We are rapidly coming to the end of a spiritual journey leaving us in awe of a God who saved mankind, placed His King on His Holy Hill, Psalm 2. The word in Revelation 22 gives us a panorama of a desire of the Spirit coming together with the Bride. The preparation of the Bride involves the exposure of the false Bride of Babylon, the harlot, Jezebel, that has sought to tie up the religious, political, and financial worlds together in a unholy prostituted union. Whenever these 3 streams come together we are bound to see war, and the birth of despotic nation states trying to subjugate the world under its control. Revelation, John, deals with the downfall of this false bride. We see how the “love of money” has made people corrupt and joining with religious status where money and political power exercise their wickedness over the globe. God deals with her without mercy as much as this false bride has dealt with unwilling subjects, and where saintly blood is spilled with impunity.
There is a marker that brings Jesus the King on the scene. When the love of the Bride, the Honor of the Holy Spirit join together to cry out for the coming of the Lord. This cry is multifaceted in that for the most part of the last 2000 years this cry is for the Coming of the Lord to the Church, to when the Spirit and the Bride know the time is coming that this cry becomes the cry for the Lord to come for the Church. This then turns in the appointed time to the cry for the Lord to come with the Church. The Lord uses the Cry of both the Spirit and the Bride to push on events to their eventual conclusion and the Kairos for His return is perfectly in condition for His Appearing.
For the Bride to cry out she must know she is a Bride, and who she is betrothed to. She must become that loving wife to be, to Jesus, King of Kings, Bridegroom of the eternal Bride. She must submit wholly to the Holy Spirit who has been sent to us, sent into us, sent through us, to get us ready, to make the necessary preparations. The more we submit, the more we are transformed into the Bride without spot or wrinkle.
The relationship with the Holy Spirit must be clear, and must not have any doctrinal trappings. The 45 thousand denominations must return in humility to know that the divisions make obstacles in the Lord’s return. The way for this preparation must be seen as we look at Jesus’ parable in Matthew 25, where the union between the lamps (the Word; Psalm 119) and the oil (the Holy Spirit; Zechariah 4). There must be a return to the Word with Passion and to the Spirit with submission. This is the key to the Lord’s return. His way prepared by the Light we light in the way of His return.
I believe we are in a season of where we need a Bride mentality. We also need to understand how the Holy Spirit is key in that cry that He births in our hearts. Whilst we are playing church politics, living in our own fashion, this Bride mentality cannot birth within us.
Let we see that as our love for Jesus grows, so the cry comes forth, “Jesus, Lord, King and Judge of the Earth come quickly. “He will transition us closer and closer to Him.
Come Lord…come quickly.
Maranatha!
