"A Glorious Bride"

When we truly think about what we shall become, it must cause us to want to prepare ourselves; for we shall be a Glorious Bride. And the greatest mystery of all is how we shall all be adorned. This is going to be so glorious, and so spectacular, that words will not be able to express it. I have shared with you before about the vision I had earlier this year; it was very brief, but I believe it was just a portion of the Train of a Bride's Dress; and for a very split second, there I was looking back through the fabric of the garment. I will never forget it; yet to envision it now, the impact is not the same as it was that morning; which is really understandable, because, just like God's Word will effect us, so do the dreams and visions that we have. Sometimes just a single word from His Word can cause us to quake, and then later we will go back to that same passage, and wonder why it did, or how we can get it to do it again. This is really not that uncommon, and has much to do about the Holy Spirit, and how He speaks to us; it kind of goes back to one of the meanings for Isaiah 55:6, "Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near"; and what Jesus was trying to explain to Nicodemus in John 3:8, "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: So is every one that is born of the Spirit". But I believe this is going to intensify within our churches, very soon. Why do I say that? Because it will be so; just as God has said in His Word that He would, He will; because He has said in His Word, that in the Last Days, He would pour out His Spirit upon the earth; and these are the Last Days (But don't take my word for it; watch). Currently there is a stirring taking place within the Body of Christ, which I believe will cause the Body to draw closer together. What I believe will bring about this moving will be 'Small Group Fellowships'; which many Pastors and Leaders within various churches are currently hearing from God's Spirit; some, more than others; but God is speaking it, nonetheless. This is no little thing for a Senior Pastor to consider, but many are; and God's Spirit is moving them in that direction. What will this do for our churches? Well, for one, it will cause there to be more intimacy within the Body; where people will come together to not just hear God's Word, but to proclaim God's Word. This is much the same way as the early church began; where groups came together all over, throughout the week, and then came together as a larger group on Sunday to celebrate what the Lord was doing within the Body. So it shall be again as we prepare for His soon return. It is time to get our Lamps filled with Oil, for the Bridegroom is coming. Will you be ready? Will your Lamp be full? Just like any wedding, there is a preparation which must take place; and I believe that the Holy Spirit is right now beginning to prepare the Bride for that Glorious Day!!! "I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of Salvation, He hath covered me with the Robe of Righteousness, as a Bridegroom decketh Himself with ornaments, and as a Bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations." (Isaiah 61:10 & 11) (These two verses come right before 62!)
