’t have a right of an opinion, What ever the king says is what we believe, we say and live...
1 Corinthians 6:20 NLT
for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

19 What? know ye not that nyour body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and boye are not your own? 20 For pye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, bwhich are God’s.

We should not leave without allowing the purpose for which we exist to be noted: “That we should show forth the praises of him who has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light”
Do you remember the scene from Coming To America!
We should not leave without allowing the purpose for which we exist to be noted: “That we should show forth the praises of him who has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light”
We should not leave without allowing the purpose for which we exist to be noted: “That we should show forth the praises of him who has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light”
We should not leave without allowing the purpose for which we exist to be noted: That we should show forth the praises of him who has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light”
The Best example of this is Lazarus, I always wondered why he didn’t have a book in the bible. show forth the praises of him who has called us out of darkness.
Can i get somebody that remembers how dark it really was.. And praise him for the light..
Can i get somebody that remembers how dark it really was.. And praise him for the light..
