BRIDE, Oh Bride, Come!   

My beloved spoke, and said to me: “Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away. (Songs of Sol 2:10)

Hey, Bride of the LORD, its TIME your GROOM to come . He is at the Door! Your ears hear HIS wonderful voice, speaking to your ears, My Bride, My Love, let ME see your face, hear your voice, for your face is lovely and your voice is sweet. Its the time for the reunion. 

“O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,

In the secret places of the cliff,

Let me see your face,

Let me hear your voice;

For your voice is sweet,

And your face is lovely.”  

(Songs of sol. 2:14)

You have been betrothed by Himself washing you with waters and changed your heart and poured out His Spirit into you marking you for a marriage with Him. He changed your heart to HIM, and filled it with His Spirit, making you HIS BRIDE, by making His room, your heart. You have been so long waiting for HIM . Now it is the time of His coming.. He is at the door.   

He is faithful, He will perform it!  

Yes, HE DIED FOR ALL OF US, to make us completely cleansed and make us to be HOLY by HIS SIDE, with Him always. He gave us a washing of waters by the WORD and filled us with HIS SPIRIT to have  cleansing in the inside so that we will be perfect for Him for a reunion with HIM eternally as HIS Bride. 

Bride, Are you one in His Spirit and being in a  perfect sanctification for Him eternally? Have you given your heart completely focusing Him? Are your hope and desire in Him alone?  He that called you is faithful, He will perform it. He who began the good work in you will also finish it!

THE EARLY CHURCH was a Rapture Expecting Church!

They greeted each other saying, " Maranatha' , Our LORD is Coming! They exhorted each other with the words of His soon coming. They consoled each other that they will be with Him always soon. They were secret groups here and there going through severe persecutions. Many among them were martyred for the Lord. They have the tears in their eyes, yet they rejoice, because those who die in Christ will soon become alive and taken up to join the Lord in His coming with them.

 They were simply a group faithfully awaiting His coming! They had nothing to rejoice on earth. They gave every property of them for His Church, for the thriving of the scattered believers. They know their citizenship is in Heaven, so they were depositing everything in their heavenly treasures. They surrendered what they had for the kingdom of God, so that they all will be an eternal treasure for them in all eternity. They were transferring their earthly treasures into heavenly treasures, because they know its time to leave. So why discarding what they have here?  So they transferred them into their heavenly eternal accounts. 

WHAT A HOPE OF THEIR IMMINENT FUTURE!

They always expected their BRIDEGROOM'S APPEARANCE. So their face always brightened with a radiant joy. Because soon they will see the face of their Beloved, betrothed Lamb of GOD. And they will be all the more glorious then. Their mourning will turn into laughing and shouts of joy. They will be with their Bridegroom, the Lamb of GOD everlastingly!

BRIDE, FILL YOUR VESSEL WITH YOUR LOVE FOR HIM!

BRIDE, FILL YOUR VESSEL WITH YOUR LOVE FOR HIM!

It's the time of our Lord's coming.
 And we are going to meet Him.
 Are we prepared for that?

Let us serve the Lord with passion. Let us love the Lord and serve Him with a true heart full of love and passion towards Him. Think of Mary's Heart as she poured out that fragrant oil on the head of Jesus. How overwhelming her heart was at that time. This was something she cherished after her close communion with the Lord.

When her lover and all Her love has become Lord Jesus, all her life's valuables she poured out to His footstool, and she finds her good times staying there. She finds great rest, comfort, and compassion from the Heart of the Lord JESUS there. When we truly found our Lord as the desire of our hearts, we could do the will of GOD WHOLEHEARTEDLY, earn for Him, make disciples for Him, gain souls for Him, and as she sold out all that she could to gain Christ, we could sell out all that we have to Gain CHRIST and save souls for Him. We could see there, Her love being poured out. It was a good deed before all, the whole world, though many around her haven't realized the true worth of it.
                                                                   

Love from her heart poured out through the deed she did, a manifestation of her love towards the Lord. The manifestation of her love for HER BELOVED! JESUS ONLY KNEW THE TRUE WORTH OF IT AND PRAISED HER FOR WHAT SHE DID. HE SAYS, THIS WILL BE SOMETHING PROCLAIMED AROUND THE WORLD AS A GOOD DEED, WHEREVER THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED.

