Alright guys. It's been far too long since I last posted. I've been writing this post over and over again in my head, but I just couldn't find the time to actually post it. Well, now I've found that time (obviously, or else you wouldn't be reading this).
So, this is my first "Something to Chew On" post. In these posts, I'm going to just give you whatever God puts on my heart to share with you. In this post, we're going to talk about you view of God.
So, what is your view of God? Have you even thought about it before? If not, why not take some time to think about it now?
I'll start out by telling you my view of God. Now, I think God reveals Himself to us in ways that He knows we will respond to, if we let Him. The way I see God is kind of strange. Sometimes I think of Him as a mighty being who has the power to wipe out everything from existence with nothing but a word. When I think of God that way, it makes me feel so empowered. Knowing that you have such power on your side has a tendency to have that effect.
Also, I've been trying to view God as limitless more and more. I think that there's a misconception out there where people think that you can only pray for religious things, and if your baby is crying, or if you have a flat tire or something, you can't pray about it. You have to go about it like everyone else. I don't think that's true. God is limitless. Just as He can perform all sorts of miracles, He can stop the baby from crying, and He could even put air back into your tires, if you really believe that He will do so. I mean why not? He's limitless! He can do anything!
When it comes to God speaking to me, sometimes it's almost like He's a voice in my head. Sometimes He challenges me, or makes me catch myself when I'm about to do the wrong thing. Other times, He may be giving me the answers to questions that I have about Him. And sometimes He just lets me feel His presence. That's really cool.
Now, just to mention an incorrect view of God (and I can say for certain that it's incorrect, because it goes against what God says about Himself in the Bible), let's talk a bit about something I saw on TV recently. Apparently, there are these people who have created the Doctrine of Hate. You're probably starting to see where I'm going with this.
These people go out with posters and signs, yelling to anyone who can hear them "God hates you!" I'm not joking. I wish I was, but I'm not.
I've only got two things to say about that. Number 1: Where in the Bible does it say that God hates people?! God doesn't hate people! He loves them! He's not looking down from some faraway place, glaring down at the miserable human race. He may be looking down sadly at us, because we're still in sin. And God does hate sin. But He doesn't hate people. Number 2: What are they trying to achieve by saying that God hates everyone else? Do they expect people to want to serve God after telling them that God hates them? As humans, we hardly ever serve people we don't like, unless we don't have a choice, and God gives us a choice. So what's the point? As a believer, your goal should be bringing people closer to God, not pushing them away.
Enough on that. Let's talk about why your view of God is important. Well, if you have a view that God is limitless and wants to show Himself to you is you ask Him to, then you may step out in faith more. And you may see more miracles. I think that the church should embrace the idea of a limitless God. If you think about it, it's kind of messed up when we just sit and talk about the problems of the world, when we have such a big and powerful God on our side who can easily fix things, practical as well as spiritual. If your sibling is acting annoying, why not pray about it? In fact, I challenge you (and I'll try to do this too) to pray about every single thing that you feel anxious about for one week. After the week is up, if things improved at all, leave a comment. I think they will, if you expect God to move. Faith is important when asking God for things. I'll save that for the next "Something to Chew On".

WTRD: The Naroq
Hey everyone. Remember back in my first post where I was talking about my book, and I said more on that later? Well this is that later. I will now give you a more in depth explanation of it. That's right. This post is devoted to the World Trilogy.
So, the World Trilogy is just that: a trilogy about the World. Of course, since you probably known nothing about my book, that means nothing to you. Don't worry. I'm not going to leave you hanging like that. The World is also just that: a fictional World, with countries, governments, and all sorts of different creatures. However, all of the creatures in the World are not mentioned in the series, and I'm only going to talk about one race. The Naroq. In fact, that's what the title means: World Trilogy Race Discussion. I bet you were wondering about that.
Now, first let's talk about pronunciation. I'm kind of particular about that. It's pronounced nah-ruk, and you roll the "r" slightly, not so much that it sounds like "Narrrrrrroq". Only slightly.
Anyway, the Naroq are a race of warrior beings in the World. They are about the same height as the average human, though in the World that's pretty short, as the population of the World is dominated by the twelve feet tall Tall Men (more on that later). Anyway, they have pale skin and dark hair (though there are some exceptions to the hair, as demonstrated in one of the characters from the books), as well as pointed ears.
Now, there are several more characteristics about them that distinguish them from humans, but to explain a few of those, I'll have to explain their languages. You see, when it comes to the Naroq, words have power. Big time. Non-Naroq say that when a Naroq speaks, it adds a special spark to the air. The Naroq have three languages, named (and you won't believe this) the First, Second, and Third Languages (told you you wouldn't believe it). Though they can speak any of the languages that non-Naroq speak, only a few other races can speak the Languages without blowing up, and yes, I meant that literally.
So, the First Language is spoken only by good and honest Naroq. This is where their appearance comes in. Speakers of the First Language have light blue eyes, in which there is no pupil or iris, or anything like that. They're just blue, and they glow. They also have glowing blue eyes. However, speakers of the Second Language, who are evil and deceitful, have black eyes, and a black tongue. You can choose whether or not to speak the First or Second Language, and you can even go back and forth (though most Naroq never do. It's almost like you commit yourself to one. Also, it takes physical effort to switch from the Second Language to the First. You have to sit down and think in the First Language until your eyes change from black to blue, and then you can actually talk without feeling any sort of pain). All Naroq curse words are in the Second Language. All Naroq understand both languages, as they're pretty similar (although the Second Language is a bit harsher).
