Message to the Movement | Mid-Year 2026 'The Chosen' | Ps Phil Pringle

Hey everyone, what a delight to be speaking to you again.

And I am looking forward to sharing this message I love.

This message is something God laid on my heart earlier this year in conjunction with the overarching theme of the year called Greater Works, which we know Jesus spoke about in John 14, 12, when He said, "'The works I do, you will do them also.'" But greater than these will you do.

And it's hard to imagine that we could ever do greater than raising the dead, healing the sick, and these kinds of things.

But obviously, in greater numbers, these are going to happen.

But also something that could not be done before Jesus died and rose again was to bring people into regeneration so they are born again.

That is possibly the greatest work I would think it is that we can actually accomplish on this earth.

We can get people who are sick healed, and yet if they're not born again, eternal life is not in them to live with God for eternity.

And so our greatest work is to actually come to a place where we are so yielded and surrendered to God that He's able to use us.

So this message comes out of Isaiah 6 verse 1.

But before we go there, I want to take you to Matthew 22, 14, where there's that often misunderstood passage that Jesus said, many are called, but few are chosen.

That word chosen can equally as well be translated choosable.

So many are called, but few are choosable.

Like a farmer or an orchardist walking down past his apple trees, he's not going to pick one that's unripe, that's still green.

He's going to pick the ripe ones.

And the difference between an apple, a peach, an orange, is that they have no choice in the matter.

It is just a natural process by which they become ripe enough to be picked by the farmer.

You and I, however, we do have choices, whether we will cooperate with God, whether we will actually obey Him, surrender to Him, and make ourselves available.

And that's what we want to talk about in this passage of Isaiah 6 verse 1.

I want to bring you seven steps to being one of those who God chooses to use in the earth and make a difference in humanity for eternity.