DEAR Brothers and sisters,

Are we serving the Lord with a true heart full of love towards Him? If we are serving Him likewise, though none recognize its worth today, one day is waiting for us to be with our Beloved, when all these works for our Lord will be proclaimed before the Father and all the Holy Heavenly angels, then the true worth and value of our deeds of Love will have a glorious reward. So, dear ones, let us think and realize all our works are for Heaven, to be appraised before the Father and the Holy angels.

So let us do them with a true Love, Passion, and care. We are not doing it for any man, that we may be praised here, we are doing it for our Lord. If we are not being recognized here, don't feel broken, (those are not to be for men). YOU ARE FOR THE OTHERWORLD, A WORLD OF HAPPINESS, LOVE, AND JOY, PREPARED BY YOUR FATHER FOR YOU.

You are aliens here, the people of this world will not recognize the worth of our lives. The knowledge of this world has always been against the wisdom of Heaven. We may be mocked, criticized, even by those surrounding us, maybe even the disciples, as what's done to Mary, worry not; LORD HAS SEEN YOUR LOVE. HE HAS RECORDED IT, TO BE PROCLAIMED ON THAT DAY WHEN YOU ARE ARRAYED AS HIS BRIDE ON HIS RIGHT SIDE.

GOD'S TRUMPET GATHERS THOSE WHO ARE HIS OWN.

Are THESE BIRTHPANGS A MIDNIGHT CRY?

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
We are in a time to be more closer to our Lord. The whole world is in birthpangs.
Is this the time of midnight cry, when the churches around the world are in a slumber? The trumpet sound will soon be heard.

People of God,

who have their lamps

in their hands

Let us  awaken ourselves

and lit it, let each one of us lit our light, 

light up the grace that is given to us.

 Stand up on the grace given to you and 

shine as lights as possible for His Kingdom.

 

If Mary can anoint JESUS' body with the perfume she earned with her money, which was a deed in advance to the burial of THE BODY Of JESUS, what are you going to do to the Body of Christ,  the Church, before it's taking up in the rapture? Are you not to do what you can as Mary did for Him?

What did Mary Magdalene do?
 In that midnight, she prepared herself with all the anointing oil and perfumes and went earlier, before the day break to the tomb, where JESUS' body was laid. She COULD SEE A RESURRECTED JESUS THERE!!!

ARE WE NOT SIMILAR TO HER IN A TIME GOING TO SEE OUR COMING BRIDEGROOM?  Only MARY who went to that tomb, Mary who had a real desire for Him in that midnight could only see Him in the daybreak.

JESUS CHRIST, OUR LORD, THE BRIGHT, MORNING STAR IS ABOUT TO SHINE IN THE MID AIR , COMING IN THE CLOUDS.
HAVE WE PREPARED OURSELVES TO MEET HIM?

WE HAVE NONE TO LOOK AT NOW, NO CHURCH, NO DISCIPLES, EVERYONE IS IN LOCK DOWN,  LOCKED WITHIN THE DOOR, MAY IT BE IN FEAR OF JEWS, OR OF A DEADLY DISEASE, LET US GO FORWARD WITH OUR LAMPS BURNING, AND OUR HEARTS CRYING FOR THE LORD.

Let this time remind ourselves that we are to meet the Lord personally. How far have we reached to our Lord in our spiritual career, in our spiritual lives?
Do we have the real burning within us to burn our lives as lamps for the Lord accessing enough oil from the Holyspirit ?
Have we given our lives as His own so that He carry it out for His glory?
 Do we have truly anything to present before the Lord when He comes?
He called us with an awesome calling, to have His life within us so that we resemble Him in all our words and deeds.
  Let us focus our lives more to Him and His coming, so that we will be found worthy to stand before Him when He comes.

The Importance of Watching!

Luke 21:34-36
 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with [a]carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day COME ON YOU UNEXPECTEDLY.  For it will COME AS A SNARE ON ALL those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and PRAY AWAYS that you may [b]be counted WORTHY TO ESCAPE all these things that will come to pass, and to STAND BEFORE the SON of Man.”

CHRIST PREPARES US FOR HIS GLORIOUS RETURN!

CHRIST PREPARES US FOR HIS GLORIOUS RETURN!

Holy Spirit willingly desires to cleanse and prepare the chosen and holy for His glorious return.
ARE WE WALKING IN HIS TRUTH?

DO WE REALLY NEED TO BE WITH HIM ETERNALLY?
IS YOUR HEART'S SOLE DESIRE IS TO SEEK HIS WILL AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TO BE PRESENTED TO HIM HOLY AND WITHOUT BLEMISH, AT HIS COMING?

