My Paternal Grandfather, whose name was John, was a Barber in Akron, Colorado in the early 1900's. Akron was a small town and most of the men were farmers. I was told that in between customers, my Grandfather, would study "The Bible" for hours at a time.
My Grandfather was "Called Home To Be With The Lord" when I was about 6 years old, so I was not able to find out from him the wisdom he received from "The Bible".
As I began to study "The Living Word", I often wondered what was revealed to my Grandfather while sitting at The Feet of our Master Teacher, our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ.
One day while studying "The Bible", I found "The Second Epistle of John". As I studied It,it was as though my Grandfather was speaking to me from Heaven. Also The Apostle John referred to as "The Disciple whom Jesus loved."
Though I have no living children, as I continued to study "The Living Word" and have for years been an intercessor, it was revealed to me that my "children" are ALL of us in The Beloved Holy Body of Christ. For we are ALL children of The Most High God through our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ.
As I researched who "The elect (chosen) Lady" was, I found the following from "The Spirit Filled Life Bible" - Thomas Nelson Publishers:
"Author and Recipients"
"...John addresses this second epistle to 'the elect lady and her children.' Indicating that the recipient was a hospitable Christian mother whose children persevere in the faith (v.4). John even includes greetings from her nieces and nephews (v.13). From the designation John gives her in verse 1 (Greek eklekte kyria), many commentators have speculated concerning her personal name, suggesting titles such as 'the elect Kyria,' 'the lady Electa' and 'Electa Kyria.' Others suggest that the designation does not denote an individual at all, but is the personification of a local church. 'Her children' are the members of that church, and 'the children' of her 'elect sister' are the members of the local church in the place from which John is writing. A definite conclusion seems unattainable,and the question remains open."
So as you can see "the elect(chosen)lady" is not known. Therefore being comfortable with both explanations, I humbly receive It as a message to me from Heaven. Thus the change in the name of my Blog.
If you have not done so recently, please study the very important message in 2nd John.