And then there's the Third Language. The thing about the Third Language is that it isn't necessarily used for communication. It's nicknamed Sword Speak, because the speaker can use it to kill people, just by talking. Also, unlike the Second Language, it doesn't take any effort to switch from the Third to the First. The speaker's eyes and tongue are red while they speak the evil sounding Third Language. It's also noted that if a regular speaker were to think words in the Third Language, a pinprick of red would appear in their blue or black eyes. The downside of the Third Language is that it's pure evil, and that only one being managed to speak the Third Language and not die. That is the Great Naroq. I will tell you more about him later, but for now, all you need to know is that he's kind of like the bad guy of the story.
The last special thing about the Naroq is their abilities. All Naroq have them. They are amazingly strong, have quick reflexes, and have telekinesis. Their hearing and eyesight are also better than a normal humans. However, the most important ability is their ability to create and channel Krako energy through their bodies.
Krako energy is almost like electricity hear, in the fact that it's used to power almost everything. It's said that Hotuns (more on them later) learned to harness it, but Naroq mastered it. The Naroq are the only race in the entire world that can generate Krako energy, though some other races can channel it.
Now, the Naroq can generate it in two different ways: as pure Krako energy, or as heat. Because of this, if they concentrate, Naroq can start fires without any matches or sparks. However, the Naroq don't concentrate on this aspect of Krako energy as they do on the other, generating pure Krako energy. There are all sorts of different techniques, because Krako energy can be manipulated to do so many things. The Naroq can create orbs of Krako energy and throw them, or just let it flow out of them an almost solid beam. Orbs of Krako energy are known to ripple like water. Krako energy can be generated in four different colors, clear, yellow, blue, and white. There are also some exceptions to this, and I will tell you about that some other time. Anyway, clear Krako energy is not harmful, and is normally used as an exotic way of lighting up one's surroundings. Yellow Krako energy can cause severe burns, but doesn't tend to do more damage than that, and it is normally used in most lights. Blue Krako energy can be very dangerous, depending on the shade. The lighter the blue, the purer the Krako energy, and the more dangerous it is. Blue Krako energy is most used in combat, and is therefore the most used form, as Krako energy is normally only generated in combat. The last color is white Krako energy, which is Krako energy in its purest form. It is also extremely hard to generate, and only one Naroq ever did it.
The Naroq have many uses for Krako energy. They can generate it with their hands, or they can channel it through Krako staffs, weapons that leave deadly trails of Krako energy in the air. Another weapon that can channel Krako energy is the Great Sword (more on that later), which can actually make it more pure and powerful.
The last notable fact about the Naroq is that they were God's chosen people. Unfortunately, they were deceived into turning away from God. Because of this, a lot of things happen, and ultimately, a war for the entire World is started. I may explain that later, or, when this book gets published (for I am intending to get it published), you cane read it for yourself.
So, why am I putting this on a blog about God getting the glory through me? Well, most fourteen year old kids don't publish books, so I will let God get the praise through that. Also, the name of this blog comes from the First Language. It was the Naroq's normal farewell before they turned away from God. I've decided to sign of my blog with the same farewell.
And one last thing. When my book gets published, my identity won't be such a secret anymore. Oh well. All of you curious people who are desperately wondering who I am can jump up and down now.

Introduction
Alright, so obviously my real name isn't His Chosen. I'm pretty sure that none of you were like "Whoa! I didn't know that!" when you read that last sentence.
So then, why did I choose it? No, it's not just because I don't like to put up my personal info on a website where anyone can see it. So why? If you want, now is the time to say "Dude, just get to the point."
First let's talk about who He is. Take a wild guess. If you said God, you're correct! If you don't know me, then the first thing you should know is that I'm a believer in Christ. That's right! And am I afraid to show it? Absolutely not!
So why am I chosen by God? I have news for you. You are too! Who says that only one person can do big and amazing things for God? Perhaps you don't know Him yet. That doesn't mean He doesn't have a plan for you. Now, that plan may never be carried out, because you never chose to go down the path that God placed before you, but it is there.
So, in a way, we're all the Lord's Chosen. You, me, and anybody else you could point out right now. The problem is, some people refuse to do what the Lord has chosen them to do. And I'm not just talking about sinners. There are plenty of Christians who won't follow the Lord's calling.
So, instead of just trying to get on with life, I want to do big and amazing things for God. And here's another news flash. I'm not yet legally an adult. I'm even younger than sixteen. But I have no intentions of waiting until I'm fully grown to begin doing what God wants me to do. I want to start right now.
Let's take a little break from talking about being chosen by God. Let's talk about this blog's name. It's kentonoq dah. That's pronounced kin-tu-nok dah, just in case you're wondering. As soon as you opened this blog up, you were probably wondering "What in the world does that mean?" Lucky for you, I'll tell you. It's a phrase from a made up language in one of my books (more on that later) that means "Let the Lord be praised." What is the significance of that?
Let's take a closer look at the words in the phrase. It's not "may the Lord be praised". It's "let the Lord be praised". You're probably thinking "Yeah... okay... so what?!" You see, if God does the things in my life that I'm hoping He'll do, the purpose of this blog is not to brag, or become famous, or anything like that. I want to let the Lord be praised through this blog, and through my life. And hopefully, you want the same thing.
So then, get ready all of you chosen ones. God loves you, and whatever plans you've had for your life, God's plans are probably ten times bigger. We just have to allow Him to work in us. That's what I'm planning on doing. And when (not if but when) big things happen, I will tell you about them on here, and the Lord will be praised.
Enjoy.