WHAT ARE YOU SEEKING MOSTLY IN YOUR LIFE?
IS IT HIS KINGDOM AND RIGHTEOUSNESS?
IS IT AS PER THE WILL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?
IS HOLY SPIRIT THE CHIEF CONTROLLER OF YOUR LIFE?
IS CHRIST LIVING HIS LIFE IN YOU.

YOU ARE ATONED TO HIM BY A HOLY COVENANT AND NOW YOU ARE NO MORE LIVING, But CHRIST IS LIVING IN YOU. That is the cost of HIS ATONEMENT. HE BOUGHT YOU WITH A GREATER PRICE, SO THAT NOW NO MORE YOU LIVE, BUT HE LIVES.. THAT IS HIS NEW COVENANT WITH YOU.

You need not worry about obeying His commandments and doing His will. JUST GIVE YOUR COMPLETE SELF TO HIM.SO HE WILL REPLACE IT WITH HIMSELF AS PER HIS COVENANT AND HIS ATONEMENT OF GREATER PRICE.

YOU HAVE BECOME HIS PURCHASED POSSESSION; A PARTAKER OF HIMSELF IN EVERYTHING, IN EVERY POINT OF HIS LIFE. HE WAS A TRUE PROPHET MIGHTY IN WORDS AND DEEDS; YET HAVE BEEN A SHEEP FOR SLAUGHTER IN HIS LIFE. YOU HAVE GIVEN YOURSELVES for HIM TO DWELL AND RULE, BECAUSE HE BOUGHT YOU BY HIS ATONEMENT, AND MADE YOU SOLELY HIS, BY HIS NEW COVENANT.


PARTAKERS OF BOTH HIS SUFFERINGS AND HIS GLORY!

SO YOU HAVE NOW BECOME A SHEEP FOR SLAUGHTER BECAUSE OF HIM, A SERVANT OF ALL FOR HIS NAME SAKE. BECAUSE HE TOOK THE FORM OF A SERVANT AND HAD BEEN OBEDIENT TO GOD, EVEN UNTO DEATH, GIVING HIMSELF AS A SHEEP FOR SLAUGHTER.

PAUL SAYS, Now no more I live, but CHRIST LIVES IN ME! I CANNOT GLORY IN MYSELF ANYMORE. BUT I REJOICE, WHEN I AM PERSECUTED AND FORSAKEN, THAT I BECAME A PARTTAKER OF CHRIST. I SUFFER AND REJOICE IN IT, BECAUSE CHRIST IS GLORIFIED THROUGH THEM. HOLYSPIRIT WORKS THROUGH ME, THAT TOO FOR THE GLORY OF CHRIST.





MAY HIM BE GLORIFIED IN PERSECUTIONS AND IN SUFFERINGS AND THROUGH ALL THE DEEDS OF HIS MINISTRY WHICH HE DOES THROUGH ME.

WHEN WE TRULY SUBMIT TO CHRIST, HE DWELL IN US AND RULE IN US, AND LIVE IN US TO GLORIFY HIS NAME.
IT IS IN THIS WAY CHRIST PREPARES US FOR HIMSELF AND FOR HIS RETURN.
BY HE HIMSELF DWELLING IN US, AND LIVING HIS LIFE GLORIFYING THE FATHER.

WE BEING DIED OURSELVES daily, as per the work and will of God, AS SHEEPS FOR SLAUGHTER, and being servants of all, so that we can win more.

CHRIST JESUS weds THE CHASTE VIRGIN.

LAMB'S WIFE, THE CHASTE VIRGIN 

       Lamb's wife is a chaste virgin whose heart and mind is in devotion to the simplicity and Love that is in Christ. She adorns herself with good works which are very suitable for saints. She covers herself with God's glory by being in union with Him (Christ Jesus, her Bridegroom) with her whole spirit, soul and body. She regained that which was lost through Eve, by her submission and obedience to Christ and His Spirit throughout her life.

She gives heed only to the voice of the Spirit who talks to her and who guides her in all her footsteps in her path of pilgrimage. Thus her resemblance to Her Saviour and Groom increase in her day by day. When she finishes her journey she looks as radiant as Christ and in all her looks we can perceive Christ's likeness. Then, we can say, 'Yes truly she is the Lamb's virgin wife'.

Her divine virgin life starts with her Baptism in Spirit and water after hearing the Word of her Beloved. Her true submission and devotion to Him marks the beginning of her Betrothal journey. SHE IS IN HER PATH TO MEET THE BRIDEGROOM, with great care, enthusiasm, thinking of things above, and moulding herself by the word for being a part of that eternal congregation day by day; more than that being the Lamb's wife the whole eternity.

 BRIDE OF THE LAMB

She is going to be spectacular that day,

The whole Heaven looks at Her,

When she is as radiant as Her Groom.

That brilliant day when she is gifted

With Her Groom as her eternal Partner,

She being clothed with the Bridal Gown

Of her righteous works

Which add to her glory that day.

The HEAVENLY CHOIR SING, "HALLELUYAH",

As the roar of rushing waters,

And like loud peals of thunder,

With a loud noise shouting,

“Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.  Let us rejoice and be glad And give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, And His bride has made herself ready.  Fine linen, bright and clean, Was given her to wear.”

THE BRIDEGROOM, LAMB OF GOD

She has on Her side the LAMB who is worthy,

He is Faithful and true,

And His name is the WORD OF GOD;

It was He who came in flesh to be a ransom for Her,

He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood,

On his robe and on his thigh,

He has this name written:

King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Oh, Worthy is He, the Lamb of God,

The Bridegroom of the Chaste Virgin,

Who bought her from the nations unworthy,

Made her worthy forever,

By His Blood, Spirit and Living Word,

Blessed be His name forever and ever.

BRIDE, May your walk be after your GROOM's Desire!

                                                       

                                                      
   We are at the verge of being taken away by the Bridegroom, the Lamb of God!
Are we living a life worthy for Him, so that He may call us, " My Bride, My beloved, How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!"

Will He find us Blameless and without spots on the day of His coming? Do we have a heart full of Love for Him?

 Bride's devotion to HER BETHROTHED!

Every Bride or Groom have lot of expectations of their marriage and married life. We are also on the verge of such a Great EVENT HELD BY THE ALMIGHTY GOD. The MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB OF GOD! And the BRIDE IS WE OURSELVES, the redeemed, called and chosen in Christ!
 
Are we living our life in such great Expectations?
Are we preparing our lives in such a manner worthy to be presented before Him as a bride?
Are we ready in our new and holy costumes to match with our Bridegroom?
Are we prepared to meet Him?
Have we been anointed with the Holy oil, to be presented in such a gathering of saints, angels and all other holy heavenly gathering?
Are we on the knees, in front of the Word (which is a mirror as written in James 1:23), preparing and cleansing ourselves of all the filth and fun of this world that makes us ugly and worldly day by day?
Are we tuning ourselves to the WILL OF THE SON OF MAN, so that He may call us 'My Holy and beloved'?

Let us be His cherishing wife each day! Let us be His beloved day by day.
He is at the door, to take up those who stay at His footstool today to be found worthy before the Son of man.

Let us have a heart, soul and mind fully devoted to Him. Then we will follow Him with our whole strength, to be a beloved of Him till the end of this world which approach sooner by the coming of our Lord.

HE DESIRES OUR LOVE and that too with a whole hearted one. If we love Him fully, we will walk after His love. All our decisions and plans of our life will come to no more because we fully gave our soul, heart and strength to Him so that everything will be as HE desires and after His will and permission. We will ask Him and Him alone, for His desire and guidance in each step of our life. We will live in a manner, worthy for Him, so that His heart rejoice! ; and He may proclaim, "How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!"

 

And that WALK AFTER HIS WHOLE DESIRE will be a path of the Cross, a path paved by the footsteps of our beloved, paved by His bleeding feet and marked by His heavy cross, having the imprints marked by His falling down with the cross so heavy!

Only a BRIDE who loves His beloved beyond all human and worldly love and desires can walk that strait, narrow path. It is the Path of her Savior, the path having the droplets of the BLOOD that testifies so Great A LOVE, "Oh, What manner of Love" ; Seeing those imprints and footprints and blood drops, her love for Her beloved increases day by day as she follows the path. She too realizes and take it to her mind that Her Beloved's reproaches, shame and tribulations are her own too...

She is in the world a cross bearer as Her MASTER was, to be a CROWN

BEARER with HIM one day as Her Master is now! That is Her testimony  beyond!! That is the Hope and glory of her calling.

 

The REQUIREMENT OF THE TIME:
                                                        A heart overwhelming with the Love
                                                        for the BELOVED;
                                                        Its time to meet the Bridegroom!
